These paints are a little pricey (but if you look around you can catch a coupon somewhere or another), but definitely worth it. I've covered many walls with just one coat. I love their primer. On one occasion I needed to paint an 8 1/2 foot tall wall that was approx 9 1/2 feet wide. I had just sheetrocked it. The whole room was being painted in a creamy white, but that one wall was going to be midnight blue. They recommended a (grey) tinted primer (just a quart) with just a quart of deep blue paint. It came out beautifully! While I was still painting (and the paint was still quite wet) I threw some gold glitter (also from Sherwin Williams) onto the paint. The result was spectacular. I bought some inexpensive bedding from Walmart in a celestial pattern and added deep blue carpeting. I even had enough paint and primer left over (from the quart of each!) to prime and paint the new radiator cover I had just made. I didn't have this same luck with Behr paint in another room. It took three coats to barely cover light pink walls and turn them powder blue. Not a very pleasant experience!
