I paid a lot of money to have a new floor installed in the kitchen and within 18 months it was almost completely destroyed. The sheen and finish were worn away, there were chips in the tiles and gaps started to form between the tiles. I made the decision to have the first floor kitchen and bathroom remodeled (again) at the same time and went with a professional installer who suggested Valspar Ultra Premium. There were a couple of reasons for it and so far the paint has been well worth the money. I can wash the walls without worrying about the paint losing a little bit of color and stains come off without having to scrub. Until the latest remodel the first floor bathroom had mostly been used for the toilet and sink; when I had a walk-in tub installed there was a huge gap behind the area where the old tub was and where the new one was going to be placed. The Valspar Ultra Premium covered up the darker color that had been previously used on the bathroom walls without needing a few coats of primer. The drying time is about the same as other indoor paints that have been used here and there's about half a gallon left from the second can so if I need to touch anything up or want to paint the inside of the bathroom door I will have the exact shade needed to do so.

My husband and I decided that we wanted to revamp our kitchen, so the easiest and cheapest way to do that is with paint. I decided that painting our kitchen cabinets ourselves would be a great idea for us to accomplish something together. If I would have known then how much work it is to do I can't say that I would do it again. My husband is very handy and works in the construction field. He purchased this paint because I wanted paint in a soft gloss finish and this is the only one that came that way. We first took all of the cabinets down and put two coats of primer on each cabinet. I used a bonding primer which was awesome because I did not have to sand down all of the cabinets. Coverage I was expecting it to cover much more than it did. It said that it covers really well, and I didn't feel as though I got very good coverage. Even after using two coats of primer I still had to apply three coats of paint to get a covered look. The result however did turn out great!
