Diamond Brite Paint1 Gallon Flat Latex Paint in Soft Grey 12700-1

If you're painting over a lighter color maybe 2 coats will do. If any darker color is being covered, you will need at least 3 coats. I bought 2 gallons at $15 each and for that price, it's great. Must use light touch on 2nd or 3rd coat because too much brush pressure and prior coats come off ... Easy cleanup-water based. Roller worked fine though. Smell very slight so it's a trade-off.

First I'm not sure why there are negative reviews about this Diamond Brite Dove Grey paint. This was my first time using this brand and was happy to find it being on such a tight budget. The room I used it in hadn't had a new coat of paint in over 30 years so I did prime the walls first and that took 2 coats to fully cover since it was so long between paintings. I knew going into this job that 1 coat of paint wasn't going to work, even if I was to purchase a $35 gallon of paint. Yes the first coat didn't cover completely but the second coat sure did. When I first opened the paint that had been sitting at my home since delivery over a week prior to using it I found it took little effort to stir the paint. There wasn't a thick sludge on the bottom that had to be incorporated into the paint, it only took a few minutes of good stirring to mix the paint well and it was ready to use. It went on smooth and even, not too thick and not too thin. My problem was that being on a budget I purchased a inexpensive roller and covers which I know I won't do again.If your on the fence about purchasing this paint I would have to tell you to go ahead and get it. It has very low odor, apply's well and dries quick. My only negative about the paint is the color, not that it isn't correct but that I thought it would be a bit darker, maybe I was thinking of a Pigeon and not a Dove lol. I have included a photo of a piece of copy paper against the wall to give you a idea of the shade of grey it drys too.I will be a regular customer now of Diamond Brite paints - one room down and 6 more to go! lol. Oh and by the way I did use the Diamond Brite White ceiling paint and it worked just as well!

I was weary at first but I g paint on Amazon but the paint went on easily and the color was beautiful

I have learned flat paint is good for cheap covers or ceilings. Not for walls that will be touched. Or need to last. But for a celing... cheap and white. Done

The paint wasn't that good

La verdad esperaba mas para este producto es horrible en verdad no lo compren tantito le cae agu y se mancha la pared no lo puedes limpiar porq quitas la pintura es horrible en todo el sentido hasta el color enverdad guiate y piensa si esto es reelmente lo que quieres yo no lo puedo regresar ya q ya lo use y ya que se seserro para yo reenviarlo

Very thin paint, but it was to freshen up a hallway with a nearly identical shade that was nearly 10 years old.Use a good brush, apply a thick amount to small areas at a time, and it worked how I needed to.If you're looking to change a wall color, either use a better brand, or prime the wall first.

A good value
