Hi sapdr, thank you for your question. So long as your previous container also has the base number 558 listed on it, that will confirm that this is the same product. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions. -Lina

    I just painted the ceiling in my bathroom. What is the recommended drying time before using the shower in that bathroom?

    Answer This Question

    Hi Susan, thanks for your question. You should allow the paint to dry with good ventilation for at least 2 days before using your shower. However, please keep in mind that the longer the paint has to dry the better, as the extra moisture from the shower can slow down the drying process. Have a great day! -Christina

      Hi Harry, thank you for your question. Our untinted Ultra Bright White is our brightest and whitest paint. With that in mind, we cannot tint it whiter. Have a great day! -Lina

        How soon can I tape off the ceiling to paint the walls to get a clean line

        Answer This Question

        Hi Mikey, thanks for your questions. Freshly painted surfaces (paint applied less than 30 days ago) should dry for at least 24 hours before a low-tack painter's tape for fresh paint is used. Have a great day! -Lina

            Answer This Question

            Hi Doug, thank you for your question. The Ceiling Paint can be used for bathroom ceilings. However, if you need added protection against moisture and mildew, I recommend a higher sheen, such as satin or semi-gloss. Have a great day! -Giovanna

              Answer This Question

              Hi Tony, thank you for your question. The Premium Plus Paint in this specific product listing has been tinted to our color Pink Wink M120-3. With that in mind, it will not dry white. However, our Premium Plus Ceiling Paint is available in the untinted Ultra Pure White color or can be tinted to the color of your choice. You can reach out to Home Depot for further assistance with your purchase. Have a great day! -Lina

                  After using the more expensive Behr Ultra flat ceiling paint I noticed quite a sheen after the second coat. So I checked with chat GPT for the flattest Behr ceiling paint and it turns out the lower grade regular flat ceiling paint is indeed flatter, even after adding a second coat. I’m not the greatest taper so I needed the flattest possible to hide ceiling imperfections.

                  It was great. I only needed 1 coat on a newly textured ceiling. Did 3 bedrooms with 2 gallons.

                  Beware of this product
                  I’ve bought 3 of these pails and all have had dried chunks in it requiring screening. The finish is flashed like a poor quality semi gloss. Won’t buy again.

                  Hi Gyea, thank you for your review. I'm terribly sorry to hear about the chunks you've experienced, and across multiple containers too! This is not what we want our customers to go through. Our paint should have an even and creamy consistency. If not, stirring the product for 3-5 minutes will get it to the correct texture. In the case that this doesn't resolve the issue, it may be best not to use the container. In any case, your customer satisfaction is important to us. Please reach out to us directly so we can learn more about your project and assist you further. We hope to hear from you soon! -Lina Behr

                    This is the friendliest paint I’ve ever used. This paint is so easy to work with on walls with roller brush and also hand paintbrush. If you catch a drip or other oops it can be fixed even up to 5 min. Looks beautiful in Greige Eggshell. I also liked the paint can which is made of plastic with an option to insert a spout for pouring paint for less mess. My painting surfaces included painting over walls of plaster, painted wood paneling, painting over spackling and paintable acrylic caulking. As long as I provided enough paint on the brush it was a positive experience using this paint in my living room walls.

                    “Why Use Good Paint When You Can Use This?”
                    I gave this paint every chance to prove itself—used it in the basement, my daughter’s room, our master bedroom, and finally the kitchen. Each time, it found a new way to sabotage the job. This paint isn’t just bad—it feels like it’s actively working against you. I prepped perfectly: ceilings primed with either Kilz 2 or Zinsser 123, both of which laid down beautifully. Then I rolled on this paint, and that’s where the nightmare started. It streaks. It flashes. It clings to the roller like glue and pulls up the finish you just applied. Every ceiling became a battle—and a loss. I kept trying because we already had it on the ceiling in several rooms and I didn’t want to switch midstream. That mistake cost me hours of rework, extra materials, and a finish that still looks second-rate. I’m done. I’m cutting my losses and switching brands. Maybe Home Depot should take notes from Zinsser, Sherwin-Williams, or Benjamin Moore—brands that actually seem interested in helping your project succeed. This paint? It’s a disaster in a can, just waiting to ruin your work
