        runny, doesn't hide
        This is by far the worst paint I've ever had to use. It runs down the walls and forms drips long after putting in a coat. I'm doing a light yellow in a pure white base over a tan color and it's terrible.

          Terrible coverage
          I bought the Glidden Premium white base to paint the interior of a closet. I tried to balance quality (it’s a closet) with cost. This paint had the worst coverage I’ve ever experienced. Even with priming before applying this paint, I’m probably going to need three coats. The amount of extra time spent on this project isn’t worth saving the $12 extra I could have spent on a quality Behr product.

            Deceptive marketing
            I have a gripe about the marketing tactics used by HD in that they tell you in the specs the container size not the actual amount of paint included in that container. My “5 gallon” bucket sold and marketed as 5 gallons only has 4.53 gallons of paint. I suppose people are either too busy, lazy, or just bad at math to notice when giant corporations use these sneaky tactics to generate millions. Might seem trivial to some but personally I’m just tired of watching the wealth aggregate to the top 1%.

              Goes on kinda thick. Dries kinda soft. We're-doing the ceiling in flat, due to streaks. Washes well.

                Not drippy and hid well with one coat and just a few touch ups!

                  I love this color. Paint applied beautifully to the walls. I would buy this paint again and recommend to others.

                      Great 2 coat coverage
                      I love this no odor paint/primer, as I’m sensitive to all smells. I needed to cover ugly wallpaper in my bathroom. I was only going to cover it with primer and then use peel and stick wallpaper. The wallpaper was deep colored and tight to the wall. Anyway after covering it with the white primer/paint, it was like new drywall so I’m leaving it as is. I truly love my bathroom after 20 yrs again. I did have to cover it twice. It dries within minutes which makes going over it twice so convenient. ❤️

                          I used this paint-primer because it was recommended on a site regarding has low to zero voc. There was very little odor. And that came from a pack of paint fragrance “ Clean Air”, that I added. Totally unnecessary.This paint- primer was used to cover wallpaper my bathroom. It did take two coats but I absolutely finally love my bathroom. I also painted the ceiling, sink cabinet and a stand alone cabinet. Oh yeah and the bathroom door. I’m ecstatic.
