Walk into a house, any house, and tell me by looking at the walls what brand

I can't tell myself so I get the cheap stuff. Looks OK to me....


More important, IMO, is how easy the paint is to apply, how many coats
it takes to cover whatever was there before, and how long it will last
before the surface needs repainting. A freshly painted wall *may* (but I
could be wrong) not look much different whether it was done with
$50/gal. Benjamin Moore "Aura" or with the cheapest stuff from HD,
Lowe's or Wal-Mart.

I like Behr paint from home depot. have been using it on multiple
homes for years. wears great too


Behr's completely sucks; we go with Valspar (from Lowe's) now after
our horrible experience this last summer trying to get Behr to cover
properly. For the same price, Valspar covered so much better and
delivered a much better color.
