Diamond Brite Paint11200 5-Gallon Flat Latex Paint Off White

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!

we used this to paint the inside of our wooden yard barn. it covered bare wood pretty well although it took two coats. it would NOT have covered another paint but is working well in our barn.

I’ve applied 4 coats to a ceiling and it still shows too many imperfections. The ceiling was a light shade of pastel green and I covered with the flat bright white and still has not covered many spots. Had to buy different paint from Lowe’s to finally do the job.

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.

I brought this paint for my brothers home, he loved how smooth it felt to use the roller with this paint, he was impress by the texture and wants another 5 gallon when the weather is a little warmer...Only one coat cover the wall he couldn't believed it, the last time he painted his living room was few years ago, the walls had stains unbelievable sight no signsof stain anymore...

If you want to waste your money and time this is the paint for you. I bought the dove gray and after 2 coats could still see under it and it was a light cover under. One wipe after dried for days and every bit of the paint came off. I dont usually leave bad reviews but this paint is terrible, you get what you pay for and with this you get even less.

This is a gallon of latex paint delivered to your door for $20! Yes, its not the quality of $40 paint, but it did a very good job for me. Two coats covered bare plywood very well. Not to thin to apply easily with a roller, with not too much tendency to drip or run! Would buy again.

It was like water, did not even begin to cover, I had to run out and buy a gal at a small shop locally because I had someone to paint for me already at the house, it ended up costing me 35 for a gal a paint besides the money for the gal I purchased from this buyer
