Good Quality Home Paint

" Duration is a thick, heavy paint that rolls and brushes on pretty smoothly considering the viscosity. I ordered the matte finish in Tricorn Black to cover the upper half of the walls of two bathrooms. My walls were already black, but the wrong tone and in a too-glossy finish. Matte is a personal choice and I love it, but to be clear, satin or semi gloss is actually what is generally recommended for bathrooms. I never expect a primer-painter in one to actually prime very well, and I always expect two coats, but this job really only required two coats because I'm a perfectionist. The coverage is really incredible. I noticed picture-framing because the edges dried very quickly before I could get it all rolled into them, and this paint will dry on the brush if you aren't quick/careful. However, there were absolutely zero drips or sagging. I felt confident enough with how well it laid on that I didn't feel a need to tape off anything. "

Choose Carefully

" I am very experienced with interior and trim painting. I always prep and prime carefully. Side note: don't ever skip priming, even if your product claims to have primer built it! I totally fell for the selling points on the Cashmere line, mainly that it lays on smooth and buttery for easy application. I bought a custom mixed highly saturated cobalt-ish blue for a single feature wall in my living room, about 120 square feet. Considering the bright color, going over a medium yellow greige, I had my good primer tinted for coverage. I estimated it would take roughly half a gallon in two coats of the paint after priming. The Cashmere gallon was gloppy, thick and full of clots right out of the store and no amount of stirring with my drill and attachment fixed it. There was no way this would self level, as they imply with their blurb. It took almost every drop to cover the wall consistently, three coats, fighting it to get it to spread evenly. It tried to "picture frame" and my normal technique of rolling vertically in overlapping even strokes removed as much paint as it laid down. I cursed it the whole time, but got the job technically finished. That was three years ago. Keeping in mind that latex paint never truly cures, this stuff is still more remarkably sticky than normal and attracts dust like a magnet. The color is fading, even though it's not subject to any direct sunlight. I can tell the sheen (low lustre) is inconsistent and dried shinier than expected, though others don't tend to notice. I recently painted my trim and had to cut back in around the door in that wall. The leftover paint was just as clotted and horrific as I remembered, and it was really hard to get a good straight line with it, but it dried into the surrounding section fairly well (of course, it's a bit brighter, but this is in a shadowed section of the wall). I don't know if I got just a really, really, really bad batch, but considering the cost, I have no intentions of ever using this line again. "
