Great Paint

"We used this paint on our textured walls in our kitchen and love it. We choose the satin finish and it washes beautifully. I'm a messy cook and have to spot clean places about once a week and you can't tell where I have washed at all. It took two coats, but that was expected due to the fact that the walls were still new construction flat white paint. We are very happy with the wear and tear of this paint and will be using it in our dining room and living room."

One week later and the room still stinks

"I usually use Olympic no-VOC paint but decided to try the Sherwin Williams because I thought it would be a better product. I chose the HGTV because it was supposed to be no-VOC and I was told that the tints were no-VOC too. I am using this for a baby's room, so this is important to me. Well, I painted the room and a week later it STILL smells like paint. I've kept the windows open, put fans in the room. It's better, but this smell is ridiculous. I gave it one star because the paint stuck to the wall, but for a no-VOC paint, the smell is unacceptable."

Not the best - but good enough for most jobs

"I needed a deep red color that required a deep base unavailable in the SW paint I normally use. The shop keeper recommended this type. I used a Kilz medium grey primer and two top coats of HGTV Home tinted deep red and all was fine. I did not get the coverage I normally get with Duration, but it went on smooth using Purdy 1/2" nap rollers over a non-textured walls. I'm using it again this weekend on my teen daughters room."

Not durable

"The paint was easy to work with and I always do 2 coats for coverage. The problem I am having with it is you cannot clean it or get it wet. The paint turns darker there, so it will have to be touched up. It is the flat paint, but I have used Harmony flat before (it is more expensive) and you could clean it. I have 2 more rooms to paint and I am going to try and exchange it. Painting is too much work to not have good durable washable paint."

"I had high hopes for this paint. We normally use SuperPaint flat. The color we wanted was not available in the SuperPaint because it was so dark. The local shop recommended the HGTV Home flat. This paint is horrible. We painted a dark red over another red that was a half step brighter. The colors were almost exactly the same. We were told we did not need to prime over it because the colors were so similar. It took 4 or 5 coats for the paint to match the swatch. This is quite ridiculous. I don't know if it is because the shade was so dark or if the paint is really garbage. I just noticed the mixing was a "custom manual match" instead of the regular tinting method. Possibly this paint should have never been mixed this dark and it watered down the other solids. The paint seemed thick like the SuperPaint but flowed on the wall like it was thinned too much. We did not thin the paint at all. The touch up looks HORRIBLE! I used the same roller as when I originally applied the paint a couple weeks ago. You can see every mark like it was a bad tint match. It was the same paint applied from the same can. It never sat open and was mixed well before applying. This paint sticks to both the "green tape" as well as the new "special blue tape". I had it peel away from the wall in a sheet in a few places even after letting the paint dry for a couple days and scoring the tape with a razor. I have needed to wipe a couple spots with a rag to clean up cooking splatter. The color comes right off on the rag and the mark where I wiped is still visible. This is unacceptable for a "premium" paint. I have had better luck with cheaper paints from the orange big box shops.
Lesson learned: stick to SuperPaint. It is much more predictable and coats incredibly well. I will be asking for a refund on this product as I will now need to repaint my walls."

"Painted 2 rooms just today with the HGTV paint and I loved it! Beautiful colors, thick paint, covered well in 2 coats (with no primer btw), dried quickly (by the time we got through with the first coat we could start with the second), little odor, and clean-up was a snap! My childrens' bedrooms look great! I will continue to use this paint!"

"We used this paint in satin (crossiant color) and it took 3 coats with a 1/2" nap roller. It was a new townhouse that was painted all white from the builder (basically was the primer).
If you are looking for a one coat paint this is not the paint but if you are okay with multiple coats to avoid streaks it is good for the price.
Purchased when they had the sale for $27 per gallon which was reasonable."

Disappointing performance

"I've always used and recommended Sherwin Williams paint but cannot recommend the HGTV paint. The dye never completely mixed in even after it was shaken at the store and I stirred it with the paint stick. My walls were primed two days before and the paint still didn't look even when it dried. The paint was runny and made lines on the wall and will show whatever color is behind it. :( We painted the walls twice with the HGTV paint. If you only want to paint once and be done use Duration. I will be painting this room for the third and final time with Duration. Expensive lesson learned."

DISAPPOINTING
August 26, 2012
August 26, 2012

"I’ve owned 4 homes and each of them have been painted; this is my first experience with HGTV brand. It was recommended to me by the contractor and by his own admission it was his first experience with the paint. He said it seemed to be a good quality and had prior experience with SW brand. We loved the color selections and decided to give it a shot. The positives are that the colors were beautiful, and after applied the eggshell seems to be holding up well. Unfortunately, for the majority of the house we used a flat finish and the quality of the paint is absolute garbage. I’ve always used a flat finish because its so easy to touch up, and the true color seems to be more evident as opposed to the sheen in eggshell or satin finishes, but with HGTV paint touching up is impossible. I had the contractor come back and while his work was good, he essentially told me he wasn’t willing to fix the issues because it was the paint and not the workmenship.
If I could give the paint a “zero star” rating I would, and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I am not going to have my entire house repainted because after only 3 months of having this on the walls they look like they have had 10 plus years of wear on them. Frustrated and disappointed to say the least. HORRIBLE paint, spend the little extra and go with Benjamin Moore or some other reputable brand. Even the basic Sherwin Williams brand or the Home Depot brands are better than this gimmick from HGTV."

"I had to paint a ceiling that is swirled plaster. I really expected to have to paint it twice to get the coverage I needed. Nope. Once over and the job was done. This paint worked really well and covered beautifully. I would absolutely use it again. My next trip to the S-W store, I was talked into buying their Cashmere brand. It was HORRIBLE. A total and complete waste of money. Stick with HGTV and save money, time and temper tantrums!"

"I painted my dining room Antique Red. I was a little concerned because I have used red before and sometimes it doesn't cover that great but the HGTV paint was easy to use and covered really well. And it didn't have a strong paint smell either. I would definitely use it again. Now that my dining room looks so good, I think I need to get a new color for the living room too."

"I've used 1 coat paints and they worked great. Quite a bit more expensive. I used a lighter yellow in this to cover a dark mustard yellow and it worked great. I only needed 1 coat but I did apply it thick. This is leaps and bounds better than Wal-mart and Ace's new Kensington paint. This isn't the absolute best paint but it's reasonably priced, good colors, and much better than a lot of other brands."

First painting project turned out really nice!

"The laundry room in my first place was my first painting project since helping my granddad repaint a room white when I was like 9. My laundry room was taped and mudded but not painted. Despite the negative reviews, I bought a can of Drywall Primer in white (no tint because I used it on celing too) along with white Ceiling paint and a can of HGTVs satin paint in Olive Grove. I painted two coats of primer then two coats of topcoat. This was my first real painting project and I did not expect one coat to cover well and neither should the negative reviewers have either. How can a single coat of paint achieve 100% coverage over walls primed in white? And even if you tint the primer I don't think it'll cover 100% with one coat. I dont know I am new to this but maybe there is a Hundred dollar paint that does but dont expect a paint at one third its cost to perform the same. People we are saving alot of money painting ourselves as opposed to having a pro do it. You have already gotten rid of the labor charge don't try to go even cheaper and think that you're going to use ONE coat and its gonna look like a painter did it. Take your time, expect to paint TWO coats and it WILL look like a painter did it. And still you will come out cheaper. My laundry room came out great. The Olive Grove color contrasts nicely with the HGTV satin in Humble Gold the contractors used when they reno'd my kitchen. Plus the transition from the kitchen to the laundry is seamless--it looks like they did the painting!"

"I'm not sure why all the bad reviews on this paint. I was recommended to use this product for my master b/room from the manager of the store (who is a friend) and it went on beautifully. I have used many paints in my 9 yr old home and this one was equal to any of the "top" brands I have used. I know not to expect perfect coverage with one coat so I always plan on two, and this covered beautifully, my room looks amazing. I am getting ready to paint the bathroom and look forward to using this paint again. We are also painting my daughter's room and using this same paint, for the price (when on sale) it's a really nice paint."

Great for a mid grade paint

"I'm shocked by the bad reviews. How can you expect the best quality out of a mid grade paint??? No, the coverage is far from Super Paint, but this is NOT a one coat paint, so why get upset because one coat wont do. After two coats using the HGTV roller, my room looks great. I would recommend HGTV if one gallon is enough for two coats. If not, go with Super Paint or Duration. You'll save more in the long run."
