RE: Is Walmart Paint Quality Paint? Post By EDDIE WILLIAMS (Guest Post) (11/03/2008) This weekend past my son painted 2 ceilings for me. I was very pleased with the coverage with this paint. We will use Wal-Mart Pain on the walls next. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Walmart Paint Quality Paint? Post By Lisa from Sheboygan (Guest Post) (09/17/2008) I love using WalMart Paint. I prefer it to Behr. It seems to go on smoother, and the colors are just as bright and bold has the more expensive paints. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Walmart Paint Quality Paint?

Do not use Walmart on the outside of your house! Use Duration it is well worth it, Super Paint is good too, both are from Sherwin-Williams.

After 20 or so trips to paint match , they agreed to furnish me what ever it takes to do the project! Which did not need repainted I merely ran out of touch up paint! Well now they say I should furnish the primer I wouldn't be doing it at all if it wasn't for them! MY wall looks like a smorgas board of paint tests! I'm so mad, I don't have this kind of time 2400 sq feet and I have to do 4 buildings to match that one! They advertise match any color. Cost me 300.00 in gas alone trying to get it right! All it takes to have the wrong color is lifting the die one notch too much! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Walmart Paint Quality Paint?

Color Place used to be rated very high by Consumer Reports, although I haven't seen a recent issue. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Walmart Paint Quality Paint? Post By rita (Guest Post) (02/28/2008) Go to your local library and get the edition of Consumer Reports that evaluates paint. I never start a project or invest in an expensive item without consulting them first. Three years ago they recommended Kilz paint from Walmart as a good paint. I used it and was very pleased.

I had him use it in my bathroom and it works great. No problem with the semi-gloss at all. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Walmart Paint Quality Paint?

I recently painted two rooms and ceilings in Sherwin Williams and was very pleased with the coverage, etc. Good luck. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Walmart Paint Quality Paint? Post by Cindy in Texas (45) | (02/27/2008) Profile | Contact Seven years ago we build a new home. Since I had done a lot of staining with Behr, and had great success we used Behr paint inside and outside on the house. Maybe it's just me but I hate it. About three years we started repainting outside. It has faded and peeled. On the doors and walls on the inside can not be wiped clean or the paint will wash off. We brought the semi-gloss enamel that was supposed be able to clean. (The most expensive one). Our other home we used Glidden and when we repaint I am going back to it. My sister used Sherwin-Williams on her home and she really likes it. It is a high price, but it last a long time. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Walmart Paint Quality Paint? Post By Mary (Guest Post) (02/27/2008) I have always loved Sears paint. The satin finish is beautiful. I tried the Behr satin finish in a deep red for my kithen/dining room combo. Its the worst paint I ever used. It didn't go on evenly, it bubbles near the stove area and it stuck to the blue tap and peeled off the wall. I'm going back to Sears!

It is ok if you are going to paint a room or two. I would not use it in the bathroom or any other place where there;s moisture. Its not that it is bad, but Behr paint has done much more for me. Wal mart paint isn't as thick and it may take more coats. If your wanting to remodel or vive up a room cheaply...it's great. But if you plan on keeping the same color of paint for years and years, you might want to check with behr or something. Walmart paint is not made by sherman williams. it is manufactured by walmart! DO not get paint from a dollar store! Where u would normally paint 1 or 2 coats, you will have to paint 6 or 7 coats because it is so thin!! I know from experience and lessons learned! Best of luck to you, but if price is not the biggest concern, i would go with behr from home depot! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Walmart Paint Quality Paint?

Post By Ted Norris (Guest Post) (02/27/2008) Wal-Mart doesn't make paint, they buy it and sell it under there name, who makes it for them would be interesting to know but you can bet it's one of the major paint Mfg's, Home Depot sell Behr paint as there brand and they are paint Mfg's, to compete with the Major brands, Dutch Boy, Sherwin Williams, you better be as good or better or your not going to be around long, if one was to do a Google search I'm sure you could find out about test results.

Used it a lot and have always been pleased Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Walmart Paint Quality Paint? Post by MartyD (416) | (02/27/2008) Profile | Contact It is safe to buy some "store brands". I'm not sure I would use store brand paint. It would be a waste of money and a lot of hard work before finding out it is inferior. Much too risky for this old woman. The name brands don't cost that much more and you know they will work. Try Gliddens, Sherwin-williams, Behr or any other national brand. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Walmart Paint Quality Paint? Post By Darlene (Guest Post) (02/26/2008) We bought paint from walmart before. One thing I suggest doing if you are buying a color off the shelf, instead of a custom color, is making sure that the Lot numbers are the same. We bought 2 different 5 gallon buckets of an off white color and the color name was the same. however, since the paint was made in different lots. There was a variation in the color. Application, texture, etc, were all fine, just a color variation. Good luck! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Walmart Paint Quality Paint? Post by MCW (637) | (02/26/2008) Profile | Blog! | Contact See if Walmart sells a name brand paint. Or possibly Walmart has their own name brand. Don't buy any paint from bargain stores, they are inferior. I speak from experience. Major paint manufacturers that make the actual paint will sell it to stores and it's sold under another label. Talk to someone who works in Walmart's paint department and ask some questions. Also look on the side of the paint can and see if it has a printed guarantee. Report Spam or Abuse
