So many ppl don't know you can take anything in, they scan it and voila custom color!

Sherwin Williams will be the best but they're $$$. I'm an architect and we always spec SW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-581368 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 22:47:21 +0000 tinypiglet 581368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Olympic Premium interior latex in an eggshell finish for our nursery, and it was great to work with. No VOCs, all that jazz. We chose "Soothing Aloe," and the room was white to begin with so we skipped primer. We only needed one coat for excellent coverage. The room is fairly small, so it took less than one gallon, just $24 at Lowe's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-579385 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:50:52 +0000 LC 579385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ben Moore Aura is my favorite, hands down. It's pricey, but so worth it for the coverage. I've also used Ben Moore Natura, I didn't love it as much. Sherwin Williams also makes great paint, I've used it and was very happy with the coverage and lack of odor. They have 40% off sales fairly regularly also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-579324 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:39:12 +0000 Mrs. Polish 579324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Behr is my go to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-579317 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:36:46 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 579317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a fan of Benjamin Moore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-579118 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 10:48:52 +0000 LivsMama 579118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Benjamin Moore, hands down. Coverage is incredible. They do have low and no VOCs, but their standard paint is low in VOCs to begin with. We just painted our entire dining room (walls and ceiling) yesterday and had NO scent at all. Its deifnitely pricey (55-60 a gallon) but we typically only need one coat so it saves time and you buy less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-577795 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:21:49 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 577795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, so I'm cheap, but I love Restoration Hardware colors, so I take them to Lowe's and color match them using Valspar paint. I get designer colors for an affordable price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-577788 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:20:36 +0000 MrsH 577788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Benjamin Moore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576961 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 17:04:50 +0000 lavender 576961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used behr paint and primer on two rooms.

SW paint is awesome. </p> <p>For baby's room we used Behr because its low VOC. It seems to go on pretty well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576912 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:56:04 +0000 mlm2934 576912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried others, but we used Behr in rooms and since we are happy with it continue to purchase for all painting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576910 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:55:17 +0000 littlek 576910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a specific brand, but get the paint that has the primer in it. Definitely worth the cost!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576900 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:53:14 +0000 Chillybear 576900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really liked using the Sherwin Williams brands... I waited for them to have 40% off (we had like $250 of paint to buy). I like the colors and the knowledgeable staff its sometimes iffy at lowes or HD. Also if you sign up for their emails online they send you $10 off $50 that you can use during the sales. </p> <p>2nd would be Glidden but i dont like the Duo primer/paint in one. It dries to quickly and then gets tacky and hard to go back over a while rolling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576666 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:00:38 +0000 heartonastring 576666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Benjamin Moore Natura to paint the nursery. It's zero VOC and odourless. It provided really good coverage and I would definitely recommend it. It wasn't cheap though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576661 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:58:13 +0000 spaniellove 576661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always use Benjamin Moore Aura (which is low-VOC)...it does cost more per can, but it has always covered in one coat, except maybe when we painted over a deep terracotta red. And the finish is beautiful...the pigments are great and even the flat is scrubbable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576653 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:57:04 +0000 Sammyfab 576653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always used Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore but we try and wait for the 40% off sales. Paying $50-60/gallon sucks!! I've tried Olympic paint from Lowes and was underwhelmed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576649 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:56:19 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 576649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Benjamin Moore<br /> Behr </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576640 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:54:04 +0000 PurplePumps 576640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I normally use Behr and haven't had any problems with it. I've also used ben moore (cant remember which one, not regal, it was blue can wtih block letters) and find that it does take quite a bit less paint. The last one I tried was ben moore super spec, and I do NOT recommend that. Shockingly it took 2 cans of behr to do one coat ($64), but 1 can of super spec to do 2 coats ($23). But the super spec *needed* the two coats, which I've never had to do before. And I wasn't doing a very pigmented color, that was going on a darker wall. The cost savings was definitely there, but time wise it took another 2.5 hours to do a second coat, vs 4 to put on the first.<br /> Sorry, all this blabing, an the final answer is .. no favorite.<br /> Ben Moore Aura is supposed to be AMAZING - self priming, no VOC, scrubable flat, and dries with in 15 minutes, but $60/can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576585 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:36:12 +0000 prettylizy 576585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the Behr paint and primer all in one, and Beautytone is pretty good too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576577 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:33:48 +0000 Adira 576577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I don't have a favorite, but I've used Behr and really liked them. They are also low/no VOC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576569 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:31:53 +0000 immabeetoo 576569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Oo yes I should have said that! no VOCs is a must with our tot (and our lungs too I guess!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576558 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:29:42 +0000 Bao 576558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Subscribing to this!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-interior-paint-brand#post-576552 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:29:02 +0000 autumnlove 576552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if I have a favorite but we used Frazee last time and Dunn-Edwards this time and they both look nice.

For those who have remodeled before, is there much difference?? </p>
