One thing that most homeowners don't know is that Home Depot has a line of paint designed for contractors called Behr PRO. Consumers can find it on the shelves, and you don't need to be a contractor to buy the brand. Buying in bulk—meaning a five-gallon bucket—doesn't always pay off.
Before you grab that bucket, price it out on a per-gallon basis and see if single gallons might be cheaper or more practical for your needs. For example, you may only need three to four gallons of paint for your job, which means a five-gallon bucket could be overkill and overpriced for your project. Sometimes, the price per gallon and the price for a five-gallon bucket are extremely close, and, other times, the bucket is a better deal.
Prices may vary near you, so always do the math to find your best buy. Home Depot knows its customers like to tackle home projects on long holiday weekends. That's why it's a good idea to keep an eye out for great sales on paint brands during major holidays, such as Memorial Day, Labor Day, or President's Day.
You could save several dollars on a gallon of interior and exterior paint if you time it just right. It pays to dig around for Home Depot coupons to use during sales. The store honors competitor coupons, and if you sign up for mobile alerts, newsletters, and complete in-person or online workshops, you will receive coupons and discounts.
Offers vary by location. Many Home Depot stores keep a small, discreet section of what's termed "oops" paints. Behr Process Corporation cannot guarantee that you will achieve proper results without verifying your measurements and assumptions. Figuring out how much paint to buy doesn't have to be tricky. It's important to purchase enough paint to complete your project, but not have a large amount of paint leftover.
Consult the back of the label for specifics. For very small or very large quantities of paint, BEHR paint can be purchased in quarts or five gallon pails, in addition to the standard one gallon size.

Step 2 To estimate the size of the wall area, first measure the perimeter of the entire room. Next, measure the height of your wall.
Multiply the perimeter measurement by the height of the room. Subtract the doors and windows from your measurement. For reference, an average window is 15 square feet and the average door is Step 3 For trim , measure the total length of trim for all expanses: baseboard, door, window and molding. The average trim width is six inches, so multiply your trim length by 0.
If you are painting the ceiling along with your walls, follow these simple steps and add the ceiling size to your total room square footage. First measure the room's width then the room's length. Multiply the width and the length measurements to determine the total ceiling area.

It can be used for stippling and applying sand paints. Question: Buying an older home in Chicago with layer upon layer upon layer of paint. Can these walls be sanded down with a power drywall sander, primed and painted again instead of replacing all the walls? Answer: Knowing the age of your home, I would be very concerned about layers of lead paint underneath.
I definitely wouldn't sand the walls without first checking for lead paint with a lead tester kit. You can buy them at home improvement stores. Unless the paint's chipping off, I wouldn't even sand them other than a light surface sanding for new paint. Yes, there are electric paint removers that will sand off the layers, but that's not going to be easy. It's going to produce a huge mess and the plaster will be damaged.
If the existing paint's in decent condition, but not smooth, consider skim coating the surface instead of sanding through the layers. You could tear the old walls out and replace them with new drywall, but that will be a big project too. Answer: The new drywall should first be primed with a PVA primer to seal the surface. Don't paint it without priming first. Paint the walls with a durable and washable anti-mildew bathroom paint. Bathroom paint is good for handling humidity and would work well on the garage walls too if it gets hot and humid.
You could also use a durable trim enamel on the walls in a satin or semi-gloss finish. Sherwin Williams Emerald urethane trim enamel is for interior and exterior use. Answer: Satin and semi-gloss are both good if you want easier surface cleaning. I prefer the satin finish of the product I use. You can use flat if you don't want the surface to be shiny, but the dull surface makes it harder to wash dirt off.
Question: What do you, the writer of this article, think about Dunn Edwards paint? Have you used it? Do you recommend it? Question: We are repainting our entryway - which white paint would you recommend for the walls to pair with a wood ceiling? Answer: Duration Home, or Harmony, both from Sherwin Williams, are good washable paints to use on the stairway walls.
Question: Exterior Paint - SW which is best? Would you suggest a satin finish? Answer: Sherwin Williams Duration exterior paint is good. I like the satin finish. Super Paint is good too and cheaper.
Emerald exterior paint is said to be their best paint, but I've never used that product. I've only used Duration and Super Paint with good results.
Both can be used on multiple types of surfaces. I haven't used Valspar paint, but for trim paint, I like Pro Classic acrylic enamel. It sprays nice. The durability is good and it won't yellow. What are your thoughts on Valspar diamond paint? What do you find is the Best acrylic paint for trim that will not turn yellow overtime?
This feed and comments have been very helpful. Wondering if someone could help with a specific question. Now, I'd like to repaint but can't seem to match the color Winter Wheat even with Benjamin Moore paint. None of the colors are really close. Either to grey or greenish when the original color is very warm. Any ideas? Should I try BM Aura? Also, does anyone know if the Regal Classic had primer in it?
I don't think so and for a novice painter like me, it was the perfect consistency. I have been in the remodeling and painting business for over 40 years. The only true difference in the paints is the same as the difference between a Mercedes and a BMW. It's all in the person's personal preference. In today's world the paints are all so technically manufactured they all perform in a similar state.
I don't like Marquis and high end paints from SW and Duron because I don't like their brush performance. The Behr Ultra is my ideal paint, not too thick and covers beautifully. I also love the PPG Timeless brand, it too seems to find that happy medium!
Another important factor to me and my customers is the color reflection! I seem to get my best color performance compared to the advertised sample with the Ultra and the Timeless. I don't believe in any "one-coat" paint because many coats provide a depth the one coat cannot. I also paint cars and it's so true that the more coats you are willing to spray and rub down the more depth you get in the look!! One more most important note: the paint is not the decider of the look, the preparation and the application decide the look!!!
