My Paint Preference

I mentioned on a previous post that I prefer Glidden’s Ultra-Hide 770 semi-gloss paint, formerly called America’s Finest.

Here are five reasons why:

  • With other paints, when applying a second coat, the first coat begins to peal back up.  This paint has never had that issue for me.
  • This paint is cheap for gallon size.  $18/gallon.  With how often I paint, it needs to be cheap.
  • The coverage this paint provides is great!  Covering over a similar color only takes one coat and covering over a color outside of the color pallet takes only 2 coats!  Unless of course you are painting white over a color.
  • Semi-gloss paint is more reflective than flat paint and brightens up the house.  (Tip – put semi-gloss paint on your ceiling to make your space look larger.
  • Semi-gloss paint is easy to wipe clean.
