Which Interior Paint Brand Wins?

tied for 2nd with Valspar Signature; called a virtual tie with Valspar Signature, both did extremely well; described as extremely thick and sticky, going on very heavy

tied for 2nd with Behr Marquee; slightly better coverage than PPG Timeless with less shadowing

better than the less expensive brands, but still some shadowing and not quite as good as the top performers

a little better than Glidden Premium, though a faint shadow remained

a respectable job, though not as good as Pittsburgh at covering the dark underlying paint

did quite well for a budget paint, notably better coverage than ColorPlace

quite a bit better than Valspar Pro, though still had areas of poor one-coat coverage; called good performance 'when you consider the price'

did not do a good job, a lot of the dark underlying color remained visible

great one-coat coverage but slightly more yellowing than Valspar Signature

better one-coat coverage than PPG Timeless with little yellow tint, and judged slightly better than Behr Marquee here

great one-coat coverage but noticeable yellowing

better one-coat coverage than Glidden and slightly better than Dutch Boy, though with a bit more yellow appearance than Glidden

pretty good one-coat coverage, similar to Pittsburgh, but with a bit more yellowing than Pittsburgh

very evenly matched with ColorPlace, with slightly less yellowing than ColorPlace

quite a bit better one-coat coverage than Valspar Pro, but with noticeable yellowing

poor one-coat coverage again, though comparatively little yellowing versus some other brands

PPG Timeless, Valspar Signature, and Sherwin-Williams all slightly outperformed it on marker coverage

edged out Sherwin-Williams in a close comparison, though PPG Timeless looked slightly better

outperformed all the less expensive paints and looked slightly better than Valspar Signature at covering the marker stain

did better than ColorPlace and Glidden Premium at times, though ColorPlace edged it out on the marker stain at one comparison point; very close with Dutch Boy, which may have edged it out slightly

may have edged out Pittsburgh slightly on the permanent marker stain, though ColorPlace still outperformed both

outperformed by ColorPlace and Pittsburgh at covering the permanent marker stain

did a much better job than Valspar Pro and Glidden Premium at covering the permanent marker, and outperformed Pittsburgh and Dutch Boy in one comparison

the crayon and permanent marker stains proved very challenging, worst result of the group at that stage

terrific job, no more scuffing, most of the purple gone, some permanent marker removed, small amount of mustard staining left

didn't remove the crayon stain quite as well as Valspar Signature, similar mustard staining to Valspar Signature

more mustard staining than Valspar Signature and PPG Timeless

did remarkably well, most of the mustard stain and the scuff mark were gone, though crayon and marker remained

pretty good job; a little more mustard staining than Pittsburgh but a similar (maybe slightly less) amount of crayon residue

definitely better than ColorPlace, less mustard staining remaining and some of the marker starting to come off, though quite a bit of crayon staining and some scuff remained

did not do very well, quite a bit of mustard stain left and the marker stain did not come off at all

looked good at first glance but on closer inspection the paint itself was washing away, not just the stain, an undesirable result

took the top spot in this test

presenter notes surprise that it 'didn't do a little bit better in this test'

fairly good, not quite as good as Pittsburgh

about the same as Valspar Signature, quite a bit of scuffing

called 'one of the top brands we've tested as far as resisting shoe scuff'

did better than ColorPlace, though not as well as Pittsburgh

slightly worse than Valspar Pro in this specific test

slightly better than ColorPlace in this specific test

overall, barely edging out Valspar Signature

overall, barely behind Behr Marquee

not in the top 3 overall, but part of the premium tier that clearly outperformed all the budget paints

beat Pittsburgh on raw score, but the presenter notes Pittsburgh is much cheaper per gallon and performed nearly as well, making Pittsburgh the better value

explicitly named a very good value paint, cheaper than HGTV and performing nearly as well; also judged better overall than Dutch Boy Forever
