Diamond Brite Flat Latex Paint, Brite White, 1 Gallon, 12050-1

First I'm not sure why there are negative reviews about this Diamond Brite Dove Grey paint. This was my first time using this brand and was happy to find it being on such a tight budget. The room I used it in hadn't had a new coat of paint in over 30 years so I did prime the walls first and that took 2 coats to fully cover since it was so long between paintings. I knew going into this job that 1 coat of paint wasn't going to work, even if I was to purchase a $35 gallon of paint. Yes the first coat didn't cover completely but the second coat sure did. When I first opened the paint that had been sitting at my home since delivery over a week prior to using it I found it took little effort to stir the paint. There wasn't a thick sludge on the bottom that had to be incorporated into the paint, it only took a few minutes of good stirring to mix the paint well and it was ready to use. It went on smooth and even, not too thick and not too thin. My problem was that being on a budget I purchased a inexpensive roller and covers which I know I won't do again. If your on the fence about purchasing this paint I would have to tell you to go ahead and get it. It has very low odor, apply's well and dries quick. My only negative about the paint is the color, not that it isn't correct but that I thought it would be a bit darker, maybe I was thinking of a Pigeon and not a Dove lol. I have included a photo of a piece of copy paper against the wall to give you a idea of the shade of grey it drys too. I will be a regular customer now of Diamond Brite paints - one room down and 6 more to go! lol. Oh and by the way I did use the Diamond Brite White ceiling paint and it worked just as well!

Bonito color

This paint was basically clear, with a tint. There was some white in it, but not enough to make the paint cover anything! Believe me, we stirred the "paint" VERY well, but nothing did any good. It simply went on translucent...didn't even cover the spackle! We've been painting things for a long time, and this is the WORST paint we've ever seen!!! The price is so low for a reason.

Overall is not a bad paint. It's just on the dead side but after two to three coats the color is fairly decent. Would I buy it again depends on what I'm painting.

I use this on walls that dont get alot of traffic

For the price of this paint is well worth it to me it's a one coat type finish is just a real nice paint for the price hats off to diamond Bright thank you guys

This is a gallon of latex paint delivered to your door for $20! Yes, its not the quality of $40 paint, but it did a very good job for me. Two coats covered bare plywood very well. Not to thin to apply easily with a roller, with not too much tendency to drip or run! Would buy again.

I have learned flat paint is good for cheap covers or ceilings. Not for walls that will be touched. Or need to last. But for a celing... cheap and white. Done
