Im in the process of painting a new construction house. Can not afford the $4500 labor cost that I was quoted. Wondering which brand of paint will be best to use. American Tradition, Olympic, Behr or Glidden. I'm planning on using a Wagner Paint Crew as much as possible.
ThanksLowes Paints (American Tradition - Olympic) or Home Depot (Behr - Glidden)?
No offense, but I would rent a sprayer if I was doing the job. I've applied thousands of gallons of paint, and in my opinion, Wagner, makes great Land Fill.
I prefer Behr, but usually buy away from Home Stores. Porter Paints is one I use here in Florida. Certainly there are other quality paints, such as Sherwin Williams.
Be prepared to pay for quality however. Anything less will have you cursing after the fact.

Behr has worked great and lasted a long time when i have used it, but be sure to prime it first, it gives years of life to paintjob.
I used Behr and was satisfied with it for the walls. I would not recommend it for the ceilings. We used Behr for the ceilings and had to repaint them 3x because we could see roller marks and can still see some. I think it dries too fast. I'd go higher quality for the ceilings.
Behr paint just received the #1 rating in this months Consumer Reports Magazine. I used it interior and exterior 8 years ago on my home, and it still looks great. It is not cheap, but not as expensive as alot of the other paints. You really do get what you pay for in a paint brand. I'd rather pay more and get a really professional looking job! Good Luck!
I didn't get very good coverage with Behr last time I used it. I've always liked and had good luck with Sherwin Williams.
None of the above I prefer Sherwin-Williams ';Pro'; series, much better coverage and longevity.
go to www.craigslist.org
there are contractors that do work on the side on there...very cheaply. some for trade or barter. post an ad and see what you get. and check the services offered.
and i like behr paint.
I was always a big fan of Behr paint but recently used the American Tradition and was very happy with the results.
When I bought my house the previous owners painted all the walls bright mint green and I was able to to do one good coat with no problems. The kitchen was a little trickier only because I used a yellow color but 2 coats it covered very well.
I used eggshell finish for the bedrooms, living room and hallway.
And semi gloss for bathroom, kitchen and my son's room.
All the walls have held up to regular scrubbing and the abuse of a 4 year old and dog.
I had a ';paint party'; to help paint my house. I had 4 people over ordered pizza and drinks we had it done in a day. I have a smaller house but it was much cheaper than to pay someone
Consumer Reports says Sears has the best paint- and I think Shewin Williams makes it.
I use behr on my own home
of the ones you listed go with american traitions, its made by valspar which is a very good paint.Iam a painting contractor and I use valspar paint very regularly. I have very little trouble with it and works well in every way.

Which paint brand is better to use, Behr or Glidden? ?
Most of my family uses Behr.Which paint brand is better to use, Behr or Glidden? ?
i have been a painter for 25 years and i find both behr and gliddens to be nothing but garbage. if you want a good quality paint buy either benjamin moore and pratt and lambert but if you want the best farrow and ball blows them all away. if you are going to take the time to paint why not use a top quality product and deal with an independently owned store instead of these box storesWhich paint brand is better to use, Behr or Glidden? ?
I used Behr on my redwood deck (semi-transparent stain) %26amp; really didn't like it. Never used Glidden. I wish I could remember the name of the paint my neighbor uses, it's the best. But it's not either of these. Sorry.
Out of those 2 Behr but I prefer Benjamin Moore over all the rest. Both the 2 you mentioned are pretty watery so will definitely need two coats and you may still end up with spots showing through.
I tried Behr years ago and found it to be thin and watery so I went back to Glidden which I always used to use. Lately I have been using the Lowe's brand which I really like.
Behr is very good paint BUT their primer and ceiling paint are garbage.
Helpful hint: Tint your primer to the same color as your paint so you may save a coat of paint.
I much prefer Lowe's Olympic to the brands you named.
But Behr is much better than Glidden hands down, because of how well it covers and its texture.
behr....I've used glidden a few times becsause the price was lower. It sucks, leaves drip marks on the wall and pealks off easily.
I like Behr better because it adheres to more surfaces easily.
i like behr, i love the color selection, and its smoothe.
Behr...very superior. I used it myself.
I rather use Behr
behr is way better

What's that one song off of that Home Depot/Glidden Paints commercial?
It's the new Home Depot commercial, featuring Glidden paints in official team colors. It's like a whistling song with piano. Can you give the Artist name and Title of song?What's that one song off of that Home Depot/Glidden Paints commercial?
I'm betting it's something they made up just for that commercial.

Which would you pick for exterior paint... Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore or Glidden?
Used for Exterior house paintWhich would you pick for exterior paint... Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore or Glidden?
I like Behr the best. An excellent, thick paint. **Note: NO brand of paint will last without proper preparation. Remove any rotted wood. Scrape, sand, prime first. Also, darker colors in direct sun tend to not last as long, due to heat absorption.Which would you pick for exterior paint... Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore or Glidden?
I have painted for 20yrs and Sherwin Williams is the best paint for the money. They have a huge range of quality paints at prices that accommodate your budget. The problem with Behr is it has one level of quality and one price. Very generic.
Behr paint, available at Home Depot is great paint for the money. My husband is a remodeler and uses it all the time. Others mentioned are also good. Sherwin Williams is grossly expensive.
There is also a new line of paint available at Menard's...also very good and great price!
sherwin williams. They donated a bunch of paint to repaint the outside of my major's department at my school and it looks really nice.
You cannot go wrong with any of those brands' top of the line product.
thanks buff, it looks like i'll go with bher paints
