You Get What You Pay For When It Comes to Paint

As a student and homeowner I was thrilled when I recently came across a great deal on " bargain brand"  yellow paint for my entrance hallway.  Only to find, that once I actually started  my half a day project, that I needed several cans and it took me two days to get the color to look right after so many layers.  I learned the hard way that all bargain paints are not made equal.

"Ultimately, the suggestion is to go ahead and pick up the higher quality paint because you'll need less of it to get a good, even coat on your walls, which saves you time and saves you money in the long run. No one wants to go back to the hardware store and buy another can just to even out the coat, or because the color isn't quite right. Granted, there's probably a drop off between moderate and premium brands as well, so we'd suggest sticking with well-known brands, most of which have multiple lines to accommodate any budget."
