What Brand Paint has Best Coverage? Painters

Figuring out what brand of paint has best coverage is important when budgeting a home renovation, and eventually choosing paint color and brand. Is it worth paying more money for a brand of paint that will work in just one coat or is it better to buy a cheaper brand that requires multiple coats? This all depends on the time you want to spend on the room, as well as the look you want to achieve. This article reviews six popular brands of paint and evaluates how they measure up in regard to coverage.

Popular Paint Brands

Benjamin Moore/Duron – Very high quality although more expensive than other brands. Generally worth the cost as only one coat is usually needed and it covers up dark colors well.

Sherwin Williams – Sherwin Williams is a high quality brand, but requires multiple coats and primer to get the exact color on the paint chip. For additional help, check out Sherwin Williams’ paint color selection helper.

Pratt and Lambert  High quality brand, but also requires multiple coats and primer to match color swatch.

Ralph Lauren – Good color selection with high quality. Higher costs for the color selection and quality.

Valspar – Less expensive than the higher quality paints and generally needs more than one coat to cover dark spots.

Behr – Generally thinner and requires more than one coat over darker colors. Overall, good quality paint with medium price.
