STAINMASTER Graphite Paint Project Kit

Master your stain

With a brand name of “Stainmaster,” you expect it to have strong stain-blocking qualities. However, if you’re painting over dark-stained wood, you will still need to use a primer or lay on multiple coats of this product. My application was a room in my basement that’s the last room in the house where I haven’t painted or replaced the dark-stained crown. This room is pretty rough and I intend to patch and paint the walls and ceiling later, so I wasn’t too picky with masking when painting this mou...

An easy to work with paint

This paint performed fairly well for me. I used it to paint a bathroom. I had to do some fairly extensive patching, including replacing drywall tape over a 2 foot section and repairing a pretty significant crack, using mesh tape with drywall mud over it. I used this paint to prime those places before rolling the walls with a 3/8 inch nap roller. When it was done, you could not tell that the patches were there, so the primer part of this paint worked well. The paint was not thick and was eas...

Excellent sample bottle!

Great sample bottle to test color on wall before buying a gallon pail. We purchased a few of these and were glad we did as the colors dried over our existing color a different tint than shown in the cards at the store.

Great Quality Paint

The Stainmaster Performance paint & primer is definitely worth purchasing. I am very impressed with this paint for numerous reasons. In the near future I plan on painting a small office and the cinder block walls in my garage. For this review I wanted to show how this product will work on numerous surfaces and the versatility of this paint. Attached are pictures of (dry wall, variety of moldings, cinder block and a cabinet). These pictures are showing how well this paint covers while leavin...

Wow - terrific paint!

This is a high quality, tintable, stain resistant paint. I used the Ultra White Satin Interior on several projects around my house. It was used mainly as a primer and cover-up. The paint was thick before and after stirring - which is a plus, as I have found many paints thin out quite a bit after stirring. This did not. I used it on multiple surfaces. It was used on a textured wall in my laundry room to cover up water stains. I also used it on the interior of my metal front door, and on wooden ba...

Like spreading glue on my walls

This paint is crap. I'm wondering if we got a couple of cans that were 10 years old. I should have brought it back because I could see how bad it was in the first couple of feet but didn't want to believe it cauld be that bad. I probably would have been better off using those little craft tubes of acrylic paint. I'm super frustrated and won't buy paint at Lowe's again.

Good quality product

The STAINMASTER Performance Satin Stain Resistant Interior Paint + Primer can be used as is or tinted. This paint has a medium oder and contains silica, ventilation is recommended. The paint can be applied with a brush, roller or airless sprayer without thinning. I did find the paint to have a in yhe middle consistency (not too thin or too thick). Using a Purdy 2.5" semi-rigide brush worked well, no paint dripped from the brush. This paint takes approximately 1hr to dry depending on the ambient...

One coat coverage, even on tough surfaces.

I needed to repaint a garage stairway that had both cinder block and wall board surfaces. There were cracks and patches that needed to be painted and I wanted a durable paint that went on easily. This Stationmaster paint fit the bill perfectly. The paint was thick at around 50 degree December temps, but it loaded onto my brush and roller really well. The biggest surprise for me was the excellent coverage. I had a dark concrete patch that I covered with white in one coat. Color me impressed! The...

Nice quality paint with nice thickness

I like that this paint is primer and paint all in one. I like that it also has stain-resistant qualities, but since I just painted I can't comment on that yet. Since I got the Satin finish, I decided to try the paint out on a door (since Stainmaster states it can be used on interior doors), before tackling a full room. I liked the thickness of the paint, and how well it stayed on the brush. Brushes easily. The door did require two coats for the best finish. Clean-up was easy with soap and water....
