What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this paint for exceptional mold and mildew resistance, particularly in bathrooms and high-moisture areas, with many reporting no recurrence for over 15 years. The outstanding coverage requires only one coat, goes on smoothly, and acts as primer, sealer, and stain blocker combined. The semi-gloss finish is durable, easy to wipe clean, and retains appearance over time. A few note the consistency feels thin, but this concern is vastly outweighed by positive feedback. Most customers consider it a trusted, long-lasting solution worth repurchasing.

Bought a 5 gallon bucket of a different brand but this brand covers much better. Even for new Sheetrock which soaks up a lot of paint.
