What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the paint for accurate colors, smooth application, and excellent value. Most highlight strong coverage and a durable finish, with many noting it works beautifully on walls, trim, and challenging surfaces. The low odor and easy water-based cleanup are frequently praised. However, many report the one-coat claim is misleading, requiring two or three coats for full opacity, especially over dark colors. Despite this coverage inconsistency, most customers consider it a worthwhile purchase and would buy again.

Bad quality
Would Not RecommendBad quality. Did not cover tan primer currently on the way. I needed three coats and it still dones look good. I should have gone to Sherwin Williams and spent more on paint for a better quality.

Talk to a Pro about what Paint Brand they use!
Would Not RecommendWell "One Coat Coverage" is false! I really didn't expect it to be. But, after putting on a second coat, I could still see where I had painted. And, I was painting White, over White, on previously painted sheetrock walls! I tried different Roller Covers and different Brushes, and even Paint Pads! It's like trying to paint a sponge! At 50 bucks a gallon I expect more!

Not for Cabinets?
Other Q/As suggest that Ovation Plus (semi-gloss) is not recommended for cabinets. Why does Good Housekeeping state otherwise? It's listed as THE best zero-voc cabinet paint. Sand, clean, prime, paint, and cure - working great for us! https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home-products/g38831276/best-paint-for-cabinets/
