What Customers Are Saying

The Ovation Plus Flat Interior Paint generally provides good coverage, requiring only 1-2 coats for most users. The flat finish helps hide imperfections well. However, some customers found the coverage lacking, needing 3-4 coats, especially over darker colors. The paint applies smoothly and evenly with minimal dripping or spattering. Many appreciate the low odor and zero VOC formulation. Color matching can be inconsistent, with the final color sometimes differing from expectations. Overall, the paint offers good value and performance for most users, though a few experienced issues with coverage and consistency.

Not good coverage

Would Not Recommend

Drips runs too thin. Spend a little more and get good coverage.

Coverage wasn't as good as expected. It needs a second coat, so be ready for it.

Chunks in brand new sealed 5 gallon bucket

The think I like the least is there were chunks in the 5 gallon egg shell which I got from Lowe’s. It does have pretty good coverage. These are photos of one coat over dark purple and black. Not a one coat job, but probably 2 or 3. Product is really thin for having great coverage

Never Again

Would Not Recommend

Never had to paint over a white wall with 3 coats of paint. Especially with a very dark color that we picked. If you barely bump the wall it scratches very easy so make sure you have extra for touch ups. Also, I learned to not let my wife buy paint. She picks the cheapest that makes for triple work.

Not What Expected

The consistency of the paint once applied is weak. Definitely needs two coats.

The paint color was gray not purple. Gray is what I wanted. I have received a lot of compliments on the color.

Great for newly primed drywall surfaces

This product is absolutely fabulous for new primed drywall, but not as good as other paints I have used to repaint already painted surfaces. It does an adequate job on painted surfaces for sure, but just do not be surprised if you have both new and older surfaces to paint and you notice a difference.

Paint covered in one coat and looks great. I will definitely use Ovation again.

Trust the process!

Would Recommend

Have had phenomenal 1 coat coverage with this paint! Pure White over a "buy me beige!" color on the walls. You definitely need to trust the process and let the self leveling do it's thing before going back over spots while it's drying. My trick is to do 1 coat and walk away and let it dry. Then come back and fix the light spots. Glad it has zero VOC! The smell still gets to me but I'm extremely sensitive to it. Opening some windows is the perfect solution! I would highly recommend this line of p...

False Claims

Would Not Recommend

This product does not live up to the marketing claims. There is no way this is an "all in one" primer and paint. And no way that "one coat" coverage. For a basic repaint of a room, now working on 3 - 4 coats just to get consistent coverage. As you can imagine, planning usage for this product is next to impossible. Should I have known this in advance, would have purchased a different product but as I am half way through, just easier to get in over with. Buyer beware!
