Not for bathrooms

Would Not Recommend

Judging by the description, you would assume this product would be great for bathroom ceilings. Nope. Looked fine until showering, but now I'm left with a polka dotted ceiling. Don't waste your time and money.

Not Enough Color Changing Tint

Would Not Recommend

Have used this product previously on several occasions with good results. This time bought several cans (with different lot numbers on lid) and am disappointed that the pink tint is so faint as to be of no use. When you first open the can you can see a small amount of purple liquid suspended on top of the paint. Thorough stirring did mix the contents to a barely visible pink. When applied to the surface of what was being painted the color was so faint that it was not helpful at all. Previou...

Not for bathroom ceilings!

Would Not Recommend

Should’ve read the reviews before purchasing. It’s worked on other rooms no issues, but the bathroom is a BIG NO! About a few days after painting the ceiling, pink spots started to appear during/after showering. Well, at first they’d disappear but fast forward one week and these weird colored spots from the paint are permanent. This is just one spot, but it’s the entire ceiling! Now, I have to find another ceiling paint that will hopefully cover and prevent these pink spots from coming through w...

covers well and easy to see what you painted

Would Recommend

Our spring cleaning started in Jan 2020. We painted several rooms and I convinced my hubby to get this ceiling paint. Now that he has used it, he loves that it is clear to see where he painted and is less likely to miss a spot. Works like a charm and the stain blocking is a nice to have too! Goes on smooth with a slight pink hue that dries white. It was worth it!

Ceiling paint

Would Recommend

This paint starts out lavender and dries bright white. The lavender is really light so it is still a little tricky to see where you have already painted, but the end results are awesome

Color change is helpful

Would Recommend

The color change technology is very helpful, but you have to be very systematic about your application. It gives you a good idea of your coverage until it is dry, which was pretty quick. I didn’t give it 5 stars because it didn’t cover completely in one coat as it says it will. After it was dry there were areas that needed a second coat. W it’s the second coat it was good coverage.

Game Changer

Would Recommend

Painting ceilings are hard. This paint made it much easier. It covered a stain well in just one coat and we could be sure we didn't miss anything.

great paint for the money

Would Recommend

For a ceiling paint that is on the cheaper side, it works great. I had old water marks on my bedroom ceiling. I did 2 to 3 coats at spots because some were darker than others. After it dried you could never tell they were there. goes on a light pink and dried a crisp, clean white. This paint was around $25 compared to $35-$40 dollar products it was well worth it. some of the other brands of higher cost paint don't actually hide stains that well. they are pretty transparent and you see most of th...

Thin and runny

Would Not Recommend

The paint went on okay, it needed a second coat in most areas. It was thin and extremely drippy. I only recommend this if you're trying to save money. It works, but not great. I also painted over a ceiling that hadn't been painted in over 10 years. It gives a good, clean white look though.
