Would Not RecommendI recommend reading all reviews before purchasing this product. The paint started peeling off the ceiling four to five hours after application.
Great ceiling paint
Would RecommendI love the color changing ceiling paints, since I struggle to see coverage overhead with flat paints. Honestly had near perfect coverage in just one coat.

Does not live up to the Zinsser Name
Would Not RecommendI have used Zinsser products in the past and with great results. When I decided to use this product for a ceiling that had a water spot caused by a leak, I thought of this product. Well I can say after 3 coats I still can see the stain!! While it's not as bad as before but it did not hide the stain! Not impressed by this product at all, I will have to move on to another product, very disappointed.

Horrible Product
Would Not RecommendThis paint is horrible, DO NOT BUY IT! I wish I had taken the five minutes to read the reviews. I was in a rush to get a mold & mildew resistant paint for our master bathroom. Post painting the ceiling we took a week before we started using the bathroom again, the paint had plenty of time to cure. Immediately after showering the ceiling is filled with pink droplets and spots, its like the pink chemical reactivates anytime it comes in contact with moisture. The entire point of using a mildew...

Worst paint I've used
Would Not RecommendThis paint is terrible. I thought the bad reviews were mostly from people who painted ceilings in wet areas, but no. There are little clumps of paint right out of the can. I was pulling little dried paint chips off the ceiling as I went (if I happened to see them). Finish quality and coverage is also really terrible (I needed 2+ coats to cover over an already white ceiling). I got this to avoid having to do a mold killing primer and two coats of paint, and I would have rather done that over thi...

Excellent 2 in 1 with high hiding ability
Would RecommendI was very pleased with the results, especially after having a terrible experience with a different top ceiling paint brand. This formula not only did an exceptional job hiding the staining from an earlier water leak, but also produced an even/high quality finish that is among the best I’ve seen. I also found the consistency to be perfect and ‘pink to white’ color change ability very helpful in ensuring adequate coverage. There is a manageable odor to it as described in some other reviews, bu...
