Excellent Coverage
Would RecommendApplies and cleans easy and it covered many imperfections in the stained areas on the wood. I highly recommend this paint which we used for the inside of our pop up camper.

Big timesaver ! Just one coat, let dry, repaint and it looks like a million bucks! I’m currently repainting all my inside brown doors to white. Easy, just use a 9/16” roller for your finish paint color and you’ll have no regrets.

Best primer
Would RecommendThis is the best primer we have used. It only needs a lite coat over finished wood trim or cabinets before painting. Cleanup is difficult, so I used a brush I can throw away afterwards.

Great coverage
Would RecommendThis product was easy to get full coverage as it is pretty thick and in my application it covered water marks in my garage very well in 1 coat. Wouldnt recommend using it anywhere you can easily air out for a decent amount of time as the smell sticks around for a while and is kinda strong. Definitely recommend!
