Paint question

Actually two questions...

1. What brand of paint do you recommend?

2. Does anyone know the approximate price of a gallon of Benjamin Moore vs. Behr's lets say?

We are moving into our new house by October and are basically painting every room, so I don't want the price getting out of hand, but yet want a good paint job.

Thanks in advance!!

Re: Paint question

I've seen a lot of posts regarding this topic and everyone has a different opinion but...with that being said imo, I prefer Benjamin Moore. It definitely costs more, but I felt like it was easier to paint with. We did one room in Behrs and it was a nightmare, it will be repainted anyway to become the nursery and we are using BM again.

Re: Paint question

I use both BM and Behr. I thought Behr wasn't going to be good, but I just did the baby's room in Behr and it came out great. Maybe it's the level of each paint that you buy. You know how some have a cheaper version or the more expensive? I know BM has that too. If you use the cheaper BM version it doesn't work as nicely either.

Re: Paint question

there are a bunch of posts on the LIW home board abotu the different brands... i have heard positive and negative arguements about each brand... we are about to move into our house and was thinking of doing one room at a time and trying both brands... i feel like paint is paint... but who knows if that is really true.... also, sometimes paint can differ based on the color pigments that are in it...

IMO, the Lowe's brand of paint, American Tradition, is far better than Behr's or BM. I do not like Behr's at all. I did use BM garrison red in my dining room and I was happy with the results. But the rest of my house is in AMerican Tradition by Lowe's and I really like that paint.
