so it comes to painting the inside of
your home there are a lot of things to
consider in prices definitely a factor
where today we're gonna be testing 11
different types of paint some of them
costing four times more than the least
expensive paint and we're going to see
if price really makes a difference in
performance so let's get the testing
underway and see which brand is the best
all 11 paints that we'll be testing our
flat interior latex paints we'll see
which product does the best at painting
over stains will also see which is best
for painting wood paneling we're also
gonna see just how good these paints are
at stain resistance and cleanability and
the first test will be seeing which
paint has the best one coat coverage
we'll see which paint can do the best
job painting over these dark green
stripes to make a solid flat light
finish the least expensive paint we'll
be testing is this Valspar Pro Express

fossil Soviet Menard is this Dutch boy
forever paint costing $29.98 it comes

blocking technology advanced washability
and stain resistant my original tip was
to test flat white paint and
unfortunately I grabbed the wrong type
of paint with Nautica and I just decided
to try to roll with it to see how it
would work and it's definitely not going
to work for the purposes of this video
some of throwing all the testing results

ready to give these paints a couple
hours to cure and when we come back and
take a closer look at each one of them
it's been 24 hours since I applied these
paints so let's take a closer look at
each one of them Valspar Pro is the
least expensive paint and you can see a
lot of the dark color paint underneath
it did not do a very good job with a one
coat coverage the Walmart brand color
plates actually did quite a bit better
than Valspar Pro as you can see it did
have quite a few areas where it didn't
quite provide a good one coat coverage
but when you consider the price the
paint it actually did fairly well good
and premium actually did quite well for
a budget paint when you consider the
difference between Glidden premium and
counter plays you can see there's a lot
better coverage
pittsburg paint is a little bit more
expensive than Glidden premium and it
also seems to have done a little bit
better job you can still see a little
bit of a shadow underneath the paint but
it's not quite as bad as a Glidden
premium that's why did a respectable job
it doesn't seem to have done nearly as
well as Pittsburgh at covering up the
dark paint PPG time most definitely did
a better job than everything to the left
with that said there's still a little
bit of shadowing and the coverage isn't
quite as good as some of the brands were
about to look at Valspar signature
definitely had slightly better coverage
than PPG timeless and there's a little
bit less shadowing the HGTV home did not
seem to do quite as well as the Valspar
signature
coverage and you can see a little bit
more shadowing with pain the performance
between the Behr marquee and the Valspar
signature I would call it a tie
both of these paints did extremely well
the only thing I don't like about the
Behr marquee is it reminded me of Lucas
heavy-duty oil stabilizer this stuff is
extremely sticky and thick and it goes
on very heavy however it does provide an
incredible job as far as one coat
coverage this emerald paint really
surprised me at just how good it is what
surprised me the most is this paint
doesn't have a very high viscosity
compared to Bayer marquee but if you
look at the surface it seems to have
done a better job with one coat coverage
coming at first is emerald Valspar
signature and Behr marquee tied for
second PPG timeless forth and HGTV fifth
well it's not good practice to apply
paint to wood paneling that has not been
primed we're going to do so to test the
ability of these paints to deliver one
coat coverage while also preventing
yellow bleed through from the wood
paneling oftentimes the stains used in
this wood paneling will bleed through
the paint and leave the paint with a
very yellow appearance looking to see
how well these products did as far as
one coat coverage and we're also looking
for yellowing just like we saw before
Valspar Pro didn't seem to do a very
good job as far as one coat coverage
however there's not too much yellowing
compared to some of the other brands
color play seems to have done quite a
bit better than Valspar Pro as far as
the one coat coverage however there is a
little bit of yellowing that's taking
place color place and Glidden are very
evenly matched they both seem to be
about the same there does seem to be a
little bit more yellowing with color
place than ER does with the Glidden
Pittsburg definitely did a better job
with one coat coverage than Glidden
however there does appear to be more of
a yellow appearance to it than there
does with the Glidden for win code
coverage Pittsburgh scenes may be
slightly better than Dutch boy they both
did pretty good job but there's
definitely a little bit more yellowing
with Dutch boy than there is with
Pittsburgh PPG timeless did a great job
as far as one coat coverage but that
does seem to be quite a bit of yellowing
to this would bounce parks signature
seams have done a better job at one coat
coverage than PPG timeless and also
there just isn't that much yellow tint
to it Shirley Williams didn't do quite
as good as Valspar signature as far as
one coat coverage and there's a little
bit more of a yellow tint to the paint
Behr marquee did a great job as far as
one coat coverage as well
there is a little bit more yellowing
though than there is with the Valspar
signature
so I'd say Valspar signature seems
slightly better than the Behr marquee
emerald definitely did the best of all
the paints we've tested as far as one
coat coverage and there's definitely
less yellowing than any of the other
brands
once again emerald came in first Valspar
signature second Behr marquee third PPG
timeless fourth an HGTV fifth most of
these paints claim that they are
excellent at staying coverage we'll see
how well these products do at covering
up crayon stains let's see how well
these paints perform covering up a
permanent marker stain if you have kids
a HUD's are you gonna end up with a
little bit of ketchup and mustard on the
walls let's see how these paints do at
covering up a grease stain it's been
about five minutes since I applied these
stains let's see if we can get them off
we allow this wall to dry out we'll come
back to this later in the video the
stain from the crayon shouldn't be too
challenging for these paints but the
permanent marker is definitely going to
put these paints to the test a permanent
marker and the crayon stains proved to
be a very challenging task for the
Valspar Pro it's pretty easy to see the
crayon stains as well as a permanent
marker from perfect but still Conner
place did a lot better job than Valspar
Pro at covering up the permanent marker
kind of place definitely a better job at
covering up the permanent marker than
glidden premium kind of place actually
did better than Pittsburgh at covering
up this permanent markers stain however
Pittsburgh definitely did better than
Glidden premium and fast bar Pro it's
very close between Pittsburgh and Dutch
boy but looks like Dutch boy may have
edged out Pittsburgh by a little bit on
this permanent marker stain however
color play seems to have done better
than both of these two brands PPG
timeless and the other premium paints
definitely outperformed all of the less
expensive paints with that said PPG
timeless did a great job of covering up
the permanent marker stain was still
visible it actually seems better than
color place and the rest of the less
expensive brands PPG timeless actually
looks a little bit better than Valspar
signature but again Valspar signature
did a pretty good job it's very close
between Valspar signature and show winds
but I think Valspar signature edged to
outshine Williams PPG timeless Valspar
signature and shin williams all seem to
have done slightly better than Behr
marquee at covering up this permanent
marker stain emerald definitely seems to
have won this showdown once again this
is a very good job of coming up this
permanent marker stain while there's
still a shadow there it definitely beat
all the other brands emerald came in
first
PPG timeless second Valspar signature
third HGTV fourth & Behr marquee fifth
the test for stain and brazing
resistance will apply each paint to a
properly primed piece of drywall
allow it to cure for several days and
we'll do some testing with it later in
the video we'll see just how scuff
resistant each of these paint brands are
I'm attached a shoe to this PVC pipe and
there's five pounds of way to test I'm
gonna drag to heal this shoe across each
one of the paints and we'll see how they
perform
[Music]
next up we'll test crayon permanent
marker have a little bit of mustard have
a towel wrapped around a five-pound
weight and the weight is connected to
this PVC pipe I'll be running this towel
across the shoe scuff to see how much of
it comes up off the paint and see how
much staining was left behind
[Music]
now Smart Pro seams have done slightly
better than Qatar place on the shoe
scuff test gluta and premium definitely
did better than color place but
Pittsburgh did a really good job in this
test in fact I would say this is one of
the top brands we've tested as far as
resisting shoe scuff that sport also did
very well but not quite as good as
Pittsburgh PPG time was actually did
fairly well but not quite as good as
Pittsburgh and I was really surprised
that Valspar signature didn't do a
little bit better in this test
definitely PPG timeless is better than
Valspar signature hgtv did about the
same as Valspar signature quite a bit of
scuffing look at Behr marquee very good
job in fact Behr marquee took the top
position as far as the shoe scuff
challenge emerald I would say is
probably second Behr marquee came in
first
emerald second Pittsburgh third PPG
timeless forth and Valspar signature v
apply an all-purpose cleaner each one of
the paint strips and then I'll use five
pounds on top of this towel to apply
very light pressure to see just how
easily these stains come out at first
glance the Valspar pro looks really good
but upon a closer look paint actually
washed away not just a marker stain
unfortunately color place did not do
very good quite a bit of mustard stain
left the marker did not go anywhere
still quite a bit of crayon stain and
the scuff Glidden premium definitely did
but it in color place as you could see a
little bit less mustard stain some of
the marker was started to come off
there's still quite a bit of crayon
staining and a little bit of scuff left
Pittsburgh did remarkably well most of
the mustard stain is gone and the scuff
mark is gone as well obviously quite a
bit of crayon left as well as permanent
marker that's why did a pretty good job
as well there is a little bit more
mustard staining compared to Pittsburgh
but the amount of crayon seems to be
fairly close maybe a little bit less
with Dutch boy and of course the
scuffing has been removed from PPG time
us all with the right all the paint's
seem to do a pretty good job
PPG timeless didn't do quite as well as
Valspar signature as far as the removal
of the crayon stain also the amount of
mustard staining seems to be about the
same between the two brands HEV v has a
little bit more mustard staining than
Valspar signature and the PPG timeless
bear mark he did a terrific job there
isn't any more scuffing and
most of the purple is gone even some of
the permanent marker stains been removed
there's still a little bit of mustard
staining but overall a very good job
sherwin-williams emerald seems to have
done the best most that purple is gone
no more scuffing the permanent marker
actually started to come off and there
just isn't that much mustard stain left
emeraude came in first Behr marquee
second Valspar signature third PPG
timeless fourth an HGTV fifth taking
into account the average score for all
five tests emerald won by quite a large
margin with Behr barely edging out
Valspar signature while HGTV did beat
out Pittsburgh Pittsburgh is also much
less per gallon than HDTV and performed
nearly as well
Pittsburgh also proved to be a better
paint than Dutch boy forever if you're
loaded with cash you got to go with the
sherwin-williams
emerald it is a really good paint I'm
really surprised at just how well it did
now if you're willing to pay a little
bit less than that and still looking for
a really high quality paint I highly
recommend both the bear as well as the
Valspar signature those are both really
really good paints now if you're looking
for something about half the price a
very good value paint and a pretty good
performer is the pittsburgh paint hey
