KILZ TRIBUTE Paint & Primer, Interior, Matte, True Teal, 1 Gallon

After having all new floors installed, we decided to update the paint we had applied 20 years ago when we moved in. We saved this room for last because we were both apprehensive about how many coats it was going to take to fully cover that red. The Kilz reputation led me to this paint, and I really was bummed when I learned that Amazon is the sole source for their "Tribute" line. Not that I have anything against Amazon, I order from here nearly every week (sometimes several times a week). I just felt it was very risky buying paint- it's heavy and if it were to come open during shipping, it could be something akin to a disaster. Before I select a paint, I have always painted a section of foam core board so I can check multiple locations in differing lights to be sure of the color prior to putting it on the wall(s). Of course, samples were "unavailable" in the colors I was most interested in. After debating for almost 2 weeks, I went ahead and took the chance on the one I thought was my favorite. I ordered 2/25, it was delivered 2/25 in perfect condition. WHEW!Now for the really good news; this paint goes on like a dream, gives excellent coverage (even on the red), and dried to exactly the color I expected. The only prep (other than taping off NO PAINT zones) was brushing the walls with a broom and then filling nail holes with DAP Spackling Compound. We didn't sand the surface, which was previously a satin sheen, and had absolutely no problem with this paint adhering. ONE COAT COVERAGE!! I'm not kidding, folks. Before and After photos are included with my review.

Love the color and how far the paint went. Great price and arrived 3 days earlier than expected!

The subject line says it all... Color integrity remains even after curing. I used on furniture (which is normally not advisable, due to a lack of durability with anything more high traffic than an interior wall, but I countered this with a few coats of polycrylic... it's still not nearly as durable as paint INTENDED for furniture would be, but it cost me a fraction as much - and as long as I'm not rough with it, it hasn't been an issue).The opacity is seriously outstanding; I was blown away. And you can't beat the price. I wish I had known about this brand before painting my interior walls; could've saved myself time and money.

Let me first say I love this paint and I’d buy it again in a heartbeat And I’m guessing you’re not going to be nit-picky about exact colors or you wouldn’t be searching for paint online. I’m just trying to give you information I wish I had had before picking Misty Morning for my bathroom. On my computer screen, Misty Morning appears to be a green/gray/blue, like Sherwin Williams Sea Salt, which is what I wanted but I didn’t want to drive all the way to Sherwin Williams. It’s not the paint’s fault that it’s not the color I thought I was getting. Computer screens can trick you. But there is no green in this color, nor would I say it has much gray in it. It’s a really pretty Robin’s Egg Blue. I could easily see this color in a baby’s room, for either a boy or girl.The paint itself is a dream to work with. It only took one coat to cover our white textured wallpaper. It went on smooth and doesn’t stink. I did have some windows in the house open because it’s a beautiful fall day, but I didn’t get a headache at all while painting, and I don’t think you’d have to have a lot of ventilation when you’re painting. It also was pretty easy to clean off my brushes, which was surprising. I can’t attest to durability because it’s not even dry yet, so time will tell. But I would definitely recommend this paint, and if you’re looking for a perfect Robin’s Egg Blue, try Misty Morning!

Paint goes on smooth and covers very well. We have a historic home built in 1867. The walls are far from perfect...this pain disquises a lot of flaws!! Highly recommended!!!

I ordered the high tide sample to paint a door. I was able to do 2 coats and a touch up with half of the sample left over. The color is exactly what I wanted, recommend this paint to everyone!

I bought this paint to paint the legs of my kitchen table. It was the perfect color match. I didn't think it was gonna be enough to get the job done but this paint goes a long ways. Goes on smoothly.

It looks like no color was added. It is supposed to be blue. Not a pale, one can barely tell hint of blue - but - BLUE.Not happy. And now I have to jump through hoops to get a refund or the product I want.0/10 do not recommend.
