My first Emerald exterior | Professional Painting Contractors Forum
May 25, 2012 - I used it because it was demoed to me for free, but I wouldn't pay 70/gallon for it. In the higher end paint spectrum, I'd rather use Aura which is similar quality, but better price.

Is Sherwin Williams Emerald paint (their most expensive) worth buying? Suggestions on all things painting I need
Yes, worth it. Same with Benjamin Moore’s top end, Aura. I’m the family member that everyone calls when they want painting done, I will push people to use one of those two brands and to use their top shelf products, they make a difference. Typically you go with egg shell finish on walls, semi-gloss or satin on trim, and matte on ceilings. Get something like Aura bath and spa for high humidity rooms like bathrooms and use satin or egg shell on bathroom ceilings, and make sure you leave the fan on for 20 mins after you’re done showering to help keep the ceiling free from mold. If you have low natural light and you want to brighten up the room up stay north of 60 LRV. But if it has plenty of natural light you can do what you like. But most interior designers like neutral colors in the 55-75 range. Use frog tape, it’s the best painters tape. I like purdy brushes and rollers. More on reddit.com

My painter wants $400 more if I want SW Emerald. They use superpaint. Is it worth it?
Assuming a satin finish: If you want washability, mould and moisture resistance, and ease of future touch up (Emerald is available in quarts while Superpaint is not), then it is worth the upgrade. The painter has his own profit margin and it costs him more to buy Emerald than it would Superpaint. In my experience a gallon Emerald is $25-$35 more expensive compared to Superpaint, and that is at the painter’s contractor price. I’m probably overestimating a little bit, but for two coats let’s say it takes 10 gallons of paint for everything you need done. 10 x $35 = $350 plus applicable taxes. So the painter’s math is correct. More on reddit.com

Sherwin Williams super paint or emerald for exterior
planning to live there for awhile? emerald is certainly worth it. the majority of the cost of a paint job is labor so might as well go with the best you can get. will last longer too which will delay having to pay to repaint More on reddit.com

October 21, 2012 - Emerald, seems to be the paint SW wanted Duration to be, but isnt... In my experience, Em, doesnt cover as well as Duration. Brushes out nice, rolls nice... but doesnt cover like Duration. Its self levelling properties are way above duration esp if your used to using thinner paints... However I just did a 30 window... job, exterior, brush and roll... and Honestly, I wish I had either gone with Duration, or Ben Moore Aura... for the price of Emerald, Aura, in MY opinion is a MUCH better product...

r/DIY on Reddit: Is Sherwin Williams Emerald paint (their most expensive) worth buying? Suggestions on all things painting I need
April 14, 2024 -

I am new to painting and am going to be painting pretty much every room. I bought a really nice spray painted - other than that any help or suggestions you wouldn't mind sharing would be great.

SW emerald is $80/gallon but will be 40% on Friday. Is the paint worth the high cost? I don't mind paying for quality.

The paint I would like to find would be the most durable, most cleanable and easiest to put on (multi dog home) and newbie painter. If the two durability and cleaning are first.

Please help, I have been avoiding doing this for 2 years, but I cannot stand to look at these beige walls any longer

If you have any videos to share that will help, that would be great

Thanks a million

r/paint on Reddit: I am not impressed with Sherwin Williams Emerald
June 14, 2023 -

I’m not a painter by trade but I do quite a bit of painting at my house. I’ve mostly use Behr and have tried all of their products.

For semi gloss white trim paint (interior and exterior), I use Behr premium plus or ultra. It seems to hold up well but often requires 2 coats. For my interior walls, I use Behr marquee. I painted my old dehydrated pee colored walls an off white, and it covered with one coat no problem, and it has great washability. I recently tried Behr dynasty on some often used stools/step stools. I am very impressed. One coat of red paint was all it took to give them an even, durable finish that hasn’t shown any signs of wear for over 8 months.

I’m now painting the exterior of my house. SW had a sale so I figured I’d splurge on the Emerald. While it’s not terrible, it definitely isnt the best paint I’ve ever used. It takes multiple coate, and it shows brush strokes worse than Behr.

I think I will stick with Behr next time.
