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.
