"Breast brand"? Followed by Mistress's avatar? What are you trying to say?

I've been satisfied with Behr's coverage and durability (Home Depot). I was a bit disappointed with the coverage on the Lowe's re-branded paint (American Traditions, I think). It was okay, but I needed multiple coats to get it even.

If you're re-painting from the original contractor-grade knockdown texture and flat wall paint from relatively new(ish) construction be prepared for the surface to suck in the paint and the colors to be uneven on the first coat. Plan on at least two coats to get a good even color.

If you're changing colors and willing to live with a little patch work color for a week or so, I recommend getting the small "sample" bottles and painting a 2x2 section of your wall to see how it looks in different lights.
