    I love the Sears brand. It goes on with only one coat. If you don't like the color they take the return without an issue.

    Quality is very important-you spend a little more, but quality cuts down on coats!

    In every brand of paint you can find the color you need the quality is most important. I have used paint that was a preety color but horrible paint. recently I went with a well know brand and the quality was very good, You want a paint that will cover the first time and stay clean looking othe paints can look shadowiy and may look like you have oil stains on your wall

    Quality is very important to me, all the work it takes to actually paint, I don't need it to chip off if something hits the wall!!

    I found out that you actually use less Quality paint then you do if you get a bargain brand

    I'd look for the right color in quality paint. It lasts longer, has better coverage so it's better value in the long run.

    I tend to pick by color and by price. I did not think there was a huge difference in quality amoung brands until I bought a poor quality (store brand) stain and it was worn off the wood with in a very short time. It then looked a mess and I felt like it had been a waste of time and energy on my part. After that experience I think I may begin placing more importance on quality!

    We only buy Sherwin Williams brand in our house. My husband owned a painting company for years and found that their product held up the best.
