Interior paints

If you sell a house within 24 hrs of listing, you had it severely under-priced. You prolly cheated yourself out of $20,000 or more.

Yep. I've been using BMoore for a couple of decades. It's well worth the extra money just in ease of application. It takes me a few hours to go through a gallon of paint. The extra $5 or $10 is cheap. Every time I try a different brand I kick myself (which I'll probably do again tomorrow - going to give the Behr self-priming a try in the garage).

Well, for interior water-cleanup only excluding ceiling, bath and kitchen, tint-base and floor-specific products there are 16 interior paint product listings for B-M. This doesn't include the myriad of finishes, etc., etc., within each product line.

So, yes, they have a full range of products to cover the market and price points. As with all manufacturers, just because it says a particular brand on the label doesn't mean a whole lot as far as what the contents are.

I'll reiterate the previous...it will mostly depend on using a similarly-targeted price point paint over the brand on the can.

If you go cheap Behr and try to claim that it's a bad paint and all Behr is bad in comparison to the B-M better levels it's just not a level-playing field.

Unfortunately, in such discussions as this, generally all that comes out is some knee-jerk reaction to a brand name without the qualification of which product in that line or comparison to another in another line.

I've even seen such indiscriminate mixing in Consumer Reports testing w/o their mentioning that not all of the tested paints were of the same general quality range/price.

Not in my experience. BM was *far* superior to everything I'd used before, at a similar price point.

...at the same price point.

I wouldn't bother with CR as parakeet cage lining.

It's obviously a statistical distribution situation. With houses listed at a fair price there is an average time it takes to sell and a distribution. A few of those will sell very fast, a few will take a long time. Just because someone happens to have one that sold in a day doesn't necessarily mean it's priced too low. It could be just the right buyer came buy the first day.

In many cases it's better to have the house fairly priced from the start, rather than start out high, follow the market down and never sell it. A local spec builder has been doing that for years. He prices his new houses too high, then after a year he lowers it 10%. He's been doing that for 4 or 5 years now. Problem is, he's always behind the market. Had he priced it

I've always used ceiling paint for ceilings. And if you look at Benjamin Moore Regal, I didn't see any difference in the thickness of their wall paint versus the ceiling paint. Both are thick, so thick I had to think them down slightly. No back spatter from either.

Ceiling paint (at least some) has a slight tint that goes away when dry. It makes it easier to paint white-on-white. It also tends to be a starker white ("super white") than wall paint.
