Which do you like better/Should I use Velspar Paint?


To be honest, I'm leaning towards the darker color, but I'd like your opinion. And if you ladies think Velspar is a poopy paint, I'd love some suggestions!
Re: Which do you like better/Should I use Velspar Paint?
I like the lighter color but they are both nice. How big is the room you are painting? If it is a smallish room go with the lighter color.
We always use Behr paint for at our homes and on our renovation houses. Benjamin Moore is also really good. Not real fond of Valspar and their color match system SUCKS!
I like the darker color too.
We've gotten Valspar paint on occasion, it has the strongest smell IMO. I've used Sherwin Williams, Valspar, Olympic, Glidden and Behr paints... it's definitely the smelliest out of all of those brands.
We typically use Behr paint. I've found that a paint, is a paint, is a paint. If you're painting from one extreme to the next, you're going to need primer... unless you're a fan of doing multiple coats. We get Behr because it seems to smell the least out of what we've used.
I get paint cards from everywhere. Any paint brand can match any card. So don't think that you have to use the Valspar swatches if you want Valspar paint.
