What are premium paints -- which brands?

most big paint companies have thier own '; premium'; quality paint.


just dont use cheap paint... if you see the price at $15 per gallon or less... stay away from it.





personally i use sherwin williams promar 200, pittsburgh ultra or dutch boy. behr and benjamin moore are overpriced, but both good paint as well.What are premium paints -- which brands?
One paint I see omitted is Martin Senour--made by Sherwin Wms., but sold by your Ben Moore dealer--at least mine. It's along the line of the ProMar 200-400 that SW sells. It's less expensive than the equivalent in Ben Moore.What are premium paints -- which brands?
Val Spar, Sherwin Williams, by the way, Sherwin Williams makes Walmart paints...I have used both Val Spar and Walmart brand and I have had good luck with the semi gloss Walmart brand paint....I like the Val Spar semi gloss for bathrooms and have also used Walmart semi gloss and satin paints with no problem...
supposedly one of the best (least problematic) interior paints money can buy is the Aura Affinity line by benjamin moore http://www.myaurapaint.com ... i heard you can buy Aura Affinity at Target





their site suggests the color molecules are tighter plus the ingredients are high grade
I love Benjamin Moore paints, and the the DIVA brand. Diva is the most beautifully textured paint to work with; it is like painting with yogurt.... absolutely no drip or splatter. PLUS. when they say one coat coverage, they mean it. One downfall to Diva, is , that while the colors are beautiful and rich, thre are not as many of them as some of the larger companies, and they will not mix a custom color for you. They were designed by an artist, and she refuses to mess with her paint!
Here are some very good paint companies:
