Glidden Paint Review: A Success
I was approached recently to do a paint review for Glidden. I do a lot of painting and have used several brands, but this was my first attempt at using Glidden paint: it passed the test.
It was a good excuse for a much needed project. After hanging my T-shirt art, it became ever apparent that the my stark white master bathroom needed to be painted. I used Glidden’s interior satin in Haystack and it was a painter’s dream: I only needed ONE COAT! Since we are the first owners of the condo we live in, all of the walls hadn’t been painted, and I found out the hard way, that most of the walls hadn’t even been primed. I learned this after 3 coats of paint on our ceilings in the great room and kitchen. What. A. Project.
I’m happy to report, however, that the Glidden paint covered the semi-gloss starkness with ease, and was really great to work with. I didn’t use tape for this project, but I’m certain when pulling tape that the paint will stay put.
I also used the Glidden paint to do the stencil work in my nursery. This was another example of great paint coverage and finish.
I have one more project I want to attack with this Glidden paint, but my mind is already made up: it compares equally with Behr, my favorite paint to date. They have the same price tag, the same great coverage, and both nearly measure up to the higher end Benjamin Moore. I will DEFINITELY choose Glidden for future projects!
Here is my sad bathroom when we first bought our condo.
And here’s what the bathroom looks like now, {with Glidden’s ‘Haystack’ interior satin paint}
It’s still a little sparse, but it’s a step closer. And do I hate the lights in this bathroom? Yes, but nothing will ever be perfect.
