Hi, I bought the flat ceiling paint 5 gallons. I applied it on multiple ceilings.

It dried fine white.

It needed a second coat, so I applied the same 5 gallons, and it dried gray, very different from the first coat. Now I'll have to repaint every ceiling.

Loss:
$5000
Pros:
  • Cheaper
Cons:
  • Needs 2 coats

Preferred solution: Full refund

Pintura se decoloró en tres meses

AI Highlights
  • - Paint didn't last three months; it was touched up twice.
  • - Home Depot honored the claim and gave me paint; Jose and Jean at Glidden HD Caguas are excellent.

La pintura no duro tres meses, se retoco en dos ocasiones y nada.

Hice la reclamación a Home Depot con los recibos de compra y me lo honraron, me dieron la pintura.

Los asociados de Glidden Home Depot Caguas, Jose y Jean excelentes.

User's recommendation: Hydroresist es muy buena pero el color honey graham no lo recomiendoW

Spent 6 hours trying to paint one wall.The ironic thing is the paint color was the same ,only difference was the sheen. Spent extra money to buy expensive paint brushes, rollers, sanding items.

My paint is horrible. I have spent more money today to make sure it wasn't the roller or paintbrush.

Loss:
$86

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do not buy any Glidden paint. I'm gonna have to use a professional to remove wax substance that came from a partial can of Glidden spread interior paint and primer
