Do yourself a favor and DON'T skimp on the paint. Sherwin Williams is the way to go. They routinely offer 30%-40% off and it comes out to about the same price as buying paint from one of the big box stores. MUCH better quality too!


This. The Sherwin Williams ProClassic trim paint is the way to go. It a little more expensive but it's easy to work with, doesn't leave brush/roller marks at all and is durable as all get out. We have a 3 year old Beagle that's wild has hell and his nails haven't done a lick of damage on our baseboards. We went semi-gloss pure white and couldn't be happier.

My advice: use a washable flat/matte on your walls. Best of both worlds.

SW makes a product called Duration. Ask for the washable matte/flat paint.

make sure you keep every color and type of paint to it's own space. Or mark with marker and piece of tape, what it is.

I had a buddy who put the rest of 2 semi gloss paint cans into a half empty flat bucket. He leaves it with the rest of the Flat buckets(used and full). I went next day to finish the living room, sprayed that shite on.

came back and the glare from the lights was almost blinding. I was like holy shite, what the frick??? Didn't find out what happened till a couple days later. Thought paint company screwd me over.
