Any experience with Farrel Calhoun or PPG interior paint

PPG is garbage. Not sure about the other brand. SW is worth every penny IMO

What was your experience with their paint?

Ferrell Calhoun is good, lots of pros use it, but they get it way cheaper than we can.

Try Ace Hardware Clark & Kensington. It’s made by Sherwin Williams but at a much better price. You can actually touch up spots and not have to paint a whole wall as it dries to an exact match. Just discovered it.

I use Sherwin Williams a lot on Siegan and have no complaints. My wife uses Ferrell Calhoun and prefers them.

. I found coverage wasn’t near as good as Devoe. Embedded up w three coats before I was happy

I've painted a good bit and IMO S.W. coverage is frickin terrible.

I have been a DIYER for many years and have used every major brand of paint. Day in and day out it is hard to beat Farrell Calhoun for quality and value. It is made in Memphis, TN and formulated for southern climates. When painting exterior surfaces with PPG, Devoe, Benjamin Moore, or Sherwin Williams it was always necessary to add a mildew inhibitor to the paint and it still mildewed within three years. I painted the exterior of my home 8 years ago with FC and I do not have any areas of mildew, chalking, or peeling. As far as coverage with interior coatings by FC, applying a base coat of their primer (they call it under coater) tinted the same as the finish coat will provide a quality finish.
