KILZ TRIBUTE Paint & Primer, Interior, Matte, Old Lamppost, 1 Gallon

Happy with quality… and end results. Great Value!

After having all new floors installed, we decided to update the paint we had applied 20 years ago when we moved in. We saved this room for last because we were both apprehensive about how many coats it was going to take to fully cover that red. The Kilz reputation led me to this paint, and I really was bummed when I learned that Amazon is the sole source for their "Tribute" line. Not that I have anything against Amazon, I order from here nearly every week (sometimes several times a week). I just felt it was very risky buying paint- it's heavy and if it were to come open during shipping, it could be something akin to a disaster. Before I select a paint, I have always painted a section of foam core board so I can check multiple locations in differing lights to be sure of the color prior to putting it on the wall(s). Of course, samples were "unavailable" in the colors I was most interested in. After debating for almost 2 weeks, I went ahead and took the chance on the one I thought was my favorite. I ordered 2/25, it was delivered 2/25 in perfect condition. WHEW! Now for the really good news; this paint goes on like a dream, gives excellent coverage (even on the red), and dried to exactly the color I expected. The only prep (other than taping off NO PAINT zones) was brushing the walls with a broom and then filling nail holes with DAP Spackling Compound. We didn't sand the surface, which was previously a satin sheen, and had absolutely no problem with this paint adhering. ONE COAT COVERAGE!! I'm not kidding, folks. Before and After photos are included with my review.

This is such a beautiful color. It's truly the blue that you see swatched on the page, I get nothing but complements when I get company, it goes wonderfully with my new floor that im having installed, makes home nice and bright 🌞

Beautiful color well worth the money

Let me first say I love this paint and I’d buy it again in a heartbeat And I’m guessing you’re not going to be nit-picky about exact colors or you wouldn’t be searching for paint online. I’m just trying to give you information I wish I had had before picking Misty Morning for my bathroom. On my computer screen, Misty Morning appears to be a green/gray/blue, like Sherwin Williams Sea Salt, which is what I wanted but I didn’t want to drive all the way to Sherwin Williams. It’s not the paint’s fault that it’s not the color I thought I was getting. Computer screens can trick you. But there is no green in this color, nor would I say it has much gray in it. It’s a really pretty Robin’s Egg Blue. I could easily see this color in a baby’s room, for either a boy or girl. The paint itself is a dream to work with. It only took one coat to cover our white textured wallpaper. It went on smooth and doesn’t stink. I did have some windows in the house open because it’s a beautiful fall day, but I didn’t get a headache at all while painting, and I don’t think you’d have to have a lot of ventilation when you’re painting. It also was pretty easy to clean off my brushes, which was surprising. I can’t attest to durability because it’s not even dry yet, so time will tell. But I would definitely recommend this paint, and if you’re looking for a perfect Robin’s Egg Blue, try Misty Morning!

I ordered this color and paint to create my own chalk paint to refinish a small cabinet project. The color is true to the color you on the order and it was really easy to use and mix up for my chalk paint. It has pretty good coverage so far after one coat, but I’m going to let it dry before adding another coat. The 8 ounce container it came in is perfect for me, I take out what I need and close up the rest for easy storage in my small workspace. The package arrived secure and packed tight, there was no paint leakage or waste when it arrived. I ordered two and will definitely order more colors, good for the price.

Great quality paint

While the paint has good coverage and built in primer is great, the color was not mixed right ! It was more of a light yellow-toned color of green rather than a light sage. I was able to adjust color myself so I didn't send back.
