1.0 out of 5 stars Beware of this paint, it leaves a purple stain!, October 21, 2010

Hello,
I just tried to paint over a previously painted area that I painted yesterday, and the overlap part stayed purple. I have to agree with a posting I read on the GardenWeb that states re-painting an area can reactivate the purple/pink in the paint. The new area you painted will not blend with the old area, ever. It will look like the ceiling is stained purple. I have a 2,200 sf ceiling that I am very angry about having to repaint because of this problem. The ceiling was properly primed. I have read that you have to prime the area again with an oil primer to block the activation process. Wow, how can they sell such a product? The paint goes on okay, and dries okay, but you can not paint over it if you are trying to blend it in with a newly painted area, even if you use the exact same paint from the same paint can a day or two later. In my case, I separated my ceiling into 3 areas planning to paint each area about 3 days apart as I had to move a lot of furniture around. It looks terrible and now I will have to paint the whole ceiling again (1 primer, and 2 top coats already). Do yourself a favor and stay away from this paint!

Despite following the directions and allowing far more drying time than the directions indicated we still had poor coverage and sporadic purple streaks.

1.0 out of 5 stars Purple Haze, May 17, 2010

What a waste of a Sunday night and a waste of my shoulder stength for the day. My girlfriend went to the store and bought this and said she saw it in some magazine. I went with it. After I was done it didn't look good, I could see some purple tint hours after I finished and the edges where I had to use a different roller looked awful. Anyways, I said I'd give it a day to see how it looked. Well the first thought I had when I saw it the next day after work was "great, another day of neck strain". So unless you like painting a ceiling twice or a purple haze, I would look elsewhere.
