Whether you are a painting contractor or a DIYer, you probably have not had the time to test 7 different BM white semi-gloss paints.
The Test
I applied 7 different white semi-gloss paints as evenly as possible on 3 different backdrops. The 3 backdrops were an off-white, mid-tone, and dark brown. Each backdrop had a one coat and two coat sample. Six judges independently looked at all 42 samples to see which ones covered best in 2 coats.
The Results
The judges were only looking at white samples of different paint. In other words, it was a blind test. In addition, I asked some of the judges not to touch the samples because I didn’t want them to identify the paint by feel.
All judges score Ben Semi-gloss as the best-covering paint. Yes, better than Advance, Aura, and Regal.
Furthermore, all judges scored Ben Moore Command as the worst for coverage.
