The Coverage of C2
The coverage of white C2 Satin paint did not cover as well as I wished. Crisp white paints like C2 do not cover well because there is not much pigment in the paint to do so. The white paint of C2 is more white and crisp than all other cabinet-grade paints I tested. The only one comparable was PPG Ultralast. The whiter the paint, the worse the coverage.
Most paint manufactures add 2 drops of black pigment to improve the coverage. Ironically, these paints go by the name of “super white” or “extra white.”
Though C2 Cabinet and Trim paint can be sprayed and cover with two coats, if it is brushed, it will take 3-4 coats.
Advance, by Ben Moore, covers well but is not nearly as white.
