Benjamin Moore- Eco Paint Review

Paint Review. 

I went to Bayside Paints, which has the largest selection of Eco Paints in San Diego. The paint company with the widest color selection is Benjamin Moore. I just needed Primer (low VOC) , so bought 1 gallon of Eco Spec Primer. ($23.99) I probably would have bought more paint, if they were a little more customer service oriented. I will give them the benefit of the doubt, it was early Sat. am, and they were busy. 

Bayside Paints carries, Yolo Color House ( Color Sample’s for Sale) , Green Devine, Green Planet Paints, Sydney Harbor, Old Milk Paints, Coronado, American Clay and of course Benjamin Moore. Know before you go, there is not a ton of color samples available. The best thing to do is go on bright sunny day to get accurate lighting, take color samples with you to match. 

The Eco Spec Primer is much thinner than Kilz or Behr (Home Depot).  It went on very smoothly and dried in a timely manner. They recommend 2 coats, of which I didn’t do.  Just did the one coat and painted over it, which went on easily. Will let you know how it goes after we get the lights in! It was hard to see with a jury-rigged light set up.

I recently painted my kitchen with Yolo Colorhouse paint, and I love it! The paint was so easy to use, great coverage and the color is great!!!
