You can really see the quality of good paint, and they are tougher so they last longer and won’t yellow or fade like some budget brands. The #1 rule in painting: you save money by using quality. We are production painters: we spray the trim, then mask it, then spray ceilings and walls! The Best Paint for Trim: You simply email the seller with your color choice.These are both somewhat pricey and we have other budget choices below, but remember that these paints last much longer.This is the standard latex trim paint which holds color, is very cleanable but not quite as tough as Advance. Regal Semi-Gloss, also from Ben Moore.
This is the best seller of this paint: very responsive.
This ships pure white unless you email the seller.
Benjamin Moore’s Advance shown above self-levels just like oil paint and looks amazing. If you just want the bottom line: there are 2 trim paints that we use over and over, and both are excellent. If you need to block stains, read our post about stain blocking primer. We list the basic tools and refer you to the ‘how-to’ steps. Latex or oil? Unlike what you might be reading, oil is long dead. Choose your color: an off-white is standard. Choose your sheen: most folks like semi-gloss. Choose the brand and line of paint: we describe the two we use most, we love and recommend Advance from Ben Moore: it looks incredible like oil paint…but it takes experience to apply. Always get the best paint for trim that you can afford. When it comes to picking a trim paint, in every case, you save money in the long run by using quality paint: Quality paint looks better, holds its color longer, goes on without spitting…and you can really scrub it clean.
