A review of Sherwin Williams CHB Latex Flat Wall/Ceiling Paint. Quite simply the best ceiling paint I've ever used. One coat over a previously painted patchy textured ceiling provided an exceptional looking uniform ceiling.

It is very good, the key is finding a product that dries dead flat. Even most flat paints have a little bit of a sheen that could be a problem. Benjamin Moore has a waterborne paint that dries like CHB as well. After 35 years I’m still always looking for something just a little bit better.)
In some regions it's called Masterhide, it might be the same as PM400 as well. I use SW Masterhide and agree it's absolutely the best ceiling paint due to being dead flat and hiding flaws. Problem is some homeowners can't get it without a contractor account. :/
This is the best ceiling paint I ever used. I did one coat on my son's bedroom ceiling and covered completely! They did sell it to me but said next time a contractor would have to buy it. I paint everything myself
It really is magical! I never thought there was such a difference in ceiling paint until I was recommended this stuff. I did a side by side comparison with another brand of "paint & primer in one", going over a ceiling that someone had painted pink (WHY God do people do these things??). This is hands down the ONLY paint that should ever be used on a ceiling. Period.
Sherwin Williams has one I've just been using on our bathroom ceiling called "Eminence High Performance Ceiling paint " comes in Ultra White flat. Excellent stuff as well!
That stuff is really good. Hardly any splatter, but the roller also has to be good. I recommend micro fiber rollers. I was quite surprised that my arms weren't covered in splatter.
@@manoadano unfortunately here in Vancouver BC, they stopped selling CHB because of issues in Texas where it’s made. Biggest mistake ever and a huge blow to the work I do 😪 . I wasn’t using an expensive sprayer either btw I have the titan 1700. So you should be fine
Been painting over 30 years ValSpar is the worst product out there but flat is safest sheen to buy if you do purchase a valsSpar product ... but just incase i stay clear of anything they make. I can walk in a home and tell when someone has used the product from all the flashing...but if your not a professional you probably wouldn't even noticed until it was pointed out. So many great products out there today...Sherwin Williams and Behr marguee are my first choices...
Your picture vs picture of the ceiling is really misleading. Not saying its a bad paint, but the pix are not helpful as the before shows harsh light coming from those windows, while the after shows diffused light, and the biggest issue with ceiling paint are the reflections, and this I wish was represented with more care, and honesty , at least from my perspective.
the basic idea is to get a DEAD FLAT paint ,especially if you have a large ceiling and the room has windows where you get reflected light .... Not all "flat paints" are "Dead Flat paints" .... Dead flat = no reflection and the paint blends with itself , no brush or roller marks in touch ups or application
@@ubacow7109 ceiling paint can be "low quality" , it's not a huge deal , dead flat is important IF you want to hide imperfections and make for easy touch up .... For some reason , I guess from light glare , ceilings show brush and roller marks a lot , even spray marks , and they CAN be painted with shinier paints and sometimes come out well , but later touch up sometimes shows .... Ceilings are tricky , and I HATE repairing a ceiling that's been painted with a jhard glossy paint , especially popcorn !!! what a nightmare that is when hard glossy paint was used .... it's HELL to scrape that popcorn off and do a repair
I was going to try thus until I seen all the bad reviews on Lowe’s. Found a bunch of negative reviews other places. Not going to risk time, effort, on money on this one.
If the cracks are not too crazy you can try caulking them with a latex caulk. Just fill them in and wipe as much off as you can. If that doesn’t work you have to get into retaping the cracks which is a process! Best Wishes!
It depends on what kind of surface your ceiling is. If it is rough like popcorn or porus like stucco a 3/4 nap is what I use. For those ceilings there is also a foam acoustical popcorn ceiling texture roller you can buy from The Home Depot.
I bought the high end Behr ceiling paint and it would not cover the inconsistent roller streaks after 3 coats on regular drywall ceiling. I have heard that a product call Flotrol (additive and extender) makes the paint super consistent. I want to try one more time but I dread painting ceilings now.
I am having the same experience with the Behr Ceiling paint. After 3 coats I just want to scream! That's why I'm on RU-vid looking for solutions! Unfortunately they don't sell this paint Funny Carpenter is talking about here in Michigan. After reading another comment it sounds like it has been discontinued. Any other SW CEILING PAINT you might suggest?
ANY "dead flat" is the best .... All you have to do is figure out what kind of "white" or "color" you want ..... ANY "dead flat" works , you just don't want any shine at all or it can look "sketchy" and impossible to touch up without showing ..... I use ProMar 400 , cheap , dead flat , works fine .... but I'm always interested in other paints , I just find the only issue that really matters is the sheen and color ..... Not all "whites" are the same , some look quite "gray" , some look "too white" , not all "Flats" are the same , some have a slight sheen to them (not good) ..... I like a SLIGHT VERY SUBTLE white with a touch of gray in it ...... SW ProMar 400 "Extra White" Flat works pretty well as a "happy medium" decent white color , dead flat , cheap price , looks fine
Well I love your videos but as a painter for over 40 years I heartily disagree. It’s a low grade apartment paint at best. On par with MasterHide or their Property Management paint. I seriously can’t believe you could recommend this. Stick to carpentry.
Oh baby!!!!! Behr paint is far and above ANY Sherwyn Williams paint. NO comparison! ! ! ! I flip houses. I just painted 7 ceilings with stains and used Behr ceiling paint specific for it. COVERED instantly. I'm not Canadian like he is so my market is MUCH different. We all used Home Depot Behr paint down here.
3:19 Behr ceiling paint is garbage. I will never use that crap again. I used Behr Ultra Stain Blocking Ceiling Paint and Primer in the purple label can. The finished product looked horrible. It looked like a primer when dry. It had areas where the flat paint looked like a semi gloss in blotches all over the ceiling. The finished product also looked horrible. I have painted ceilings before with Sherwin William's ceiling paint, and never have had the poor results I had with Behr. Behr claims a gallon covers 250 to 400 square feet. When I tried to cover 250 feet it took 2 gallons, and the results were horrible. They claim it is a stain blocking paint. There were several small stains I had that bled right through it. I gave up on the Behr, and went to my Sherwin William's Store. I bought Sherwin William's Premium Ceiling Paint. That stuff covered in one coat. The finished product is a white creamy look. There are no blotches of areas that look shiny like a semi gloss like I had with the Behr. The paint also went on better than the Behr. I painted a bedroom ceiling 16 years ago with Sherwin William's. It still looks fresh, and is not faded. This time I painted my living room ceiling. I tried Behr because it was $10.00 cheaper than the Sherwin William's. You get what you pay for when switching to a cheaper brand. There are also many reviews posted on The Home Depot website from consumers who Bought the Behr, and had the same results I had. The only good thing I have to say about the Behr ceiling paint is it is only good for priming a surface for paint. For a final coat I would use Sherwin William's. Anything I have ever used from Behr also requires two coats. They claim it covers in one coat but the result is a poor looking paint job.
