Would you mind sharing why you have a paint crush on the Break-through by PPG?? ProClassic satin (Extra White) is actually gorgeous and I love it. But BM Advance and SW ProClassic both take hours in between coats. My son, Jake, is doing the painting for me while he's home from college for the summer and he prefers to spray early morning and let it dry overnight. He's sanding between coats of primer and first coat of finish because the cabinets are old with rough spots. Sanding between coats helps a lot so it's totally worth the extra work. ProClassic takes a good 14 days to cure out so you can get a feel (literally) for the final finish and color; when it's fully "cooked" I like it a lot. But it's a slow process to get there with both brands (BM and SW) and the first day I didn't care for the chalky finish but that quickly changed as the paint cured. Break-Through is different you can sand/recoat in two hours and cures to final appearance within maybe 2-3 days or so. All of them sprayed, rolled, leveled nicely for us. We are not using a professional grade sprayer, just something we picked up at Lowe's. I have nothing bad to say about the paint BM or SW at all. Break-Through just dries and cures faster. ProClassic satin the is "prettiest" IMO but I'm super critical and it's not enough of a difference to sacrifice the chunk of time it requires to get to that pretty final finish - I just haven't had the extra time to spare with my recent projects so Break-Through has been a good solution. When I spec color for homeowners most painters around here spray lacquer with pro grade sprayers and it's a whole, huge production with masking and paper and tape.... and it stinks. We don't have the bandwidth or space to go that route. With Break-Through you have to wipe up any spills or splatter immediately because once it dries, it's not coming off - kind of wicked and unforgiving in that way.

I am a fan of Benjamin Moore Pale Oak OC-20. It was recommended by our realtor as the new "in-color". It is very light and does go OK with some grey shades IMHO. I used it for my recent bathroom reno. All the best in your project.

We are remodeling our home and our upstairs is Colonial style and downstairs is Spanish style. We are ready to paint upstairs. Which white/off white interior paint would be best for this style of home? I was looking at Dover White, but I'm not sure if that would work in the bathroom with blue tile and blue vanity? I would also like recommendations for trim color and ceiling color please. Thank you in advance!

I painted my entire interior home with Behr Ultra Scuff Defense Stain Blocker and Primer: satin for moldings and doors, matte for ceilings and walls. Color: “off white”. I even received a 10% military discount from Home Depot as I am a retired US Air Force Captain. It looks great all times of the day. People always comment how good it looks too. Easy to apply, great coverage. I've used BM and SW paint brands in the past and love the Behr!
