HOW TO APPLY
Recommended order of work.
- 01Clean the surface and patch nail holes before painting.
- 02Apply with a standard 3/8" nap roller in two thin coats.
- 03Recoat in 2-4 hours under normal conditions.
PRO TIPS
- The 400 sq ft figure assumes primed, smooth surfaces — porous drywall eats more.
- Zero VOC makes it a frequent pick for occupied homes and nurseries.
- For dark dramatic colors, tintable bases and an extra coat beat one heavy coat.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you open the can.
How many sq ft does a gallon of Glidden Premium cover?
Glidden cites up to 400 sq ft per gallon on primed, smooth, non-porous surfaces. On real walls, PintaClaro's practical reference of 350 sq ft/gal is safer for estimating — 300 or less over fresh patching.
Is Glidden Premium good quality for the price?
It is a solid value paint for repaints and rentals: zero VOC, washable, and decent hide. For high-traffic or high-moisture rooms, a premium line (BEHR Ultra, SuperPaint) lasts longer between repaints.
Do I need primer with Glidden Premium?
It includes primer properties for light color changes over prepared walls. Bare drywall, stains or dark-to-light changes still call for a dedicated primer like KILZ 2.
