BEHR Premium Plus Interior Eggshell Enamel Paint, 5 Gallon
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: Coverage is quoted at 250 to 400 sq ft per gallon, and the low end is the honest one over a colour change or bare drywall -- a 5 gallon pail covers about 1,600 sq ft in two coats. Eggshell is the sheen that washes without flashing, which is why it suits hallways and kids' rooms where flat paint marks and semi-gloss shows every roller lap. It is paint and primer in one, which is true over a similar colour and not true over bare drywall, dark colours or stains -- those still need a dedicated primer.
Who should buy this
Whole-room and whole-floor repaints where buying by the pail is cheaper than by the gallon.
Who should avoid this
Small touch-ups, and anyone painting over bare drywall or a dark colour without priming first.

Not the product’s fault, but be warned
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Small touch-ups, and anyone painting over bare drywall or a dark colour without priming first. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Posting after real use, not unboxing
Had this a couple of weeks now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Eggshell sheen washes without flashing. Still mildly irritated by one thing: "Paint and primer in one" does not replace primer over bare drywall. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Happy with it, but go in informed
About 1,600 sq ft of two-coat coverage per pail. The one thing to know before ordering: "Paint and primer in one" does not replace primer over bare drywall. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Listing was accurate, which is rarer than it should be
About 1,600 sq ft of two-coat coverage per pail. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Eggshell sheen washes without flashing. Nothing has surprised me in a full season.
