Pick one of our top-Rated paints to give your kitchen a new look this weekend. PAINT IS ONE OF THE easiest and most cost-effective tools in a kitchen transformation. With a weekend of work, you can give your space a fresh new look, for under $100. Our latest tests revealed products that make painting even faster, and greener— for less. And, we found that a brand’s flat, eggshell, and semigloss finishes perform similarly overall so we’ve combined the scores to make it easier to use our Ratings and to shop. The details: Self-priming paints save work. All of our top picks let you skip priming. Paints that are selfpriming are noted in the Ratings. For most surfaces, one coat of a recommended paint should be enough to hide most colors beneath. You get what you pay for. Budget paint may cost less up front, but you’ll end up putting on more coats for better hiding. Lower emissions. More manufacturers are claiming that their paint is free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), though the tints used to color the bases might have some VOCs. Those solvents, released into the air as paint dries, are linked to respiratory problems and air pollution. Most paint companies now say that their products contain 50 or fewer grams of VOCs per liter and some we tested claim not to have any VOCs. But even those “green” formulations might not be entirely odor-free. In a busy, sometimes messy space like a kitchen, it’s important to pick a paint that will hold up to frequent cleaning. Check the “scrubbing” category in our Ratings to help you make the right choice. KITCHEN PLANNING & BUYING GUIDE ConsumerReports.org

books and color-matching computer technology, you don’t have to rely on the skills of a sales clerk, though one with a good eye and mixing equipment with clean nozzles might be able to match colors, too. Because the paint base and sheen can differ slightly among brands, be sure to have the salesperson put a dab of the color on the paint chip or sample you’ve taken with you, then allow it to dry. Many retailers keep a hair dryer on hand for just that purpose.

Choose the right sheen. The best low-luster satin

and eggshell paints offer easy hiding and durability, making them ideal for most surfaces. Flat paints hide flaws better but are less resistant to stains and smudges, so do not use them in kitchens. Semigloss works well for trim, shelves and cabinets . But choose a semigloss that scored Very Good or Excellent in our glosschange test to be sure that the shine won’t dull with repeated cleanings. And select one that also did well in our sticking test, so cabinet doors and drawers won’t stick shut, even after the paint is dry.

How to choose Start shopping online. Manufacturer and retailer websites and Facebook pages offer a wealth of tips on choosing colors, including photo galleries of finished rooms and calculators to help you figure out how much paint you’ll need. They’re also good places to check for such deals as free samples, moving discounts, and special deals if you don’t like the color you’ve painted. Get the color perfect. Certain hues are specific to a brand. But retailers can often match colors. With paint-color formula

KITCHEN PLANNING & BUYING GUIDE ConsumerReports.org

OVERALL SCORE is mainly hiding, surface smoothness, and resistance to staining, scrubbing, gloss change, sticking, mildew, and fading. Results reflect white, pastel, and medium-tint bases. HIDING is coverage of contrasting color mainly with one coat. STAINING is resistance to water- and oil-based stains. GLOSS CHANGE is appearance change after rough cleaning. SCRUBBING is ability to resist an abrasive cleaner. SMOOTHNESS is the absence of roller marks when dry. RESISTS MILDEW is the ability to inhibit mildew growth. RESISTS STICKING is ability to resist tackiness when dry. RESISTS FADING is resistance to lightening from sun rays passing through a window. PRICE is approximate retail per gallon.

Instead of an expensive tile installation on the backsplash, consider painting the wall in a feature color, like this watery blue.

Can I fix paint runs?

Can I trash unused paint?

A Once the paint is dry, use fine sandpaper to remove the run, then retouch with a little paint. Runs can be a sign that you’re loading too much paint on the roller or brush or not spreading it well.

A You should always keep a little for touch-ups. Pour it into a small container and label it with the paint color and

number, and the room it was used in. You can try contacting local charities, religious organizations, or high school or college drama departments to ask whether they can use extra paint, or check whether your community collects it for reuse. If you don’t find any takers, follow local waste requirements for proper disposal (such as taking the lid off latex paint and letting it dry before disposing of the can).

Painter’s tape can help you create crisp lines between colors or around trim. In our tests, FrogTape Delicate Surface Tape, $6 to $9, was easy to use and didn’t damage surfaces.

HAVE PAINTING QUESTIONS? OUR EXPERTS HAVE THE ANSWERS. How should I paint the ceiling?

A After removing dust and dirt, use a small sash brush with flagged or split ends to cut in a strip of 2 inches or so around the edges of the ceiling. When choosing a brush, note that synthetic bristles tend to hold latex-based paint better and apply it more evenly than natural bristles. Then switch to a roller with an extension pole. Start in a corner and work across the shorter dimension of the room. For even coverage, paint a “W” or “M” pattern about 3 feet wide with the roller, then fill in the gaps. (The process works for walls, too.)

How can I prevent roller marks?

A Avoid cheap rollers with obvious seams. Synthetic, short-napped rollers work best on most walls, ceilings, and trim. Use longer-nap rollers for textured walls. Steel frames with lots of tines will be stiffer and sturdier, and sealed ends will keep the paint on the roller. Be sure to give a new roller a rubdown before use to remove any lint. The paint you use matters, too, so look for high smoothness scores in our Ratings.

What if I missed a spot?

A After the paint dries, usually in about 4 hours, touch it up. If you do it before the paint dries, you’ll mess up the paint surrounding the bare spot.
