          Answer This Question

          A:  Hi Mary, thank you for your question. For the paints with the best coverage, I recommend either our Marquee or Dynasty Paints. When they are paired with a color from our One-Coat Collection, they are guaranteed to provide one-coat coverage over an already-coated surface. Have a great day! - Randy

                  A:  Hi Evelyn, thank you for your question. To repaint your doors with our Premium Plus Paint, I recommend scuff sanding the surface if glossy to promote adhesion. Make sure the doors are clean and dry before priming any bare metal with our Multi-Surface Primer (No. 436) and topcoating. Best of luck with your project! -Lina

                    A:  Hi Bubba, thank you for your question. The eggshell finish will resist dirt and grime and one coat will provide a scrubbable finish. For the best durability and scrubbability, you can try the satin or semi-gloss finish. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna
