You should be using flat paint on walls and areas that have a lot of bumps, scratches, or holes. Since it can conceal these blemishes easily, it'll be the one paint finish you'll want to be using. It's best for low-traffic rooms that have a ton of light like offices and more formal rooms, like dining rooms.

- Ace Hardware has changed its paint supplier from Sherwin-Williams to Benjamin Moore. Sherwin-Williams made a deal last year with Lowe's Cos. to supply that retailer's paint. Ace sold its own paint manufacturing operation to Valspar in 2012 and currently carries Valspar along with its own house brands.

What Is Latex Paint? Latex is a water-based paint. Similar to acrylic paint, it is made from acrylic resin. Unlike acrylic, it's recommended to use latex paint when painting larger areas. Not because it dries slower, but because it's usually purchased in larger quantities.

This is a good all around inexpensive buy. It scored well in all three categories (Ease of Use, Performance, and Appearance). Although it's a breeze to apply and will add style to any room, it scratches easily so save it for one that doesn't get a lot of wear and tear from your kids - like a play area.

Ace Royal® paint remains a time-honored tradition of quality Ace paints: tough on walls, but easy on the wallet.

Our tests of 65 interior paints found standouts that are as close as the neighborhood hardware store or home center down the road, and they were easy to apply, great at hiding, durable, washable, and better for the environment.

Flat paint has a velvety, matte look and is the best choice to hide any wall imperfections. However, it's the least durable choice and doesn't usually stand up well to scrubbing.

Flexible yet durable, latex paint is also easy to clean and water-resistant, making it ideal for most interior projects. While durable and waterproof, latex paint remains slightly flexible even when completely dry, making it ill-suited for the exterior climate.
