Which do you like ? Cons Reports rate Behr Marquis best. I have put two coats of white on over peach and it still looks like it needs another coat. I know the pure white is not 1 coat coverage, but 3 coats seems excessive
I like Valspar Reserve from Lowe’s. I detest painting and this stuff works with one coat in most cases. I used to dread the idea of painting a room then having to do it again for a second coat but this stuff fixed that.

Quite expensive but the performance is the best I've seen. Goes on smoothly, doesn't drip on a brush or roller and dries incredibly fast. Dry to the touch in about 5-7 minutes. The contractor we used for our kitchen and Master bath remodels used it and when I decided to paint my garage (stuck in Covid jail) I went to the local KM paint store. I mentioned my contractor's name and they put the sale through on his account number (I paid with CC) and the price was more than half of the retail.

Inside I've used lots of brands including SW but I think the issue is proper priming. Especially when going dark you need a dark primer. Going lighter the reverse and a good primer will seal out the old. Three coats of white may be necessary without proper primer coat.
