CHOICE Expert Rating
View more details.
This overall score consists of: hiding power (70%), stain resistance (15%) and scrubbing resistance (15%).
-
Hiding power score
View more details.
How well the paint covers underlying marks or patterns. Paint with a comparatively low score may need an extra coat (maybe three coats instead of two) to cover walls with a lot of marks or with a darker base colour.
-
Stain resistance score
View more details.
How easily we can remove cordial, red wine, tomato sauce, and felt-tip pen from each paint.
-
Scrubbing resistance score

Recommended

The recommended paints offer a generally good balance of hiding power, scrubbing and stain resistance. However some of them don't score well for scrubbing resistance. They can still be scrubbed if need be, but won't stand up so well to it over time.
