“Honestly, the performance of this paint really threw us for a loop. 😁  I anticipated that there may be sacrifices somewhere along the way in ease of application, coverage or aesthetic quality given the budget-friendly price point. At every turn, this paint holds up to or exceeds premium paint standards.”

✅ Consistency: Firstly, the consistency of this paint keeps together throughout the painting process. This paint does not separate after it has been properly mixed, which is usually a concern with budget paints. For this project, we used a mixing attachment on a standard power drill for 3 minutes. Going the full three minutes helps to ensure the paint remains fully mixed while you are using it. Mixing it by hand vigorously with a stir stick is another alternative.

✅ Colour: Secondly, we used Loop paint in a Light Grey interior low-sheen tone.  It does appear dark during application while wet but dried to match the colour presented on the label perfectly. 

✅ Smell: Thirdly, volatile organic compounds  (VOC’s) are what give most paint on the market that noticeable ‘fresh paint’ smell. Those chemicals are known to cause health issues including headaches and nausea in some individuals. Any remaining VOC’s present in recycled paint has already been off-gassed long before the recycling process.

Consequently, Loop Recycled Paint is an ideal choice for a nontoxic home renovation. Our bathroom paint job is a relatively small area and the paint smell is actually pleasant with a vanilla aroma.  Trust our loop paint review and try it for yourself!
