The premium KILZ TRIBUTE one coat paint and primer combination has superior coverage that makes it easy to cover up old, faded, and chipped paint with just one coat. The paint comes in a 1-quart or a 1-gallon can that can cover up to 400 square feet and has a 100 percent acrylic formula. This means that this one coat paint is water based and has a low number of VOCs, making it a great option for painting small bedrooms or basements where the ventilation may be poor. This paint is used inside and outside the home with a variety of formulas designed to protect and enhance that fall into either the oil-based category or the water-based category of paints. To keep it simple, ideally look for a good quality water-based paint (easier to clean and more environmentally-friendly) with a low VOC content. Effectively this means less chemicals and less odour, so better for your health and perhaps more importantly it's better for the planet. If you're looking for the greenest of the green paints, try eco paints for ultra low VOC content and sustainable manufacturing.

One Coat Pure Brilliant White Matt Emulsion Paint Wilko Quick One Coat Pure Brilliant White Matt Emulsion Paint

One gallon of paint covers up to 400 square feet of wall, with some consideration to the surface porosity and the color difference, such as the difficulty in covering a dark or patterned wall with light-colored paint. The paint requires about 24 hours to properly cure, at which point it becomes more durable and resistant to mold and mildew, allowing it to be cleaned regularly with soap and water without ill effect. This GREENGUARD certified combination paint and primer is made for durability and long-lasting protection. Once the paint has fully cured, it’s resistant to flame, mold, mildew, staining, and moisture. The latex paint is also strong enough to withstand hard scrubbing and won’t fade, flake, wrinkle, or shift so that the walls, trim, or ceiling can be washed regularly and still retain the vibrant ultra-white color.

The latex interior paint and primer combination is also resistant to moisture, mold, and mildew, helping to protect porous materials, like drywall, from microbial growth and water damage. It comes in a 1-quart, 1-gallon, or 5-gallon can with 1 gallon of paint providing between 300 and 400 square feet of coverage. This paint also has a low-odor and zero-VOC formula, making it a good choice for rooms that are more difficult to properly ventilate. The acrylic one coat paint has a low-odor and low-VOC formula that makes it easier and safer to paint small spaces, though proper ventilation should still be a primary concern before starting. The paint dries to the touch in about eight hours and fully cures in about 24 hours, at which point the paint can be washed, scrubbed, and cleaned without it chipping or fading. Low-VOC one coat paint contains about 0.4 ounces of these harmful chemicals per gallon of paint, and even products labeled as zero VOC can still contain 0.04 ounces per gallon. These user-friendly options aren’t as dangerous, though they may not yield the same results as a standard one coat paint, which is typically high in VOCs. Color and Finish

When deciding on a one coat paint product, the color is an obvious consideration that should be made depending on the desired aesthetic. The finish may require a bit more thought because it can be split into several categories, including flat, matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss.

Frequently asked questions

One top tip is to make sure that you buy enough paint for the job in hand and try and get from the same batch, especially if using colour. This ensures that you get a good even colour. If you need to use more than one tin of paint, mix in a large container with a lid — like an empty 10L paint container. Then use as needed. Painting a room isn’t usually high on a list of dangerous projects, but without the proper ventilation and breathing protection, the fumes produced by paint can cause headaches, nausea, organ damage, and even loss of consciousness in extreme situations. These symptoms are typically caused by VOCs. One coat paint can be applied over another type of paint, though to ensure that the old paint doesn’t show through, it’s important that the one coat paint has a similar or darker color.
