Simply. - Zinsser products seem to be the only products I've found that actually work. For example i painted my parents bedroom with this paint in 2014, it always had terrible mould issues, but the room is only now after 11 years starting to get a modest amount of mould on the walls. Compared to other more mainstream products which seems to do nothing, this stuff is amazing. Considering you need to apply less often it proves to be better value of money. Easy to use with a good consistency / thickness, good coverage, minimal smell. Colour coverage also seems decent, looking very solid with 2 coats over magnolia. Review: Great paint, but slightly blueish white more than brilliant white - Zinsser is my go to brand for most things these days. PermaWhite is a great paint - the mould resistant feature works well, no odour, and easy to apply. I used it in two places.. Interior Garage wall - apart from the painted edges, this was bare drywall. One reviewer shows photos of it peeling, but they clearly didnt seal the drywall first. You need to seal it first, ideally with Zinsser Gardz Permawhite is supposed to be a self priming paint, but for this wall it needed 3 coats. If I did it again Id probably do Gardz, then prime it with Zinsser BIN, then 1 or 2 coats of Permawhite. Batheroom Ceiling: This was already painted so didnt need Gardz or a primer, just 2 coats of Permawhite to freshen it up and it was looking great. I cut in with a cheap natural bristle brush, and then used Hamilton Perfection Medium Pile rollers (both the mini ones for the garage area, and the larger one for my bathroom ceiling - I love the finish from these rollers) Color: My only cricitiscm is that its quite a cold looking white - more on the blueish side than youd normally expect from a brilliant white emulsion. Cleanup: Whilst it doesnt claim to be entirely water-based, you can clean wet brushes and rollers just by rinsing in the sink with water. If you leave them to dry, you'll need something like Zinsser BIN Brush cleaner, and at that point its usually worth just tossing them. ## Features - Zinsser Perma White Self-Priming Interior Paint Matt White 2.5L - Product type: PAINT - Brand: Brand: zinsser - Size: 2.5 l Pack of 1 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079DD65SS | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,383 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 74 in Wall Paint | | Brand | Zinsser | | Brand Name | Zinsser | | Colour | White | | Colour Code | FFFFFF | | Container Type | Pail | | Coverage | 12.5 m²/2.5 l | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 517 Reviews | | Dry Time In Hours | 1 | | Finish Type | Matte | | Finish type | Matte | | Full Cure Time | 24 Hours | | Included Components | Brush, Stir Stick | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Waterproof | True | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Volume | 2500 Millilitres | | Item Weight | 3.8 Kilograms | | Item volume | 2500 Millilitres | | Manufacturer | Brand: zinsser | | Model Number | 852.DE.2.5 | | Paint Type | Acrylic | | Part Number | 852.DE.2.5 | | Size | 2.5 l (Pack of 1) | | Special Features | Odour Blocking | | Special feature | Odour Blocking | | Specific Uses For Product | Interior | | Surface Recommendation | Variety | | Unit Count | 2500.0 millilitre | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Zinsser - **Colour:** White - **Finish type:** Matte - **Item volume:** 2500 Millilitres - **Paint type:** Acrylic - **Size:** 2.5 l (Pack of 1) - **Special feature:** Odour Blocking - **Specific uses for product:** Interior - **Surface recommendation:** Variety - **Unit count:** 2500.0 millilitre ## Images ![Zinsser Perma White Self-Priming Interior Paint Matt White 2.5L - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZcH35DQNL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this be applied to damp walls or must they be dry before application?** A: It must be dry. If you are treating mould I put on two coats of damp proof paint on first then two coats of Zinsser . This paint is super easy to use **Q: Can I paint over this with a nice normal emulsion once it’s dried** A: Yes it dries matt white perfect to paint over after **Q: Is this okay for painting bathroom tiles** A: Never tried it on tiles, but it worked brilliantly in a very humid bathroom **Q: Can you paint window frames with this paint?** A: This is for woodwork, doors etc. It is the rebranded version of the Zinsser Perma White, white you can no longer get. I spoke to Zinsser Tech Dept as I kept getting sent this paint when ordering the Perma White, Amazon still has old photo of old style tin on site as at todays date. I returned 2 tins and complained I was being sent the wrong paint. However, on speaking to Zinsser they confirmed, same paint just rebranded to emphasis the anti mould properties. I think the new paint is thinner than the old one but they say it’s the same. So, yes if it’s the same this paint WILL PAINT WOODWORK ETC. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best.
