Medallion Plus Interior Latex Eggshell Ultra White 5 Gal

Worth it for contractors who need true one-coat coverage and fast turnaround times. The 97% recommendation rate from 62 reviews backs up what the specs promise — this paint delivers. At approximately 350-400 sq. ft. per gallon (~1,750-2,000 sq. ft. per 5-gallon container), you’re getting solid coverage that actually holds up.

Skip it if you’re just slapping paint on a rental flip. This is positioned as premium interior paint with GREENGUARD Gold Certified (Low Chemical Emissions) credentials that matter more for occupied homes than quick turnarounds.

Coverage Performance and Application

The numbers tell the story here. Approximately 350-400 sq. ft. per gallon puts this right in line with other premium paints, but the 100% Acrylic Latex (Paint + Primer in one) formula means you’re not coming back for a second coat on most surfaces. That’s where the real value shows up — fewer coats equals less labor.

Some users found it thinner than the regular Medallion line, which actually helps with self-leveling but might surprise painters used to thicker formulas. The low odor (virtually no scent) isn’t marketing fluff — multiple reviews confirm it. In Montana’s tightly sealed homes during heating season, that matters.

Specification	Value
Coverage	350-400 sq. ft./gallon
Dry Time (touch)	30 minutes - 1 hour
Recoat Window	2 - 4 hours
Application Temp	50°F - 90°F
Sheen	Eggshell

The 50°F - 90°F application range works for Montana’s variable shoulder seasons. Spring and fall jobs don’t have to wait for perfect weather.

Indoor Air Quality and Health Specs

GREENGUARD Gold Certified isn’t just another sticker on the can. This certification means the paint meets strict chemical emission limits — critical when Montana homes stay buttoned up from October through April. The low odor (virtually no scent) makes occupied repaints possible without clearing the building.

Here’s what actually matters: you can paint a bedroom in the morning and sleep in it that night. The 30 minutes - 1 hour touch dry time and minimal off-gassing mean less disruption for clients.

Durability Features

The 100% Acrylic formula delivers on multiple fronts:

• Mold and mildew resistant finish
• Stain, scuff, and scrub resistant
• Durable and fade-resistant color

That mold and mildew resistance matters in Montana’s temperature-swing climate. When warm, humid air meets cold walls during spring thaw, lesser paints grow fuzz. This one doesn’t.

The Eggshell sheen strikes the right balance — enough sheen to wipe clean, not so much that every wall imperfection shows. Perfect for lived-in spaces that need to look good and stay clean.

Installation and Compatibility

Drywall (new or previously painted), Plaster, Masonry (brick, concrete), Wood (interior), Primed metal surfaces — it’ll stick to pretty much anything you throw at it. The paint-and-primer formula means one less step on most surfaces, though raw wood and fresh drywall patches still need proper prep.

Application guidance keeps it simple: Stir thoroughly before use, Apply ceiling first, then walls and trim, and No thinning required. That last point matters — thinning for spray application voids most manufacturer coverage claims.

The Bottom Line

At 4.9/5 stars from 62 reviews with a 97% recommendation rate, contractors have spoken. This paint does what it claims. The combination of genuine one-coat coverage, fast dry times, and low odor makes it ideal for occupied spaces and tight timelines.

The only real complaint? Plastic safety ring on the can can be difficult to remove. If that’s the worst thing reviewers can say, you know the paint itself performs.

FAQ

Does this paint really cover in one coat? Excellent coverage shows up consistently in reviews, though may require a second coat for full coverage on certain surfaces. Dark colors going light or stained surfaces still need two coats.

How does it compare to regular Medallion paint? Some users found it thinner than the regular Medallion line. The Plus formula trades some body for better self-leveling and lower odor.

What surfaces work with this paint? Drywall (new or previously painted), Plaster, Masonry (brick, concrete), Wood (interior), Primed metal surfaces. Basically everything interior except bare metal and glossy surfaces without sanding.

Is the low odor claim real? Multiple reviewers confirm virtually no scent. Combined with GREENGUARD Gold Certified status, this is legitimately low-emission paint.

How long between coats? 2 - 4 hours recoat window. In Montana’s dry climate, you’re looking at the shorter end of that range most days.
