Taubmans Easycoat Pro Ceiling Paint

The Product I Bought was Called "Taubmans Brilliant White Ceiling Paint" (Slightly different product name and must be a different formula?) I have been struggling with poor results using another ceiling paint that starts with a "D" and have had a really poor result even after multiple coats trying to get rid of the patchiness. I was thinking, is… Read more ·  3

it my roller? Is it my technique? ( So I watched multiple videos online) No it not my roller nor my technique. What's left? But this paint is supposed to be good right? In pure frustration, I swapped to Taubmans Ceiling Paint. Well straight up, Two coats and you can't see through it. It must have more titanium dioxide (the white powder) in it or something else. The shadows and visible patchiness disappeared. D#MN IT!!! IT WAS THE PAINT!!! I then went back to the Bunnings website and looked at the reviews for Taubmans Ceiling Paint. Oops!!! How did I miss the number of people saying that TAUBMANS CEILING PAINT IS BRILLIANT!! on the Bunnings website. The photos look great. No patchiness. After my experience, I whole heartedly agree. Taubmans Ceiling Paint is far superior....It's not even close.

I'm writing this review in the hope that I rescue another me, from the paint selection frustration and stop pouring money down the drain. If Taubmans other paint is as good, I'm won over for life.

What a joke-you review the product then they blame you! – After reviewing this and receiving a message back from Taubmans asking me to contact them -I had to chase them multiple times by phone and email for them to just blame our painting techniques even though we have never had any problems with any other paint before-a complete waste of time, effort, money and I will be steering clear of any Taubmans products from now on!!!! Show details

Taubmans pink to white ceiling paint leaching pink after drying – 2 weeks after painting ensuite ceiling, it looked great when it was finished, now each time I have a shower the pink leaches from the paint leaving stains, absolute rubbish! Show details

Extremely Disappointed – I do like the "goes on pink - dries white" especially for previously painted white ceilings. but couldn't find any Dulux as per previous experience. So, I bought 5 x 4 Litre Taubmans Easycoat Ceiling paint (not the "Pro" variant) for a covid-19 lockdown project. While it did go on pink, and it did dry reasonably quickly, the finish was shocking.… Read more

The paint seemed to be quite watery with not much white pigment. So, the paint could not provide a full and even cover. Ended up hand painting cornices 3 times (plus some touch-ups) and used the roller (used two different types - no difference) on the ceiling 2 times (plus some touch-ups). Each time was a little better, but now after a week, going back for another coat all over. Wouldn't be surprised if I had to do another coat after that - and that is despite the very generous applications. Currently seems to be a little bit "chalky" and a bit worried about longevity, but definitely needs the extra coat(s). Will end up using almost 3 to 4 litres on the one smallish room trying to get a thick even cover - that is a waste of time, paint and effort. Should have been able to finish a few rooms given the time (and amount of paint) used... I have done a lot of painting in my time (first time using Taubmans) and this paint doesn't provide the finish I am used to and was expecting. There is no way I would recommend this paint. So frustratingly disappointed.

Requires too many coats – Was a few liters short to finish a ceiling down stairs so purchased this product to finish the job , the other branded paint which was at least a year old only needed two coats for a finished job , this stuff three coats and still needs more . It has very poor covering power and this is white on white , is thinner than the other paint I used I did… Read more

not have any trouble with dripping because you dare not not fully load the roller which made the job slow.So after three coats I have five shades of white on my ceiling I know it is not my technique as the other paint had no such issue and I have painted out two other house over the years with no problems.Will never buy this brand again in ceiling paint and definitely can not recommend this paint at any price.

I wanted to love it! – I needed a ceiling paint and had used Taubmans Tradex previously which I never had a problem with. I went into Bunnings to purchase 15L and was upsold to the Easycoat Pro Ceiling Paint. I had expected it to be amazing for the price but I must admit I was disappointed. As per other reviews it was very watery and I think the worst splatter I've ever… Read more

had from other ceiling paints. I'm really not looking forward to painting the rest of my ceilings. Purchased from Bunnings Seymour

Worst paint ever – after undercoat was applied it took 6 coats of easy coat ceiling to cover...it was so thin and watery please dont buy this paint if you thinking of painting.worst paint Show details

Taubsman easy coat poor quality and not easy to used – We have the same experience with Graeme, bought dulux for walls, finish quick and great and easy. And then bought paint for ceiling flat Taubsman easy coat 10L from bunnings, the truth is not easy, it is very hard and patchy finished and it is like pouring the paint unto the ceiling and still look like not finishing anything . Show details

Lesson learnt, don’t buy paint at Bunnings – I purchased wall, ceiling and Woodwork paint to paint my house during COVID from Bunnings. Price wasn’t an issue. I purchased the premixed Antique White Dulux Wash and Wear which I’ve used before and again hasn’t let me down, a great paint. Taubmans Easy Coat was the only option they offered so I poorly assumed it was a good paint, I actually… Read more

think I asked for a good ceiling white. I am on my third coat and it is still patchy and in even. The consistency is thinner than Dulux, but not being an expert not sure if this is just ceiling paint. Do yourself a favour and go to a paint store.

Terrible ceiling paint – This paint is so thin it does not cover well even after 3 coats .Still looks like it needs another coat.it wastes so much time trying to get it to look even. It drips all over the floor and walls instead. It really is terrible paint. Just read reviews for Dulux and they’re not good either. Help I need a great ceiling paint....... Show details

Worst paint ever – Used a premium roller and brush only to find that after two coats it dries very patchy. Looks like it needs another coat. Waste of time and money. Will switch to a Dulux paints to cover up the mess. Show details

Too thin, chalky – Does not finish well. Several coats and still looks like it needs more. Paint is very runny, probably why. I’ve used their 3 in 1 primer and that is much better. Show details

Complete waste of time – My kids water colours have better coverage than this products. Complete waste of time. Dries quickly because its as watery as milk. Upto my 3rd coat and it's still practically transparent. Show details

DO NOT BUY THIS PAINT!!! – The easy coat flat ceiling paint has to be the worst paint I have had the misfortune to purchase in my 54 years. It is watery and so drips everywhere and with really poor coverage. It is like trying to paint with watered down UPVA glue. Just a waste of my time. Shame on you Taubmans for producing this poor excuse for paint! Show details

Don't buy it – This is very watery paint that makes a terrible mess with drips. You can't load up a brush so the job takes way longer and compared to a different brand the finish is just awful. Freshening up my ceilings at home was a single coat job with the other paint but this Taubmans Easycoat will take 3 coats at least. I really don't think I can continue with it and seriously wish I hadn't bought it! Do yourself a favour and do not buy this paint. Show details

Watery and patchy finish – Easy coat ceiling paint. Watery paint and a very patchy finish. Drips off rollers and brushs. Ceiling was properly prepared. Three coats and is still a very patchy finish. I will never use again. Show details

Nothing wrong with this product – After using 15 litres of Haymes ceiling I was short paint for 2 rooms and thought I would try easycoat ceiling as it was on special at Bunnings. In my opinion it was exactly the same and as good as the Haymes product - yes they are both a little watery but dry to a nice velvet finish. I think it helps to use a good quality roller and work quickly. Show details

Taubmans Pink to White Easycoat Ceiling Paint - 4L Pink to White – A week on from painting and the room has a sour chemical smell. I can rub my hand across the ceiling and my palm smells terrible. The tin was a brand new purchased from Bunnings.

Will never use this again – Watery paint and I needed 3 coats which was possible as I had purchased 10lt. Never again! Quick to drip off the brush and wasn't user friendly when trying a cutting in tool.

Milky looking water – What a waste of money. After two coats I gave up. Watery paint that does not cover the area properly and leaves a terribly patchy result. Should have stuck to Dulux!

Great coversge – I used Taubmans Tradex Elusive White which is pretinted and so has excellent coverage. I renailed the garage ceiling, removed fluro lights and set the holes so I used their prep paint on the raw plaster before applying two finish coats. Six hours to sand the plaster and roll on the three coats. Great finish. If you use untinted ceiling paint expect bad results.

do not buy – Ok I swore years ago I would never use taubmans paint again after a poor quality finish on a previous job,anyway I gave it another go bought from bunnings ,easycoat ceiling paint ,more like crapcoat ,spent 2 days instead of half a day ,painting ceiling this pint is really poor quality ,bad finish,poor everything

Crap Paint – Need at least 3 coats...is paint watered? Will not buy Taubmans again. Inside of can was rusted....Taubmans rep said 'No it will be ok...' Rust on inside of cans says a lot for quality of the paint

Not the best – Purchased this paint to do several ceilings. Naturally mixed it properly but no matter how hard we stirred it, it was still very thin. This meant that when it was applied to the ceiling it dripped & left a patchy job. Have had better experiences with Taubman's other products but this one left me with more work than it should have.

Very poor coverage – 13 square meters of previously painted white ceiling used 3.5 litres of this paint. I was stunned by the lack of coverage, especially when they claim "up to 16 M2 per litre." That is extremely ambitious on the part of taubmans. Factor this in when costing out your paints. Never again.

Good quality ceiling paint – I have used this paint to recoat a few ceilings in my home, and as ceiling paint goes, I can't fault it. All ceiling paints are thin and take a few coats to do a good job, this paint is no different. Has 'microban' anti bacterial agent in it so resists mould and is great for wet areas that produce steam.

Taubmans Easycoat Pro Ceiling Paint, don't buy it – I bought this ceiling paint because I thought the Microban might be useful for the kitchen and it's price point would make it a superior product to the base range Taubmans Tradex ceiling paint. I was wrong, this paint is just bad, it is thin, it covers poorly, drys patchy and the quoted 16 m2 per litre is not even close. I bought 15 litres of… Read more

this stuff and wasted a day applying it before biting the bullet and buying 10L of Solver ceiling paint.

The cheaper Solver paint was thicker, went on easily and has significantly better coverage. I still have a few litres of the Taubmans but there is no way I would be using it anywhere where there is a span of ceiling much bigger than a toilet. For those in a similar situation I was applying it to my existing flat white ceilings which were in pretty good condition and did a test between the Solver and the Taubmans on the same surfaces. I don't know if the Solver is particularly good or if the Taubmans is just so bad that anything is good in comparison but I do know I won't ever buy a Taubmans paint again.
