<div dir="auto">I know this isn’t strictly “shop talk” - although I could force the issue and say I will store the leftover paint in my shop - but I am not having any luck Googling the topic and am turning to this group in desperation. We recently added some space to our house and I have a fair amount of new ceilings to paint. All new drywall has been, or soon will be, primed. It has been a while since I painted ceilings but I certainly remember how difficult it can be to know what has and has not been fully covered with white paint over white primer. Most manufacturers have color-changing ceiling paint - goes on pink, drys white - which would certainly make the job easier. However, the online reviews of the paint seem to be lower than comparable standard white paint. Moreover, it looks to be difficult to buy the color-changing paint in 5 gallon buckets and the costs would certainly add up if I have to buy it by the gallon. It isn’t a huge difference in the overall scheme of things: it would probity cost about $185 to use the color-changing paint vs. $115 for standard paint. But, I hate to pay more for a lesser product.</div>

<div dir="auto">Does anyone here have any experience/thoughts on the use of color-changing ceiling paint? Is the convenience worth the drawbacks?</div>
