I received my sample order in a short amount of time and I'm very pleased with it. Exactly what I ordered and the quality of color is awesome.
Tried the samples, first. They came promptly and had a good amount to try out to see the best color choice. Love that the stain is eco-friendly.
Ordered some color chips for my dining room and the process was super simple and colors came in the mail really fast.
My husband spent about 18 hours of time, 1 gallon of primer, and 3 gallons of yellow paint to come out with a blotchy, horrible looking room. We are not strangers to painting. We have painted 5 different rooms in our house before this small nursery. We have used yellow paint in the past. We have never had such a bad experience! This room, like all the others we have painted before had white walls. Prior to painting, we cleaned the walls as we always do. We did not apply primer (we have never had to apply primer with any other paint). The first coat of paint should have been a red flag. First off, it was clear that the calculator used on the website was off. We were going to need much more paint than the website had suggested even for this small nursery. On top of that the walls were - how do I describe it - gross looking. They looked dirty. I actually sent an email to customer service and they explained that with this yellow color, primer was a necessity. They were very responsive, and even added a gallon of primer to our order. (Positive customer service experience is the reason I left 2 stars instead of 1.) A week later when the primer and more paint arrived, my husband applied the primer. It looked GREAT the coverage was GREAT. None of the streaky yellow showed through, and it looked better than the white walls we painted over. Then over the next week he painted 6 more coats of the yellow paint on top of the primer. We are out of paint now, but the walls are still streaky. Not only that but the color of the paint, even in the lighter spots is about 3 shades darker than what we ordered. We compared it to both the swatch and the color on the lid of the paint can, and though they are the same shade our walls are MUCH darker. Now we are out $240 and will need to repaint the room with some other brand. I'll probably have to do it while pregnant because my husband is done wasting 18 hours of his life. (So much for saving us from "harmful fumes".)
Seems it sat on a shelf pre mixed. Very thin and watery. Bought better paint at Walmart. Don't waste your money or time
Ordered ECOS paint numerous times over the past several years-they always deliver high quality paint, shipped the day after I place an order!
The paint had no odor. Was exactly the color I wanted. Arrived on time. And was a great consistency so two coats was only needed around the trim.
It looks like I chose the wrong colors/samples. I will admit, the colors are completely different than the pics online. Frustrating.
This product is a game changer. No fumes. Easy to apply. Excellent finish. I'm very pleased to have found this product.
I ordered color chips and they came very quickly and I had no issues. I love the colors and the fact that their paint is eco friendly.
The colors looked exactly as they did online, they came very quickly through the mail, they were great color swatches.
Website is user friendly--easy to compare paint colors and order paint samples. Samples were received quickly and a good size to determine color.
The website was very informative about the different types of paints. Shipping was very quick after putting in the order.
Easy to use, great free samples. Big selection of colors.
Samples arrived promptly and were accurate. It says I have to enter 50 characters, so here is my filler.
I have MCS and only use Ecopaints. We have painted our whole house inside with Ecopaints and now some of our camper!

Answer: It is absolutely a fantastic small business - please use them

Dear Alexis,
We are sorry that you did not have a perfect experience with our products, and we did try to help you with your project. As you note, we sent a gallon of tinted primer to help with the finish of the bright yellow paint that you chose (the entire paint industry recommends using a tinted primer for such vivid yellow colors and this is noted on our website too).
In terms of the coverage, your account is confusing. The area being painted in the nursery was 300 square feet, which would certainly require two gallons (of anyone’s bright yellow paint) to complete (two coats). Initially you tried to paint the room with a single gallon, anticipating applying two coats (for a spread rate of 600 square feet per gallon). The second time around you applied six coats from two gallons of paint. That would be an equivalent spread rate of 900 square feet per gallon – which is unheard of.
With regard to the final color of the walls, the dots on the can are created from the paint inside it and, as such, are a true representation of the color of the paint in the can. If the color on the wall is different then something must have been introduced during application.
Alexis, we are sorry that you did not have the perfect experience with our products but remain unsure of the cause of the problems.
Kind Regards,
Your ECOS Team
