Our take on the Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover Satin

A water-based satin paint for interior and exterior wood, metal, plaster, masonry and unglazed ceramic. It hides surface imperfections well and resists chipping and yellowing, so it holds its color on trim, furniture and doors. It dries to the touch in 30 minutes and cleans up with soap and water, which makes it easier to live with than oil-based enamels. Reviewers rate it highly for coverage and finish, though some find the satin sheen less forgiving on uneven surfaces than flat paint.
