What people are saying about Glidden Premium exterior paint in reviews on Home Depot, Walmart, Lowes, and paint forums is generally positive for its value, though opinions vary on durability compared to premium brands. Many DIY homeowners praise Glidden Premium exterior for affordable price, typically 35 to 50 dollars per gallon, good coverage in one to two coats for light colors, easy application with brush and roller, low odor, and decent mildew resistance for up to 15 years claimed. Positive reviews mention it goes on smoothly, covers well over previously painted surfaces, and offers good color selection with one-coat coverage for many neutrals. Negative reviews mention it may require two coats for deep reds, blues, and yellows, and some users report fading faster than premium paints like Sherwin-Williams Duration or Benjamin Moore Aura after 3 to 5 years in harsh sun, and less resistance to peeling in extreme climates. Professional painters often say Glidden Premium is adequate for budget exterior jobs, rental properties, sheds, and fences, but not as durable as premium lines for high-end homes. Consumer Reports rates it mid-tier for fade resistance and cracking. Common advice from reviewers is to properly prep surface, use primer for bare wood, and keep gutters clean to prevent water damage behind paint. Overall sentiment is good value for price but not top tier longevity.
