Great coverage on plaster and gyprok
Summer apply gyrok was dry within an hour to begin 2nd coat, whole house ceilings & walls 2 coats each, can't fault it paint does same job as the expensive paint. I did find however this paint with a grey tint the smell was over powering, and also bought the same paint with a beige tint the smell was very minimal, if your on a tight budget don't be put off by this brand it does a great job. I believe this brand of paint is Taubmans by the label the assistant put on my paint tin.

Waste of time and money.
I didn't buy this paint, my client did, well now it's costing the client more as it is so lacking in pigment it needs twice as many coats, I bought Dulux today to speed up Cornice painting, what a nice change. Decided to just use this Spring ceiling white for the ceilings.....Next to the Dulux Sprint white looks yellow, can't wait till I finish this can and never see it again. I also washed a mark of a part that was painted days ago...surprise, the paint washes of too. Buy good paint and do a better job quicker.

I thought it was bad but I was wrong!!
I’ve been looking to repaint my room, I’ve had the same hot pink colour ever since I was in year 4! I looked at the reviews and was really hesitant about buying the paint but I decided to take the risk and buy it. This is one of the best cheapest paint I’ve ever bought, it took three layers of paint but the results were completely worth it! For its price range, it’s such a good paint but be careful it tends to drip a lot but it washes out with water. This was my first time doing a big project like this by myself and it was soo much easier than I thought ! I really recommend this paint if you’re willing to do the extra work for cheaper. I rate it a 10/10

Cheap...but doing said job.
Look I took the chance & purchased 1 can from Bunnings for $15.
So fat it has done a great job 2 coats kitchen, dining & will finish with loungroom. Thinner but 2 coats has given me a good job. I won't buy this again tho & will purchase a better quality for the rest of the ceiling but happy with said results.
Using the undercoat & have no issues with this either & have used 2 cans so will continue with the undercoat ATM.
I am using Taubmans for the top coats & it's brilliant on the walls. Walpamur for the white feature walls & doors & tri...
Read morems. Overall Spring is cheap but I am happy with the results for $15. I will add tho & quiet possible this has alot to do with why I believe this is decent for the money compared to other members......my walls are timber & ceilings mostly are timber as well (Qlder) & the ceilings that are not timber are a 1970s fibro (non asbesto) quiet possible as to why this paint is working for me compared to other reviews.Purchased in for $15.

Save money but wastes time
Coverage is poor.
It is very cheap but be prepared to do 4 coats for a job where you expect to need 2.
If you want to save money and have plenty of spare time, go for it.

Please Dont Buy This Paint
This paint is absolute rubbish. It is like water so it dries quick. You need extra coats to cover and even then it looks chalky on the walls. One wipe will remove this paint making it impossible to go without repainting.
I have purchased 5 tins and painted several rooms before realizing just how nasty this paint is. I painted my mothers room for when she came to stay with us and now concerned about her even sleeping in the room. The smell wasn't like normal paint smell. I could never be so mean as to recommend this paint to anyone. It ju...

A nightmare!
Painted 2 coats on the previously painted walls inside our house, looked fantastic until I tried to remove some finger marks - the paint came off! I had to repaint the entire wall. Not happy at all.

Good for the price.
Much better than I expected. Reasonably thick paint which rolls on fine. Other reviewers say this paint is thin like water. I didn't see anything like that, even before stirring it.
It isn't as pure white as Dulux base white (eg ceiling white). It's a bit warmer.

Worst Paint Ever
Purchased the paint from bunnings for a quick freshen up of my house.
I could not get the paint on the roller evenly which meant I could not get a descent coat and finish with out paint dripping all over the floor.
I then bought a brand name paint and painted another room.
The Spring paint took 4 coats to get the same pigment as the brand name paint.
I wish I read all these reviews before making the mistake of wasting hours on a product that should not be called paint.

I don't think it can be called paint.
Wish I tried it before buying 18L of the stuff just wasted 2 hours painting 2 half walls in a powder room. Paint is really thick and tacky getting the roller to roll is a workout and if you go over the same spot twice it just comes back off the wall it's like painting with varnish. I will be going to masters to get paint tomorrow bunnings just lost a weekly customer i don't even want to see that place i'm so discussed they are selling this "paint" it is that much of a nightmare.

Happy
I have been painting my interior jceilings and walls with this paint. I have found it’s easy to apply with a brush or roller with a nap of 12. Any less and it doesn’t cover well. I am happy with the results I am achieving. Better than I expected for the price.

Garbage
Absolutely the worst paint I’ve ever dealt with in my years of being a DIY homeowner. What it saves you in dollars it’ll cost you in time and effort.
The paint is thick goop that is impossible to apply adequately or evenly, and/or as another reviewer commented, is basically transparent.
Unless the surface you’re painting is the exact same white and with no discolouration you’ll need to apply many coats.

Really thin and runny, so many coats needed.
We bought this product because it was cheap. Not surprisingly it's cheap because it's hopeless. We were painting over patterned wallpaper and previously painted camel coloured plasterboard. After five coats on one section of wall the pattern still shone through and we weren't sure another couple would cover it completely. Since 7+ coats was going to be ridiculous we went and bought Haymes flat ceiling white which required two coats in total.
All up we estimated that we'd have spent the same amount on paint but using Spring would take 3-4 times longer to apply.
