“Best Paint Ever!!!”
We just moved into a new home and have been doing a ton of painting. We've used farrow and ball, Sherwin Williams, and Benjamin Moore paint and Backdrop was by far my favorite to paint with. The color is gorgeous in person. This paint covered extremely well, didn't drip, didn't streak, was extremely smooth to paint with and overall was a great experience. The paint dried quickly and didn't give me a headache like most paints with a ton of fumes. I'm so glad that I was introduced to this company. I will be buying from here again!
“Absolutely Thrilled / First Class!”
I’ve thought and reflected, but I don’t have a single complaint. The entire Backdrop experience was simple and more elegant than I expected. I ordered paint and supplies at three o’clock in the morning and it was delivered the next day. Felt like witchcraft. The paint went on beautifully, everything that I needed came in the delivery, and blissfully, I didn’t have to leave the house. I’ve painted many times in the past, but I’ve never felt like I was having a luxury experience. Already planning my next room!

Great paint and excellent service!
Bottom Line: “Yes, I would recommend this to a friend”I thought I might miss making trips to pick up paint, but definitely do not! I love Backdrop's color selection and shipping is super fast. I've used their paint on almost every wall of my house. It goes on well and after a few months now it's still looking great.
A beautiful romantic color
Bottom Line: “Yes, I would recommend this to a friend”I used the Studio Hours cabinet paint on my dresser drawer and it's stunning! The color is vibrant and unique and it went on so smoothly. The only issue is that when you're using such a small amount for something like furniture, the design of the can led to a lot more spilling down the sides than I have with a standard paint can. (I can see how it's super helpful when using large quantities though!)

Honest Review
Bottom Line: “Yes, I would recommend this to a friend”We’ve used BackDrop for a few projects in the home and I’m always so impressed with the color. The sample tiles match the paint perfectly so you know what you’re getting. Most importantly, I can tell it’s better for my health. Usually after painting for a long time my asthma flares up and I have breathing struggles. When I paint with BackDrop this isn’t the case. I don’t feel nauseous or like I can’t breathe. Bonus points for the packaging which dissolved in water. My kiddo loves playing with those! My only complaint are the containers. There’s a decent amount of paint left in the cans that is difficult to access. If there were a way to open the can completely (and safely - not by cutting it) that would be amazing. It feels wasteful when I could’ve used the rest of the paint to get my trim done instead of opening a new can. Or I’d have to plunge my hand in with a small brush which isn’t ideal. Additionally, the lid gets stuck very easily because of the paint when poured out. I recognize that I could wipe the paint away, but again that feels wasteful. I’m the kind of person that uses everything to the last drop if I can. Especially when it’s a tad pricier.
gorgeous paint always
Bottom Line: “Yes, I would recommend this to a friend”beautiful color and excellent paint quality. I love how backdrop's website and content make it easy to envision the color in your space, and the paint is always true to expectations. love the design of the can with the screw top, as well as the biodegradable packaging and fast delivery.
Perfect color
Bottom Line: “Yes, I would recommend this to a friend”Excellent color and applied really well in one coat. I used this in my bathroom so got the semi-gloss finish. Not overly shiny and looks great.
3 coats to paradise
Bottom Line: “Yes, I would recommend this to a friend”I love my Stardust walls. They're bright, dreamy and so weird and bold. The first coat was really thin- and looked like garbage. The next coat still had some thin patches. But coat three really did it. The essentials kit was great packaging, no notes, 100. The paint pail I definitely recommend for borders. However I did order wayyy too much paint based on the Backdrop estimation percentage thing. Like an extra 3/4 of a gallon. That said I'm happy with the overall experience. Thank ya Backdrop peeps

I love the customer experience.
Bottom Line: “Yes, I would recommend this to a friend”The samples were a great size and the paint that I subsequently ordered arrived very quickly. Everything promised was true. I really love the low odor - it didn’t smell like chemicals.
Great
Bottom Line: “Yes, I would recommend this to a friend”The picture doesn't do it justice. I love it! I used Barbie Pink & McQueen black to colorblock my room! While I'm nowhere near a professional painter and did not cut my corners properly, the paint was amazing. The colors looked better than the sample sticker. Great customer service as I asked for tips on how to paint the way I wanted to. I already recommended to others!

Rich Warm Colors!
Bottom Line: “Yes, I would recommend this to a friend”Absolutely beautiful paint colors that cover so well, I used no primer to cover a dark blue with Tanlines and I barely need a 2nd coat! Will be ordering more for other rooms, the smaller color selection is perfect for curating a home color palette!
