SuperSpec, ECO-Spec Ben Moore?
Are any of these low price Ben Moore paints suitable for painting inside a house? I have a tight budget and I assume even though these are low cost BM paint they might still be better then Home Depot house brand paint – As I have to paint over a light blue wall I expect…

No matter what your budget, use a primer before painting. For best BMoore prices, especially when you know your colors and are buying in bulk, go to this store locator, input your zip code, and check only “signature stores”: http://bit.ly/6OETya
I used that Behr Premium Paint with built in primer, from Home Depot. I painted a warm, light beige over a textured, dark green paint and it covered in one coat(using a roller, of course). Don’t skimp on paint… you will buy and paint twice as much!!
Eco Spec is cheap for a reason. It’s crap. I used it and had disastrous results.
Try BM’s ‘Ben’ line if you want less pricey BM paint…though even with that, my supplier recommended three coats of Ben to get the same pigment as two coats of Regal. I used Ben for all the samples but Regal for the final paint job.
You cant afford cheap paint. you spend more time painting than it is worth.
