Q:I plan to stick with the solid stain. However, I am considering switching from the cedar color to a grey. Would I need to strip all of the cedar solid color off first? Or could I just wash and prepare like I typically do?

        Yep. It's not "Redwood" It's ORANGE.
        I wish I had read the reviews before purchase. I wanted a redwood color. The sample shows redwood. The can shows redwood. But the paint is NOT redwood. It's "orangewood". Like everyone else, after opening I went ahead and used it, thinking it was an optical illusion. Nope. It looks the same on the fence as it does on the can. I have a picture here of the old weathered fence that was stained redwood 10 years ago, next to the new fence painted with Redwood 330.

        Hello, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the color did not turn out as expected. I can understand your disappointment. You have the option of coating over it with another color. We appreciate you sharing your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance. Our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Giovanna Behr
          Very Orange
          My deck wood was prepared properly…power washed and had not been previously stained with any other color. The stain was easy to apply, but the result looks like I painted my deck bright orange. The color is nothing like what was shown on the store displays or in the pamphlet or the picture on the can. The only thing I can think of to do is find a stain with much more brown pigment in it to cover up the orange, but I don’t see that color option made by Behr. I did not plan for the expense or time to do this job twice. It’s extra disappointing because I have always used Behr paints and stains. They should not be advertising that this stain is a light tan when it is VERY orange.

          Hi Quinn, thank you for your review. I'm terribly sorry to hear your color doesn't look as expected. That is not the experience we want for our customers, especially compared to the previous positive results with our products. Our Semi-Transparent Waterproofing Stain & Sealer is influenced by the original tone and color of the wood, which can impact the finish. To fix the issue without removing the stain, I recommend coating the deck with our Solid Color Waterproofing Stain & Sealer. It will provide an opaque finish in the color of your choice. Alternatively, you can remove the stain by stripping or sanding. Then, wash the surface with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner before restaining with your desired color once dry. I recommend checking out the color Padre Brown ST-105. You can apply the stain on a small inconspicuous area to test the color before proceeding. Nonetheless, your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can learn more about your project and assist. We look forward to hearing from you! -Lina Behr
            Color not what we thought
            Disappointed how the color turned out on our new deck. It’s a bit too orange-ish for us. While we like UT, not a fan of the Cedar Naturaltone color.

              Terrible color
              This is a rust-colored paint. The finished color looks very very different than the outside of the can, as you can see from the photo. It in no way resembles actual wood. Very unhappy with how it turned out.

                Behr Premium Waterproofing Stain & Sealer
                Highly Recommend. Stained deck in November 2021. Still looks good March 2024. Initially it appeared very orange. Weathering subdued orange to red-brown hue over a few months. Deck is large Southwest facing exposed to sun, rain and wind tunnel through property. This is best stain I have ever used. Previously I stained deck annually. With this stain looks like its going to be every 3 years because I wont re-stain again until Fall 2024. It took longer to cure than label indicated. I let it cure for two days before using and I followed all the prep guidelines. Inconvenient but worth the hassle.The deck is 20 years old and I got tired of doing this maintenance every single year, so thanks Behr Premium. You made my life a lot easier.

                    Didn’t last a year
                    Cleaned and prepped deck as directed. Didn’t even last through one winter before starting to peel.

                    Hi Toni, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear the stain did not last up to one winter. I can understand your disappointment since the paint isn't performing as expected. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we want to help. To fix this, I recommend removing the loose coating, sand the edges smooth, clean with our All-One-Wood Cleaner No. 063 (which helps with adhesion), and touch up. When dry, apply a very thin coat of stain over the entire surface for uniformity. Please feel free to reach out to us directly for further assistance. Our customer care team is ready to help! -Alex Behr
                      Behr sucks since it’s Home Depot now
                      Yes we have a dog but the dog is never up on the railing. The wood was new, one year cured, cleaned and dry. Spend $800 on crappy paint the Handymam said was the best and only thing he ever uses. Well that has changed. However my deck was new and looks crappy thanks to Behr. Tried to communicate with smarty pants in the paint department but he was a smarty pants old man who treated me like a dumb female. He immediately told me I did something wrong before asking any questions. Rude!!

                        Nice color. After painting, it surprised me at first at how orange the color looks but after about a month, it actually doesn't look too bad. Still a little too much on the orange spectrum for me, but depending on what look your going for, it does the job. Make sure to put 2-3 coats for outdoor use.
