I ordered 1-gal. to test on a section of weathered fence (Note - first used Spray&Gone to remove some algae - another great product). I was pleased with the newly painted section and have ordered a 5-gallon container to continue. Based on how far the 5-gal. goes I will determine how much additional paint is needed to finish the job. A 9” pad for painting rough surfaces worked best. Roller for rough surfaces was a bit messy. Cut in areas with a 3” brush. I expect to get another 3-5-yrs. after painting the fence before replacing.

This paint is amazing! It dries very fast and has a great solid coverage we went with black for our front door and garage door and I’m in love. I use BEHR for all of my projects and we’re always happy with the results.

Not just for walls
This ended up looking great when re-finishing my banister. I didn't want anything high-gloss and was drawn to the stain-resistance for such a high travel area. It covered well over a dark wood and so far, so good on the stain resistance. It' been up for about a month, and so far, so good!

    Thick, clumpy and dried too fast
    The paint was too thick and dried to fast. If you go over the coat it will come off the wall and clamp and come right back on your roller! One coat will come off as quickly as it went on! Don’t waste your money, buy regular paint and do two coats and save yourself some frustration. Most reviews mention two coats anyways. No I have to sand my wall completely, add water to thin out the expensive paint and re-paint again! A tiny bathroom painting project that should have lasted for couple of hours is turning into a nightmare

      I bought this paint because I used it on someone else's house and really liked the way it covered. I didn't give it a 5 because I just got done painting today and I'm not sure how it will hold up in Florida weather.

      The color is very warm and makes the black marble countertops in the kitchen 'pop'. The white windows look really good. Love the contrast.

      Store mixed the color and it did not match the sample color (small Jar) that was mixed by Home Depot. 5 gals waste. Painter and I thought that it would dry to the correct color after he painted my home exterior. Went back to HD and they made it right. Now I'm out the extra labor. $$$$ very dissatisfied with Home Depot. Home is suppose to be the same color as the building in back.

      Bought the Emerald Sherwin William's initially, which is approx. $30 more a gallon, very disappointed in that this paint did lousy 1 coat coverage. Switched to Marquee and it went on smoother w/ excellent 1 coat coverage.

      I have purchased a gallon of Marquee and it was everything I expected with that price tag. I got one gallon and it covered the space I needed it to and in one coat! Really does cover stains and discoloration.

        Behr Marquee paint did not perform as advertised or guaranteed. Supposed to be one-coat, several areas require a second coat. Very disappointed. I intend to go back to Home Depot to see if they will honor the guarantee. If I buy Behr in the future it will be the Premium, which I have used before. The Marquee is not any better and not worth the additional cost.

        Hello Chester,
        Thanks for taking the time to review our Satin Enamel Exterior Paint and Primer in One. I’m sorry to hear it didn’t meet your coverage expectations. I know how disappointing it is to spend unplanned time on a project and I can assure you it’s not the experience we want any of our customers to have. The one-coat hide is guaranteed when painting over a previously coated surface with a color from the selected collection. Porous surfaces and underapplication can lead to additional coats. For further assistance, please feel free to reach out directly to our customer care team. We’d love to help! Best, Roxana N. Behr

        This paint covers well and lasts. The only issue I had was fading from the sun. I painted the house six years ago and there was some fading It became obvious when I started to touch up some spots and it did not match I am repainting the house. Now

        Best stuff I ever used, one coat wonder, durable, stain resistant, easy application and saves me on labor as a painting contractor. My painters love working with it too. Also, this stuff has a nice luster to it that makes it look clean after applied. Hands down best stuff.

        Love this paint, brushes and rolls well and dries smooth. Sticks to anything and is almost like a plastic coating, very durable. I've been using it for years. A little expensive but worth it.

        As a proffesional painter who is very fond of the Marque Interior paint and recommend it to all of my customers. I was a little displeased when i tried the Marque Exterior. I expected the same quality formula that you know will actually cover in one coat to be in the exterior version they market the exterior to be the same as interior but it is not. It does not guarantee one coat perfection in all colors apparently but its at the same price and they market the product to make you think theyre the same. Which is why I would recommend valspar duramax 365 instead. Its as close as you can get to a one coat with excelpwnt pigmentation and it comes in a 5 gallon bucket as well.

        We would give it more stars if we could. This is the second house that we have painted with Marquee and it is truly worth the extra cost. Even our painter on our latest project was impressed.

        Goes on smooth, dries fast, and covers like a down blanket! We have an outdoor covered porch that was finished on the underside with bare wood pine beadboard. We used a bit name paint stores best outdoor paint and used four coats of Duration Super White, and called it a job well done. Unfortunately, a year later, we started noticing the knots in the wood starting bleeding through. It got progressively worse, and we knew that we had to cover it up. Painting it white again was not an option. The cover paint would have to be as dark or darker than the knots that were bleeding through. Since the porch floor was grey and the color scheme was already in a color scheme that called for greys to be incorporated, we decided on a color called Magnet in the Behr Marquee. It turned out AMAZING! One coat coverage over most of the ceiling, with needing a brush touch up for the beadboard lines and seams. We could not be happier with the paint and the performance. Needless to say, we will not be going back to that "paint store".

        Purchased this "top of the line" paint for a new front door. Despite the one coat claim, it did not live up to the expectation. After four coats it began to properly cover the already primed door. I would not recommend this paint.

        Hi paintagain,

        Thank you for your review, and I am sorry to hear it took four coats to get full coverage; that's quite excessive and isn't normal at all. The paint should have covered in one coat when going over a previously painted/primed wall, and when using a color from our One-Coat Collection. It concerns me that this wasn't the case for you, and to report the color name and ID used, please reach out to us directly; we can then look into turning this experience around for you. -Edith Behr

        I'm a professional builder with over 25 years in the field. I joke and tell people that I have 25 years in the field but 40 years of experience because I put in 80 hours a week on average. I take on several paint projects for residential and Commercial properties and I'm always recommending Behr Marquee as a premier quality paint. Not just because it takes me less time with fewer coats, but I know I'm leaving my client with the highest quality product that I can provide. My Behr rep, John Flinn, is always very helpful with getting orders taken care of correctly and promptly. Highly recommend Behr paint. Benjamin DiMeglio BDCO Builders Inc. Orlando, Florida
