Customer Reviews for BEHR MARQUEE 5 gal. #M520-2 After Rain Flat Exterior Paint & Primer

I tried a lot of samples before i took the paper from marquee list and got the sample and for the 1st time, color on paper was same as color on sample and walls. MINK HAZE IS my wall colors in eggshell. I have attached a picture for your reference

The color is so intense, I used it to mix but barely needed any at all to make purple or brown paint a rich black. A dab made excellent grays, and I watered it down for details and still had rich color and excellent coverage. I wanted paint that wouldn't fade and would resist the weather as i was painting a mural outside in full sun. Only time will tell, but this product seemed excellent.

The paint is wonderful, shipping was faster than expected. Ordered it on line on the weekend, got it Thursday. One of the buckets leaked inside the bag it was packed in. Maybe some strapping over the lid to help hold it down as UPS throws it down the stairs or whatever they did.

I just finished painting my house. Application was the best of any exterior paint I've ever used, and seemed to encapsulate the siding. It took 2 coats to fully cover, which was disappointing, but if it is as fade and mildew resistant as Behr claims I will be a very happy camper!

Actual paint is MQ EXT PAINT <A> BEHR MQE 4454 FLAT MED 120OZ. I planned on two gallons doing the job but two sides of garage were very dry and thirsty so I got one more gallon. This paint is awesome, it is the top of the line of paint Home Depot sells, but it covered in one coat and made a very old and not painted in 60 years garage look almost brand new. Excellent paint, and a wide array of colors available, this paint more than met my expectations.

This is the 3rd different color in the Marquee line of paints that I have tried and I have to tell you I am not impressed. The first color worked really well the first coat. The second color didn't color in one coat. This one was even worse. I almost had to do 3 coats which is really disappointing because this paint is kind of pricey. I think I will try going to a different store to buy paint if this is the best they can do. The color is gorgeous it just extremely labor intensive.

I just love this "Green Color"; it has a vintage look to the house. It covers great with one coat!

This is an excellent paint. Color is uniform, and coverage is great. I am spraying a white, very heavily textured stucco and find that it does the job with no problems. For the price, you can't do better.

very good cover

Got this in a 5 gallon bucket. Attached the sprayer to it and in under half an hour, our 14'x16' studio was done. It took almost longer to tape out the windows than the actual spraying. The color came out beautifully. We used a single coat and, as you see in the picture, it covered the brown door and the darker blue test color. It is still drying in that photo, so it looks a little patchy. We only painted the doors because they were there and it was easier. They're being replaced in the next couple weeks so we didn't take a lot of care with them.

Although this is a paint & primer paint, I wished I had primed my wall before painting. My outcome color does not look like this color. The end color is actually okay.

The covered of the paint is really good based on my experience using this product it hold pretty good on the caribbean weather.

I ordered two colors of this paint for my outside deck (red and white). This white was very very bright white and excellent for my project. The paint is thick, and goes on thick, so you have to be ready for that. I painted the deck about seven months ago, white was used for the railing and arbor, and this stuff has kept it's brightness. It does layer the wood, so if you hit the wood or like something heavy bumps up against it, it chips it off. The paint doesn't seep into the wood. More of a coat type paint, I guess you can say, which is perfectly fine with me. Coats the wood great, rain doesn't penetrate.

Great paint, painted over dark color and it only took one coat,

Coverage was excellent and thick. A bit pricey even with rebate promotion.

Used the paint for our fence and within two years the paint blistered and peeled off the entire fence. Having to spend endless hours scrapping off the peeling paint from a hundred yards of fence line.

I read that this paint was comparable to Sherwin Williams, Kelly Moore and others so I thought I would give it a try. I did as directed on the can and then painted as directed it came out very nice. I did have to apply a second and third coat in some areas. I think I would have done better had I used a primer first after washing the siding. Overall it is good paint and I probably will use it again. I also used Behr concrete solid stain very nice out come.

This Flat paint finish is the third of 3 finishes I've used in Jet White. It mixes thick like a milkshake. Jet White is my choice because it looks naturally clean and bright. It helps that the Home Depot Paint Department told me they could mix part of my stockpile to another color when I made up my mind about color. This is a versatile color to keep in your personal stockpile, if you want to reserve the right to change your mind ladies! The project I chose to test it on is a sun baked back wall of an aging children's playhouse. The wall was replaced 2 years ago. The paint fades, the wood rots, the bugs attack this wall every year. I liked the consistency of the Flat finish. It applied smoothly and quickly over the dry plywood. It didn't soak into the wall like a cheap paint. The dried results are adequate enough to use one coat. This flat exterior paint will be used on exterior wood house panels. The coverage is good on this dry plywood. I expect the panels to be finished quickly. A better features of Marquee exterior paint is, it dries quickly. That also makes it harder to clean. Every Xmas I pick a room to paint and a premium paint to complete the task. I recommend the Behr Marquee, despite a high price, for coverage and ease of use.

Very happy with the way this came out, it dried quickly and evenly and has been holding up without any fading or chipping so far. I painted a dresser and the dark green goes great with wood floors and brown sheets. A very foresty feel.

I used this outside on concrete to enhance the look of the side of my house where there is no siding. I only wish I would've done it sooner. I barely had to stir it even though it had been sitting several days before I used it. It has a perfect consistency, very creamy but not too thick. The concrete had some bumpy spots and uneven coloring, but the paint evened out how it looks. The photos I'm submitting show how it looked before & after only one coat of paint. Since painting it 3 weeks ago it has had direct sunlight on it every day and it's also rained a few times since, but it still looks great.

So far I am very happy with the paint. Behr Marquee exterior seemed to fit all my needs. I didn't want to have to paint again every few years because of chipping, chalking or color fade. Behr promises that Marquee was made to last. I used it for first for the trim on my shed and since I'm happy with the result will also use it for the trim of the house. It covered very well on wood paint sprayer, brush, or paint roller. I was also impressed that a paint that coats with such protection could have such easy clean up. warm water and elbow grease was all it took I'm confident by my experience with Behr Marquee that is will do what it promises.

This Behr paint covered everything in one coat. We used it on a shed made out of various scrap woods and on our outdoor swing. It covered gloss white without any hint of pale streaks. It covered bright red and blue without any shadowing. The color looks great and even. Goes on smoothly and easily, too. Clean up was a breeze.

When we bought the house, the eaves were still a turquoise color. We bought some "used the wrong base to mix the color" paint cheap because it was going to take many coats of medium priced paint to cover that turquoise (4 to be specific). When I had new roofing put on, they restructured part of the roof leaving some of the old turquoise showing. I used a well known brand name stain blocker paint to cover the turquoise before I paint the eaves. I didn't cover, you can see the lines in the before pictures. While I was doing the fascia boards in the Jet White, I put some of it on the spots of turquoise that still showed through the stain blocker. It covered, see after photos. This paint is easy to apply, makes a nice straight line without skipping and having to go back over that spot again. Thick enough to not drip, unless you are me, but I really didn't drip much. It covers very well, the roofers got a little of the black tar color on a couple of spots, and it covered them with no problem. The new gutter, without washing with acid covered in 2 coats. I used 1/2 gallon to do all the fascia on an 1800 sq ft house.

Once applied, paint cracks and pin holes through out. Had professional painter paint exterior home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was easy to use, covered very well over a black color. Used it to paint my shutters has held up for years.

excellent coverage, color true to sample
