Chalks after two weeks. DO NOT BUY!
Bought to paint the exterior of our house. Painted using a sprayer and after two weeks it has chalked. Do not buy this paint. On my way back to my Home Depot for a refund.

Hi William, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear you had this experience using our Exterior Marquee Flat Paint. That is not normal and not the level of performance to be expected. To fix this, I recommend gently cleaning the surface with soap and water to remove the chalk or dust residue. A power washer can be used at a low setting for this. Once dry, I recommend applying a recoat to this area. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our customer care team is happy to help you! -Randy Behr

    Hello, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the paint is peeling and bubbling. That is not typical, and I can understand your disappointment. I recommend removing the loose coating, sanding the edges smooth, and cleaning the surface. Once dry, touch up the bare spots and recoat if needed for uniformity. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Lina Behr

      Great paint
      I have painted my house with this paint over 4 years ago . It’s been power washed 3 times and still looks brand new. I just bought a shed so I picked up the same paint . It’s a wonderful product

      This highly rated paint faded in less than a year. So disappointing. Yes, it covers with one coat but what does that matter if you have to repaint so soon? The beautiful tan color we picked out became a harsh mustard. I was told the reds faded. I actually thought I had bought the wrong color to touch up but after removing our address plate, I could see the original paint vs the faded paint. Now I have to repeat all the work I did, not to mention the money wasted on the paint.

        Love this yellow!
        I have a blue cape cod home and was looking for the perfect sunny yellow to paint my front door... Yellow Jubilee was the color we selected and we love it. Great coverage too!

          Not one quart
          Their one quart paint is only 28 fluid ounces. That’s technically false advertising since 1 quart should be 32 fluid ounces. Paint itself is good just wish it was honestly advertised.

              It came out white
              Im super bummed. I thought this was going to be a subtle gray but instead it is white. SO white it matches my white ceiling. Not like the images provided online. Im so bummed. So much money and labor into a color that doesn't match the description. Two gallons worth of it. Image attached is still in progress of paint.

              Hi ss1234321, thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear that the color did not turn out as expected. Typically, the lighting and surroundings in the room influence the way the color will turn out. It is a great idea to sample colors first.

                Best paint out there
                Painted th exterior of my house with Night club In Marquee exterior matte. Used a sprayer without having to thin (Graco Magnum X7) and it covered well. Did not have to back roll as some have mentioned here and no issues. Love the color and the contrast it has to the white trim on my house. Now can someone climb on my roof and paint my dormer ;)

                  Absolutely awesome paint!
                  We had these ugly yellowish walls in the house we purchased. We chose this color because it has a very light gray tint to it. Looks fabulous on the walls. Covers well in one coat but much nicer with two coats. I have to laugh at the negative reviews because of the color. It clearly shows the color has a grey tint. Anyway, extremely happy with results!

                    GORGEOUS
                    We used this paint on our backyard fence. It's great quality and looks so pretty! In the sun it looks more brown, but in the shade it actually looks dark gray.

                      We bought this paint and paid extra for the premium brand. Our color was #N380-4 Strong Winds, Flat Exterior. We painted our home in 2016. Now after just 3 years I re-painted the trim on our garage because we had painted the house trim the same color and the garage was a contrasting color. I'm very disappointed in the fading that has occurred in just 3 years time. (see photo). I've been noticing the garage color lately and questioning my color choice but now I see that the original color has faded quite noticeably. And yes I stirred the can very well. It seems it can't take the California sun!

                      Hi Woodbutcher, we appreciate your feedback. And, we're sorry to hear your paint had faded so soon; that's not the experience we want our customers to have with our products. To get your project back on track, we would recommend cleaning your surface, allowing it to dry for at least 24 hours, and applying a fresh coat of paint to your entire surface to uniform your color and application. Customer satisfaction is important to us. So, please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any questions or need additional assistance. We're always happy to help. Have a wonderful day! -Joanna Behr

                        Marquee has left a beautiful finish on this 100 plus year old Historic Building ( The Eagles Nest of Jerome)! After 15 years since the last paint and extensive prep the 1st coat soaked in and sealed the old lumber and the second coat gave it a beautiful finish. I will use this product again!

                        I have been using Behr paint for years but this one is not for me. I used it when it first came out and was disappointed at the coverage and the way it went on the walls. So as it has been a while I decided to give it another go and I am still not a fan. Don't like the way it goes on, don't think it covers any better than regular Behr. Just not a fan.

                        Hello Housepainter,
                        Thanks for taking the time to review our Flat Exterior Paint and Primer in One and for being a loyal Behr customer. I’m sorry to hear this product didn’t meet your coverage expectations. I can assure you it’s not the experience we want any of our customers to have. In general paint colors cover 1-2 coats. Porous surfaces and drastic color changes may require additional coats unless painting with a guaranteed one-coat color. For further assistance, please feel free to reach out directly to our customer care team. We’d love to help! Best, Roxana N. Behr

                        High quality paint. I used this to paint the exterior wood on my house. I had not painted this wood in over ten years. This paint covered the wood in a few strokes. The color is nice. I'm hoping this will protect my wood for years.

                        I bought this product to use on my house in Surprise, AZ. To spray the paint, we used the Graco X19 sprayer. We did not have to add any water to the paint and the paint went on extremely well. We are beyond happy with the color and the quality of the paint. This is our first time painting our house and from now on we will always use Marquee paint.

                          For the cost I would have expected to work as recommended. The person at the counter stated that this would be a one coat paint on raw stucco. Turns out she was wrong. The color ended up in different shades once applied due to the paint not truly covering the stucco below. Go with the cheaper product and buy extra for that second coat.

                          The paint covers very well in just one coat. Since we were painting over an exterior that had been scrapped to the bare wood in some places, but had mold damage in other places, I decided to paint with Kilz first. Followed that with just one coat of the Behr Marquee flat white paint and saw no need for another coat.
