Customer Reviews for BEHR PREMIUM 1 gal. #AE-18 Nomad Brown Urethane Alkyd Semi-Gloss Enamel Interior/Exterior Paint

This is the second time I have used this product to paint old kitchen cabinets and both times they came out beautifully.

I was very impressed with the coverage over such a dark paint. Compare the cupboard to the window frame.

Alkyd is Very versatile. I use it for trim and also cabinets. Sprays on beautifully and also rolls and brushes just as well ,depending on the finish your looking for. Thin coats works best. A favorite with Diversified Painting and Restoration...

This paint work excellent on my kitchen cabinets however I do think it dried much lighter than expected but I was not about to re-sand It leveled beautifully we had a sponge roller application and I will definitely use this product again

Not for regular inside trim work, puts off a lot of fumes recommend only for outside. Very hard to clean up. Great for plastic and metal

I love how my bathroom doors, trim and bar cabinets turned out with this product. Smooth, fast drying -- looks like a professional painter did the work -- when in fact I did it. I highly recommend this product, and will definitely be using it again to change all the brown trim/doors from white in my house.

This paint was fantastic when it first came out - good leveling, nice solid 2 coat coverage. But on a recent job, a whole house repaint where the woodwork and doors were brown, I applied one coat BIN primer/sealer over all trim and doors, then proceeded to paint with Behr Alkyd Semi Gloss ( packaged white), and it took FOUR COATS to achieve solid coverage! Again, this was over a white prime coat! This cost me well over $1,500 in extra labor. I will admit the finished product has a nice look, but due to the poor coverage, I will never purchase or recommend this product again.

I used this paint to refinish my old 1980 cabinets, I think they are either cherry or pine. I rolled it on and it leveled smoothly. Then I added Rust-oleum coffee glaze to the inner groove. Hardware purchased from HomeDepot.com.

Covered well

I used this product on cabinetry to 'try' before I build my kitchen cabinets which we intend on painting. The cabinets came out great! I wish HD would carry color chips in-store (or that one can order on-line) as this color is a little bit 'bluer' than it appears on-line - no one's fault - just the way it is with on-line color. It goes on smoothly - for cabinet work I recommend rolling it on and only brushing (with a good brush) where you have to. I recommend using a paint stirrer attached to a drill to mix as this paint separates pretty readily. I am going to do a trial with a sprayer to see if I can get an even better finish - although the roller applied finish looks really good. Love the fact that it is not oil based, low VOC (although it does have a distinct 'vomit' smell while applying) and clean-up is easy - soap and water. It sticks really well!!! Took me a couple of days to get it off the heel of my hand that I missed in cleaning up - once it dried it was a bear to get off (no pun intended). Verdict? This is the paint I will be using on my kitchen cabinets.

Levels very well with brush, foam roller or airless sprayer. Adhesion is great. Surface dries in a few hours, but takes several days to really harden / cure. I used it for a cabinet paint job and like it so much, I'm using another shade for the next cabinet paint job.

I used this paint for the inside of a bus and two coats covered nicely. I will be getting more for the outside of the bus.

I used various tinted colors of this product to paint furniture for our granddaughters. I spent a lot of time just prepping the furniture, stripping, sanding and patching, before I painted. I sanded a LOT, starting with 60 grit and working my way up to 320, using 3M sandpaper (my favorite). My husband thought I was nuts, but he agreed it was worth all of the prep work when he saw the finished product. I used the best foam rollers Home Depot sold, and the key to a good paint job on furniture is to only paint in one direction with the best foam rollers you can afford. If you've painted a lot of walls like I have, it took a while to get into the habit, but it was definitely worth the effort, with minimal paint strokes as a result. For places where I had to use a paint brush, my go-to brush is always a Purdy angled brush. And as with every paint project, two coats required. It's been about 3 months, and so far the furniture is holding up good. I was happy with the way the paint job turned out, and would recommend this type of paint for furniture. One of my cardinal rules for a successful paint job is to use the best paint rollers and brushes you can afford, and Home Depot has a good selection to choose from. Please note that I am not a professional; this is just a hobby for me.

Lays down great when sprayed.

Very durable paint. Primed then two coats. Used for bath vanity. Let it dry for several days to finally set.

This was my first time using this brand I will continue to use thi s.

did not stick well to oil paint as I was assured that it would.

Very good paint I would recommend

Sorry, but I do believe this is the worst paint I have ever used. I've put 4 coats on some shelves that were actually orange to begin with... and there are still "thin" spots. I don't know what to do to heal it -- like mixing it with another paint... But I sure don't want to order another can of urethane alkyd enamel, especially at this price. Don't waste your time and money!

Terrible paint. I haven’t used Behr trim paint in years because it always gummed up. I was hoping they had fixed the problem but unfortunately that didn’t happened. I was painting trim. Dipped my brush 1/2” into can. Painted 12” portion. Repeated. When my brush overlapped what should have been a wet edge, previous paint glung to the brush and left a gummy mess. In 50 years of painting I’ve never had any other brand of paint do that. Only Behr. For the rest of my life, I’ll buy paint elsewhere.
