went on well, looks good.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Painted two coats on cinder block basement exterior walls. was thinner than normal which seemed to help it "soak" in to the block. To early to know how well it will waterproof as we have not had rain yet. I'm confident in behr products.

    Smooth application. Nice choice of colors
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have used competitor product previously in many homes that I have owned. I have had decent luck but after reading reviews of this product I decided to try it on basement shower room walls. Goes on smoothly and ofor is at a minimum. Great coverage. I am waiting the 14 days before use. Dampness in corner gone. Musty smell gone. Will review again after using shower

        Easy to apply, great moisture sealer, nice color. I do suggest vigorous mixing - we had a 5 gallon bucket & was mixed with a paddle & it didn’t cover as much as we anticipated. We realized it was not adequately mixed. Second bucket, a power mix was used - much better application.

          Used this in a crawl space for both formed concrete walls AND the floor. Although not recommended for floors, my crawl space will get zero traffic. The crawlspace also has a lot of exposed ledge, making more traditional crawl space liners impractical to install. This coupled with a crawl space dehumidifier has eliminated ALL must smell in our home, and made it much healthier. Stopped 95%+ of water infiltration. Did three coats with a sprayer due to impossible access.

          Only great spray coat- DryPlus
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very familiar with basement sealing products. DryPlus passes Pressure and mold resistance,unlike other products. It is the only product in the market that can easily be used with a paint sprayer without clogging. DryPlus penetrated pores in the wall and locks the coating into them and being flexible unlike other coatings that are mostly fillers.

            Easy to apply, mixed well, dries well. Color is great. Applied to generally smooth wall with some preexisting paint and some irregularities, found that it covers much more than they say (1 gal -125 sq ft for rough surfaces). Your mileage may vary but I got a great bang for my buck.

            Needed to cover a poured concrete basement wall that was severely bubble pimpled when poured and was now showing signs of penetration on the inside. Followed the directions of cleaning the wall with a stiff brush, used a napped roller to cover the wall, twice to get all the low spots evenly. Have had two rain storms since applying and no signs of moisture on the inside walls.

                The product was good. However, the packaging was not. Who ever mixed the paint did not clean off the top and there was paint all over the can. Good thing there was a plastic bag around it but still very very messy to open

                  Phenomenal paint
                  I bought this to waterproof my basement block walls and it works great. Goes on very smooth. Just note that it needs to be stirred very well before you begin painting

                          It's quite thin so you need a lot of coats. But the bottom line is that it didn't work.

                          Hello there,

                          Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the paint was thin and did not cover as expected. It is not normal for the paint to be too thin, and it typically covers in two coats. 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!

                          Regards,

                          Giovanna Behr

                          I would recommend the paint but not the color. The paint was very workable and covered the square. footage well. The color is terrible, the gray is more like a whimpy gray or a light blue. Who ever called it Power Gray needs to go to the eye doctor along with his supervisor that approved the naming of the color. Love the quality of the paint but very disappointed in the color. My mistake for buying this online, I never would have bought it if I knew the color was so bad. This web page is also bad. I tried to change the approve from Yes to No, but it doesn't change.

                          Hi Joe,
                          I'm glad you like the coverage of the paint. However, if the color is not what you thought, it would need to be re-coated with a color you like. If you need any assistance with your project, or have any questions, please feel free to reach out directly to our Customer Care Department. Have a great rest of your day - Vince Behr

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Behr's waterproof paint and I'm very pleased. It went on smoothly, covered completely and does a great job of keeping out moisture in my garage. No more musty smell! I enjoy my garage space more than ever! Thanks for a great product, Behr!

                            Great coverage
                            Easy to apply, second coat was even better. Because it's a sealer paint, I was expecting a more glossy finish. Did not like the color, ordered gray and my wife and think it looks more like a light blue. Cleans up well. Really disappointed in the color.
