We provided the paint lady a Behr card that we got from Home Depot euro gray Ppu25-17 using Behr Ultra exterior flat Ultra pure white 4850 We expected a Gray color which would tie into our house color. What we got instead was a dull white. So I’m not sure where the we received came from but the label said Not Returnable and since we live about 30 minutes away we decided to use the mixed paint.

Incredible color and product. Steel door was pickled with vinegar then two coats applied. Came out fantastic. The ladies at the paint counter at my local Home Depot suggested this color and paint product and I am happy.

Not happy
Not sure what happened, this 5 gallons of paint is not working. only way to describe it is that it looks like there wasn't enough paint added. After mixing its looking purple and goes on real thin.

    Behr Raven black flat paint with primer gave very good coverage with one coat on deck posts. Will be giving a second coat for longer wear.

    Great color and quality
    Used on our new shed and I just love the color. I also loved the new lid system and the option to use a pourable spout. Easy to use and great quality paint. Also found the Behr website helpful in finding complementary shades to match the trim and door.

    Great color and coverage
    I only needed one coat for my front door. I love the results and it went on beautifully with a roller. Worth every penny.

    Painting on metal BEHR ULTRA
    This paint was nice & thick. The coverage was pretty impressive! I used this paint on metal surfaces & it still went far. I didnt notice much of an odor when using this product.

    First Gallon
    Needed to do some emergency (pre-winter) painting on the north side of the house. Pine porch pillars and wood slat siding and some trim work. It covers bare wood and old paint of a similar color well. I had to paint in a bit colder weather than I would have preferred (40-50 degrees F). It covered well and I had no problem hiding the brush strokes. It cured overnight. I took care not to paint deep into the afternoon so as to prevent "dew fogging". It had skinned up prior to evening dew. Shortly after the paint dried, it got very cold and so far, the paint seems to hold up well. I plan to use this product to run down the entire house this spring. Very happy with it. It stays mixed overnight and very easy to control on the the brush. One of the best paints I've used. Only Four Stars as I haven't had it on more than a few months now. Let's see how it goes this spring.

      Color lighter than glossy version
      I painted exterior door with glossy whale gray. Wanted to switch to matte whale gray. Matte was too light. Have to re-paint again and settle for glossy.

      Hi Cninghm,

      Thank you for your review. Colors tend to look a bit darker with high sheens like semi-gloss and lighter with low sheens like matte. The difference if usually more noticeable with dark colors. I'm sorry to hear that the matte finish didn't work out. Submarine Gray (N470-7) is one shade darker than Whale Gray (N470-6) and may provide the look you're going for in a matte finish.

      Please contact Behr's Customer Care Department for further assistance with this matter. We'd love to find a way to help.

      Kindest regards,

      Doris Behr

          VERY DISAPPOINTED FOR THE PRICE PAID IN THE PAINT, BEHR SUPPORT, AND HD...
          I am very disappointed in this paint for the price paid. 2 years ago I spent over a thousand dollars painting my new garage with this paint. A year later the sunny side had completely faded to gray and the bottom edge had completely worn away due to the rain hitting it. I contacted BEHR about their "guarantee". They said I had to show proof of my original purchase by either receipts or the old cans, and then buy another round of the same paint and send in those receipts as well as pictures of the failed paint.Then, after review, they would reimburse me. Luckily, I keep everything and still had both the old receipts and old cans that most people would have thrown away a year later. So after repainting the garage I also spent close to another thousand dollars painting the house with the same color. This year I installed an air conditioning system and bought some more of the same paint to paint the a/c ducts. I had brought one of the old cans to HD to get the new paint mixed up and it turned out to be a much lighter shade than what was on the house. I brought it back to HD to check if the paint guy had used an incorrect formula and the paint lady insisted that the formula was correct. She offered no explanation of why the color of the new paint was definitely off, refused to mix me up a new gallon, nor offered me any type of refund/credit. At nearly 50 bucks a gallon for this paint including tax and the ubiquitous "pant recycling fee" (which is ridiculous because they won't take the old cans back), I would expect better performance and much better customer support from HD and the BEHR company. I'm using Benjamin Moore next time.

            Easy to apply, limited drip and great coverage. Painted my entire house and color was very consistent from one gallon to the next.

            New plastic paint can
            I’m disappointed the new paint can is made of plastic. The lid and the pour gadget is plastic. We are supposed to be avoiding the use of plastic. How do the chemicals in plastic affect paint? How are these new plastic paint cans going to be reused or properly recycled? If we can paint a wall, we don’t need a pour gadget for “convenience.” It’s not convenient, it’s a waste of energy and resources. We’d already have a paint brush in our hands, because we’re painting. The actions of today will affect our future and generations to come.

            Hi Karin,
            Thanks for taking the time to review our product. Keeping our environment in mind, the new SIMPLE POUR lids are 100% recycled plastic and the new lid does not affect the chemicals in the paint at all. The new spout was made to help make it more convenient to pour the paint into a tray. However, the paint can still be used the traditional way and removed like normal. That way, if you want to paint directly out of the container with your brush, you certainly can. If you'd like, feel free to reach out directly to our Customer Care Department for any questions or concerns you might have. Enjoy the rest of your day, and thanks again for your feedback - Vince Behr

              We had a professional painter paint our dining room wall with Behr Premium Plus Ultra in Matte finish. While he was painting it smelled like new paint but a couple of days later it smelled like a wet dog. It only got worse over the next few days even after my wife ran two fans on the wall and kept the windows open. We mentioned it to Home Depot where we purchased the paint and they had never heard of this. They suggested we work with Behr on this issue. John at Behr suggested that the issue may be related to several other factors unrelated to the paint. He also suggested that we cover it with Kilz primer to get rid of the smell. He did offer to cover the cost of the paint and primer which is the only reason I gave a 2-star rating instead of 1-star. We asked for reimbursement for the cost of the paint and he said that it's their policy not to cover labor costs. The did ask for a sample of the paint to test it for bacteria which we provided. Of course they reported that the test didn't show any problems and they didn't notice any smells after they painted a small swatch. They should have painted an entire wall in their own home and reported back after a week ;) Nevertheless, we put 2 coats of Kilz primer over the wall which removed the dog smell and then purchased another gallon of Behr paint from another Home Depot. We thought that maybe our local store had a bad batch. Speaking of which the both gallons were Batch #1753. On a side note, a year or so earlier we had painted another room in the house with the same Behr paint but that was batch #1473 and it didn't smell. After painting the second round of Behr paint the exact same thing happened as before: smelled fine when wet then a couple of days/weeks later it smelled like wet dog or ammonia. Two months later the smell has lessen but it's not gone.
