Great paint!
Painted my living room and hallway with the flat Scuff Defense. Goes on smoothly, covered spackled areas nicely. Will do the bedroom next.

    Best Latex wall paint
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a contractor who paints many high end homes with pastel colors and grays galore. Clients always ask which paint is best, I always use Behr Ultra premium. It covers well and keeps it lustre for a very long time, it’s durable and affordable. The colors are amazing and the paint full of sealer which gives good protection from elements and normal wear and tear. Highly recommend this product over any other latex paint.

        Great coverage.
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently painted a room I used for child care for many years and turned it into a family room. I used Behr paint and the coverage and clean up was so simple. So happy with the results and the choice of colors was terrific.

          Best paint ever!
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Behr paints for all my projects ever since discovering it about 15 years ago. I will never use any other paint. Just got done painting a bedroom with Lilybud and it looks fantastic. Brightened up a small dark room.

            Great coverage
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried tons of paints, but always go behr when i need quality paint. I prefer matte paint, but traditionally it's not very durable. Not the case with this paint, i used it for my kitchen walls and my cabinets and it's holding up great!

              Amazing matte finish
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paint has an excellent matte finish. We painted steel beams and poles in our basement and the outcome was flawless.

                  Why Discontinue Matte Base 1750??
                  Why would you discontinue this paint. It provides a wonderful finish and is easily cleaned. Just started a project with it 3 weeks ago and now it can’t be found in any stores. Associates should have told me it would be discontinued soon and quantities would be limited. Very disappointed.

                  Hi DeeJ - Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you're not able to find this product in stores anymore! Our Ultra Interior Matte has been replaced with our Ultra Scuff Defense which will offer the same coverage and stain-blocking abilities; however, it will dry to an even more durable finish. Our Ultra Scuff Defense will dry to a slightly flatter finish, so we recommend continuing your project with our Marquee Interior Matte which will provide an identical sheen to our Ultra Interior Matte. I've also reached out to you via email so help you with this further. Thank you again for your feedback, and I hope to hear back from you! - Sara
                    Great paint for a wall mural
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the paint we used to create our Dr. Seuss bedroom for our kids starting almost 10 years ago. We bought a TON of paint sample cans in this finish to create the final product. 10 years later, it still looks amazing!

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always used Behr paints in my home but when I opened my photography studio in 2014, I tried another paint by the suggestion of a pro painter...bad idea...I repainted with Behr paints and never looked back...I’m presently painting with Interior matte as I write for my new studio...glides on great, cleans up great and lasts forever!!! Just the best for me and all my painting projects and backgrounds!

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not a big fan of shiny walls love the low sheen of the matte from Berh ultra. Love the fact that it is washable, I only buy behr paint

                            Whitewash oak
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought whitewash oak back in September to cover our master bedroom. I love it so much and so does my husband. I went back and bought more to paint our guest bedroom. Its the perfect gray and goes well with white, cream and black. It coveres extremely well one gallon covered our large master.

                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Redoing our whole house using Behr paint. This paint goes on nice and smooth with our sprayer and has made our home look like a brand new house.

                                Easy to apply
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I painted a spare bedroom recently. I love how smooth a flat finish is for walls. It goes on smooth and was covered in 2 coats. I liked how easy to mix it was and the quality of the paint. I would absolutely use this finish and brand again.

                                  Good Paint
                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid paint. Has a stronger smell than others but has a really nice finish when dry. Watch for runs as this paint does drip more than competitors in the price range but the finish is better so for years of looking at the paint vs being more careful when painting it is worth it. All Behr paint seems to be off in sheen vs everybody else. So if you want eggshell go Matte, Satin go Eggshell, ext.

                                    Paint and primer
                                    I have tried bear paint and primer on several occasions and I’m always really disappointed with the result. It was much better 10 years ago when it wasn’t paint and primer when it was just topcoat and primer separate I would not buy this product again

                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a very light color to go over brown in the hallway and living and dining room only had to do two coats and it’s completely covered!

                                        Matte is really flat
                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought 2 gallons of Ultra Matte finish medium base paint tinted to Renoir Bisque. We were painting over white. Unfortunately, it didn’t cover adequately in one coat (although in most places you couldn’t tell until it was dry). Had to buy a third gallon to finish the job. Overall very satisfied with the easy of application and properties of Behr Ultra. If it had covered in one coat would have given it 5 stars

                                            Ultra does not cover as well as Premium Plus
                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Home Depot Paints for 15 years. I liked Premium Plus because of good coverage but sheen of PP flat was higher than regular, causing touch up problems. Now I am using Ultra. I am disappointed as to coverage. I have never had to use 2 coats of Premium Plus to cover a mark on the wall. But clearly with Ultra I need to use a primer and then Ultra to cover the odd blemish. Of course I can use Marquee, but why is Ultra poorer coverage than Premium Plus? And as to sheen, I am completely confused as to how to match flats between the different products, i.e. original HD sold about 10 years ago, Premium Plus which had a higher sheen in flat, Ultra which I think is actually lower sheen in flat than PP and Marquee, which I haven't tried yet. I have been told both that the sheen difference related to the addition of primer but also that the difference was the switch to acrylic.

                                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this paint 3 weeks ago to paint over a baby blue and lime green hallway at the center I work for. It only took 2 coats to cover the pre-existing paint and dry time was fast with no odor.

                                                    Made such a difference!
                                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 16 years with the new build boring white walls, went with Behr Granite Gray in matte finish for the walls and ceiling, and Behr White 52 in semi-gloss finish for the trim. I was so pleased with the master, that I have now painted most of the remaining rooms! Looks like a new house! Still neutral, but just enough contrast to really pop! As a beginner painter, I found that the product was easy to work with, but did require 2 coats on the walls and ceiling.
