I used to love Behr paint!
We just bought a can of Marquee paint for our stairway and hallway in Creamy Mushroom and there were chunks of I don't know what inside the can of paint which was shaken at the store just prior. I had to pick the chunks off the wall with every roller of paint I applied to the wall. I have never had issues with Behr and we've been using this brand from Home Depot for over 20 years. Way too expensive for these issues. I have to say I wouldn't even recommend this product right now. So disappointed.

Hello LenBen, thank you for your review. I'm so sorry to hear about the chunks in your paint. That is not the quality we expect of our products. Our Marquee Paint should have an even and creamy consistency. If that is not the case, I recommend stirring the product for around 3-5 minutes. It's best to stir all containers before using, even if they've been shaken, as the shaking is designed to incorporate color and may not stir the product completely. In any case, your satisfaction is important to us, and we, and we want to help turn this around. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Lina Behr
    Poor coverage and peeling
    Even after two coats, there were patches of poor coverage that I had to go back and touch up. I’ve also found a few places where this paint is peeling. I touched most of them up day one, but it’s been a week and I just found another spot. I might honestly end up painting over this with a different brand in three months if it keeps doing this.

    Hi Momo, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about your experience using Premium Plus Paint. Typically, this paint will cover in two coats, while porous surfaces may require additional coats. To fix this, I recommend you remove any loose coating, sand the edges, clean any sanding dust, and touch up the area. For color uniformity, you can apply a recoat. When applying a recoat, I recommend painting in columns and overlapping on each pass. Reload your roller after each column to get the best coverage. 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

      Water
      I think I bought the right paint. It’s white with primer. Painting door frames and I stored well and it’s more like water. Looks right in the can, but definitely not on the surface I’m painting. Is this a bad batch?

        Well, I used it to cover a darker color, it didn't turn out so bad, but to be a base and paint in one that is supposed to be in one coat. I feel that in the preparation it needs more white paint, thanks for taking me into account.

        Thank you Behr & Home Depot for the recommendation
        Best brand by far! this was my first time painting on my own, and I didn’t know where to start or how it would look. This brand is absolutely the best. It had low odor, barely any. Fast dry time and fast second coat dry time. Which is what I needed in a apartment. Thank you!

        As a trim paint, this does not cover.
        I'm not anti-Behr. Other wall (eggshell) colors in this line work fine. I actually wonder if Behr may have cheapened this ultra white, because I don't remember it being inferior, but this semi-gloss, used as a trim color, simply refuses to cover, creating a whole lot of extra work.

          In my opinion, Behr paint is the best! I’ve used many different high end brands and find that with Behr I only have to do one coat! Love it.

          Based on Price it's a Winner
          It's no Ben Moore, but its decent paint that covers well.

          The color was not as expected? It should have been white and looks white on top of the can, but on the trim boards, up next to the white already there, it is gray! Can I return it?

          Hi Geo, thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear that the color didn’t turn out as expected and it is more of a gray than white. Typically, the lighting and the surroundings in the room influence how the color will turn out. It is a great idea to sample colors first.

          Finish looks high end.
          Great paint for bathroom or kitchen. In general great paint where a semi gloss sheen is needed or wanted. I used this paint in my bathroom. The semi gloss sheen is easy to clean and maintain.

            absolutely gorgeous
            I'm renovating my home and the house don't get much natural light, so I researched BEHR Ultra White, not only did it made my bathroom look much brighter it also made it look much larger. I truly love this brand and color, plan to use this same brand and color throughout my home during renovation

              Great quality paint without the strong odors!
              I won't use any other paint now that I've found this line of Behr paint. It doesn't smell as strong as others I've used and has wonderful coverage. I bought the semi-gloss for our laundry room that needs to be wiped down regularly from muddy boots and dogs, dirt wipes right off!

              Navajo/white/beige/yellow
              Be CAREFUL when using outdoors!!! Color is light reflective, can appear Snow White. Our deck surface appears snow white and other surfaces show more of a beige. We thought it would have enough yellow tinting to complement the siding. Nothing in this color sample showed white. The two color samples next to the sample we selected is more accurate to what resulted on our deck. Horrifying!!!
