Great coverage and color
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I chose ancient ivory to pain over our yellow kitchen, and in just one coat it almost perfectly covered it! We will do one more coat so it’s perfect but the color is gorgeous and definitely pretty true to swatch!

    Unable to remove the white residue from wood floor
    I use Behr paints in general but my husband decided to purchase the "SCUFF DEFENSE" and the post spatter clean up turned into a permanent issue. In past, I could easily wipe up paint spatter and any residue left behind. This particular formula doesn't allow complete removal of the white residue left behind to newly finished hardwood floors and/or the metal hardware on doors. I spent an hour on the phone with Behr and they had NO solution for total removal of Scuff Defense residue that would preserve the finish of my floors/hardware. Sherwin Williams and Home Depot also had no good solution despite my trials of products they recommended, but could not guaranteed. My solution is to spend MORE $$$ to have the wood floors restained and hardware replaced. POOR product without warning or solution for a common problem that comes from painting.

    Hello, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you've experienced removing the paint splatter. I can understand your disappointment. Typically, cleaning up paint splatter is easier to do while the paint is still wet. You can use soap and water to clean it up. However, once the paint has dried, it can become more of a challenge. Dried paint can typically be removed by sanding, scraping, or using a paint stripper. However, the removal method will vary based on the surface it is on to avoid damaging it. I'll reach out to you directly in a private email to find the best way to help. Have a great day! -Giovanna
      Beautiful and durable finish!
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For over the last 25 years or more I have only painted the interior of my home with Behr paint, and will use nothing else! It goes on so well, the coverage is amazing, the finish is beautiful and durable. All I can say is Behr is the best!

        Easy to use and great coverage
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paint is very good at not only coverage but also for keeping clean. We use it for our rental and find that the product does exactly what we were looking for in durability and ease of use.

          Behr Never Fails me
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im a mural Artist and I’ve been using Behr for quite some time now. 5 years to be exactly after trying other brands. I Love it! Most of my murals are exterior but I just got a project for a kitchen mural. The customer wanted me to first paint the wall and then the mural. Is my first time painting the wall before my art but I didn’t hesitate and I bought this Behr Scuff Int paint. (Eggshell) Absolutely Love it!! Dry fast covered everything in one layer and the colors are fantastic! Im always referring Behr to my contacts. Never goes wrong. Thank you for the professionalism you guys rock!

            Been using Behr for years
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have purchased Behr paints for years and have always been happy with the outcome. Typically one coat does what i need and the coverage is excellent.

              Horrible Formula
              Horrible paint. It went on like a layer of plastic. Despite prepping the walls and allowing the paint to dry in between costs, adding a second layer lifted the first cost of paint. I sanded the entire wall and tried again with the same results. I’m a longtime HD customer. I love Behr paints and stains. I had never used this formulation before. The formulation is the problem. Might as well spray paint a layer of plastic on the wall. It’ll be easier and look better.

              Hi there, thank you for reviewing our paint. I’m sorry that you had an issue with the the second coat lifting off the first coat of paint. It sounds like the paint may have been drying too fast. What can happen is that the top of the paint is tacky while the paint underneath is wet and it will cause the paint to peel off on the roller. When this happens, you can add up to four ounces of water to a gallon of paint to give it more working time. I’ve also reached out to you via email to learn more about your project and assist you with this further. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us, and I hope to hear from you soon! -Ronald

                  Great coverage
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last week and painted my hallway that had not been painted in 20 years. This paint had excellent coverage and my hallway has gained new life.

                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product for both my kids rooms hoping it was going to be worth it, and the protection is amazing and when something gets on it you can wipe it right off without worrying about messing the paint up.

                              Not a fan
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was recommended to me by the paint dept. I was covering dark beige walls in my bedroom with a cream color. The paint was extremely thick and very hard to work with. It took a lot of effort to get the room finished. Would not use again. I do love the basic interior paint and primer in eggshell and will go back to that.

                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this and it is fantastic. I can wash off the marks that might get on the wall with no problem. People always ask me what kind of paint I use because they like the colors and the look when I'm finished. I still have a few rooms to repaint and you can bet I will be using Behr.

                                    Perfect for my home office facelift
                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this paint for my home office. It's a north facing room but gets very bright in-direct sunlight all day so I wanted a color with depth but not too dark since the room is small. This worked perfectly and is a beautiful backdrop for my many houseplants.

                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this in my kitchen. It covered everything great. i even had black paint on my wall above my sink. it covered it with only two coats. I used Lowes paint for a bedroom and there was no comparison. I would definitely use this again.

                                          Best Paint a Landlord Could Use
                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have multiple apartment buildings all within a couple miles of a Home Depot. I have standardized on the Ultra Scuff Defense when I rehab an apartment after a move out, or we need to repaint common areas. I have found that it holds up to the abuse that most tenants will give it during their stay. Touch ups are kept to a minimum and full repaints are not required. Color match is always perfect. I try to standardize on a particular color for each apartment. In addition, I require the tenants to use nothing but Ultra should they want to change a color

The coverage is precise and the application is easy to use. Since using this product on scuff prone areas.....I have been very pleased with the results. Approx a year since applied and zero scuff marks.

The quality of Behr paint is wonderful and a great value for the quality. I even prefer the quality of Behr over more expensive brands. Any time my friends mention they are going to paint I always recommend Behr.

                                                    Easy Cleanup, but paint had a lot of sediments
                                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I spent the extra money for a higher quality paint that I was also hoping would withstand Furnature rubbing up against it occasionally. I was shocked, and a little disappointed to discover that even this stuff being brand new had a lot of what I refer to as “boogers” in the paint. Tiny gooey paint lumps that show up while you’re rolling it on the walls. You can see it in the tray, and when I took it back to the store they could see it in the paint can with a stir stick. They said maybe since it’s a 2 part mix that something didn’t mix right and made me a new one. New one still had the issue, not as badly, but nevertheless still there. So just know that if you DO buy this type of paint there’s a good chance you will not have nice smooth walls in the end. Kinda took the wind out of my sails, so I thought I’d share this with others before they do a bunch of rooms in their house(s) like I did and findout the hard way. Colors are great tho, and it has held up to the furniture scuffing, so there’s that.

                                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a Behr fan, but am extremely disappointed in Scuff Defense. I painted my kitchen which looks beautiful, but if you bump up against the paint with anything it peels! Peels, not scuffs! I have kids, dogs, and furniture (lol) in my kitchen. We allowed dry time before applying the second coat. We thought it was perfect until rehanging the curtain rod, setting an accent piece near the wall, or someone bumps the wall after using the light switch, etc. Trust me, I’ve told everyone in my home to be careful until the paint cures but this is ridiculous. I can deal with scuffs, but I cannot deal with peeling. The paint I painted over was a Behr paint and has flawlessly lasted for years and never had to wait days to use the room. This formula has let me down. I’ve touched up 7 random places in 3 days of painting due to peeling. Controlled air environment so that cannot be a factor. I only applied 2 coats where it was needed.

This is not typical, and I can understand your disappointment. To get your kitchen looking beautiful again, I recommend sanding the loose coating off, cleaning the surface, and touching up. As you mentioned, once the paint cures (takes about 30 days), it should not scratch and peel so easily. I'll be reaching out to you in a private email to find the best way to help.
