REALLY good paint
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this on my house for 3 years at the time of this review, I would never buy any other brand or type. The finish is still perfectly fine and looks like it was just done. I used a sprayer and didn’t thin it or have to do any modifications to it although it is fairly thick. It didn’t run and no heavy smell. You won’t be disappointed with this brand / paint

    Color did not match up
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used the app for a color match. Colors appeared to be close on the app but when applied there was a night and day difference.

    Hi Ghhf - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the color match from the app didn't turn out as expected! Colors on our website or on our ColorSmart app may vary from the color you ultimately apply to your project. It's best to check out the paper swatch at your local Home Depot and purchase an 8 oz. sample to test out to ensure that you're happy with the color before making a larger purchase. I've reached out to you via email to assist you with this further. Thanks again for submitting a review, and I hope to hear back from you soon. - Sara

          Best first coat experience.
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was purchased to cover Hardee Board siding. The Hardee Board had a weak factory primer on it that still showed the cement under it. The BEHR ULTRA covered the first coat beautifully and could have been the only coat. We live in Florida where the sun is rough on paint so we chose to add a second coat. WOW that color is still rich 6 years after the initial painting. We will always use this paint , its simply the best there is !!!

                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I painted my house with this about 2012. I get so many compliments and questions about the paint. I am very pleased. It was a good choice for me and I love the color.

                    Great coverage in a single coat.
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have used Behr paints on multiple houses now. It goes on smoothly and offers great coverage in a single coat. It costs a little more to buy, but it saves you $ in time, labor and amount of paint needed.

                        What happened?!?!!!
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a fan of Behr paints and persuaded my painter to allow me to buy the paint. When he opened it up, however, even after shaking, it was like water! Neither he nor I had ever seen paint like this. I was completely shocked.

                        Hello, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the paint was watery. This is not normal, as the paint should have a creamy consistency. I'll reach out to you in a private email to find the best way to help. Have a great day! -Giovanna
                          Thick & Beautifully Rich
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We wanted to match our garage door to our cedar shutters, our door is metal with a wood like finish and the color was matched perfectly. The paint was really thick and covered the metal beautifully. Everyone thinks it is cedar too, we are very happy with the quality of the paint and how easy it was to work with! We used Behr paint on all our interior walls, ceilings, doors, trim work and baseboards and loved the coverage and it was easy to do, actually it was fun to see everything so beautiful!!!

                              Long lasting protection
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I painted my stucco house 3 years ago and it still looks great! Also, it sealed the exterior as I noticed that there was no more water seeping through the walls during rainy weather. The house still looks great and I got many compliments from my neighbors.

                                LUXURY HOUSE BEHR ULTRA SATIN ENAMEL PAINTING
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned this house for 20 years already and painting it for promotional pictures to sell the house in Gold Canyon, AZ, where we enjoy panoramic views of the Superstition Mountains and the Golf Course. We painted the house 2 years ago and we re-painted the exterior recently to make the promo pictures stand out. This is a 7,100 Sq. Ft. Stucco House with two levels and standing 24 ft. high, so it's a challenge to paint. We decided to use PAINT ROLLERS to get a thicker, more enduring coat of paint, so the cost of the paint was high, but we did the work ourselves using long paint poles that snap to different lengths. We used a scaffold and it's important to use paint rollers with the plastic in the roller to prevent the movement of the paint roller covers - with rough stucco we needed to use 1-1/2" roller covers and apply pressure to infuse the paint into the low spots, too. The BEHR ULTRA SATIN gave an nice sheen to the finish and provided an excellent surface appearance. One important note is that this was Maroon in color and was meant to give the appearance of the mountain's color toward sunset. We found the red color diminishes with time and becomes more brown due to intensive UV rays here in Arizona. We'd recommend not using red or dark colors in the hot Az. sun, because fading is more certain. It's also wise to use a specified color instead of making custom colors, so it's easier to match the paint going forward. There were too many errors as we mixed new 5 gallon buckets - the paint mixers seemed to get too much red in the paint somehow. Otherwise, we had excellent results and were pleased with the appearance once completed.

                                            Love the paint Quality and color
                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a long history of using Behr paint because of the array of colors and the great quality. They even honored their warranty on the house we live in. The original color faded to an undesirable color so we picked another color and the new paint went on beautifully. We love the way it looks and have received so many compliments. We also just painted our interior and it's put new life in. We used another product brand on small areas and it's not as easy to use.

                                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Behr Ultra Exterior Satin Enamel to finish a project for turning my shed into a she shack. I wanted something that I wouldn't have to worry about coverage and would provide me a glossy finish. This product was wonderful at that. It went on smoothly and provided excellent coverage. My only real critism is how hard it is to store and close/reopen.

                                                      Success with Multiple Coats
                                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased about 15 quarts and 3 gallons of paint to create this stunning mural in our backyard. Mindful of the task, we prepped, scraped, sanded, and primered first. Then, we got to the task - 5 people over two weeks to paint the mural. Behr color palette created a stunning look. The Ultra paint left a bit to be desired. Some places needed 4-5 coats. I wanted the Marquee paint, but they didn't sell quarts in anything but glossy or flat... I feel like there should be an option in the middle. I love Behr paint and think you should consider color, brush vs. roll, and medium when choosing the the product. Or, just have a LOT of patience when it comes to applying multiple coats.

It was a light peach color and I was concerned the dark mahogany stain I had dripped on them when painting railings would show through on the first coat. It did not and it looks great! Saved me a ton of time. Thank you Behr.

It left an even, finished look with no runs and perfect coverage.I also used this same paint for the trim. After the paint dried in my paint container I was able to pull it off in one thick, flexible sheet of paint showing me that my house has great protection. This paint dries quickly and is very easy to use. It even covered my aluminum entrance way without any extra preparation. Easy cleanup with water. Love this paint. (I am a 72 years young woman - my son painted the high parts for me)
