Poor coverage
I bought this less than two weeks ago to repaint porch chairs. I was painting green over green and expected great one-coat coverage. Although the mix was shaken at Home Depot and I stirred it before using, it appeared streaky and the wrong consistency. After using it, the finish on my chair was streaky. All Home Depot did today was re-shake it, and said I needed to contact Behr because it appeared to be a quality issue. Behr is closed today. I will speak to them on Monday in hopes of getting some satisfaction. I used the Premium plus in the past and was much happier with it

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to review our Ultra Exterior paint. I'm sorry to hear about the streaks and that you didn't get the coverage you expected. Our Ultra Exterior paint is self-priming; the first coat acts as a primer, and additional coats provide full coverage. To get your project back on track, I recommend applying another coat with your nylon/polyester brush while maintaining a wet edge to eliminate the streaks. I've also reached out via email to get more info and assist further. Thanks again for providing your feedback, and I hope to hear back from you soon! - Christina
    Great paint. Applies well and covered in one coat.
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Behr Ultra Exterior Paint and Primer is great paint. I was able to paint my 1870 square foot house with one 5 gallon container. The paint applied easily and improved the look of my house 100%. I highly recommend Behr Ultra paint and primer.

      Great quality!
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this paint several years ago. I loved the quality and durability. It has kept its luster and shine all this time. I would use it again.

        Best looking home ever!!!!
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought the 5 gallon bucket! I was shocked at the price! But, the resulting coverage and great looking color was AMAZING!!!!! All my neighbors stopped and complimented the look we have achieved, along with the awesome windows Home Depot installed. The paint has a thicker consistency than other paints we had used on other projects. We took the time to prepare the surfaces prior to painting. So we are very happy with the finished look!

          Hello, thank you for reviewing our paint. I'm sorry to hear that your paint faded sooner than expected. It's normal for paint to go through its fading process over time with weathering and sun exposure. To fix the issue, I recommend cleaning the surface with soap and water (you can use a pressure washer for large areas). Once dry, apply a new coat. I've also reached out to you via email to learn more about your project and assist you with this further. Thank you for sharing your honest feedback, and I hope to hear from you soon! -Lina

                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paint goes on like heavy cream. The consistency is just perfect for covering previous paint on house. It do drip at all. The clean up was super easy.I turned on the garden hose and it did the work. Loved the product!

                  Great on 90 year house
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this since the paint I used 10 years ago started peeling after all the prep I did. This paint looks great on my 90 year old house and after 90 years there are several layers of paint. I did my research and found Behr the best for my painting needs!

                      Outstanding exterior paint
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have found Behr paints to be some of the best on the market. They apply well and are very durable. I have found them to be better and considerably less expensive than than paints that paint snobs like to put on a pedestal. I am a retired general contractor with 60+ years experience and will only use Behr products on my houses.

                        Great coverage and smooth application
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had a big building to cover. We purchased siding second hand so before paint the house looked like a patchwork quilt. We liked just one of the colors and Behr Ultra exterior paint and primer in one covered all the colors easily and completely. Color match was really good too! Application was as smooth as silk on the textured boards! Now, on to the trim!

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a gallon last month for trim on an old school house that we restored. Holds up so much better than other paints we have used in the past

                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Truly doesn't require much on your paintbrush to get the coverage you need. I will use this paint for the exterior of my home and any future home for life!

                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product on my daughter house. The satin finish made this house. The finish look when painted brought this house to another level. OMG!!!!!

                                I bought this can to repaint a part of my fence that matched my house. It went on easy and since the fence was down to the wood, did need two coats. But it looks great now!

                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product to cover 50 year old press-board panel siding. It went on easily, covered well, and so far(two years later) is holding up great.

                                        Years without cracking or fading proves quality
                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Years without cracking or fading proves quality I’m just amazed how well this paint has held up over the years and in fact it outlasted most items on my house. There are no signs of cracking or fading and overall it has done a wonderful job protecting my home from the harsh elements here in Texas. Not only will I recommend this product I will use it over and over again as I am updating my house.

                                          Hasn't lasted long for me...
                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I see so many excellent reviews, but I just haven't had good results. I have been through three 5 gallon purchases of this stuff on my small house (I fear switching paints.) Every year I need to touch it up, particularly when I wash it down with a hose, the paint flys right off in spots. I followed the instructions and applied it with a sprayer (now I touch-up by hand.) It is an older home with masonite hardboard siding, but I still feel it should stay in better condition and last longer than it has. I would take pics., but I recently did more touch-ups.

                                          Thank you for your review. I'm terribly sorry to hear that your Ulta Paint is not providing the durability you expected and that you've had to touch up the surface multiple times. That is not typical, and I understand your disappointment. I've reached out to you via email to learn more about your project and further assist you. Thank you again for sharing your honest feedback with us, and I hope to hear from you soon!

                                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Previous painting and decorating contractor many years ago untilI took a desk job with NYS. When I moved in 2012and had to paint my 1870"s home, I was shocked to find out Benjamin Moore exterior was over sixty dollars a gallon! I researched a quality paint for less money and all roads led to Behr. I thought I'd give it a try and haven't looked back. It is my go-to paint for interio and exterior paint and deck stain. The quality is superior to many and comparable to the top manufacturers in the paint industry for half the price, plus!

It lasts so much longer than the flat paint that painters offer as a standard.
