Great coverage
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the paint so I could apply two coats on my newly fabricated Bee Hive. The paint performed better than expected- the primer and paint combo saved time and the finish and dry time was great. The honey bees can't wait to try out their newly painted home. Thanks BEHR for protecting their home so the bees can pollinate flowers & vegetables! Bzzzz :)

      Lasting Paint
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compared to other brands, I found this is the best. It's thicker and applies well. It also lasts longer and through our "Siberian" winters in northern Minnesota.

        Covers and looks great!
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a ranch house and exterior paint was peeling pretty bad. At 72 years of age I sought out bids from local painters and I was taken aback by the quotes. Understandably there would be a lot of labor and materials to use but being in good health and not one to sit on my haunches I took on the job myself. Being retired meant I could take my time if need be. First cleaned all the wood shingles, then scraped all the chipped and peeling paint. Then sanded where need be. Cleaned off the shingles again. Then started painting. Was able to get one coat on the first season then the second the following year. As I was painting I was getting compliments from people walking by thru the neighborhood.

              Best on the market

                Durable
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I painted the front door of my home with this paint and the finish was beautiful and held up well even after a few tears facing west and getting full on afternoon sun in Louisiana summers. I’ve made sure to use only Behr paints since then and will continue to use behr for any of my paint needs.

                  Great paint
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Covers very well. Some of the best paint I have ever bought. The interior and exterior higher end paints have always done an amazing job for me.

                              This paint dries to a nice semi gloss finish.
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a professional painter and this is the only paint I use for exterior doors, windows and trim. I love the finish and the easy way it works. It holds up very well and all my customers love it. I would not use anything else.

                                      Very Nice Paint
                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paint is easy to work with and goes on really well. Even though the paint is thick it isn't so thick that it is clumpy or hard to spread. Although if you are painting Hardi for the first time or Painting Metal (even if Primed with Metal primer) more than one coat is required to get a really solid coat. Even more coats may be required when the paint color is really dark.

                                          One coat coverage!
                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im a painting contractor of over 30 years experience in residential and commercial. Out of all painting companies (Dunn Edwards, Sherwin Williams, Vista, etc) no company offers a product like the Behr Ultra paint and primer that covers in on solid coat! I believe this product is perfect on any surface and leaves surfaces very resistant to weather condition or interior everyday life.

                                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Behr to paint the two doors going i to my house. Doors hadn't been painted in 30 years! So easy to apply and went on quickly. I will definitely use again!

                                                Does not lay flat and bloomed
                                                I have painted the entire interior of my home with Behr paint. I started my exterior project and all was going well until I got to my external french doors. That’s when the trouble began, which one week later I’m going to try and exchange paint at home depot for the first time in my life. 1. The paint started blooming on me the day after, this was a milky film on the door that kept spreading as time went on. Thinking more coats might solve it as I got a dark color, I proceeded to apply more. After FIVE coats the problem kept happening. Ive never had to do more than two on any project before. 2. It took 3 coats just for color coverage 3. The paint was really thick and would not lay flat. Probably because it started drying within just a few mins, leaving it no time to lay down. This left my doors with a bumpy finish. Now i have to sand them and start again. I cleaned, caulked and primed all surfaces. I didn’t paint in direct sun. I used high quality, new brushes and rollers. The temperature was about 65 degrees with 40-60% humidity. I love the color and it seems like a durable paint. I’m usually very happy with behr products, but this semi gloss winter way paint is the bane of my existence right now.

                                                Hello, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the milky film and texture on your doors. This is not typical, and I understand your disappointment. I recommend sanding the surface smooth, cleaning the surface with soap and water, allowing the doors to dry completely, and recoating. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. I'll reach out to you in a private email to ensure that you have a successful project. Have a great day! -Giovanna

                                                        Nothing "blocking" about this at all. Pictures say it all. I'm a fan of Behr's interior paint, but not this.

                                                        Hi Gregger - Thank you for reviewing our Ultra paint. I'm sorry to hear about the lack of coverage you're getting on your project! I can definitely see what you mean in your picture. Our Ultra paint has a stain-blocking primer built in, so your first coat will act as your primer coat to seal bare surfaces, any stains, or previous colors. Once the surface is primed, an additional 1-2 coats will build up the color and a uniform finish. I've reached out to you via a private email so I can help you get your project back on track. Thanks again for taking the time to submit a review, and I hope to hear back from you soon! - Sara
