I have loved your videos since I found them about a month ago.
Now I see what you think of your crew and you're not afraid to say it, I'm even more impressed with you.
month ago 😲 get with the program son 😋
Love this video and your crew too!

lol, thanks for the support Catherine!
:) smile!
Loved seeing and hearing the crew. Thanks!
Good video, I've seen several of your videos and I love your high energy.
Great honest review. I've used behr paint and it's great with no problems at all. A lot of people hate it though.
Seems like a nice crew. Appreciate the honest reviews.
thanks man you have helped me out so much. And I love watching your shows.
Glad to hear, thanks for watching Jason!
Looks like you have some great guys working for you- amazing that they all noticed the drops and runs, but that it sprays nicely.
Blessed to have the crew we have! Thanks for watching!
That intro is 👌🏻🔥🔥
I’m a DIY’er, and I’ve used it a couple of times. Their premium line has a one-coat coverage guarantee, and it’s not hype. For my living room, I used two gallons, compared with four gallons of a cheaper brand earlier. So while it’s certainly more expensive per gallon, it cost me less in the long run. I didn’t spray it, I rolled & brushed, and I don’t think it runs any more than anything else. It’s fairly thick, so perhaps even less. For a contractor, they may have an interest in something else, from a cost containment and availability perspective. But for me, it just works.
The Behr Marquee is really good. I'd say Sherwin Williams Emerald is comparable.
@@MSteitz468ify Emerald and Marquee are both trash for the money .
I painted a two story stucco exterior in Upland Pa with Behr masonry and stucco paint in Nov 2013 and I liked it very much. Rolled it on. I looked at the house recently and it still looks great. I've also done interiors with Behr paint and running was a problem. Especially with ceiling cut ins on walls.
Thanks for sharing Thomas!
I love Behr Ultra Premium for interior painting... Covers well... For exterior I've been using Valspar Professional with Kilz 2 primer... Great video and review as always I wouldn't use Behr or hire anyone to use it based on your review for exterior... Honest reviews by honest workers who do this day in and day out! Keep up the videos!
Thank you for sharing!
@homeimprovementhowto's thanks for all your videos, I've use some of your tips in painting (spraying specially) and they have been very helpful. Thanks again and keep up the good work guys!!
You videos have great tips on how to paint using various types of tips depending g on the type of surface being painted, exterior or trims.
I have painted my own houses for 35 years now so interesting your point about contractor vs DIYer. Behr does market to DIYers and prices are not cheap but manageable. Paint stores like SW and PPG will charge a DIYer full price (with some sales here and there but who can time that.....) So due to small quantities I get charged $10/gal more, paint stores cater to pros first for obvious reasons. So only high vol. contractors such as yourself enjoy the privilege of wholesale/volume discounts. So makes sense DIYers are going to end up buying Behr but over the years all paint has gotten so much better and I just finished spraying 10 gallons Ultra satin on my exterior, very nice to spray, had some runs with the brush!! May have to try SW next project though thanks for the vlog I learn something new every time I watch.
Yes, we would highly recommend trying them out!
My go to is porter by ppg, it's great but more importantly my local paint is great to me. Behr I've found to work well, our local HD gives contractor discounts so it's pretty reasonable
I've used Behr quite a few times it sprays good dries hard I like that, it doesn't roll on good or brush well acts like snot when pulling out of the bucket. I prefer Sherwin Williams and Dunn Edwards over it as far as easier to use but it does seem to dry hard and hold up out in here in so cal , your videos make me want to move to a cooler climate get out of this heat looks beautiful there
I own multiple rental properties and Behr is always my friend. It does the job and is cheaper than other high end brands. If I am doing same paint color , I can get away with just one coat.
The only thing I use BEHR for is painting apartments where quality doesn't matter so much .👍👍
Great video! Nice new intro as well. Please review more paint brands with the team again :)
Will do!
Right on brother I remember 10 years ago we use to call it behrly cover but now it's improved some
lol, good name for it, thanks for watching!
I just finished an entire repaint inside and out. I had more runs than ever before on the trim inside and found the rolled coverage on the facias to be less than desired. The rest of the coverage turned out great.
BEHR is very runny , as a professional painter I say it sucks . I've been called to homes many various times to fix a mess from a homeowner . Often a homeowner will roll out a room and say wow it looks great to return to look at it in an hour to find out the paint sagged . Sucks because you can't really sand fresh paint , I usually just skim coat over it with joint compound to fix it .
I just painted the exterior of my house with this paint. I used a Harbor Freight pressure pot and air spray gun attached to long hoses. I had to thin the paint a bit with water for it to spray better. I have no complaints at all. Very good coverage. I really like how fast it dries. I'll try something else next time, if I'm still kicking.
Thanks for sharing!
Thin it ? LOL BEHR is the thinnest runniest paint on the market .
I used Behr paint in my kitchen about 12 years ago and the living and dinning room about 8 years ago. It hasn't chipped or anything. Goes on smooth and even.
What kind of paint do you like to use for your interior repaints Chris?
Introduced to your channel by 'DFW' love the vids greatfull for all the Pro tips!
Thanks for watching!
Never tried it. Good to hear the opinions though
I like the honesty in this video. One thing you like and one thing you don't like is the best question. It reminds me of Army after-action reviews: What when well? What didn't go well? ...
Thanks for watching Michael!
Great Video, thanks for sharing!
You are welcome!
After over 35yrs of painting, I find the grade of paint is far more important than brand.
The Premium Plus Ultra exterior was just rated overall score of 75 (Jan 2020) as #1 exterior by Consumer Reports. Ratings primarily based on appearance at 3-6-9 years. About $188 for 5 gallons of flat at Home Depot (exclusive). Their Premium Plus came in with a rating of 73 and is around $145 for 5 gallons.
DFW 👍🏼 pretty cool to see you guys promote each other and show each other respect
I'm from Irving TX brother, always needing a good hand!!
also the last guy interviewed is amazing
Yes he is!
I like behr ! Specially the Marque . Covers really nice and its very smooth 👌
We used behr ultra recently on a job. I had never used it but another hand on the job said this is all he used on his other jobs and had high compliments for it. I noticed I had to find that magical place where I didn’t load my brush too much and almost dry brush it in the end because it ran so much. I ended up following behind the hands paint areas also cleaning up his runs. It does seem like it would be great for spraying but you can’t just slap it around.
I've been painting for almost 30 years. I really like the Behr marquee and Behr Ultra. I've had good luck with spraying, cutting and rolling those products. Both cover very well rolling. Can take two coats cutting with a brush over yellows etc.
Thanks for sharing Jeremy!
Good to hear you like the paint & that Behr Premium Plus Ultra sprays "like butter."
lol, thanks for watching!
Two of the most important qualities to the customer are overall appearance (colors and sheen) and durability. I’ve seen high priced new neighborhoods where all the houses needed repainting within 4 years.
Great info Chris!
wow- your videos always make me want to move to Idaho
It is an awesome place to live!
have you ever done a video on repainting aluminum garage doors? if not I was going to wash it down with hot water and Dawn and then roll on some SW Superpaint satin enamel- does that sound good?
it is regular aluminum garage door- dark brown in color and 10 years old- it is fading out
Here's my experience with Behr paints: I built my house 20 years ago - a pretty large, two-story home - and I used the top-rated Behr Paint of the day, in a range of colors throughout. It has held up unbelievably well! Hasn't faded, cleans easily. Now, recently, I wanted to touch up some places in my bathroom that had gotten dinged up. I still happened to have a can of that two-decade old paint in a can in my garage (which gets very hot and very cold). Opened it up and it was dried to a sludge. I got some water and stirred it to hydrate it. But it had debris in it that was unstrainable. So, I got me a small pieced of wood and got the cleanest portion I could find - which was very watery and thin, and kept I kept painting it onto a piece of wood, intermittently drying it with a dryer, and doing multiple layers until I had a solid color. Took that small sample to Home Depot, they scanned it and it perfectly matched my 20-year-old paint on the wall - saving me an entire paint job, as the rest on the wall looks very good. I'm sold on Behr paint! And as Behr has remained a top-rated brand, and as the chemistry behind paints has greatly improved over the last 20 years, I can only imagine how good Behr paints are now!
I've been using Behr paint for years, outside and in. I'm sold on its quality and the service I get in the store. That said, Dunne Edwards is excellent too.
Nothing you mentioned is specific to behr paint. All paint does that. And I guarantee you the sheen didn't match.
InstaBlaster.
1. First reason I prefer Bher. A) Recently visited Sherwin-Williams store and purchased three quarts of three different colors of Latitude acrylic paint $50.00. (They won't sell you anything smaller than a quart😩) for my stucco home painting project after the Sherwin-Williams representative told me the A-100 (100 percent acrylic paint) that I came there to purchase was "a cheap paint that won't have a good result at $45 a gallon!" (On sale for $38)☹️🤔
( Then why do they sell it?) The representative told me to use their $70 per gallon interior exterior paint for my stucco home project! (which is also not made for rough stucco exteriors or hairline cracks and is not 100 percent acrylic nor is it a specialty masonry stucco waterproofing paint). Those were the two choices that I had in mind. A high build masonry waterproofing paint and a 100% acrylic paint for my stucco.🤔
B) I asked them if they have a high build thick waterproofing paint for masonry and stucco that would compare with the Bher Specialty high build waterproofing paint for masonry and stucco with hairline cracks? They said no, there is no Sherwin-Williams paint that is designed to help stucco with hairline cracks.😡 They told me to use a $50 per gallon primer underneath the $70 per gallon interior exterior paint. 😠They also do not have any paint that includes a primer although I do believe that that is just a selling gimmick. 🤔
C) Went to Home Depot purchased five small jars (5 colors ) of Behr Ultra premium paint for $23.👍😁 (First reason I prefer Bher. ) Also found their Bher Specialty Elastomeric high build waterproofing paint for Masonry and stucco which is supposed to work well on stucco with hairline cracks etc!😁
C) Next I watched Sherwin-Williams videos related to waterproof coatings used by a builder on commercial high-rises in Daytona Beach Florida! This is what I learned. A)after significant concrete stucco repair. The Sherwin-Williams expert on the project had the contractor use LEXON conditioner on top of all existing surfaces and SW MODAC smooth primer after all areas of the stucco repairs with high PH and finish all those surfaces with SW Super paint satin finish ACRYLIC on everything. ( I knew I was right) They also used SW surecrete flexible waterproofing for the concrete balconies after a cathodic system was used by the builder ( cathodes are placed in the concrete where rusting rebar is a problem, it's known to slow down the breakdown of rebar in concrete especially on oceanfront property. It's a real problem here in Florida with waterfront or oceanfront properties.)
D) the Sherwin-Williams store employees made me feel like I didn't know what I was talking about when in fact I did know exactly what I was needing and looking for to do my project and I was willing to purchase the best product for the job. Just because something is $70 or more per gallon doesn't mean it's the right product for the job! If the Sherwin-Williams employees don't know how to help me get what I want and need they should have shut up and stopped wasting my time rather than try to sell me some high-end paint for no apparent reason. And that's why I prefer Bher! 😁 A) My time has value B) they should have just shut up and given me the 100% acrylic paint samples which by the way is on sale at Sherwin-Williams right now. D) I contacted another Sherwin-Williams store. I got another moron on the phone. I called back an hour later and got a great knowledgeable guy who explained. You can't get super paint anymore. But they do have the LOXON XP waterproofing paint that I discovered watching videos by pros like you on CZcams. 💕They have it in a flat they don't have the satin in stock but they can get it. They also don't have some of the other products that I listed above from the SW Daytona project video like Super paint. They can't get it anymore. They do have some surecrete products. He shared with me they haven't been able to get multiple products for many many months not necessarily related to covid and now because of supply chain issues they have no idea when they will be able to get some of those items. So, it's either SW LOXON XP waterproofing paint as my first coat and A-100 acrylic as my second coat unless someone advises me otherwise. Or the masonry specialty paint from Bher as my first coat and 100% acrylic paint from Bher as my second. However I'm still PO'd at the rotten customer service I received at Sherwin-Williams near my home in Sebastian Florida. Because I actually am not a paint expert and that's all they do is sell paint. I'm seriously wondering if I can't just color the masonry waterproofing paint in a satin and call it a day? Anyway home Depot makes it easier for people like me. Thank God for guys like you put so much of their knowledge online for others in their trade as well as for homeowners like me. Thank you for your valuable time and your expertise 🥰💕. I'm just really concerned about getting the right products. The painting contractor I am planning on using doesn't give any advice. Other than he prefer Sherwin-Williams. I'm worried about fading since I've seen a lot of houses fade in my area and also they don't fade evenly. I'm worried about some chalky spots on the front of my house which only occurred after someone pressure cleaned with chlorine. There's no Chalky residue anywhere else but in front. It wasn't there before the guy pressure washed the front of my house and my garage. Now my garage door and the front of my house is chalky. I'd really appreciate your opinion and so far as what should I put on top of the waterproofing paint or should I just color the waterproofing paint and use two coats of it? Or would that be a mistake because the paint is so thick? 😭 Anyway. It would be so nice if the painter made these decisions or helped me make these decisions and more fun if all I had to worry about was the colors 😁
I agree Behr paint Is great and price can't be beat getting from Home Depot
What paint do you recommend ? And what sheens do you use for interiors and exterior ?
I have also had a hard time with behr, but not so much with it running be just being too thick and getting gunky and hard to spread smooth.
this paint is junk
Chris don't stop making videos. Zack is stepping it ☝
I will never stop!
Enjoyed this video! I think most painters like Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams! Thank you everyone! Loved the candid thoughts on Behr. I noticed that Behr Premium fades over time. When I use BM or SW, the colour lasts forever!! Susan. PSS: How can I send you info regarding "foods to avoid" remember? ☺️ Thank you. Susan
Thank you. This was very useful.
I'll say this, I got Marquee Matte Paint (COLOR: Cracked Pepper), and I ended up having paint strokes on my wall. I used 2 gallons. I called in thinking I was only filing a complaint, and they sent me TWO new gallons to repair it... that's like $100 of replaced paint. No hassle, nothing, I didnt even have to ask. They were wonderful.
I’m not sure how old this video is but i would like to see you look back at this job in 2-3 years. I used Behr on a complete exterior paint job. After a few years the paint showed a chalky film coat. Had to clean entire service with a pressure wash and then clean with denatured alcohol. Sprayed Sherwin Williams Super Paint, looks great three years later.
Yes, Behr is not known to last long
My house is painted with this paint. Live in Louisiana. Had house painted 10 years ago. No chalking...perfect still. Due to our climate I pressure washed and looks brand new...the only part that had to be sanded and painted were the eaves. My painter never complained about this paint. He prefers Benjamin Moore.

Been using Behr interior paint for the last 15 years, never once had an issue and the paint still looks great. Now their deck paint, that stuff didn't last long at all. it hasn't been 3 years later and it looks awful and in desperate need of a new coat.
My company uses dunn edwards and sherwin williams paint exclusively but once in a while we work with other brands if the customer has it for us. So from time to time we use behr paint from home depot. It is by far the best paint I have worked with. Smooth and creamy. Glides well and covers like a bandit. We only ever used it for interior though.
Use Marquee, it's excellent, hands down their flat interior paint is worth the money and it helps if you have a %20 pro discount, ($34/gallon flat). I've used their Marquee flat/matte paint and love it because it is has great coverage, is easy to clean, durable and a great value. Marquee does smell though and it is the only drawback and some home owners just can't deal with it. The biggest issue I have with HD is that they only deliver on very large orders, something like 50+ gallons ? Their paint department is clueless and rarely do you find someone who knows what their talking about. They just don't carry a good selection of items for painting and they run out of things all the time because they don't stock for a commercial painter. I simply call my SW store and the same day or next day I have my paint and supplies either delivered to my job site or my home. The pricing is just slightly more expensive than HD but the convenience and time savings that my SW store provides me can't be measured.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
I work for Home Depot which sells Behr exclusively.. and I know we do in fact offer our contractors a discount for paint purchases.. also you might want to try the Marquee paint from Behr it's is much thicker and drys really fast...
Yes, we have tried it! Thanks for sharing Paul!
I used Behr for our family room and rolled it, probably back 2013.Considering the ceiling was already white and the wall an off white, I remember it didn't seem to cover as well and had to go over it after the 2nd coat. Using SW now to do the rest of the 1st floor and the kitchen cabinets this very moment :) Typing with paint speckled on my hands lol
Yes, that is one of the reasons we do not typically recommend Behr
At 7:30 you say it's designed for the DIY homeowner - thanks for the tip! I need to paint my home interior.
Thanks for the honest review. It sounds like the paint comes set up to spray and be applied in thinner coats. Other folks who use the Behr paint a lot might think the Sherwin Williams paints you are used to as being too thick.
Yes, thanks for watching Greg!
What every contractor wants to know is if the paint covers very well with coat and how expensive or cheap it is. I personally use Berh all the time just because it covers very well with one coat because it has paint and primer in one and the price is the Icing in the cake. I’ll use Berhs premium plus over Sherwin William Emerald even if it was free. What’s the different material price and cuts labor in half
Awesome, thanks for sharing Oscar!
Exactly. Basic business. I didn't start a paint company because I love it, I was just naturally good at it and start up costs are low so I quit my job and went all in to learn business hands on. Knowing your numbers when it comes to man hours is the most important thing. Also morale tends to drop if you're kickin ass at a house to find out it will take two coats instead of being almost done.
Behr covers well? I think our definition of covers well is different.
didn't mention how you thinned the paint out, then said you spray it thick, also did you use the thinned out paint when brushing and rolling? 🤔
Great review!
Thanks!
Home Depot does offer discounts on paint and they can deliver paint as well
I have a Graco 9X sprayer. I’ve used it 4 times since I first bought it 15 years ago. I last used it 10 years ago and it’s been siting in my garage unused. I’m concerned that I may need to replace filters and tips. Should I have it be looked by a shop? I getting ready to paint my two starry house again.
I use behr paint the most on my jobs and never came across it running as its thick paint. Never seen thin or runny behr paint in all my years.
Actuall sometimes i find it to thick on some jobs.
Maybe its made different in your area as im from canada.
Great video tho. Keep up the great videos.
That's because of the rheology modifiers Behr uses. It not necessarily a sign of good paint. They focus on the DIY end user versus contractors who know how to work with a variety of finishes. Some of the most garbage paint doesn't run. You could put a paint stick in it and it wouldn't fall over.
Behr isn't bad, it's just not formulated regionally, like SW, Rodda, KM, DE, Vista, etc. You can get a equal or better product for less from the wholesale paint suppliers if you negotiate with a rep and use a decent amount of paint. I was a rep for KM and eventually sold ICI products against Behr in Home Centers.
Behr Marquee has been softening and falling off my walls after about a year. No issues with moisture in the drywall.
I used Behr Ultra satin on my homes exterior ( Tucson AZ ) 17yrs ago, and it’s still looks like new and has retained its color very well.
Just painted the full interior - primered all walls white - then applied Sherwin Williams Emerald - every single color required 2 coats. Behr has always covered in 1 coat.
I used Behr about 20 years ago and it was literally like painting with water, they have definitely gotten much better over the years , but they do still need some improvements
Their midline is thick imo. I was actually really annoyed with SW quality, comparably, when I painted my whole house, you pay the premium for SW and it's supposed to be this great paint definitely not impressed. Even with contractor discounts, from SW, it would have been cheaper to grab Behr from HDepot.
That's a load of crap I did my bathroom in it 20 years ago and it lasted for years
I've used Behr's paint several times, if customer wants it, it is not bad. , I found it worked out ok, flowed ok, but I agree on the discount. Home Depot don't cater to paint contractors with much discount, and If I was on a large commercial job and needed 200 gal.'s, it would be a nightmare depending on them. I prefer Porter Paint, PPG. Good video again, well done. JohnG
Any thoughts on their Marquee and Dynasty lines? In my experience, they are truly one coat however they dry very fast, are very thick and become unworkable nearly immediately. For example, I'll cut-in and back roll first and only across a small section of a wall (approx 5ft) and when I hit it with the larger roller painting to the wet edge, it creates texture or doesn't blend well and sometimes even peels off as if it's already setting. I've even tried extenders with it to no avail. I dread when a client gives me this to paint with. (I've never tried spraying with it.).
I used Bear paint for many years. I thought it was great. Then I tried a good paint like Benjamin More or Sherwin Williams. There's no comparison.
I've seen Bear paint that was so thick you could stand a five-gallon stir stick in a one-gallon can and it would stand straight up. My helper asked me if it was spoiled when he opened the can. It was close to as thick as pudding.
I find the trim paints, (semi-gloss or gloss) needs to be thinned a bit or it leaves brush lines down to the old paint. So you then must paint it again to cover.
I personally use Benjamin More Paints. For trim, doors, handrails, and shelves. I only use Benjamin More Advance Interior Waterborne paint. I love that stuff. It's alkyd like oil paint but cleans up with water. There's no blocking and it looks hard like oil paints when dried. without the yellowing!
It goes on a bit more like oils. You can't just slap it on thick like latex paints, or it will run or sag as oil does.
There's a sixteen-hour recoat time, but I think it's worth it. You can see the difference when it dries. I tend to work alone most of the time so I can usually only get one coat on the trim in a day anyway.
Ben Moore is the best , I'd rather use Ben Moores contractor paint than BEHRS best paint .
I agree, Advance self levels. Its all I use for interior trim. You can paint using a pinecone and will appear sprayed.
Pinecone lol that's good@@flahertypaintingpropertyso4021
I just started to use SW paint , only because I watched a video a couple weeks back that said you should buy the best paint you can afford and I noticed the contractors in my area also use this brand . So I bought a quart of SW middle grade and personally found its coverage is superior to anything I have ever used and it has a lifetime warranty , so I`m kinda sold on its quality . I will use Glidden , Olympic , or Behr on projects that are not so showy though .
Benjamin Moore is best. I’d rate Valspar as an excellent second choice.
Glidden is surprisingly ok.
SW? Not a big fan.
Titanium dioxide is the white pigment in all paint that you see before its dyed. Its the key ingredient in primer and it's what covers stains and color on walls and ceilings. Take a look at the MSDS sheets of SW Duration paint and Behr Ultra Premium Plus. 10% more in Behr. You get way more coverage with much fewer coats needed. SW paint rolls nice because it doesn't have as much solids but sags horizontally. Behr is a bit more gloppy and will sometimes run vertically. Home owners will get more done for less with Behr. Pros can paint faster and get the job done earlier because it rolls and sprays better. That's your answer.
Tyson Harris I learned this the hard way by trying all the different paints. If you learn how to roll and spray behr you save a lot of time by covering everything one coat.
thats correct, nice to see someone who knows what they are talking about;-)
Tyson Harris Behr sucks. drips and runs a lot and it pulls terribly when cutting
BEHR Marquee sags when brushing and rolling, forget back rolling over the sags as it peels the paint back off the wall. Spraying has better results. I am a paint contractor in South Florida with high humidity.
Will you be using or testing Sherwin Williams' newly acquired paint company? (Valspar)
I like Behr paint I use the marquee it is more expensive but I like that I can do one coat and it is good, I am lazy, I noticed that the Behr premium does not stick as good and you must do a second coat.
I get 20% off and 5 gal of contractor grade is $65. It covers everything and they deliver it where I live in Charlotte. i300 eggshell is my favorite, one coat repaint over flat and no flashing on the cut in /roller transition. Even if the cut in isn't backrolled, which we skip for low budget rental property jobs.
I am on my lunch break,and in the process of redoing a bathtub and just finished watching the vid (yours) on that topic. I am about to start spraying next.i am using the same spray cans you used.and only have paper mask, see how it works out lol. Thanks for all the helpful tips in that vid and in all of your videos. Helped me alot.
Behr paint has changed its chemistry over the years. pros: it covers good. It's not as pungent as it used to be. The Marquee brand is worth EVERY penny & truly covers with 1 coat. very little to no holiday on 1 coat. The hi-glossbis very durable and finishes nice. The ceiling paint thick and bright. It really covers well with a bright true white. 11 years ago I did not like Behr paint at all.
cons: if u leave it in a paint pan it develops a skin. The brushing capabilities for cutting or trimming is tough though. I tend to mix a little water when brushing baseboards.
Thanks for sharing Sean!
Use Floetrol, not water.
Water not only dilutes the paint but also weakens the bond and shortens the life.
+Mark Spotter
thanks for that advise. gonna follow it. take care
i just used the marquee about a week ago and was very happy with it but its between 45-50 bucks a gallon but only one coat is all it took!
during the past two years I have used Behr exterior and it is now faded and cracked/peeling.... .>behr sucks. Right now I just don't know what to do... which paint to go with.
I've never had any of these issues. That basic flat matte exterior always touches up great! The new interior scuff defense is just as good as super paint, it is thick I put some flotrol in it. Flow like butter
OK
The paint covers good bud after i rolled i have to go 1 or 2 more time to rerolle it
I have a client that insisted on using this on the interior of the home. The home was stripped of all carpet and flooring which made it easy to spray. I found that just like it did several years ago, it also runs when Spraying as well as brush and roll. The interior spray also flashes very easy Unfortunately I am not a fan
I like your good and bad approach towards the review. I actually charge an addition few for using these box store paints. That is too cover the additional cost of protecting from drops with paper plastic and run issues. I don't have today with my supplier. Insert plug for spectrum paint. :)
That is a good idea to charge extra, lol, thanks for watching!
Great review. I would just like to clarify that the “hardware store” that sells Behr does offer contractor discounts, and also that Behr has an entire division dedicated to the pros - Behr Pro, made up of both inside and outside reps dedicated to servicing the contractors. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing that information🤙
Inside it's a nightmere for contractor's to go in and pick up paints behind 10 homeowners asking for color recommendations
So basically it’s good to spray and use on the house body but I would use a different product to trim everything out. I’ve used the behr interior with the primer already in it on a couple bedrooms..I was impressed with the coverage.
Thats all I use behr ultra marqee expensive but durable & practically stain free cleans up well..
Do you have a vid that goes into more detail about paint qualities and its effects on over spray or fall out?
The reason why it runs is because it has high amounts of titanium dioxide, which is a heavy content, that's why it covers so well. It's also the most expensive part of any paint. For those that don't know, titanium dioxide is the replacement of lead paint. I use to get runs as well but I have mastered cutting, rolling, and spraying with this paint. No drips, no skips, no sags. I roll and cut in heavy, you have to be one with the paint ;) lol
Thanks for sharing Bill!
I agree bill
it has a bit of a learning curve i used to hate it but now i respect it
Well said. 🐈
The Big Box DOES give discounts to contractors and painters. It’s called ProXtra, and you can get up to a20% discount on Behr and Kilz. They will also do free next day delivery to your job site when you order 24 gallons or more. They also store your color information you use for each job. If you like SW ProMar, then you might want to try the Behr Pro line. Consistently out performs ProMar and with ProXtra discount it’s less expensive as well.
Thanks for sharing Glen!
Used it on interior a few times. We didn't have any issues.
I've been using Behr paint for about 7 years now it does coat pretty good resilience cost a lot more. Bear does run pretty easily though.
Mainly what I look for isn't how many shortcuts I can take, but how long it lasts. My favourite product from Behr is their interior/exterior super white (you can tint it). We use it on our yachts, as well ashouses, and on interior trim that normally would take oil paint.
Thanks for sharing!
Like I tell all my clients any paint is good as long as you apply it properly.Primer and 2 coats..
I'm a DIY'er - we quit using Behr about 10 years ago. SW seems to be the best for us - both spraying and rolling.
You a grad? Most people who root for them work at Walmart...
Great video! What paint do you prefer?
Seems like that you have a great crew to work with
Hi ,I have semi-gloss paint on the walls,do I need to use a certain type of primer.I would like to put satin or eggshell.
It's running because they're putting it on with the thickness they're used to doing with sherwin williams. You started off by showing how good it covered the door, it covers everything else just as good too so no need to slop it on. I put it on thick and spread until my roller starts to dry a little and then back roll it to pick up the excess paint. I even use the i300 which is $15 a gallon and it covers just the same.
It is a fantastic paint. Pretty much top of the line. But what has problems is the price the customer sees it and kind of scares them away is why I always guarantee valspar.
What interior paint do you recommend for ceilings?
As an avid DIY homeowner I’ve tried paint from the big box stores and noticed the exact things you mentioned in this video. Now I prefer to purchase paint at SW stores or the like.
I do like primers sold at big box stores but they are not Behr or Valspar.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
What brand do you like to spay the best. Which brand gives you the best finish product for the money
I hear this alot but I use Behr with no issues. I tried SW Duration and hated it so much because it showed every brush stroke on a block home with knockdown, so I used it as a first coat and then second coat with Behr, This was 16 years ago in south Florida, and it still looks great, Not sure why this only happens to me with SW paint. Everyone seems to like SW.
I want to paint my place the best, brightest white like Bel air mansions, if behr isn't it what brand, gloss would you suggest?
Would like to test out your plastic bags that you demo on storing rollers and brushes.
Home Depot definitely has a Pro discount. Loved the video but would be good to check facts. Depot has a 3 tier discount, 10%, 15%, and 20%. I use PPG Timeless from Home Depot... love it! Every store has things you like and don’t like. I went to SW last week and had a small order... but they struggled to match the color. After 3 tries I just had to go with it.
I got a small sample of premium plus ultra for a small project not an actual wall but I'm wondering because it's giving me so much anxiety can it cause cancer or harm my health in any way if I touch it or breath around it even when it's dry or wet please I need an answer
