I've been painting for 11 years now, but I always come back to your videos for info and tips. It's helped me evolve tremendously, my boss has been painting 38yrs, so he's still old school, so it's nice to learn new things 👌
Happy to help!
As someone who's mixed a lot of paint working at The Home Depot, this is a review I've been hoping for. I'm glad performed that well for you; it was pretty exciting to see.
It really is that good Tim
I too work at Home Depot in the paint department, after 35 years as a painting contractor. Behr paints tend to get "dist'ed" by the Pros, but of those i have used on my own home, I have never been disappointed. The Dynasty and Marquee really do cover in one coat when using the sanctioned One Coat Palette of colors. The one caveat I do give my customers is that you must be going over a well sealed wall to avoid problems with streaking and flashing. It is not the paint to use if you just bought a new house and are going over that "contractor's grade" paint . Here I would suggest priming first with a quality primer/sealer and not just a PVA. I can tell yo that I have many contractors being converted over to the Behr line of paints. Personally, I feel that Behr's Ultra has the biggest bang for the buck. It is a really good paint at a moderate price. And, if you have Ultra mixed into the Dynasty one coat colors, it covers extremely well, if not guaranteed to make it i one coat.@@Idahopainter
Much thanks Chris for your review!
Glad to help Gina
My wife and I are about to have our second daughter in less than 2 months and I have to paint both rooms (my oldest daughter wants the same color now 🙄). I wasn’t sure what paint to get and what might hold up better to kids beating up and drawing on walls but this video came right on time! Great video and great breakdown with your feedback! Thank you 🙏🏽
Glad to help
I trust you. I ended up getting a gallon for trim and I love it. Sprayed and brushed excellent!
Good to hear Jonathan.
Using this in Satin sheen, ultra white on my bathroom walls and the thickness/brush marks are awful. Going to try rolling tomorrow but I rarely ever roll. This paint reminds me more of the Valspar Cabinet Enamel I used in the kitchen, so so thick.
Awesome work! I have been very curious about this paint and its 1 coat capabilities, and your video helped alot! But as I saw from your side note, there is a selection of colors that allow that 1 coat hide. Very informative. Thank you!
Yes its only select colors and this was one of them
When you go into the Home Depot to select colors. All One Coat colors will be bundled together on the Color Wall under “On-Coat Hide” section for quick reference. Another note is that each color card will have a notation on the top left of the card that will tell you bonus effects when that color is made in specific product lines. (IE: Marquee and Dynasty One-Coat Hide or Dynasty Exterior 10 year Fade Resistance)
@@NiteMarcher Thanks for the details!
It leaves a beautiful finish !
It looks amazing. Best interior paint I have ever used
Great review. I found I had to slow down and not overwork the paint when rolling with dynasty. FYI, I have had multiple clients lose picture frames/glass when trying to hang smaller things with command strips. Whatever makes the paint durable does not allow it to stick to the surface. One client was a stager who does it all the time so as not to put holes in walls. My Behr reps have been notified and now I ask clients if they plan to use that style of hangers.
Thanks for your thoughts Michael
Hot glue hardly even sticks to this paint
Adhesion is also a quality that increases as the paint cures. I wouldn't be putting 3M Command Strips on fresh paint.@@Idahopainter
Did you dilute or is that only necessary with sprayers?
5:55 " Crooked ceiling line so I decided to take it up on the ceiling" As a veteran painter I understand exactly. You should do a video on that explaining. Biggest problem with home painters that are afraid for the paint to touch the ceiling. I paint a lot of old apartment rentals with bumpy walls and ceilings. I often paint the wall color all along a ceiling area actually on the ceiling by like 1/16 of an inch. Best way to give the appearance of a straight line. Rememeber no one will see this close up. It just needs to look like a straight line and it will even if you paint a part of the actual ceiling. Dynasty is my go to paint for kitchen cabinets. Drys very fast...covers well and durable. Sometimes Iadd a touch of Floetrol.
This drys super quick especially when the humidity is low . You have to work extremely fast. I was surprised it covered one coat on 70 year old yellowed oil base doors
Thanks for sharing
I have new dry wall for an entire house with no trim up yet. I bought a spray tip and other supplies from your store. Would you put trim up and spray primer over everything or would you paint all primer and and final coats then add trim and paint that?
Prime drywall with PVA then install trim
Dynasty is great paint and has a great finish as good as emerald
Agreed
So glad I found this channel, I just bought a sample of this paint in “Forest floor” I’ve never painted a dark color before nor used this paint. Can you tell me what’s the best roller to use with this paint? I saw a video that showed wool rollers are best, is that true for most paints? Thanks!
Premier ultramicro from Paint Life Supply Co. or the Woven Pro
I've been using Behr Ultra for years and I love it. Not a fan of the Marquee paints, it is too thick. I am glad to hear Dynasty was thin but had good hang and good hide. nice vid
Thanks for sharing!
Why would you not like thick paint? I hear this time to time but don’t understand it’s drawbacks. I’ve been painting since 1975. As far as Behr paint, it’s hit or miss. I find some of their paint pretty good, but others awful. But they have come a long way in the last 40 years. Is it spread-rate that you dislike about thick paints?
If nothing else, a thicker paint film is decreasing the square foot of coverage you are getting out of a gallon. tTis has the effect of driving up the actual cost of the paint used.@@Machia52612
Thanks for the information, is this a product that would spray well? We are going to repaint the entire house and I’ve thought about buying a sprayer to speed things up….could be dangerous I know.
I did not spray it
How does this compare to other paints you've used? Is this the best paint o. The market coverage wise at this point in time based on your experience?
I think this is the best interior paint I have ever used
Work sellin Behr paint Im slowly starting to get into paint more so def don’t take my word too well cause I’m not a painter. I’ve used dynasty behr marquee and behr ultra and I just love the behr ultra. In my experience the marquee is fun to work with, but I love the matte finish. The dynasty I gotta work a lil more with it, but from using it I love the finish of it drys kinda fast so can’t really sit with it gotta go to work. The marquee and dynasty are only one coat with certain colors from behr. it won’t be a one coat if u get any other brand tinted in there like Ben Moore or sherwin Williams. The behr ultra has been the easiest for me to work with doesn’t dry as fast as marquee so u have a lil more work time and the scuff defense on it, is sexy. I love your channel I’ve learned so much from it so thanks man keep it the great work.
thanks for sharing Elijhah
Thanks for the review. Is it okay to use Floetrol paint additive to Dynasty paint ? I’m using a semi gloss ultra pure white paint and getting lot of brush marks on my window trim.
Yes but no need to
I am having the same problem. I'm using an expensive Purdy soft brush and added some XIM extender and still getting very obvious brush marks. Following all the technique suggestions. It clearly starts to level out but doesn't fully. I've been adding about the minimum recommended amount of extender so I am going to try the maximum rate. Should have done a test piece. I will try some without extender and some with the maximum rate.
I have the same paint but for outdoor. As I’m rolling paint on my pergola the paint drys out in the rolling pan and becomes lumpy. How do I prevent this and do you recommend thinning this paint out? (I have flat matte)
Add a capfull or two of Floetrol to a gallon.... slows drying time and even makes paint lay flatter.
I’ve been painting for 40 years and always found Behr to be garbage but not anymore.
This is good paint.
Love it!
Glad to help Ben
Yeah that paint covers good. Only other paint I've used that was one coat most of the time was timeless which was discontinued. Good job, I see you re use the trey inserts too.
Thanks
Timel;ess was discontinued at Home Depot, but is still available at PPG dealers.
What’s your go to top 3 brands and specific product line of each?
BM Aura for exterior
Had a job last year when this paint first came out and the customer wanted me to use Dynasty. Tried to 1 coat, looked terrible. Had to apply second coat. My crew hated this paint. Multiple reasons. Behr has other paints that are just as good if not better and cheaper in my opinion. If you want something like Dynasty, SW or Ben moore have much better products. Love your videos Chris, been watching you for long time, but that's my experience with Dynasty
I had a different experience
I recently used SW interior super paint in satin. Didn’t cover in 2 coats. They offered emerald at the price of super paint. That also didn’t cover in two. The consistency of the emerald was that of their multi purpose primer. Not exaggerating. I then got Behr ultra scuff defense. Same color. Covered beautifully in 2 coats for half the price of emerald. Didn’t stick around the kick the walls but I have scuff in my bathroom and everything wipes right off with a wet rag.
The kicker about the SW debacle is that when I told them the emerald didn’t cover, they made any and every excuse that it was my doing and not the paint. They insisted I used the wrong nap roller (used the same roller for the Behr) .. I showed the manager photos of a wall with two emerald coats that hadn’t covered. He said “oh it’s hard to tell by pictures”. Mind your the home I was working in was a 5 minute drive from their store. I asked him to send a rep to come look at it. He never came of course.
Any time I have an issue with SW they never return my call.
My Behr rep is very helpful and knowledgeable. He was a paint contractor for 30 years before he joined behr (he’s bored).
I often hear painters dogging Behr because it’s “Home Depot a big box store”
Well, sorry fellas but SW is big box as well and tons of diyers and homeowners use them because THEYRE THE BEST!
Behr is owned by Kilz and they’re got an amazing team formulating their products.
I will never use anything but ultra scuff on interior walls again. One coat is nice but I personally think the substrate needs that thickness of two coats to last.
Thanks for listening. Have a good day sir.
Same here. Dried too fast and left dry nap spots everywhere.
Once i worked with a contractor who bought me Behr Diamond its like 30 bucks a gallon,i was really confused as to why he bought me that,i asked him that it probably wasnt that good of a paint,but he insisted,so i ended up using it,and quite frankly it did great! I can honestly say it performs there with Super paint so yes i recommend
Thanks for sharing
Wonder if it would cover in one coat if it was Burgendy or Yellow.
They have a list of one coat colors
I used this pain only issue I believe it’s best to use two coats just personal preference. As far as white because it’s very thin paint.
I tried on a white door using black paint i use both foam and 3/8 fine roller on it, its very good with a flatter surface but i end up with white breaking through on the grooves and bumps no matter how light im pressing. i think if i sprayed it it maybe good with one coat, so i ended up doing a very stretched precoat before a topcoat, in comparison i used speed hide, 3 coats later, i cant even touch the door with my hands without scratches, im doing siding soon, so i really dont want to do 2 coats if i can do 1, anyone used this before?
Would you still do 2 coats if you were going back to the same house 10 years later same color??
Always bid for 2 coats! Definitely will be more full looking. I use Behr scuff defense over this
It is still good practice as a Pro but it did one coat on this job and it covered 100%
Have you tried this paint with a sprayer yet? Next what is your determining factor when it comes to rolling out a room versus spraying? Thanks Bob
Rolling always gives a better finish
Spraying is rarely worth the effort in occupied housing where finished flooring is in place. It is just too much effort to protect against all the potential over spray! Also, most customers want a different color in each room. Again, too much effort to constantly be cleaning out the spray equipment.@@Idahopainter
Can this paint be used to paint wood bedroom furniture? Thank you
Not a good idea
I have watched your videos for years and they really helped me when I first started. I have a question though. Obviously lots of products say that they cover in one coat, but working with very experienced painters I was trained to ALWAYS use 2 coats. With that being said, what would you say about that. 2 coats or 1 if you can get away with it?
Always two
@@Idahopainter that’s what I figured, just figured I would ask. Thanks.
It is never wrong to two coat, but is often over kill. If all factors are favorable and one is only affecting a reasonable color change, one coat is fine.@@Idahopainter
I got some BEHR Marquee that says one coat hide guarantee on it too.. and is supposed to be paint and primer in one.. I'm doing the bedroom in Mayan Treasure Blue.. hopefully 1 coat is enough because it was $60/gal and hopefully I don't have to prime.. walls are 5mm plywood (new) any tips are appreciated.
Hope it goes well
This paint DOES require a primer on bare surfaces to affect one performance! You could two coat it , but it would make very expensive primer!
@@nejdro1 I had gotten to figure that was the case, I bought some primer and am putting off painting to lay new carpet and get ready some shou sugi ban blue stained handmade trim wood.. I got into this not knowing jack about painting and have tried to educate myself, since realizing that semi gloss is a bad pick for bedroom with imperfect walls so am now going to go with eggshell I think
You reccomend this over sw duration and bm ?
For sure over Duration. Aura is very similar
@@Idahopainter thank you. I’m a diy if you has paint wall. I’m your own home what would you use ?
I highly regret using this paint. I bough MATE WHITE for my ceiling. It is really gloss and now i can see several shadows and imperctions from the knocked down texture. Before, I had a real mate paint and no problem.. such a bummer
I’m not sure if you mentioned it or not, if you did I didn’t catch it but what is the paint color ?
He said it was called "City Rain" I believe
City rain
City Rain its in the description and in the video
How is it compared to the marquee?
Much better
Would this paint work for rv walls? And cabinets?
Not my choice
I think this paint is highly affected by humidity. Used in Tampa FL in summer and it was as good if not better than Emerald in every way. Used exact color and sheen in a NC house in winter and it was impossible to roll out on 8' wall. I couldn't even roll one row with a 3/8 DOOZ. Switched to 1/2 and still can barely get on wall. Also it dries so fast that you get junk in pan from drying. Ion FL it rolled exactly as shown in NC you cant roll it out. Used a prime first coat that took forever.
Interesting
This is either a Rerun or I dreamed this exact video. Lol.
Same video but reposted cause of a lighting issue
What about spraying?
Whats the color of your room when you are in the table ?
What?
You said it dries in one hour. Less than that. I can paint a cabinet door and 15 minutes later dry and ready for a second coat.
you rather use paint and primer in one. or just pure paint and primer separately ?
Separate is best practice
How do you think a lighter color would perform? I.e. lavender or Mint
The have a list of one coat colors
@@Idahopainter cool, thx
Dynasty is a really good paint
Buyer BEWARE. Based on this video, I decided to use Dynasty Matte on the walls of a bedroom. I'm barely recovered from the first coat nightmare. I have been a longtime fan of Behr's Ultra Pure White, so I was really looking forward to a stellar experience. THIS PAINT DRIES TOO DAMN FAST! I'm furious, because it was impossible to maintain a wet edge. My walls are only 8 feet high, so we're not talking cathedral ceilings. By the time I finished one row, the top edge along the ceiling was already dry. If I dared go over the edge of what I had already painted, I got a paint texture that I did not want. I HATE when that happens. I hate lap marks and paint stipple. I want SMOOTH walls. I was well prepared for everything when I began. I had my paint pan covered with a wet work rag, to keep all the paint in the pan moist. I had a wet rag to wrap the brushes and rollers when not in use. The outer edges of my hand brushes still ended up with dry paint, even while wrapped in wet rags. I've never had that happen before. I managed to get the dry paint off my brushes, but I had to sit at the sink with them for about 20 minutes, scrubbing and scraping the bristles. I'm not pleased with the matte finish. IMO, it has too much sheen. You can see the window's reflection in the ceiling. In order to smooth out the texture, I'm going to have to sand the first coat and apply a second. The can says not to thin, but I'm going to try adding an extender, just to see if I have better luck with second coat. I'm really furious. At $60 a gallon, I expected more attention to quality results. I hate that paint companies are catering to speed demons. I get that time is money, but, IMO, quality trumps an extra 15 minutes. (FYI, I come from a painting contractor family, and this job was done yesterday in East Coast Winter. We're not talking about warm weather heat conditions.)
Thanks for sharing
@@Idahopainter I'm tempted to call Behr tomorrow to complain. In 30+ years, I've never worked with such a fast drying paint. I'm grateful Home Depot took the can back (55% full) and refunded the charge. We re-sanded the ceiling and one feature wall today in bright daylight. Even sanded, the surface has an eggshell sheen. How can they call this paint matte? The lap marks between rows were ridiculous. Luckily, the paint dunes sanded down with aggressive arm work. I probably should have used the electric sander. (I may do that tomorrow.) We also noticed some orange peel texture in certain areas, probably dried stippling. My feature wall was near perfect before we applied the Dynasty. The surface was smooth as glass, primed with 3 coats of BM oil-based primer, each coat sanded to perfection. Then we started to read other reviews of Dynasty from other sources. Way too many users were experiencing the same things we experienced. Who knew? Still furious.
@@KJ_nycI wonder what the humidity of the room was, cause in winter or beginning of spring some homes can be as low as 12-15% relative humidity compared to 60-75% in the summer/fall.. that would certainly effect drying time I would think. I just got myself some BEHR Marquee paint and am intending to paint my bedroom soon, just put up walls of 5mm smooth plywood underlayment because the old ones were like a smooth glossy wood-look interior wall that were painted over and peeling and flaking horribly I thought it'd be easier to replace them
What coverage did you get per gallon?
Exactly what the can stated
또하나의 최고 장점은 터치업이 아주 미쳤다는 것입니다.
What kills me with this is the diy vs actual pro excellent painters. I'm a really good painter but don't consider myself professional or trained officially. But I can't handle homeowners painting my tape work and don't get me started on voulenteers. Back to my point, doing 1 coat... I find it's amazing how much I miss albeit hairline misses on cutting in with my first coat. Out of my own operator error I always do two. Most people who are excited about one coat are very cheap people not looking for a good job that can't paint to begin with. But I guess there is the demographic of painting rental and apartment suites.
Thank for sharing Matt
From japan. Ik it’s useful cuz Ik the ropes but I guess Japanese customers wouldn’t believe the one coat so I’d say they’ll be like “ that’s fishy! Isn’t cut corners?”
Bruh smh 😅😂
Thanks for sharing Simon
They are not making it thick anymore🤷♀️
I can tell you from experience...this isn't a one coat paint! for $100CDN it's shit.
Thank you
Glad to help
We sincerely want to work with you and hope you will reply to our emails(Construction home Camera)
OK
