        Answer This Question

        Hi Albert, thanks for reaching out. You can use a conventional stain stripper or sandpaper to remove this stain. I recommend asking your local hardware store for suggestions on which would be best for your metal surface. Enjoy the rest of your day. -Christina

          Answer This Question

          Hi Rocio, thanks for reaching out. Yes, you can apply our Premium Solid Color Stain over a previously stained surface, provided it is in good condition (no peeling, bubbling, etc.). Please keep in mind that this product has a solid color finish, so the previous color will not show through the stain. Good luck with your project! -Christina

            I finally finished one coat on the house that took me two months to do. I want to re-coat it for the second coat using the Behr waterproofing solid stain. Is this acceptable? It looks like the cedar is soaking it up in spots and looks blotchy

              Hi Toby, thank you for your question. The Solid Stain will have a flat finish, and the color Slate SC-102 will be a great choice. Please note that you can use 8 oz samples to test out the color and finish before purchasing the full gallon. Have a great day! -Giovanna

                  BEHR products have performed great in the past and I upgraded this year to this one for my barn siding. I expect it to perform just as well if not better.

                  We love this paint! The color goes perfect with our house and the paint is quality. It doesn’t easily scratch and is thicker. We mixed it to landmark brown. It mixed well and we sprayed the deck with two coats. It is waterproof now and looks like a whole new deck. This deck went from an eye sore to us getting compliments.

                  Rich color, easy to mix, beautiful deep color and super easy clean up. The 5 gallon buckets are priced right especially for the quality you get.

                  Complete garbage!
                  Total garbage! Brand new deck and dock, hadn't rained for almost 3 months, wood was bone dry, cleaned it, multiple light coats, never penetrayed a bit. Less than a year of VERY light usage and it's peeling, bubbling, trapping water, and needs to be redone. This stuff did NOT penetrate the wood AT ALL. It's a paint, not a stain and sealer. Complete trash.

                  Response from BehrMay 4, 2026
                  Hello, thank you for your review and for sharing your feedback. I'm very sorry to hear that the coating is peeling and bubbling after only 3 months. That's not normal at all, and I can understand your disappointment. To get your project back on track, I recommend removing the loose coating, cleaning the deck with the All-In-One Wood Cleaner No. 63 and allowing the wood to dry completely. Then, apply two new coats at the recommended spread rate. We want to learn more details about your project so that we can help. Please reach out to us directly. Our Customer Care team is happy to assist! -Giovanna Behr
                    Espresso Bean solid stain.
                    Stain went on smooth and the color is a deep dark brown. Used on fence and deck. Very nice. Did a second coat after 90 min and it looks great. Hopefully it lasts.

                      Great Stain! I put it on with a sprayer. I covered over 300 feet of fence with it putting on two coats. (5 gallon pail) Will definitely buy more when needed!. Great coverage. I started using Behr products in 2011.

                      Coverage
                      I used this product to cover a red cedar colored deck. I was worried it would not cover up. We used one coat and a little touch up. It covered very good and we have enough to use for next time if we need it.

                        We have cedar siding on our cabin. Stain covered beautifully. Would have given its five but we started with a different color at first. Paint samples are deceiving.
