Q:Is this paint tintable like teal color
by|Aug 6, 2020
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hi Bill, This specific product listing is for a pre-tinted black color, so it cannot be tinted. However, the white base and deep base can be tinted to other colors in-store. Because Direct-to-Metal is a PRO paint, it may need to be special ordered. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions you may have. Best of luck with your project! ~Doris

        Answer This Question

        A:  Hi Jackie, Great question. Our Direct-To-Metal Paint can be used on a chain like fence. To prepare the surface, we suggest scuff sanding to help remove the gloss if any. Also, making sure the surface is clean from any debris. I hope this info helps. -Edith

            It dried too slow at first but after adding thinner seemed OK. I got one gal to many, may I return the unopened gal?

              The product description stated it could be used on galvanized metal but while it adhered initially it started peeling within a day or so. Completely flaking off now. Unfortunate. Home Depot's ordering & pick up process is great though (only reason for the 2 stars rather than 1). Ordered online with in store pick up multiple times now and went well all times. This was just a poor product.

              Hi CorgiMama,

              Thank you for reviewing Behr Direct-to-Metal Paint. I'm very sorry to hear about the adhesion experienced, as it certainly isn't typical or what we want our customers to go through. To increase adhesion before painting galvanized metal, we recommend scrubbing the surface with a solvent such as mineral spirits or acetone. Bare metal must be coated the same day it is cleaned. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, and I encourage you to contact Behr directly for further assistance. We'd love to learn more about your project and find the best way to help.

              Kindest regards,

              Doris Behr

              I am really pleased with this product. It covered nicely over a primer coat and dried to the touch quickly. I wish I could have found this paint in a quart size can. I painted the iron railings at our front stairs and patio furniture. I still have 3/4's of a gallon left.

              Hello and thank you for your feedback. In reading your review, it sounds like your paint was very chunky and too thick. As the manufacturer, this is not something we want our customers to experience with our product. Stirring and mixing your paint will usually alleviate its thickness. But if the paint’s thickness still doesn’t allow you to apply it properly, or if it’s clumpy this is not normal. A customer care representative has reached out to you directly to learn more to help and also provide some tips to get your project back on track. Behr
