1 gal. #SC-533 Cedar Naturaltone Solid Color Waterproofing Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer

I really should have read the reviews prior to purchase. Natural Cedar sounded great to me in the store. after applying it I was appalled at how orange the color is. It is actually quite revulsive. Girlfriend thinks it looks like pumpkin vomit. Very disappointed. Hopefully it will protect the deck and the color will fade over time.

Did not like the color

Prepped the deck as recommended. Power washed, sanded, applied 3 coats of the stain and in 60 degree weather.. dried for 2 full days. On the third day it was raining out- the entire deck suddenly had splotches. The color dripping off everywhere after spending a full day staining and a lot of money of 6 cans I am NOT happy.

How many orange reviews do people have to leave before you Behr fixed the formula!?! I mean no one on here wants to spend the money or time to clean with your all in one cleaner and spend more money on stain!

Dang I’m kicking myself for not reading the reviews first!!!!!!!!!! So ORANGE! My favorite color is orange and this color orange on my entire deck is AWFUL! I wish I hadn’t already bought 3 gallons worth! I am so hoping it’ll fade! Don’t do it. I attached some photos of my OrAnGe deck! Pray for fade. Go Broncos I guess.

We recently changed our 350 sqf fence and wanted a real cedar tone color. This is so orange I don't think anyone on this planet wants an orange fence or deck. We spent $500 on paint and its all garbage now. Trust me in real is much brighter than the picture.

Let me start by saying that I rarely leave reviews, typically only if a product is really good or really bad. I am so disappointed with this stain!! I stained our first deck a few years ago with this same stain and it was fine. I just built my home 5 years ago so it's been less than 5 years since the first deck was done. The color is "NaturalTone Cedar." I saved the can and took pictures of the finished product so I would buy the same color when we built our new decks, and now I wish I hadn't. I bought a 5 gallon bucket, plus two, 1-gallon containers, to stain our two new decks (so I can't attribute the awful color to it being mixed incorrectly, plus it was premixed anyway.) All 3 containers were visually the same color but I mixed it all together with a paint mixer for continuity. The first one is a 50x8 deck that is part of a wrap around, and the second part is about 28x12. The decks are 12 months old and were properly prepped for stain (it's not my first rodeo.) We have another that we are working on finishing, so I wanted to make sure we had enough stain for all of it. I can't express how awful this color is. It reminds me of circus peanuts. The worst part is, when the sun is shining, it emits a horrible orange glow all through my house. I am a single parent and my finances are tight. I spent $300 for this stain and it was a total waste of money. I really can't afford to remove this stain and then buy more to replace it. I was hoping once it weathered a little that the bright orange glow would go away, but it hasn't. It just looks awful. I feel like BEHR really should reimburse for this because no one in their right mind would want their decks, fences, etc., stained this color. Our home has typical tan/brown/clay colored vinyl siding and I included a photo you you can see the color between the siding and the deck without sunlight on it. The lighting really makes no difference. Please don't buy this unless you like the color of neon circus peanuts. I've included photos with this review (which really doesn't do the bright orange color any justice) so you can see that I'm not exaggerating. I had hoped that once it weathered a bit, the bright orange glow would go away, but it has not, it still looks like carrots. Very disappointing.

Buyer be ware ... This stuff is ORANGE ... Inface HD ORANGE!!! I had used this product a few years ago and wanted to stain a new section of fence that was replaced. BEHR obviously changed the formula to this very Bright Orange instead of a more redish/light orange Cedar color. I let it dry for a few days to see if I could live with the color. In the sunlight it shows even brighter!!! Too much orange ... I will spray light oil-based top coat deck/fence stain to tone it down some. It is a good stain just not the bright orange color. Go back to the original formula!!!

Stripped the kids’ cedar playground with a pressure washer, rolled and brushed on 1 Gal. White Acrylic Interior/Exterior Multi-Surface Stain-Blocking Primer and Sealer. Last was 2 Gal/coats Cedar Naturaltone Solid Color Waterproofing Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer. Used a Wagner stain sprayer ($60) to apply the stain and it came out perfect! Would have been easier to use a paint sprayer instead of roller for the primer but still came out perfect.

You guys changed the formula for the color of this stain. This is the 3rd time I’ve purchased it and noticed immediately the color was different. As several of your other customers, I though it would darken but after a week of painting it hasn’t, so I looked it up on your website and found other complaints. I also noticed your company hasn’t admitted liability for this issue; that’s very troubling. Now I need to decide if I’m going to repaint and hope my neighbors don’t complain to our HOA about the bright orange color.
