Q:Hello, can I use this to paint over ceramic tile?

Answer This Question
A: Hi Lillia, thank you for your question. Our Urethane Alkyd Enamel can be used on vertical unglazed ceramic tile. If the tiles are glazed, they must be primed with our Behr Bonding Primer (No. 432) before topcoating the surface. Please note that we do not recommend our Bonding Primer or Urethane Alkyd Enamel for floors. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions. -Lina

Q:I need a paint that you would recommend for a 100+ year old house that has been painted with oil base paint. Can you suggest a durable paint, please?

Answer This Question
A: Hi Vicki, thanks for the question. For both the interior and exterior of the home, I'd recommend using our Ultra Paint. It has a built-in primer, so a separate primer isn't needed for painting over the oil-based paint. It is a very durable paint and will provide a long-lasting finish. Have a great day! -Ronald

Q:Can this paint be painted over oil based exterior paint with durability?

Answer This Question
A: Hi Vicki, thanks for the question. You can apply the Urethane Alkyd Enamel over oil-based exterior paint, and it will be very durable. If the existing paint is glossy, I'd recommend scuff-sanding it first to ensure the adhesion of the paint. Have a great day! -Ronald

Answer This Question
A: Hi Marcelo, thank you for your question. I'd like to mention that we do not recommend thinning our Urethane Alkyd Enamel. It can be sprayed without diluting using an airless sprayer with a 60 mesh filter and a .013-.017 tip size. Have a great day! -Lina

Worst paint
Primered panel doors, painted a coat, let it dry. Painted a second coat and the door looked exactly the same. After one coat the door looks like i never touched it. Shouldve stuck with the SW paint. Paint mixed at HD and mixed b4 use.

Reliable, easy to work with, and great value!
Before starting a big project of repainting my old oak kitchen cabinets, I researched a lot about different paints. SW Emerald Urethane was a popular name that came up but was also expensive (according to most people, worth the price tag). However I had previously used Behr Alkyd Enamel in Semi-Gloss to paint brown shutters white and had great success. I decided to go with Behr Alkyd Enamel in Satin (French Silver) for my cabinets and Behr once again was a champ! Super happy with the results!

Excellent paint
This paint is great quality. It covers well and is durable. It dries to a smooth finish with a brush and foam roller. I did add some water to allow it to smooth out better. It is slightly tacky after 12 hours still but after a few days it dries to a hard durable finish. The photos are 3 coats on radiata pine cabinet grade plywood from Home Depot. The wood was primed then sanded with 150 grit. Paint was rolled with a 4" foam roller.

Buyer Beware
Bought this to refinish my solid maple bead board cabinets which needed a facelift. However, this paint was the worse. The paint didn’t lay flat and left a textured orange peel on my cabinets. We’re experienced painters and cabinets were prepped appropriately, used appropriate sprayer tip and sanded in-between coats. $25,000 kitchen cabinets are ruined unless I strip and redo them with a different product. Never seen this happen before with paint.

Did the job
Not a beginner painter. Used this paint to refinish a bathroom vanity and kitchen cabinets. They suggest not using a foam roller, tried both naps - the foam roller had the least blemishes. I used Kilz primer and sanded between coats. The cabinet doors were stripped with citristrip prior to sanding, priming x2 and painting. The doors had the best coverage with 2 coats. The base of the cabinet was sanded and primed twice then sanded and painted twice. The vanity base could use a third coat.

Excellent paint for wood kitchen cabinets!
Love this product - the finish (semi gloss) gives my cabinets a brand new look feel without looking too shiny. Awesome paint.
Thanks BEHR.!!
