Answer This Question

Hi TimM, thank you for your question. Our Premium Plus Ceiling Paint is a paint and primer in one that does not require a separate primer for new drywall. The first coat will act as a primer, and additional coats may be needed for coverage. Have a great day! -Adelina

      I have the popcorn celing texture in my kitchen. The usual amount of cooking grease may be on the ceiling. Will this paint adhere? Are there special precautions I should take? What is your recommendation?
      ByJul 15, 2026
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Hi AMac, thank you for your question. Surfaces should be clean and free of any grease, dust, or dirt before coating as that can make it difficult for paint to adhere and can lead to performance issues. I recommend using a degreasing cleaner to make sure the surface is good to go before letting it dry and painting. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions. -Adelina

              Hi Jerry. Thank you for your question. You can use our Behr Premium Plus Ceiling Paint for bathroom ceilings. However, if you want extra protection from moisture and mildew, I suggest choosing a higher sheen like satin or semi-gloss. Have a great day. -Alex

                Will this hide areas in the ceiling where some of the previous paint has chipped? If the area has been sanded and loose paint removed, does it have to be perfectly smooth?
                ByMar 12, 2026
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Hi Priscilla, thank you for your question. The Ceiling Paint will not change or hide the texture of the ceiling. If the area where the previous paint chipped left a texture, or spot, that will still show through the paint. The surface will need to have the preferred texture before painting it. Please reach out to us directly if you have any other questions. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna

                  3 Cans, 3 Different Whites
                  Bought 3 cans of this for a ceiling job. 3 cans dried completely different shades and now have to be completely repainted. Terrible quality control

                  HI csing12, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear your 3 containers seem to be a different color. Your project's success is important to us, and we want to help get this back on track! When working with the same color and paint across multiple containers, it's best to box them together to ensure uniformity. "Boxing" is typically done by pouring all of the paint together into a larger container. We want you to achieve positive results. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Adelina Behr

                    Does not adhere
                    Does not adhere well, hours after painting it started to cracks all over. Will never use Behr for painting again, switching to Glidden. Cheaper and better quality.

                      I used this product on the ceiling when I moved into my home 7 years ago. We just sold the home and I needed to touch up some spots on the ceiling. The ceiling paint matched exactly and you cannot tell where it was touched up. Goes on easy and dries fast.

                      Don’t Buy
                      Don’t buy if doing a large area you will mess your ceiling up with when overlapping causing a rough texture

                      Hi there, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the paint caused a rough texture. That's not normal, and I can understand your disappointment. It sounds like the paint might have been drying too fast, leaving behind a texture. I recommend sanding off the unwanted textured, cleaning the surface, and touching up. You can add up to 4 oz. of water per gallon to slow down the dry time. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance. Our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Giovanna Behr

                        I’m an experienced DIYer . Use the freaking Behr premium plus ceiling paint. Love Behr paint . Used regular exterior Behr on an old shingled house 20 years ago . Still looks awesome with sheen still glowing . I’ve yet to have Behr peel - but you have to do the prep. Clean ,putty caulk, sand. . . There’s no short cut for great results.
