Eggshell sheen offers a soft velvety appearance
Part of the BEHR 2021 TRENDS palette
Excellent hide; 1 gallon covers up to 400 sq. ft. depending on application, color and surface porosity
For best application, use a high quality 3/8 in. - 1/2 in. nap roller cover, nylon/polyester brush or airless sprayer (0.015 in. - 0.019 in. spray tip, 60 mesh filter)
Use BEHR ULTRA SCUFF DEFENSE Paint as a primer for properly prepared uncoated or painted interior surfaces, including woods that contain tannins (2 primer coats required for redwood and cedar) and heavily stained areas
Lock in stains with BEHR ULTRA SCUFF DEFENSE Paint as a spot primer, for heavy stains, test for stain bleed-through by applying BEHR ULTRA SCUFF DEFENSE Paint to a small section, if stain bleeds through, spot prime another coat to the stained area and test again before top coating, if bleeding continues, a longer dry time is needed before top coating
Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 50°F-90°F (10°C-32°C), darker colors may require additional dry time between coats, cooler temperatures or higher humidity may prolong drying time
The true benefit is an eggshell finish appearance with scuff resistance of a gloss, a combination not typical in traditional lower sheen paints
Advanced scuff and mar resistance helps protect wall surfaces in busy households. Do not use on floors.
Exceptional burnish resistance provides an easy-clean finish for long lasting beauty

Behrman and done
Bought Behr Polar White to cover up my daughter's crazy color phase in her room. It was such a breeze painting, one coat does the job. Any project is definitely a Behr !

Beautiful!
I always buy Behr paint. When they came out with Scuff Defense I bought it right away for a kids bedroom. Behr always goes on so easy. It looks so beautiful after putting it on. It's amazing how Behr has that very rich look, it is just the best paint you can use. I have tried the really expensive brands. Behr is #1 for me. It cleans up so easy, I like rolling it on & the difference it makes you can see right away. It really is scuff proof. Love it.

Great coverage and smooth application!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently chose Behr Scuff Guard Eggshell finish in Cracked Pepper (the 2024 color of the year), to paint our son’s garage. The paint was the perfect choice for the garage as we have used it for other projects and it really does not scuff! It’s durable and beautiful. Easy to apply, has great coverage (even in black), very little or no spray back from our roller and super easy to clean up afterwards. This is new construction, so we did apply one coat of primer before the paint.

Amazing coverage!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paint is amazing. My son built his home and to save money he decided to do the painting himself…with the help of his family. This paint goes on smoothly and cleans up easily. The number of colors to choose from is outstanding
