Questions & Answers

I'm painting raw pine. Should I treat the knots with anything before priming?

Answer This Question

Hi Hans, thank you for your question. You can use Behr Ultra as a primer for repaired or uncoated surfaces, including woods that contain tannins (two primer coats required for redwood and cedar) and heavily stained areas. Alternatively, you can prime first with Behr Multi-Surface Primer No. 436 to help avoid applying multiple coats of paint. Good luck with your project! -Alex

              Hi Luanne, thanks for your question. Our Ultra Exterior Paint can be used on hard rigid plastics that are in good condition and have been primed with an adhesion-enhancing primer. We recommend using our Behr Bonding Primer (No. 432) to prime the shutters. Have a great day! -Lina

                  Answer This Question

                  Hi jeff, thanks for your question. Our Ultra Exterior Paint can be used on vinyl siding; however, please keep in mind it's important to use a color that is similar to our lighter than the current color of your siding to prevent it from absorbing heat and warping. Good luck with your project! -Christina

                    Worst Paint I've Ever Used!
                    This was absolutely the worst paint I've ever used. I am 72 yrs. old and have extensive experience with paints. After 1 year this paint was already peeling. And yes, I sanded and primed all surfaces prior to applying the product.

                    Hi wyattearp, thank you for your review. I'm so sorry to hear about your negative experience with our Ultra Paint, especially compared to your previous results painting. To fix the peeling, I recommend removing the loose coating and touching up the surface once it's clean and dry. We want your project to turn out successfully, and we'd like to provide some guidance to help prevent the issue from persisting.

                      Too thin and drippy
                      I keep getting disappointed when I use Behr paint for trim work. It's soo thin and runny, drips all over the place. Even with most expensive can of exterior paint. Please thicken it up!!! Valpar Duramax is way better....

                      Hi Vincent, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the running and drips you experienced. That is not typical, and we want to help. Our exterior paint should have an even and creamy consistency. We recommend stirring the product for 3-5 minutes before using to ensure the correct texture. Factors that can help reduce the chance for this to happen are scuff sanding glossy surfaces beforehand and avoiding a thick over application. We want you to achieve success with your project. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Lina Behr
                        I recently purchased this Behr Premium Ultra paint. I've tackled many projects in the various homes I've owned over the years, and Behr paint has always been my go-to choice. I've never been dissatisfied, and I still drive by my old homes that I've painted—the results look beautiful even after 10 years or more. Behr paint is far above the rest.

                        Fantastic Paint/Primer
                        I’ve always used Dunn Edwards paint but wanted to see if Consumer Reports was right about this paint. I was not disappointed. I put two coats of Behr Ultra, semi gloss, swiss coffee on bare wood, leaving an hour between for the first coat to dry. Fantastic finish. Very impressed.

                          Hi Mdeleon, thank you for your review. I'm so sorry to hear that the color didn't turn out as expected. Typically, color is influenced by the lighting and surroundings of a project, which is why samples are always a great idea.

                          Behr paint was outstanding. We had to use only one gallon instead of the amount the painter had originally calculated b/c this paint covered so well and so thoroughly. Looks great!
