Not Flat!
Horrible Wasted 4 gallons and 4 gallons of sealer.
After 5 days of drying it still had shiny / wet looking spots all over the place.
Removed popcorn and hired a professional to apply knock down, he sprayed the ceilings with a sealer and then Ultra Pure White Ceiling Flat Interior Paint and Primer in One.
A day later it still looked shiny / wet in spots so he came back and applied another coat, 2 days later it looked the same he then came back and applied another coat and 3 days later and 4 gallons of Ultra Pure White Ceiling Flat Interior Paint and Primer in One later it was still shiny / wet looking in spots.
He then suggested using Benjamin Moore ceiling flat white ..well 1 coat and a day later we finally have nice even flat ceilings.
If you are looking for a Flat white ceiling stay away from this.
We have used Behr paints all over the house outside and in and never had a problem before.
Behr is our choice of paint. But NOT for Flat white ceilings.
Was an expensive lesson.
Here are some pics of BEHR Ultra Pure White Ceiling Flat Interior Paint and Primer in One after 3 days of drying.

Hello Paul, thank you for your review and for being such a loyal Behr customer. I’m so sorry our ceiling paint was shiny and wet in some areas. Since multiple coats had been applied already, I recommend recoating with our Ultra Scuff Defense Interior Flat Paint instead to provide a more even finish across the ceiling, which it sounds like you were able to get already. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly for further assistance. Our team is happy to help you! -Joni

We used this to paint a bunch of ceilings for renovation videos on our YouTube channel. It looks amazing! So clean and bright! Previous owners left stains and discolored spots on the ceilings and after about two coats they were all covered up. The color schemes when we moved in were a little too dark for our tastes so this helped brighten up our rooms immensely! We continue to get more as we continue renovating our house.

Hi Bango - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the lack of coverage you got with our Ultra ceiling paint. This product will typically cover in 1-2 coats or 2-3 on porous/stained surfaces or when making a dramatic color change. If you need further assistance with your project, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We'd be happy to help. - Sara

Paint has a sheen! Should be flat
Had my popcorn removed and knockdown put up. After 4 days it was ready to paint. I did my research and this paint I thought would do the trick. I had no roof leaks so I had no staining. The paint covered but I was left with parts flat and others with a sheen. I sprayed the ceilings and did some backrolling. The following day I did some touch up and it looks awful. I get a sheen on some parts and flat on others. I have spent $210 dollars and looks like I am going to have to buy another paint and hand roll the entire ceiling. I am not happy! Out time and $$. I have been a fan of Home Depot for years. But starting to get disappointed. I am still waiting on an oven to get delivered from Home Depot. Been a month. Was told the delivery truck was stolen. Not happy right now.

Hi Hv5097,
Thank you for reviewing Behr ULTRA Ceiling Paint. I'm very sorry to hear about the flashing issue experienced, as it certainly isn't what we want our customers to go through.
Unsealed knockdown tends to be very porous and should ideally be sealed before painting to achieve a uniform finish. If the knockdown isn't sealed first, it can absorb paint at different rates creating an uneven look.
I encourage you to contact Behr directly for further assistance with this matter. We'd love to help!
Kindest regards,
Doris

Too simple I love Behr paint. It goes on smoothly. It covers well. The colors are always true to the chip. I painted my open concept home. I used Behr's Color Smart online tool. I was able to picture the paint in my own house. Great experience, great paint.

Good paint, but high quantity needed for the job
Pros: The paint color is a very pretty, bright, flat white. The quality of paint is good.
Con: For the price of paint, I thought we would get more coverage with less paint, but I was wrong! It required over 2 gallons to cover a 285sft ceiling. We first started with a roller and the paint was quickly disappearing 1/3 of the way into painting the ceiling we switched to a sprayer. With both methods, the coverage seemed pretty good, but paint was gobbled up very quickly. After 2 gallons and spending over $60 , we finally bought a 5 gallon bucket($55) of another brand (since we plan on painting other rooms as well) and it got better coverage while using less paint.
Overall: While the quality is nice, it's not worth the price when you can get better coverage while using less paint and spend less money elsewhere.

Very impressed with this product. I typically use the normal 2-gallon Behr ceiling paint. But this time I was painting new drywall so I wanted a little extra coverage. Worth the added expense compared to their normal ceiling white. Went on well with no splattering.

Absolute junk. I was told by HD paint dept that this works exceptionally well and should be able to coat my kitchen ceiling with one coat. Well 3 coats and 2 gallons later I was still unable to get even coverage. For some reason each time it overlapped it dried darker. I even changed up the best roller store had with another brand on third coat. Still came out crappy. Of course HD told me I can’t return the paint since I opened it already. Beautiful...
I explained my issue to them and of course they recommended I should get the Behr Marquee ceiling paint at $44/gal. Right...
Well the Marquee did the job at one coat as advertised. So this small paint project should have been below $50 and 1 day of work, but it ended up being closer to $140+ and 6 days of paint work in which there is no price that could be set on the time I’ve lost having to paint the ceiling 4x. This product shouldn’t be on the shelves at this pricepoint.

Hi denkigroove, thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry you didn't get the coverage you were expecting from your paint. Although our Premium Plus Ultra Stain-Blocking Ceiling Paint does have a built-in stain blocking primer, it's not guaranteed to cover in a specific amount of coats. Multiple coats may be needed to achieve your desired coverage. I apologize for the miscommunication regarding the coverage. For coverage in one coat, I would suggest using our Marquee Stain-Blocking Paint and Primer Ceiling Paint, as it's guaranteed to cover in one coat. Customer satisfaction is important to us. So, please feel free to reach out to us directly if you need further assistance. Our Customer Care team would be happy to help! Have a wonderful day! –Joanna

I swear by Behr paint and only use Behr Premium Plus Ultra on my walls. I've never painted ceilings before, but I figured I couldn't go wrong with my tried and true paint. Unfortuantely, I am extremely disappointed in this product. I primed my newly drywalled ceiling with Behr's drywall primer and let it dry for two days. Then I followed with two coats of this paint. Both coats had very noticeably flashing (variations in the finished sheen of the paint) even though I did my best to be consistent with my coverage. Once the final coat was dry, I was horrified to see that the ceiling paint is not actually flat! It is somewhere between matte and eggshell. I could see every tiny surface variation in my ceiling. I don't expect my work to be perfect since I'm an amateur DIYer. I do, however, expect flat ceiling paint to be FLAT.
My mother has been using Behr for years and has had the best luck with their lowest grade flat ceiling paint so I will be using that next. I am just surprised and disappointed in this product.

Hello Paige,
Thank you so much for being a great Behr customer and always using our paint. I'm sorry to hear our ceiling paint dried unevenly and with a different sheen. I'd recommend giving it additional dry time. It could be that some areas are drying faster than others, which can be causing the uneven finish. The issue can self correct itself with longer dry time. Just in case the issue remains after allowing it dry longer, then we recommend recoating with our Behr Premium Plus No. 1050. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Kevin
