Questions and Answers for BEHR PRO 5 gal. #12 Swiss Coffee Eggshell Interior Paint

A:  Hi Bruce, thank you for your question. You can use our Pro i100 to paint your ceiling and woodwork. We recommend priming first with an appropriate primer for your project type. I suggest checking out our Multi-Surface Primer No. 436. Before application, ensure the surface is sound, scuff sand glossy surfaces, clean, and let dry. Have a great day! -Alex

A:  Hi meli, thank you for your question. As it turns out, the i100 does not provide the benefit of being mildew-resistant. Instead, we recommend using the i300 Interior Eggshell Paint, which offers protection from mold and mildew on the dried paint film. Have a great day! - Randy

A:  Hi Richard, thank you for your question. We do not recommend our paints to whitewash, as doing this requires the paint to be thinned beyond what is recommended. I suggest looking into a product specifically designed for whitewashing. Have a great day! -Giovanna

A:  Hi Margaret, thanks for your question. Yes, our Pro i100 Eggshell paint can be used on previously painted plaster walls. I recommend cleaning, scuff sanding (if glossy) and priming with our Kitchen, Bath & Trim Primer before applying this paint. Have a great day! -Christina

A:  Hi CABB, thank you for your question. Our i100 Interior Paint does not include a primer and will require a separate primer. Have a great day! -Lina

A:  Hi there, thanks for the question. The i100 paint can be used to paint over Semi-Gloss Paint, but the existing paint would need to be scuff-sanded and primed before applying the paint. Have a great day! -Ronald

A:  Hi Kard, thanks for the question. Our Pro i100 paint will cover up to 400 square feet with 1 coat over an already-primed surface, It also depends on the roughness of the surface that you are painting. The i100 paint typically covers in two coats, while darker colors and porous surfaces may require additional coats. Have a great day! -Ronald

A:  Hi there, thanks for the question. I'm sorry to hear that the Winds Breath looks more like an icy blue instead of green. Typically, the lighting and the surroundings in the room influence how the color will turn out. It is a great idea to sample colors first. For your fireplace, a couple of suggestions would be Cottage Hill and Plumville, depending on the look you are going for. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback.
