Three people tried, three people failed to remove the lid from this can to try the product. As though it wasn't bad enough that the glue for the label failed. Had to tape it back on as if lost you would never know what's in the can or directions for use of that specific product. Then tried to open it so we could try it out. Finally after 15 minutes and fear of puncturing the can we just gave up. The lid is bent and mangled, popped up from the metal rim but still will not release from the additional inside cap attached in the center. The single worst cap design I have ever seen and I've been professionally painting for decades! Who cares how good the product is if you cannot easily access it and know what's inside with a label.

Hello Raven,
Thanks for taking the time to review our Spar Urethane Wood Sealer Aerosol. I’m sorry to hear three people had a difficult time removing the lid from this can. I’m also concerned that the label glue failed, the lid was bent and mangled and I can assure you this isn’t the experience we want any of our customers to have. For further assistance, please feel free to reach out directly to our customer care team. Best, Roxana N. Behr

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED does not mean what you think it does. I’ve been paying extra for the premium paints at Home Depot for years even when my income was considerably less because of how much better the paint covers. It just makes sense to paint a room once or maybe twice compared to two to four times. The signage explaining “Satisfaction Guaranteed” was comforting and until my last purchase, I’d always been satisfied with the premium paints whether it be Ralph Lauren or Behr Marquee. I knew they would take paint back if I asked them to because I’d seen returned paints on their shelves for sale at a discount. We just bought our dream home with large rooms and high ceilings along with the equipment to be able to paint the interior of the house on our own. This is my first house with rooms so large that it takes more than a gallon to paint one so to say I’ve been purchasing more paint than I ever have before is an understatement. Room after room, we knocked them out with rich colors in Behr Marquee with an eggshell finish until we decided to paint the dining room, the tallest room to be painted yet, in a flat finish in an off-white color that matched the trim of the room. This is the first color we did not buy a sample of first which I admit was my mistake, but I’ve NEVER had any issues with Behr Marquee paint like I experienced with this flat white. It wouldn’t cover and when I would try to go back over it, it would come right off on the brush. It was horrible and I could see it was going to increase the amount of effort to paint the room exponentially. No, this won’t work and would be my first time to return mixed paint to Home Depot. And yes, I was embarrassed that I’d purchased two gallons of the unfortunate mix. The returns desk sent me immediately back to the paint department because they don’t refund for paint. Fine, I’m not asking for a refund, but a replacement. The most the paint department would do for me was to offer me a $10 discount on more paint. Ridiculous. I left the unusable paint at the counter and walked out of Home Depot for the last time. This is absolutely the last straw with Home Depot. You guys are not the only ones that sell premium paint.

    I bought Behr Marquee paint to paint my kitchen cabinets. It left bad brush marks all over them and I assumed it was my bad painting skills, but then I used another Marquee paint to repaint a dresser and I got the same results. I sanded it off and used the Behr Premium Plus and got MUCH better results. Evidently it was not the user, but the terrible Marquee paint. I would not recommend!

      This by far the best paint on the market. It is a true one coat paint and hides many imperfections that a do it yourselfer makes. It flows out to a very smooth finish when dry. It is on the pricey side but after the job is done it is worth the expense.

      Hi FeedingFriendzy, thank you for your review, and I am sorry to hear you didn't receive the expected coverage going over the old beige paint. This paint should cover in one coat when going over a previously painted/primed area, and when using a color from our One-Coat Collection. To report the colors used to our Quality team, please reach out to us directly; we can then look into turning this experience around for you. -Edith Behr

          Did not cover evenly no matter what I tried.
          I used the Behr Marquee Matte Compass Blue, did not cover in one coat and was uneven no matter what. I contacted Behr after buying two gallons and they did send me an additional gallon to finish the room which is great but it’s so unfortunate the paint is just not good because the color is beautiful. I painted 4 other rooms with all different paints, finishes and colors and this was the only one that came out bad. There are streaks and lines all over every wall. I tried sanding the walls and starting over and changed the rollers I used as well, nothing helped and I am just going to accept this until I have the energy to start over...again.

          Hi AC, thank you for your review, and I am sorry to hear you continued to get an uneven finish with just this color. When you do fix the issue, make sure to maintain a wet edge and work in small sections. If you still need help with your project, please don't hesitate to reach out to us again; we'd be more than happy to help. -Edith Behr

            This is the worst paint experience I've EVER had and I've painted for over 45 years. I'm actually using a drywall trowel to remove as much as I can because when it dries it's gonna be a terrible textured mess that's going to require a bunch of sanding. The wall has been primed and the Behr Marquee refuses to stick evenly. I'm using a a 1/4" knap roller, it's peeling up and is going on like a stucco. I just bought the paint last night and stirred it up good this morning. I like Behr products (but hadn't used Marqee before) so I figured I'd go with their best product. Never again. Never ever again.

            Hi Painter,

            Thank you for sharing your experience with Marquee Paint. I'm terribly sorry to hear about the texture issue you experienced. It's extremely odd for Marquee to perform the way described, so I'd love to have my team look into this matter and find the best way to help. I strongly encourage you to contact Behr directly for further assistance. We'd love to turn this experience around for you!

              True to form, this paint does just as advertised. Rich, full-spectrum color saturation with a smooth, even application. Very pleased with Behr and it has become our household go-to paint. We’ve now decked the walls our dining room, study, & master bathroom with this fantastic paint product! ❤️

              impossible to put on evenly
              This paint goes on way too thick and dries way too fast. Leaves ridges from the roller everywhere, and pulls off the wall if you try to go over the area a second time. Going to have to sand down and start over with different paint.

              Hello bearcat,
              Thanks for taking the time to review our Matte Interior Paint and Primer in One. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble rolling the paint on evenly. I can assure you this isn't the experience we want any of our customers to have. I recommend allowing the last coat to dry for 4-6 hours. If needed, apply another coat while maintaining a wet-edge and avoid going over the same area repeatedly a few minutes after painting as this can cause the paint to dry fast and pull off the wall. For further assistance, please feel free to reach out directly to our customer care team. We'd love to help! Best, Roxana N. Behr

                did not cover in 1 coat and not near the sqft
                Bought a gallon of this for a bedroom we just had drywall out up. room is 14x13x8 with 2 windows, door and a 2 door closet. one gallon got me everything but the full joining wall before having to run back for another gallon. did a bit of touch up when I noticed white splotchy pacltches coming through but didnt think much of it. this morning even more are showing so I am hoping this second gallon has enough paint left to recover some areas. used kilz pva primer on the new drywall before painting. I think thos is guaranteed for one coat coverage but I dont knowing it is worth the time. we have kitchen, dining room, hallway and a big sitting room to paint yet and I am going to probably look at something else because for the cost, it should coat in 1!can only have 1 picture in the app it seems so you get the splotchy look.sorry for spelling errors, the app is really horrible for writing a review as you can only see 1 line!

                Hi Mike, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you're not getting good coverage. Our Marquee interior paint should cover in one coat when tinted to one of the one-coat colors and applied over a previously painted or primed surface. A second coat should help even out the finish. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance, our customer care team is happy to help you! -Giovanna Behr

                  No paint is truly one coat if you are looking for a professional finished product. Behr Marquee is the best paint, by far, forgetting amazing coverage on the first coat. The second coat is just to make it look perfect. I highly recommend only using a 3/8 in nap roller and doing two coats. Use a good-quality roller. You will be so happy with the outcome. Behr Marquee dries very quickly, so work fast with it.

                  I use this paint ALWAYS for my remodeling business. It's a very tough paint yet applies easily and has a brilliant finish. Just dont believe it's a single coat coverage paint. I dont think there really is a single coat paint out there if your into QUALITY work. This paint is affordable and keeps up with paints twice its price.

                  I would have given it 5 stars, except the last time I used it I needed two coats to cover camel-colored walls. The previous six rooms I painted only required one coat to cover the camel. It doesn't make sense. Behr is standing behind their guarantee, though, so I will buy it again. Too bad this site doesn't show the entire photo uploaded, instead of just the upper left corner.

                  We love the paint color and durability, however we have used this type of paint on 3 different projects and it has never been one-coat. It could be due to the previous paint, but it took 2 coats. Still beautiful though.

                  I like the way the paint went on and it dried fast, however, it did take two coats to fully cover the Navajo White that was already there. We were under the impression that marquee would only take one coat.
