Customer Reviews for BEHR MARQUEE 1 gal. #PPU26-23A Dark Secret Matte Interior Paint & Primer

This is the 2nd room I have painted with this Behr product. I’m very pleased so far, I still have the other half of room to go, but the texture and color are great! I also like the easy clean up and low oder. The richness of the paint seems like it will stand the test of time and grandkids!

Great product

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.

Covers well Easy to apply

I had to paint 2 times to get it rite. Payed for the best, but wasn’t so good

covered GREAT!

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.

This product worked great with one coat. We will buy again and again.

We hired a interior painter this time to do all of the painting, there comes a time when the bones don't feel like tackling these jobs. The painter was so impressed with the coverage plus 1 coat guarantee that she is now going to switch from Sherwin Williams to Behr. Ceiling, walls, and baseboard looks great.

Hi, my name is Martin. I am a paint contractor. Below is a picture of a job i did for a friend. One coat of this paint is all it took. This product is Amazing! I buy it for all my jobs now!

Disappointing to have a guaranteed one coat application to find out that there were multiple spots that shown tiny little spots. The "best" rollers (puple $10/3pk) were used for 7 different colors (10 gallons total) (Eggshell and Satin all Marquee). New primer (Zinnser 123) on all surfaces allowed to dry for more than 2 days. The paint is nice and thick but the paint needs 1-1/2 to 2 coats and yes wet roller not half dry like many amatuers. It came out nice but took twice as long for twice the price.

Excellent coverage and the matte finish gives walls a nice sheen without the glare. It soaks the light versus reflecting the light which keeps wall imperfections from standing out. Excellent paint!

I love it only need one coat.

The paint was easy to apply and dried very quickly. I only needed to add one coat of paint to get a finished look. I am very happy with the product and the way it turned out. I would definitely recommend this paint. This was my first time painting and if I can do it anyone can. Great product.

The paint in Matte went on beautifully, color is true. Re decorated my office, I love it. I used 2 colors, the darker Azure Lake as an accent for desk area and Ethereal Blue for the rest of the office space. It is bright and inspiring.

Excellent paint.... one coat was all it took.

It covers smoothly and goes on lusciously. I would recommend this paint to everyone!

it really is one coat coverage which I love!!. My room looks awesome

this paint was so good i bought more gallons of other colors and painted 2 more rooms just using 1 single coat

One coat did an amazing job! Love this brand almost repainted my whole house with it!

I thought for sure we would have to do 2 coats, but I covered everything with 1. Worth the cost because of all the time I saved.

I have used many paints. I have a furniture store and paint all day long. This is by far the best coverage paint.

This paint is awesome and it really is only a one coat paint! I absolutely love the way or rooms turned out with this paint in "FROST".

I bought about 6 cans of their marquee paint, and its not cheap. I thought I'd splurge and buy higher quality paint, that would have better coverage and would only require 1 coat. Well, I was wrong. Even though I was painting with a white color, over walls that I primed with white primer, it still didn't cover in one coat, even with a thick application. I should have stuck with the cheaper stuff. Also I bought several other products of theirs (outdoor paint, porch and floor paint, and their alkyd paint) and was having several issues with it and tried contacting Behr through their websites on several occasions and never go a response. So disappointed in Behr, after spending so much on their products!!!

Excellent coverage, very durable, loved the beautiful shade of green, not the price-. Expensive!! $40 something a gallon.. But now a days ya get what ya pay for .. Just was an oucher!!

Simply Horrible! After rolling the paint over a light blue color, you could see nearly every roll mark. The previous color is very visible. And the paint did not roll well in contrast to where I went around trim with an edger. I would not recommend this premium paint. I would urge consumers to purchase the less expensive option, since either way the application will require two coats. Color- Polar Bear White

Very good paint covered in 1 coat no problem

One coat and that's all over! Covered Mickey's Pants red in one coat!

I am very pleased with the Marquee paint. It covered in one coat, had very little smell and looks great! I will be purchasing this paint in the future for other rooms.
