Customer Reviews for BEHR PREMIUM 5 gal. #901 Silver Gray Self-Priming 1-Part Epoxy Satin Interior/Exterior Concrete and Garage Floor Paint

Five days after applying was raining and was all messed

Do not buy this product absolute waste of your money! I bought 2 gallons of this and within 24 hours of completing this project it was chipping without anything being put into the garage. Nothing was driven or moved against the floor and it chipped this bad! We grinded the floor and we cleaned the floor like we were suppose to prior and still it turned out like this! Terrible! Waste of your time to apply it and your money! Can’t believe what they charge per gallon for results like that

Great product! Goes on like melted ice cream. Covers fully. Hard finish. Looks great!

Don't buy. We followed all the instructions, etched the surface, scrubbed and dried prior to application. It peels and lifts. I pulled up a piece of painters tape that dropped on the floor and it took the paint off. Move something it scratch off. It continues! We went to the home Depot store for a refund it has a limited warranty one year. They wouldn't take it back. Behr doesn't allow them to give refunds. We have to call Behr DIRECTLY to get a refund. Bad product, service and inconvenient!

As you all know this is a crazy expensive Epoxy paint which supposedly has primer within it I used it for my shop floor which is almost 3,000 ft and after only a few days especially near the door openings where more moisture is present here in Western New York the paint is all chipping and bubbling up after all the money spent I am literally sick because I just don't have any more funds to pour into the floor so I am buying some floor rugs to throw down to cover up this crappy paint until I can afford the totally remove and replace it I'm hoping that dry lock will work better yes like the other reviews you really really should stop selling this paint after spending over $500 on two of the large buckets I totally

this driveway was very ugly and necessitating attention with that product I made it look new again

so far so good. I'm curious as to why my 3rd can of the same exact stuff looks so different? the sheen, the texture. completely different that I thought I bought the wrong stuff. see attached photo.

Floor was etched with Muriatic acid, cleaned and paint applied 3 days after etching. We used flakes bought at Home Depot for more color to slate gray. Floor was left to dry for 5 days and than we applied the Rust-Oleum clear for 1 part epoxy and let dry for additional 3 days. First night drove car in garage pulled paint off at wheels( total time off floor3 weeks). We now have places peeling everywhere. This was unpainted garage floor and was not new concrete. Now we have a mess. Talked to Behr and sending new paint to redo

I did all the steps properly and applied two coats of this paint. Literally the first time we pulled a car in the heat from the parked tires pealed this paint

Followed instructions to a T... moving everything back into the garage and I find this already. Complete waste of time and money- DO NOT BUY.

This was too bad i painted this 3 weeks back and i got my car into garage last night and the paint went off

Paint my concrete that was done in Jan this year ,painted the concrete and two weeks after paint flaked I called behr rep and he said to call behr directly Their service horrible this paint is useless

This is an updated review to my first one below. It has been a month or so and the “epoxy” is already peeling off/getting picked up by the tires. This should NOT be advertised for driveway. The concrete is as porous and rough as it can be, yet this “epoxy” is flaking. $200+ straight to the trash. Go with something better as this doesn’t have “an improved” adhesion. Not user error as The Rustoleum’s 2-part epoxy I applied in garage is still looking like new. I want my money back!!!

Mixed well and went down smoothly. Love the finished product.

For driveway with no oil stains or the like. Prep included pressure washing as the concrete slab had grooves and felt like sandpaper to the touch, no sealer on it. Product applied easily but 5-gallon only covered one coat of 700sqft so the coverage numbers are not accurate. Waited 8 days to drive car on it and left tire marks. Tried to wash off with garden hose and some of the paint peeled off in sections. Also got random pin holes after curing. Not happy having to buy more of this to fix.

We had professionals paint our cement floor and less than a week after the paint is peeling right off with every wash. So disappointing because we spent a lot of money on product and labor to make it look worse than it originally was.

Different shades when purchased the same item. I purchased 3 gallons the last gallon was a different shade and had to repaint everything

I have used many epoxies to finish concrete floors and this is the first one I've ever seen have pretty much no adhesion to the surface at all. Everything was properly prepared in the way explained on the can. As soon as curing was done and people were allowed to walk on these floors they were torn all to heck within a day. I am including some pictures after doing a light wash to remove the loose epoxy so that we could use a different product. Basically all this product came up.

Followed directions from store paint department employee, cleaned floor with degreaser, treated with muriatic acid, pressure washed, rinsed a couple more times again with hose, allow that to dry for two days. Applied two coats of this product and allowed to dry for three weeks before putting the car or anything else back on. First time putting the car in the garage it left black tire tread impressions immediately on the paint. Third time I put the car in the garage it peeled the paint up underneath the tires. Also, I noticed whenever I set anything on the floor that has any weight to do it when I pick it up the paint comes up with it. I applied this over a previously painted floor that was approximately 24 years old, the Home Depot paint department employee had me do a test with denatured alcohol And assured me this was the right product that would adhere to the existing paint. Very disappointing, now what do I do???

Followed directions from store paint department employee, cleaned floor with degreaser, treated with muriatic acid, pressure washed, rinsed again with hose, allow that to dry for two days. Applied two coats of this product and allowed to dry for three weeks just to be sure. Third time I put the car in the garage it peeled the paint up underneath the tires and left black marks from the tires. Very disappointing, now what do I do???

A professional applied this product Oct. '22. He said wouldn't guarantee its adhesion due to extreme temperature fluctuations in zip 48095. Since we'd had his work done previously in our garage and lower level we trusted him, and Behr. It was beautiful in the beginning. But in November with the cold weather approaching, the coating started peeling off, bubbling off, and blowing all around our property. In fact, I could flip it off with a thin piece of cardboard. Now it's going to cost us over $2k to have the remainder sanded off and removed. PLUS, hire another company to come and vacuum up all the smaller pieces that below around on the grass and down the road. Please avoid this product !!

If you even consider in your dreams of using it in your garage! DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. It's just a terrible product. After 1 month, it will peel off. ( and note for BEHR reps responding to those reviews - please save your breath, your product it's worthless C^R^A^P period.) Any water after driving in from the rain - it will peel off, just rolling the car - it will peel off, wash the floor with mild soap - it will peel off. STAY AWAY worst product I've purchased in 10 years!!

Despite following all application instructions, this started peeling off my garage floor the first winter (its only been on my floor a few months)

Exact match to help finish the job. Took a five gallon and half gallon to complete garage, back & front patio.

Pressure washed floor, let dry, muriatic acid and pressure washed twice more times just to be safe. Let dry in 70 degree weather. Applied as per instructions, 2 weeks later rolled my motorcycle into floor with COLD tires. Next day both tires lifted coating. 3 months later decided to park car, COLD tires. All 4 tires lifted coating ! Waste of money !!! Expect some deflection of a Home Depot response to this on how I did it wrong as per package and Home Depot’s “paint manager”.

I bought this BEHR epoxy garage coating this summer and followed all directions to a T! We never drove/walked on it for 30 days just to be safe. The first time it rained and the garage door was opened, it left little bubbles where the water had dripped down. I dried them carefully but things just continued to go downhill from there. We got a large snowstorm in November and the floor just started to bubble and peel everywhere. It is so embarrassing as we have had family over through the holidays and everyone walking on our disgusting ruined floor. I have read the responses to others having the same issues and it seems there is no responsibility on the part of Behr...they just want you to "redo" it. I spent so much time and money on this project to have this less than mediocre paint fail.

I followed all the directions including not parking in my garage for 3 weeks. But the first rain my garage saw rain in Los Angeles it started to bubble up. It is less than two months old and now my garage looks worse than before I spend money and time applying this product. I

This garage paint is an excellent choice for DIYers. Easy to apply and has a nice finish. I did two coats after etching concrete on my garage floors. After two coats I did a clear coat to seal and came out fantastic.

I painted my parking floor, following complete instructions of this product. I didn’t park the car for almost 10 days (even though the instructions say 7 days), but tire marks are being left and some part are peeled. It’s been a month and marks are being left. Now I have to do all the work again with a better product. Surprisingly the Home Depot refused the return saying that more than half of the product is used. I mean how could you know if a product is good unless you use it?

Read the reviews and assumed the poor ratings were from improperly prepped floors- nope! Washed several times, acid etched twice and rinsed. Paint came off where tire missed cardboard a full month after painting. I honestly think latex house paint would stick better! Spend the money and get the two part epoxy if you are going to spend hours prepping to paint. Dissatisfied with Behr- they are better than this!
