Covered bad job
Got paint from a competitor, and it left streaks and lap marks. Two coats of this paint and it covered and left a nearly flawless finish. Mixed with a 5 gallon paint mixer.

    Pro Painter Review
    Best ceiling paint on the market. We started using Behr after our other supplier ran out of stock. So glad I did, coverage is great, it’s a great true bright white, and it’s thick enough to avoid splatter (as long as you know how to paint). Thanks Behr, keep up the excellent work! -ProSharp Painting STL

      3rd gallon didn’t match at all
      We bought this paint to update our beige ceilings to white. Ceilings are hard to paint anyway (in my opinion) and white on white to get nice coverage is a pain. When we ran out of paint again (it’s not a large area) I purchased a 3rd gallon- straight off shelf white paint. This time the paint is not the same color meaning I’ve to paint the entire area again! I’m so frustrated.

        Not happy
        I was going over a white ceiling paint. Put a coat of Zinnser 123 primer . Rolled 3 coats of white ceiling paint. Still looks bad. Second coat looked better than third coat. I even changed directions. North to south, to east and west rolls. Used a Home Depot best roller. Always had a wet edge never dry. I’m a 30 year painter. So not happy. I know a quality paint stores paint wouldn’t do that. Two color coats should always be enough. Especially covering the same color. Now I’m buying a better paint for the fourth coat.

          Do not buy this!
          This paint is garbage. I don’t know how it’s getting good reviews unless people are putting it over an exactly matching color. I used 5 coats of this over a primer to cover a dark ceiling. That’s 5 cans of this stuff, and at the point where my hand has gone completely numb, I went to a paint store for quality paint, and covered the ceiling flawlessly in one coat. I wasted 3 days!!! Do yourself a favor, buy the can of quality paint and finish your project in less than a month!

            Truly flat matte paint finish for ceiling
            I have tried MARQUEE AND BEHR PAINT AND PRIMER the ones are more expensive ones and i had to repaint it over with this one cheaper version and thinner paint because this one leaves a truly flat look on my smooth ceiling, other ones was leaving uneven sheen or streaks that are visible at semi-shaded time during the day

              Horrible
              Horrible product, does not have any impregnation at all, tried to even the paint with the roller change to a different roll ,the paint just came right off , same results with the finishing brush. Terrible texture and waste of time . Behr should invest time on trying the product on actual and real jobs .

              Hi Tonny, thanks for taking the time to review our Premium Plus Ceiling Paint. I'm sorry to hear you didn't get the coverage you expected and that the paint came off when you changed rollers; this isn't the experience we want our customers to have. Our Premium Plus paint is self-priming, so the first coat acts as a primer while additional coats provide coverage. And if you see some areas that need to be touched up, I recommend waiting until the recoat time has passed to prevent the paint from peeling itself off. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, so feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly for further assistance. They are always happy to help. Enjoy the rest of your day. -Christina Behr

                Very Disappointed
                Ceiling was new drywall primed with a USG product. It looked good after the primer; white and smooth. 1st coat of Behr looked blotchy and inconsistent in color and texture. Applied a 2nd coat hoping it would look better; it didn’t. Coverage was 230 sq ft so I bought a 2nd 2 gallon pail of paint. 3rd coat went on like before except this paint was leaving paint chips on the ceiling. I had to stop painting to strain the brand new pail of paint. 3rd coat looked even worse than previous coats.

                  Looks terrible / started over with better paint
                  Unfortunately this was recommended by the paint department and we picked it up. 2-3 coats later and 8 hours waisted. Started over with a better paint. Terrible product and unfortunately it’s being recommended, do not buy unless you want to waist time and money. Employees should not be recommending this when you have much better options at the same price point with features like pink that dries white for easy application and actual one coat compared to giving up after never ending coats of behr

                    Poor Coverage
                    I have been painting all of my life, professionally for almost 10 years and for myself and others for an additional 30 years. This paint was average to fair. My major complaint is that it did not cover well, even though the ceiling had previously been painted four years ago and was still in great condition. I have never had much luck with Behr paint products and try to avoid them whenever possible.

                      Painters tape will peel paint
                      Be careful taping edges with this paint. I painted the whole room one color and waited at least a month before painting the trim another color. When I peeled the tape off the edges it peeled the first color off the wall so now I've got a ton of touch up work to do.

                        Thought I'd covered well it had the right flow. Pretty much satisfied with the product but the lids are hard to open. I like the look at the ceiling after I'm done using this product.

                        Nicotine Gone!
                        I couldn't wait to get off the ladder to write this review. I painted the suspended ceiling in my Lanai with this paint. The Lanai is our smoking room so the ceiling was nicotine stained and this paint covered it, in one coat. I couldn't believe it. I didn't pre-wash the grid work or anything, I just started painting. The picture shows part of the painted & unpainted metal grid. The part of the ceiling tile you see, is already painted. Another plus is no splatter & low odor...highly recommend!

                            The absolute WORST
                            Bought this paint to do a small kitchen, five coats deep and it keeps looking worse. This is with 2 coats of primer. It actually looked much better with just the primer coat. Terrible product. Behr should be ashamed. They lost a customer for life.

                              They shouldnt even label this as white ceiling paint. Its pretty much white colored water. Coverage was terrible after multiple coats. Dont waste your time painting your ceiling with this like I did

                              Hello Mgomes4673, thank you for your review. I’m so sorry the paint was like water and didn’t cover after multiple coats. I recommend stirring the paint in the can to see if it goes back to a creamy consistency. If not, it’s best to use a new container and recoat if only 2 coats have been applied so far. If 3 or more coats have been applied, I recommend recoating with our regular Premium Plus Interior Flat Paint No. 1050 instead. This should help provide better coverage for your ceiling.

                                Hi Fadi - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the lack of coverage and roller marks on your ceiling! At this point, I recommend allowing your last coat to dry for at least 24 hours as the extra dry time may allow the finish to even itself out. If the coverage and roller marks are still visible after 24 hours, I recommend applying a new coat to your ceiling with our Premium Plus Interior Flat for a uniform finish. For further assistance with your project, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We'd be happy to help. - Sara Behr
                                  Left a terrible texture
                                  To be fair we have a harsh environment because of how the light from the windows is cast across the ceiling and because our ceiling is perfectly flat. Painted the ceiling and this left really deep texture where each row overlapped. It seemed like the paint was drying too fast but it needed another coat anyway because of show through. Painted again with a different technique, same issue. Sanded the whole thing and painted again with yet another technique, same issue. Contacted Behr Paint Support. Sanded the ceiling again and painted with Behr Marquee Ceiling Flat, which did not have the same issue but had it's own issue with inconsistent sheen (none of it flat). Sanded it down and painted with paint from a different vendor and it looks perfect, except faint spots where you can still see texture issues from the first three coats despite having sanded it twice since then. I wish I had never used this paint because my ceiling would look better if I hadn't. On the plus side, Behr Paint Support was very pleasant to work with.

                                  Hello Luke, thank you for your review. I’m so sorry the paint left a texture and dried too fast. To remove any remaining texture, I recommend lightly sanding the affected areas smooth with 180-240 grit sandpaper, cleaning the surface and letting it dry, then touching up with paint. And I’m sorry to hear that you had an inconsistent sheen with our Marquee Ceiling Paint as well. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback.
