    New to exterior painting and this paint was affordable and easy to apply with a sprayer.
    First experience with exterior paint and using an airless sprayer. Decent paint but a little thin. Took 2 coats and could use a 3rd to cover to my satisfaction. Drys fast, adheres well, no odor. We will see how well it lasts and holds up to the AZ sun.

    Error with paint formula
    My problems arose when I did a reorder of this color in 1 gallon containers (from 2 previous orders of 5 gallons). I wanted to make sure the colors were spot on for touch up jobs so i reordered online from my account. Somehow the formula doesn't translate to the 1 gallon and it comes out too light. This happened twice so its not human error. Also, I wrote Behr.com about the issue and haven't heard from anyone.

    Hi PaintingFool - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the single gallon cans you purchased are lighter than the 5-gallon buckets! I recommend checking to see if the color was mixed correctly by comparing the paper swatch to the dried paint dab on your paint cans. If they match, the color is correct, and we recommend bringing in a sample of the color from your 5-gallon buckets so it can be computer color matched at the store. For further assistance with this, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We'd be happy to help make this right. - Sara Behr

    Great exterior paint
    Used on metal window headers. Headers were rusting badly, so i sanded and primed and then painted. Very nice smooth application. Good coverage No dripping Easy cleanup. Made the job fast and easy. Would recommend.

    Premium paint??? No
    Bought two gallons of Behr premium plus and thoroughly cut and rolled the walls with pole extension and I can actually see the pigment in the "Drip" color paint separate. I have been an Artist for over 20 years and I have had experience with low quality paint doing this before. I realize that I am not a professional painter but I know poor quality paint when I see it. I'm now out $100 for all supplies bought and have a bad back!!!

      I have used the interior and exterior BEHR paint and find them both excellent paints. I got the white to repaint the trim around my garage door. I have also used BEHR exterior paint to paint an old wooden table and rocker in a dark burgundy and they stay outside year-round and haven't faded yet. Getting a quality paint to begin with is a lot easier than going back and repainting.

      This product is average; it lacks opaqueness. I applied kilz primer before applying the behr product and it still required up to 3 coats before becoming opaque. However, the finished application looks nice.

            I bought this paint in a ‘Thickened Cream’ color for my exterior trim, door, and garage door. The product has exceeded my expectations in every possible way. The texture of the paint was thick enough to be self-priming although for dry rot or distressed wood I did use a different product to seal and prime first. I put on two coats using a brush and a roller and found the coverage to be very good over both wood and metal. I bought extra paint thinking I would need more but the manufacturer specified coverage is accurate. I did not try it with a sprayer. The paint is not drippy at all and dried rapidly. I used to buy other brands but the extra cost for this paint is worth it. You could say I am now a ‘Behr-liever’.

              Painted my fan on the lanai, older model. Love the color, went on easy. Gave it two coats to give it a solid look. Clean up with soap and water is great. Love Behr paints.

              We painted our home in Leadville, CO back in 2005 with this Exterior Paint (5 Gallons). Fifteen (15) years later, I had to do some replacing of some wood paneling. I had a picture of the label so knew exactly what to purchase (Behr Premium Plus, Hampton Green, Satin Enamel Exterior). With the sun fade over time at 10,200 ft elevation, the color was exactly the same as before (see the photo). I know that it will last me another 15 years. Bought 3 gallons this time around. I would highly recommend this paint. A+++

              light green not my idea of prairie
              Bought this to paint my art studio and thought it was a good cooor match for my siding but it actually looks like a light lime chiffon color. Its very nice just nit the prairie tone I was anticipating.

                  Family choice for deck color!
                  Here I wanted to cover my first impression of Behr patio paints, i.e., three different paints. All have different color. Two different bases [before you read all below have to confess: I am a big fan of Behr paints, hard to find in my house any other type of paints] Back to the point. I have evaluated the following paints: - Premium PFC-33 Washed Khaki Textured Lustre Enamel Interior/Exterior Porch and Patio Anti-Slip Floor Paint - Premium PFC-68 Silver Gray Textured Low-Lustre Enamel Interior/Exterior Porch and Patio Anti-Slip Floor Paint - Premium plus S130-7 Cherry Cola exterior satin. My application is wooden deck. I applied all paints on a small area to see how they will look. All look good and holding great (at least for a few days). My family voted for Cherry Cola (we had something similar, but custom blend before). However, I made mistake (that you can use to learn) you better to order textured enamel – it feels much better for barefoot and according to claim (which I believe 100%) it provides anti-slip properties. Washed Khaki or Silver Gray colors are perfect color for fence. Silver gray will look good in your garage. Both PFC paints are much thicker then S130-7 and will require some effort to mix (though when fresh color was distributed perfectly!). On flat and horizontal surfaces it is pleasure to roll with thick paints where you can roll and distribute them evenly. Though, I have perception that thin paint will penetrate pores and “cracks” of either fresh of weathered wood better (and thus be bound and protect wood for longer time). All paints will require at least two layers to provide good and uniform coverage. Take that into consideration when ordering. PFC paints can cover more than S130-7 per claims on website (I guess that is again connected to lower penetration of PFCs into pores and cracks due higher thickness) Remember to use Behr’s All-In-One Wood and Deck Cleaner prior application for best long lasting performance. Anyway I can confidently recommend all paints (as I never was wrong by choosing Behr paints)!

                    Used to cover on old fence before painting with base cover paint. It is pretty thick had to thin a bit with water to properly use with spray gun. I highly recommend using for primer base on most surfaces to get the great paint cover when using a laytex or enamel paints for great coverage.
