Never Again!
I've used Behr paint for decades and always been happy but this one was so thick it was like painting with Elmer's glue. I was going over walls that had a light/shallow, 3 week old layer of professional "orange peel" coating after some drywall repairs and it was so thick it wouldn't fill the valleys. It also dried so slowly that if I tried to go back to touch-up a small area that hadn't covered well, the new paint would drag through the first layer, using brush or roller. I normally have beautiful results but think I'm going to have to choose another paint to go over this again. Oh and the bathroom is less than 150 sq ft and I have a half inch left in the bottom of the can, when it says a gallon should cover 400 sq ft. As I said, never again and next time I'll use a separate quality primer and then color coat it.

Hello LindaA, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear your paint was thicker than anticipated and didn't cover your surface as expected. Each gallon of our Premium Plus Paint covers about 250-400 Sq. Ft. Keep in mind that more porous or textured surfaces will soak in more paint. To ensure proper paint consistency, we recommend stirring your paint for 3-5 minutes before using it. To ensure proper coverage on a medium to rougher textured surface, such as orange peel walls, we'd recommend using a 3/8" or 3/4" nap roller. Customer satisfaction is important to us. Please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly with any questions you may have or for assistance. Have a great day. -Joanna Behr

    Great Gray Color
    We painted our whole main level and upstairs hall in the satin. We liked it so much we painted our basement Winds Breath. It has a more lavender undertone that I really like.

      Glue like paint...
      I'm astonished at the number of positive reviews on this paint. It's some of the worst I've EVER used. Goes on like GLUE. You can thin it I guess, but really great paint doesn't need thinning. Coverage is bad, too. Pics are after 2 coats over cream doors. Will now need 3. Spend the extra and buy Benjamin Moore. Sure wish I had.

      Hi MaryKate,

      Thank you for reviewing Behr Premium Plus Interior Paint & Primer-in-One. I'm very sorry to hear about the coverage and consistency issues experienced, as it certainly isn't what we want our customers to go through. I understand this must've been disappointing and encourage you to contact Behr's Customer Care Department for further assistance with this matter. We'd love to find a way to help.

      Kindest regards,

      Doris Behr

        I took off a piece of the wall paint and went to Home Depot to find the match color. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the system was able to analysis the color, and it works great ! it matches the original wall color.

        Pink room for a 14 year old.
        After choosing six samples we finally agreed on beloved pink. My home walls are painted with Behr paint. I usually use a marquis but this time I went with premium plus for her bedroom. She really enjoys it and that's what's most important we also used a paint handgun machine for the first time and Behr paint work beautifully here are some photos. Also I forgot to mention that we special Behr ceiling paint for her ceiling.

          Behr Ultra Paint/primer exterior paint
          I have a stained, old, stucco chimney(photo 1) and wanted to paint it to match my new vinyl siding. After doing some homework, decided to use Behr Ultra Exterior paint. Was I satisfied? Look at the photo #2. I was very happy. Looks great and hide the stains that were on the stucco. Will buy again. Thanks Behr.... William

            We have used Behr paint for over 20 years on our personal and rental properties. It holds up to time, easy to clean-up after use, and even after 10 years the walls look great and can be wiped clean. The coverage is great on primered drywall and over a dark paint. I especially like that the toxic smells are not bad at all. The only issue is that it does hold up so long that our house interior and exterior is the same color for 15 years now! Why, repaint if the paint still looks great?

              Best paint ever
              I used this Behr paint in my house and found it to cover and blend well. It seemed to glide on and made the job so easy. I wanted to paint an accent wall a shade lighter and went to a competitor to buy the paint. Omg, their brand was “sticky” and required so much effort. I regret not going to Home Depot for that last project. I swear by Behr.

                We painted the office with Natural Gray with Eggshell enamel. It turned out to be very nice.

                  Definitely 5 star paint, great coverage. Only gave four stars though because I feel the stock photo could be misleading.... it looks more like a dark charcoal gray but be aware it is straight BLACK. Luckily my son loved it, but just so you know.

                  This paint was a disaster! After a 2 week wait for it to finally arrive (the company was running behind due to higher demand) the results were frustrating. The coverage was horrible and we ended up having to get a different brand (Sherwin-Williams) to save our sanity. We contacted customer service for Behr and after they guessed at many causes (needs a 3rd coat, wall surface, previous paint, etc.) they finally agreed to refund our purchase (after offering to send us their highest quality paint so we could “roll the dice” and paint it AGAIN with Behr). Of course the refund will take 4 to 6 weeks to process (?). This is our 4th house and we’ve painted many rooms (including other rooms in this house) and never had issues like this so I highly doubt it was our abilities... this paint was simply inferior! I need to stress this a NOTHING to do with Home Depot just Behr.

                  Hi Jack, thank you for your review, and I am sorry to hear about the coverage. This paint typically takes 1-2 coats for full coverage, and it may take more than that for drastic color changes. However, I am glad you reached out to us to help. Keep in mind that the check doesn't take that long to process, but it can take that long to receive as it's sent by mail. You may receive it sooner than that. Either way, if you're unsatisfied with our offer to you, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly again; we can see what else we can do to help out. -Edith Behr
