Huge Disappointment
I worked in Home Depot's paint depart for 2 years and Behr was always such a standup brand. I've used it on all of the projects for the last 27 years. I decided to paint my kitchen cabinets. I prepped them properly, used the kitchen, cabinet and trim primer by Behr, applying 2 coats & then I used the Cabinet /Trim paint to which I had to apply anywhere from 2-4 coats on! All cured and dried before any other coat was placed. Now the paint is peeling! Contacted Behr still waiting for a response

Hi Tina, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about your experience using the Cabinet, Door and Trim Semi-Gloss Paint. Typically, this should cover in two coats when applied to a primed surface. Additional coats can be applied after just two hours of drying. However, if that paint is allowed to cure for 7 days or more before another coat is applied, scuff sanding the glossy surface may be needed for proper adhesion. Nonetheless, your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback and for reaching out to us directly. Our customer care team is happy to help you! - Randy Behr
    Bubbles up
    I purchased two colors and now have to go return the second one. Was told it was because I made it darker, then because it was cold, but no because this second one was not modified and same issues. Don’t bother with this because it’s up to luck. I used all kinds of rollers, brushes, and it delayed my projects by 3 weeks because I’m a twin mom and have babies with limited time. Unbelievable, just use what they recommend, scuff defense paint.

    Hi Angie24, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the bubbling you experienced when using the Cabinet, Door and Trim Paint. That is not the experience we want for our customers. If this has not been fixed yet, we recommend sanding the surface smooth using 180-220 grit sandpaper, clean, and let dry before touching up or recoating. Priming is recommended if sanded down to the previous coating or bare surface. That said, we always encourage our customers to reach out to us directly for one-on-one service and to further help with their projects. If you're willing to work with us directly, please contact our Customer Care team so we can get more info about your project and provide a comprehensive solution to your issue. We hope to hear from you soon! - Randy Behr

        Beautiful results
        I bought a townhouse with very low quality cabinetry. Didn’t really have the budget to replace everything but I wanted to paint it at least. I’m not much of a DIY-er, so I scrub the cabinets with a liquid D gloss her and went to work with this paint. The results were way better than I could have imagined. I used a brush on some spots and a roller on other spots and it actually came out even and you couldn’t tell which surface used. Why! It dried so evenly!

          Paint that Pops
          Super easy to work with, goes on smooth and dry time is perfect. I’ve used this paint for both cabinets and doors. Fiji was a perfect fit for our color combination.

            disappointed
            Picked up the paint, went to apply paint to trim work and paint was blue not black. Was told there are no refunds on this item. Makes me hesitant to purchase any more paint. Aside from this issue which may be a store problem, I absolutely love behr paint.

              Very easy to use and cures well. It’s a different consistency (thicker) but has great coverage.

              cracks
              did everything Behr mentions in this response from Ronald Behr( had to edit a bit can not put all words here), still have cracks!!! Hi Rodd, . Sorry to hear that the Cabinet& Trim Paint cracked over the caulking. it is recommended to apply the paint over a primed surface. This may be why the paint cracked. I'd recommend sanding the cracks smooth and priming the surface with our Kitchen, Bath & Trim Primer before touching up with paint. Customer satisfaction is important to us, . -RonaldBehr

                Be prepared for multiple coats
                This paint was very thin. It took 3 coats to cover. I should have spent an extra $20 and bought Benjamin Moore and saved myself a lot of time. It does look nice when finished.

                  Really disappointed, cracks over latex caulk
                  I built a bench in my mudroom. I primed all of the boards before assembly and then caulked the small gaps with Alex Plus caulk. I have used this process countless times before. The paint cracked over every caulk joint. The manufacturer really needs to be a lot clearer on the label when it comes to paint prep with latex caulk. Really disappointed.

                  Hi Bhart, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about your paint cracking. That is not typical, and I can understand your disappointment. Our Cabinet, Door & Trim Enamel should adhere to paintable caulk, given that it has been prepared beforehand. To fix the cracking, I recommend letting the paint dry for 24 hours before gently sanding the surface with 180-240 grit sandpaper to remove the loose coating. Make sure the area is clean and dry before priming the bare spots with our Kitchen, Bath, & Trim Primer (No. 75) and touching up the boards. Recoat the surface if needed for uniformity.

                    Cracks over Dap Alex Plus caulk
                    This product has cracks over all caulking that I applied after properly cleaning and priming woodwork. I applied this with a quality Wooster brush as I have with other paints many many times before. There are cracks over everywhere that I applied Dap Alex Plus caulk. I allowed the caulk to dry 5 days before applying the first coat. On flat surfaces it is fine, but it cracked over all places that were caulked. I don’t know what I I am going to do now. I have wasted time and money!!!

                      Color is not as pictured
                      This is listed as navy blue, with a picture shown of the color, like a darker moody blue (which is what I was going for), and it definitely came out as royal blue. Very annoyed and disappointed.

                        Orange Peel is bad!
                        Been using SW Emerald with really good results on my cabinets but they couldn’t mix the color I wanted. HD guy said ‘no problem! Did a test piece on a new piece of 3/4” birch plywood. Sanded, primed, sanded, cleaned and applied the first coat using a 4” 1/4” nap roller. Immediately I knew it was going to be a problem as it orange peeled right away. Just as bad after a second coat. So disappointed! But a good thing I did a test piece before starting in my finished pieces.

                          Beautiful Color
                          Compass Blue is a beautiful color but not as dark as you would think from the sample card. Made my door look new.

                              The finish
                              Beautiful finish on my wooden kitchen cabinets. I used cherry cola color and after through sanding, and painting with the semi gloss three coats it’s perfect like factory finish. Paint was easy to apply with spray and dried quickly. Three coats applied same day. It’s been two weeks since and love it.

                                Don’t bother with this paint
                                If you are going to spray this all in one shot with a high quality sprayer it’s fine. Hit or miss with Graco 360 VSP tips. Gets tacky almost immediately upon application and does not level after that. Since it says “DO NOT THIN” even though it clearly needs the working time extended and is too thick to shoot reliably I’m going to stop using it. When I tested all of the trim paints at HD, this was the best one and it still suffers from the too thick nature of Behr paint.

                                  Roiled it on my flush doors, looks great. The bad news is it cracks on top of caulking. I tried different caulks and priming, still crackles.

                                  Hi there, thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that the Cabinet Door & Trim Enamel started cracking on top of the calking. If the caulking is in an area that is moved when the door is opened and closed, that could cause the paint to crack. Also make sure that you are using a caulk that can be painted over.

                                    Would use a different paint in the future
                                    I used this paint to paint my kitchen cabinets black. I washed with tsp, sanded, and primed with Behr and then did two coats of this paint. Its patchy and you can see where the roller ended and paint brush strokes. It looked great when wet but dried to show all these flaws. I used Magnolia paint on my bathroom vanities and it looks beautiful, no brush or roller marks and it took a lot less paint and coats for a uniform look. I'm stuck with having used Behr now, but would use Magnolia next time.

When applying the paint, you want to keep a wet edge and not overwork the paint.

                                      Dark colored paint is a waste of $$
                                      Bought this paint as recommended by HD employee. We painted our upper kitchen cabinets an off white, exact same process of cleaning, sanding and priming. Exact same paint, except color. These cabinets get just as much use as our lowers. Uppers have held up great. The lowers, we got deep blue sea, it's a "navy" color, the paint seems tachy in some areas, scuffs and chips SO easily. When lightly cleaning with water, paint color comes off on rag. I'm having to redo ALL lower cabinets. Waste of $!

                                      Hi Dana, thank you for your review, Sorry to hear that you are having to redo your lower cabinets. The Cabinet & Trim Paint typically cures in about 7 days, darker colors can take a little longer. If the paint has been applied for longer than a week, I'd recommend lightly cleaning the coating with soap and water and it should help remove the tackiness.

                                        Behr sage brush S370-3
                                        The enamel paint for cabinets is great. My problem is with the color sage brush s370-3. This is in no way Sage. It is MINT. Think Girl Scout cookie thin mint green. I looked at it in cool light and warm light. Kept the piece I painted in the well lit kitchen for 24 hours with natural day light. . It was mint in all lighting. Nothing about this color is earthy sage. Thank goodness that HD will re-tint your paint. I was able to get a more satisfying color. It’s not sage either but I’ll take it.

                                          Seems like it will hold up except for the areas that are touched a lot, like the edges of the counter where people lean up against. It’s been 3 months and those areas already need touching up. Everything else looks great. I did use a liquid cleanser, scuffed up the finish and applied two coats of primer before applying two coats of the cabinet enamel.
