I needed to repaint the pipe fence that had faded out and looked rusty. I wanted a brown color that would be a close match. This color was a nice brown with orangey tan tones. It was glossy enough to give the fence a shiny sheen. It was easy to paint with a glove. We did disconnect the netting and used sandpaper to clean the pipe first. It took two coats to cover the stroke marks. We are very happy with the results.

Worst paint I’ve ever used. I bought 1 quart to paint a frame around a new door that I stupidly didnt have the door company prepaint. Big mistake. This paint sucks bigtime. It is not one coat, goes on terribly, dries while applying, does not spread, drips, has 0 coverage. It looked like it would take 20 coats to match the door paint. I’m returning it as well as a gallon and another quart I bought for an interior room. This one was burgandy matched to mmi door, color did not match by the way, ovr white primer. This cost $25 for one court, it is garbage.

Hi Meowangel,

Thank you for reviewing our paint. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get the 1-coat coverage you were expecting and the paint was difficult to use! Typically our Ultra paint line will cover in 1-2 coats (or 2-3 for more dramatic color changes). To fix the finish, I recommend applying another coat. Before recoating, you also have the option to add up to 4 ounces of water (per gallon) which will help extend the dry time. For further assistance with your project, please feel free to reach out to us directly. Our Customer Care team is happy to help! - Sara Behr

    Too early to rate this product as it was just applied a week ago. Let's see how well it holds up after several years of weathering in northern climate. It applied fairly easy but would h.g ave required 2 coats or more if not applied over a primer.

    Love the color of Florence brown with the Cella yellow on my Garage. I have enough faith in this paint that I used on wood trim and door, vinyl shutters on house and metal fascia and metal roll up garage door. We will see how long it last.

    Another easy to apply gallon. One coat coverage. Requires little brushing. Trying to "brush it out" makes no difference. One thick application seems self levelling. Brush marks smooth out. Just spread enough to prevent sags. Used this on metal bulkhead so applied two coats for added durability. Have painted our homes Masonite siding twice. Stopped swelling and didn't peel except where previous, "original," paint continued to, but not where it had. Sanded siding with 80 grit to roughen surface. Great coverage even when changing color. Only once, light pewter over burgandy, required second coat. Highly recommend. Prefer this paint over all brands used in forty plus years of homeowner painting and a few other houses, interior and exterior. No priming, little mixing required, even after setting. This is the best because of ease of application, durability, even when cleaned.

    I have been using this paint (even before the primer was added) on exterior of my house. Semi-gloss is well worth it !! It washes clean easy with a regular hose (I use a pressure washer to save water) and lasts much longer than flat.

    Hi Lovetopaint,

    Thank you for review, and I am sorry to hear you didn't get the expected coverage. The product can take 1-2 coats to cover, and for drastic color changes, it can take more than that. If this wasn't the case for you, please contact us directly to help. We want to help in any way we can. -Edith Behr

    Exceptional paint. Used airless sprayer to apply to metal garage door. Only one coat was needed. Door looks like new and the surface is smooth and durable. I will be using this paint when I paint the whole house.

    Paint went on easy and smooth, front porch and garage trim needed two coats. Front door trim needed three coats to cover. Paint should last at least 5 to 6 years, as it is a good quailty paint. Overall it's a good product.

    I've been using this paint now for several years. Although it is rated Exterior use, I use it in the Interior too. I'm no expert, but I've used lots of different paints over the years. Now, I only purchase this one because I love the sheen and durability. It is so easy to wipe clean and very durable. I always do at least 2 to 3 thin coats allowing it to dry in between coats. It comes out great every time. I do mix in a little water sometimes to get the perfect consistency for trim work, etc. and I never have a problem with runs, etc. I like that it is mold resistant - very helpful in areas like kitchen and bathrooms. Fingerprints and such wipe off making it look good as new which is especially good with pets and kids! Also, it's easy to touch up. I started using the ultra white color as it comes without any tints in places like the small closets because it makes it brighter and easier to tell colors of clothes, etc. I use white only on cabinets and trim too. It really makes the trim pop. I even painted all the outside trim of my house and eaves with white only and love how it makes my brick stand out. I mix with colors to offset in the bedrooms, bathrooms and closets. The price is higher than other paints, but I think it's worth it. I generally roll or brush, never spray (at least so far). Most of my projects are when I get short periods of time to work. It's easy to use water clean up, and I can leave the brush rinsed and in a small amount of water to have it ready so I can paint, stop, paint, making the brush last a long time. I use every drop and am able to make it go a long way. I love this stuff. Now I'm watching for the next time it goes on sale as I have another room I am repainting!

      I purchased this Item 2 weeks ago for an upcoming Trim Painting Job on Our Home, I have painted My entire Home, Outside & Inside due to the Excellent Quality of the Paint, the ease of application, the coverage, and the ability to clean the Painted surfaces when Needed. The Price is Comparable to other Brands who say they have the same features, But I prefer the Behr Brand and I advise others to use it as well.
