    Behr Aqua Fresco is the perfect teal
    Behr paint gives a great finished product. Coverage is really good. And I have found the prettiest teal paint, aqua fresco. Love, love, love it!

      I chose this Bakery Box white paint for a Coastal Decor bedroom makeover. It's a soft neutral white that works with just about any shade of blue. Repaired plaster walls and plywood faux shiplap boards got a coat of plaster then a coat of this. I'm very pleased with the results.

      We only got a quart because we had a small wall to cover and this paint was so good that it covered a darker brown with just one coat. My wife was impressed, and she is a professional painter!

      Poor civerage
      Terrible coverage… applied a quality primer before this paint . So far i have used a gallon of this paint and the coverage was poor so went back to get a quart and still need to go back and get more more. The color before was a light yellow so not a dark color. The room is a small guest room with 8 ft ceilings. It has been a huge waste of time and money.

        Not low-VOC
        IDK what passes for low VOC nowadays but this is the foulest smelling paint I have ever used. I actually vomited from the fumes. Two days later it is still off-gassing like mad despite the area being very well ventilated. Also, this is the fault of the paint mixers, but the color I ordered was nowhere close to the color of the sample paint I got (see pic). On the plus side, it does cover in 2 coats. I recommend sticking with Behr Premium Plus or something from an actual paint store.

          Gorgeous Norwegian Blue!
          Norwegian Blue…ahhhh, talk about a dream! Our guest bedroom was an ugly butterscotch tan and needed a facelift. This blue is absolutely beautiful! Very happy with how it turned out!

            Perfect color for my moody office jungle!
            I am so happy with the results of my recent office makeover. I don’t usually go with bolder colors because I have so many plants throughout my home but this color is just gorgeous! 1 gallon took care of my 10x10 office walls, very happy with the coverage and saturation. Already picking out the next Behr color for my ceilings in all the living spaces and one for my master bedroom.

              I have had this paint on my ceiling for 3 years
              I decided to go bold with my living room ceiling and do the ceiling golden yellow, the people at the paint desk were super encouraging and it was a pretty large space but they knew I could do it alone. I LOVE THIS PAINT. It was so so seamless and easy to get a good coverage. I did two rounds of painting both of the ceiling and the walls with white paint. I would do it again in a heartbeat with behr paint it was so easy…

                Excellent coverage
                I was a Porter Paint dealer for 25 years, so I'm pretty hard to impress when it comes to paint, but the Behr Ultra in flat did it today. It spread out great without having to return the brush for more paint while cutting in, rolled out smooth and hid many of the sixty year old drywall imperfections. It did anything Porter's Silken Touch paint line would do. (And that's saying a LOT!) Give this product a try. You won't be disappointed.

                  Looks great
                  I love the look of this paint. It covered well in 2 coats. However you need more paint than normal. I used almost an entire can for my laundry room. Normally a can of paint would go much further. I would do the rest of my house but can't justify spending so much more per can when you need so much more paint for the area.

                    We used this paint for our ceiling tiles at our small business. This is actually the second time we've used Behr Ultra paints to do this specific project. Our staff painted different quotes and the paint holds up and covers well!

                    Do NOT purchase
                    We were so excited to redo our daughter's bedroom: properly prepared the walls and began cutting. This paint goes on like glue and when we tried to roll it pulled off the paint we had cut in. No matter how fast we tried to roll, in seconds it would pull, streak, and drip. An entire day wasted. And we will have to sand and start from scratch another day. Do not purchase!

                    Hi there, thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that the paint went on like glue and it would peel back off when you rolled over a section that was done. It sounds like the paint may have been drying too fast. When that happens, you can add up to 4 ounces of water per gallon to give more working time with the paint. I'd recommend that you sand any areas that have a texture smooth with sandpaper and then apply another coat of paint from a new can.

                      Juicy! 🍹
                      I decided that I didn't want to spend another winter in a white box of a living room, no matter how much art I've collected over the years! I wanted a juicy papaya, mango color and Blazing Sunsets is that! I picked flat to diffuse the indoor lighting and I'm happy with the depth of color after two coats.

                        worst paint I have used as a contractor.
                        I have used it twice now. both times I was unable to lay off the paint. Pulled the paint right off the wall and left a very ruff and horrible looking finish. I have always stood buy behr premium. the ultra is crap. I will no longer use behr. I've been a painter for 20 years.

                        Hi byebehr, thanks for your review and for being a loyal Behr customer over the years. I'm sorry to hear that our Ultra Scuff Defense pulled off the wall. To fix the rough finish, I recommend sanding smooth these areas, cleaning, and touching up with leftover paint.

                          Quality is great!
                          Lovely color and easy to use but had to do 2 coats for my kids room. Low smell after it dries and paint smell was gone in 5 days or so. Pricey but awesome paint is.

                          This is the first time I have used BEHR ULTRA. I was really impressed how easy it was to apply and how well it covered. I only needed one coat. I thought for sure I would need two gallons and I only needed one. I will definitely use this paint for my future painting needs. I chose the color of Spinning Silk and it looks great.

                          Behr Ultra Scuff Defense in Swiss Mocha matte is amazing. Covered dark terracotta paint in one coat with the roller and 2 with brush and cut ins. I recommend this paint!

                            Hello Rick, thank you for your review. I’m so sorry the paint needed 3 coats and left roller strokes on the surface. Typically, our Ultra Scuff Defense Interior Paint will cover in about 1-2 coats, though additional coats may be needed depending on the surface and application. To get things on track, I recommend sanding smooth any texture the roller may have left, wiping off the sanding dust, then touching up and recoating with paint where needed.
