![]() We watched him paint a short side of the house and it took no time flat and looked awesome! He did end up doing 2 coats just for totally even coverage. We were only in the home for a few months after painting so long term I am unsure but it seemed to hold up well until after the house sold!Īgain our painter used a sprayer and it covered beautifully. He said to use the premium one though with the primer as it would save time and cover better and he was right on. He didn't, he said he also liked using Behr so that's what we went with. We have always liked the Behr brand but was willing to try something else if our painter recommended it. With one nice coat with the sprayer the house went from black to gray! Great product! We hired a friend who is a painter and he recommended this paint. After consulting with a color coach we decided to go a light gray. Fast forward to 2 years ago we decided it was time to move and our agents recommended we painted the house to a more natural color. We didn't mind though so we never repainted it. When we purchased our home 10 years ago it was black. The key to painting is to be sure you have all the right tools. We went from very dark to very light so it took us two coats but I believe if the color change wasn't so drastic, the coverage would have been perfect with just one coat. I only finished painting a few hours before a storm and it held up against the rain. If you're going significantly lighter, it may take a couple coats but in our case it only took two. ![]() It dried quickly and the water didn't harm my new finished paint job. I was upset thinking all my hard work would be ruined but the rain didn't harm my paint at all. I wish I could show before and after pictures because it was truly surprising to me.Īfter I finished my second coat, the paint had only been drying about two hours and it started to rain. After we finished, we did need to add a second coat but you can't tell that the paint underneath was significantly darker than the new color we chose. I went to work painting the entire place. In just one coat, it mostly covered everything. #VISCOSITY OF BEHR PREMIUM ULTRA PLUS PAINNT PATCH#I picked a patch on the trailer lower down and took a few swipes of paint over it. It's supposed to be a low VOC but it smells. We went home and I started putting the paint to work immediately. I was a little nervous that this paint wouldn't cover up the horrible grey color the house was painted but the cashiers assured me I didn't need a primer. Anyway, we got a few gallons of this really nice off-yellow color. I picked up a couple gallons of Behr because they were running a sale at my local hardware store and there was a rebate out. The place had primer grey walls and beige shutters. We bought an older trailer with aluminum siding and needed a paint that would cover the previous paint job on the trailer. True This paint dries quickly and it's quite durable. You're not saving money by buying cheap paint. Cheap watery paint drips and runs and makes a mess. it stays on the brush or roller and doesn't drip. It takes much less time and effort to paint one coat than three. When you have quality paint, it has more pigment and is very thick. ![]() Considering the amount of hot sun and the humidity here, it's doing great. I painted the exterior trim here in Florida two years ago and it's still looking good. I put this paint on the higher end of the spectrum. Very good quality and very dense pigment which saves you work. I can't express how much better it is to buy good paint and save the work and the time by having to paint multiple coats. It's not inexpensive but it sure saves a lot of time and work. It saves the work of painting a primer coat as it's also a primer. ![]() This is really a pretty good paint I must say. True Behr Premium Plus Ultra Exterion Paint There are also not as many runs in the paint as in others. The thickness allows for a smooth coverage. This paint is thick and not watery like many others. We have used this paint before on other projects and it really holds up well. Hands down, Behr is one of the best paints on the market! Not only is it a great quality, it is cheaper than some other "premium" paints. Unlike other paints that are watery and hard to get down, this Behr paint was easy to apply and it really took only one coat to cover the wood (we used two for safety!) If anyone out there is looking to start a project where you will be painting outside, I would definitely recommend using Behr paint. ![]() We have an old house with a wrap around porch and just recently scraped off all the old paint and use Behr Premium Plus Ultra Exterior for the porch. ![]()
