I don't know what problems you are talking about. I've been using Behr Paint for 15 years. I spend about $100k each year just on the purchasing of the paint for my jobs. I mainly use Behr Premium plus interior & exterior Paints on most of my jobs. Hundreds of paint jobs a year. Not one time did I ever have a single issue with coverage, workability, color match, durability or fading. In fact, I've done touch ups on jobs that I painted as far back as 10 years ago and the paint has blended in perfectly. Other Brands suck. The rare occasions that I have been spec'd to use Valspar's American Traditions, any Sherwin-Williams product, or Benjamin Moore paints, I've had nothing but problems with fading, durablity & coverage. When I hire new painters whom have been used to "contractor grade" paint brands like Sherwin-Williams, it takes about a week to win them over to Behr. Now that Behr has their new Ultra Premium Plus line, self priming and nano guard, I've gone to heaven. I can lightly sand kitchen cabinets and get better adhesion and coverage than if I used Kilz first. Unbelievablely great product. It's worth the extra $10.00. When I talk to most contractors about paint, the main reason they wont use Behr Paint is snobbery!! It's beneath them. They dont want to buy paint at Home depot! Guess what? Home Depot carries the top brands on the market: Pella Windows, Hilti Power Tools, LG appliances & Behr Paint! Do the research!

First of all Kilz from walmart is just cheaper Behr paint, Behr owns Kilz, duh. Secondly, most home owners are so used to poor durability from other paint brands, they use higher sheens like satin or semi-gloss (which are trim paints, not made for wall applications) on their walls. By the way, Designers consider that to be trailer park. After doing literally thousands of paint jobs using around $million dollars worth of Behr paint over a 16 year period, I couldnt disagree with you more. It is far superior to any product out there. Behr Ultra is even better!!!!

Artistic, ease up on the "submit" button. You posted the exact same thing 3 times.

Now, if you're happy with Behr, fine. However, I would say that the opinions of the majority of the other professional painters on here are valid. It's not some conspiracy against Behr, just most pro painters don't like it. You're obviously an exception.

you smoking something man? Seriously? You a shill for the Behr paint company? Why would EVERY professional who has ever tried behr think otherwise? Oh and their ultra line sucks fat donkey cock. Oh sure it is great if you want to coat a substrate 3-4 times what you can get in a pro line/brand with 1 MAYBE 2..

Smoking crack cocaine can produce a particularly aggressive paranoid behavior in users, which make them believe Behr and Kilz are the ultimate paint products

when are people going to wake up and finally realize that big corporations are in bed with the media..

they spin their products to be the best regardless of whether they are or not..

personally, im tired of seeing posts like this...

I like SW & BM...

I havent found a BM product that is better than ProClassic for trim yet... so...

Each have their + and -

I might go to a dif source than SW, be cause i dont agree with the bull**** they are pulling (buying out all of their competition) - they give the small guys the same discount as any regular customer that asks for one.. THey deal in volume discounts now.. Before I use to get best prices out west from reps that fought for my business,, isnt like that anymore...

Thanks for the Duopolies =)
