Does Behr Ext. Satin Spray Easily?


Home Depot customer contractor rep said painters have complained about spraying the Behr product - saying it does not spray. So, they tested it and said - sure nuf' it sprays.

I think the first time I've used it on an exterior is the job I am currently on. It does spray, but it seems to spray differently than other brands.

What are your opinions. btw: keep the comments clean - I think Behr is a good product in it's own right - but they should know our opinion if in fact it does not spray well.

I've never tried spraying it.

But in my experience, it's thick, sticky and will sag just like an alkyd...so I guess you'd spray it like one (thinned through a .013).

Maybe that should be Behrs slogan..."The latex that's as easy to use as a semigloss oil base, only without the coverage or durability"
