I hated it. It took coat after coat to cover a dark color. It was splotchy and patchy. And each layer had a tacky dry-down. It pretty much turned me off from Behr products in general. Glad to know that it at least has some worthwhile applications.Alexis L. of One Grand Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909869206244470064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-55005356189012161222010-04-22T08:12:38.969-07:002010-04-22T08:12:38.969-07:00p.s.

The room hadn't been painted in over a decade and the new paint went on thick, quick, and smooth. Yes, we were more experienced with painting by the time we did this room, but we both agree that it was the fastest and best paint job we've ever done. I love the colors selection, too.Keeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793135866902854363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-88434209637926354752010-04-22T06:45:15.285-07:002010-04-22T06:45:15.285-07:00Kelly - I don't think I would use this stuff o...Kelly - I don't think I would use this stuff on walls where I needed to cover bright or dark paint, it's too expensive and doesn't go 'farther' than regular Behr. This product gives 'grip' like primer, which is why I like it for the baseboards.<br /> <br />Jeannine - this product is definitely not thin...give it a shot!<br /> <br />Kate - all the doors and trim in our house is Behr Ultra Pure White (the untinted base). It's a warmer white, and so easy to just grab off the shelf and go.<br /><br />Eric - I don't usually use any oil-base paints, but I do use oil-base primers once in awhile. We have peeling latex all over our house beause the layer under that was oil. BIN primer takes care of all that peeling, but the Behr Premium Plus works well on areas where there wasn't any peeling - without using separate primer. I'm quite happy with it!Sara @ Russet Street Renohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120089301670852587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-74443747798675301432010-04-22T05:38:37.235-07:002010-04-22T05:38:37.235-07:00I too have used Killz for a long time, and have ha...I too have used Killz for a long time, and have had to do several coats sometimes. Next time, instead of going with the cheap stuff, I'll try the oil based, and see if I can get similar results.<br /><br />Especially on the latex - I've got two whole bathrooms with peeling latex (the previous owner didn't prep correctly, and now the paint on the mouldings is peeling in places)eric @ my First Garagehttp://www.myFirstGarage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-32157095536639698122010-04-22T05:35:00.286-07:002010-04-22T05:35:00.286-07:00Thanks for the honest review.

But I painted the exterior of my house with Valspar Duramax & it's doing great so far.
