Where to Use

Properly prepared and cleaned coated or uncoated exterior surfaces. Ideal for Wood, Vinyl, Aluminum, Fiber Cement Siding, Metals, Brick, Masonry, Stucco, Steel, and Fences.

Preparation & Prime†

Countersink nailheads, fill and sand smooth. Remove rust, loose or peeling paint. Repair imperfections and sand smooth.
Wash off dirt, grease and chalk with detergent and/or powerwash. Remove mildew stains with a mildew stain removing product.
Clean and sand new or weathered wood. Scuff sand or degloss smooth or glossy surfaces.
Scuff sand or etch metals. Rinse and allow to dry.
Caulk windows, doors and other openings. Allow new stucco, plaster and masonry to cure for 30 days before painting.
Use BEHR ULTRA™ paint as a primer for repaired or uncoated surfaces, including woods that contain tannins (two primer coats required for redwood and cedar) and heavily stained areas.
Lock in stains with the first primer coat; if necessary, apply a second primer coat of BEHR ULTRA.
For drastic color changes or when applying deep colors denoted with a dagger (†) on the color chip, apply a tinted primer coat of BEHR ULTRA if needed.

Application

Apply product on dry substrates when air and surface temperatures are between 35°-90°F (2°-32°C) and will remain between 35°-90°F (2°-32°C) for at least 4 hours after applying.
Do not paint when rain or heavy condensation is expected.
Stir paint occasionally. Intermix containers of same product to ensure color and sheen uniformity.
On semi-smooth surfaces, use a high quality 3/8-1/2” nap roller cover, nylon/polyester brush or an airless sprayer (.015-.021” spray tip, 60 mesh filter).
On rough surfaces, use a high quality 3/4-1” nap roller cover.
Do not thin if using a roller or brush; however, if using a sprayer and thinning is required, thin with water at a rate of no more than 1/2 pint per gallon.
Certain colors may require more than one coat for complete hide.
On heavy stains and woods that contain tannins, allow 12-16 hours of dry time between coats. Cooler temperatures or higher humidity may prolong drying time.
After 4 weeks, cured paint film may be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive liquid detergent.
Dry paint film is mildew resistant.
When applying to vinyl, color choice must be the same color or lighter than the existing color. Do not use on floors.

Reviews

BEHR ULTRA ® Exterior Semi-Gloss Enamel is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 404.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JErica from Awesome Color and Coverage Did lots of research to make sure this was the right paint for us and we are not disappointed. The coverage is great, hides blemishes well and accentuates siding texture. Thick coating seems like it will stand up well to the hot dry windy summers and bitterly cold winters here in Eastern Washington.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GuyK from Highest quality you can get I used this Behr premium plus ultra on an exterior project where we live on the slopes of Haleakalā Maui and it really stands up to the harsh conditions we experience here better then any other paint products we tried

Rated 5 out of 5 by CQinNorman from Fantastic Finish! I bought this product about a year and a half ago. I purchased it to repaint an old shed that was in the backyard of a home we recently purchased. I wasn't sure how it would go on and if it would really stand up to the weather, since the shed wasn't in the best shape, but it went on REALLY easy and covered well. I applied a second coat, but honestly, I don't think I needed to. Although it's only been a year and a half, I've been surprised by how well it's resisted our brutal Oklahoma weather. I would DEFINITELY recommend this product to anyone doing any outdoor painting. As an aside, I used some of this on my front entry door too, and it's still looking great!
