Better than any paint we’ve tried

7 months ago
We painted using ecological green and wow it’s gorgeous. While it’s only been up for a week the compliments have been endless and I can credit that to the quality of this paint. It went on so smooth the finish is gorgeous and flawless. We planned on doing 3 coats but only needed two. I only took off a star as I can’t comment on the long term durability since we just painted but I have high hopes.

Yes, I recommend this product.

The best paint out there! Beautiful & easy to use

7 months ago
We have been painting for decades successfully, but in the past 8-10 years something changed and we have struggled to get a smooth finish. We recently tried Behr Ultra in the durable flat finish and it is amazing. The colour looks great, finish is so smooth, and the dark colour covered in two easy coats. We have tried every brand, from the cheapest to most expensive and this is the best we have ever tried, and the cost is great too. This is all we will be using from now on.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Tough Paint That Delivers A Great Finish

7 months ago
BEHR ULTRA™ SCUFF DEFENSE® Interior holds up better than most paints I’ve used. It has good performance in high‑traffic spots where walls get used up. The finish is smooth, covers evenly, and resists those annoying marks from shoes and day‑to‑day bumps.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great paint for the price.

8 months ago
We have used all the major paint out there and Behr ultra Plus is a great value. If you prep the area to be painted properly, which is the most important, part of any paint job and for any paint being used, you will find that Behr ultra paint is thick, spreads well, very good finish., and wont hurt you nose with it's smell.

Great one-coat coverage!

8 months ago
We decided to go with a darker paint color for our half-bath. I started with a brush for all corners and around the window and door frames. I then used a roller for the walls... and it blended smoothly and evenly... all with just one coat.

BEHR ULTRA go to

8 months ago
BEHR Ultra interior Flat is top of the line. Paint goes on evenly and covers well. Use this product on all projects and in most cases requires only a single coat and few touch-ups. Paint also stores well if not using entire amount; doesn't get tacky/gluey. Highly recommend for great coverage.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Perfect over dark colors

10 months ago
When I had recently moved into my new home the walls were a navy dark blue. At first, my thought was I would need to use many layers to paint over the dark color. I wanted my walls in Spanish lace, a yellow beige color, but it only took two layers and it was completely covered!!

20+ Years, Paint still looks amazing

In 2002 I painted most of my new home in Behr interior paints. Just now, 23 years later, I am considering repainting, though my walls still look great. Only because of plumbing repairs do I need to do so.
