BEHR chalk paint gave me the soft look and feel i

9 months ago
I used the chalk paint in an unconventional way and painted an iron door. The home owner wanted a slate finish not the traditional black and specifically wanted it in a satin finish. I used the chalk paint to give the door the soft look they wanted and coated in a water based satin polyurethane. Looked amazing and I’ve actually gotten several additional door rehab jobs from that one door and him posting the before and after pics

Yes, I recommend this product.

Fantastic Chalk Paint product!

9 months ago
We wanted to keep our computer desk, however it didn’t match our new living room colour scheme. We decided to paint it using the Behr Chalk Paint in matte black as we have used other Behr products before and were very pleased with results. It was easy to use, dried quickly and adhered well to the desk material (after proper prep). The finished computer desk looks brand new and has added so much style and updated the look of our living space! I would highly recommend this product!

Yes, I recommend this product.

I refinish furniture for a living and this paint is the best performing paint for furniture. It can be brushed, rolled and sprayed and the price point is great. I recommend this to anyone looking to work on a personal or project or in a business setting.

Fantastic Durable Finish, covers very well!

11 months ago
The ability to tint in endless colors was intriguing and drew me in. Now with countless projects behind me and several years of use, Behr has once again beat out many contenders. I was a die hard Sloan fan, but her line is limited in colors and is not as readily available either. Behr has beat out the pricing of luxury brand paints while maintaining a consistent quality as well. The paint covers well, has a smooth finish and is extremely durable. The key to this paint is prepping the surface, clean it well lightly sand if necessary and then get to painting! Ive done so many furniture rehabs, cabinets, mini projects and even large scale makeovers Im not afraid to try it on anything at this point. It is a heavier paint but working with it is very easy even for beginners. The wax product line is also top notch as a complimentary product.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Used this to repaint an old cabinet I bought from a yard sale. Easy to use - added some new hardware and painted antiquing highlights to the edges and around the hardware and it had an upgraded look. Didn’t take photos before I sold it unfortunately. Will definitely use this paint again

so easy to transform!

a year ago
I had an old bookcase. I actually found by the dumpster. It was a reddish brown wood with chips. Not even real wood. I picked up some of this chalk paint and hoped for the best. I applied two coats, allowing it to dry in between which didn’t take that long. It was finished in one day and I absolutely love the finish. It’s very durable and I love the choice of colors, it makes my room pop!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great coverage

a year ago
This is my first time using chalk paint and Behr Chalk paint did not disappoint. I used Aged Gray on a dresser. The original wood was cherry brown. After a light sanding I applied the Behr chalk paint and it went on easily using a paint brush for the drawers and a small foam roller for the sides. Behr Chalk paint is a third less expensive then other competitors.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great Paint!

a year ago
I bought this paint for a project showing my clay items to sell at a market in town. I really enjoyed using to paint some wood boards that I had drilled peg holes into, and used pegs to hang things on it. It coated it well just wished it lasted longer. Pretty expensive but quick to use and easy enough. A bit tricky to get an even coat unless you go over it lots. Would be good for small projects but not big big projects.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I have purchased this paint 50-60 times. It covers furniture beautifully and it’s only a fraction of the price compared to the chalk paint that’s out there. I absolutely love it I have it in so many colors and will continue to buy it as long as it’s available.

Rich/Gorgeous color and easy application

I've used chalk paints in the past but they have never really came out as desired. This paint is absolutely exceptional! The color is bold and while I applied two coats (YES, dry time in-between), this project could have easily been done with one. Easy clean up too!

Behr's interior paint

a year ago
I love all of Behrs products. I especially love their line of chalk paints and have used them to redo almost all of my furniture. I used olive green in my kitchen cabinets, and chalk white on my bedroom set. I use Behr antique copper spray paint for my metal finishes. Ive just redone my living room using Behrs Broadway (black) and Gallery White. Im now goinf through my dozens of paint cards to pick out colors for the rest of my home.
