Response from Behr:

Christina, Behr Customer Care
Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to review our Urethane Alkyd Semi-Gloss Enamel Paint. I'm sorry to hear the color did not turn out as bright as you expected. To fix this, I recommend applying another coat in a new color. Also, keep in mind that lighting can affect how a color turns out, and we recommend trying out 8-ounce samples first to ensure the color looks how you envisioned. I've also reached out to you via email to get more info about your project and assist you further. Thanks again for providing your feedback, and I hope to hear from you soon! -Christina

The forgiveness and toughness of oil based

3 years ago
This paint is great. Self levels like oil based paint without the hassle of cleaning with spirits. Used it on the cabinets on my 10 ft island over oil based paint. Just sanded the shine off the oil based paint and painted over it with this paint. Still looks great 3 months later. (Hindsight, it would've been easier to just prime it but it needed sanding to smooth our less than stellar original oil based nightmare paint job.)

Yes, I recommend this product.

This paint is oil based which requires more brush clean up but the finish and longevity of this paint is excellent. I use it on all my exterior trim. I am a happy camper when I look at the final results.

Smooth finish for doors

3 years ago
This was a great recommendation, so glad I used it for my exterior (steel) door. I used 3 coats on the edges (brush) and 2 on the panels with a roller. For people that don’t know they think it was purchased that way. Great decision and saved money. I gave it time to dry between coats 1.5 hours and it was a light coat not heavy ( wasn’t necessary). Definitely recommend.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Not durable enough for flat surfaces

4 years ago
After a recommendation from a friend, I bought this paint for a up cycling an old desk. It works fine on the vertical surfaces but it’s terrible on the top. I can’t set anything on the top without it leaving a mark…and this is after letting it ‘cure’ for 4 weeks in an air-conditioned low humidity setting. I will have to apply polyurethane or some other enamel to the top to be able to use it. I know most people aren’t using this for furniture remodels, but thought this review might be helpful for others who may want to use it to paint shelving in their kitchen cabinets. Agree with the other reviews saying it remains tacky even after following drying instructions and takes more coats to cover than one would expect for a paint this expensive.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Sprays Clean and Coats Great

4 years ago
I used Behr Urethane Alkyd Enamel on the doors, trim and moulding of a recent project.The product has great coverage, coats well and sprayed clean like butter. I loved that it did not over-spray nor fall-out. The paint dries quick, hangs well and clients all love the finish. In addition it's priced good. I use Behr and their multi-surface primer on all my projects. I would recommend this to anyone.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Decent paint for trim, not for cabinets

4 years ago
Used it on trim and it finished nicely, decided to use it on cabinets are not having good luck with the cabinet and trim paint (7100 I think) buy to my disappointment no better luck with this. Dries slow and doesn't get hard enough for cabinet use. Scratches very easily, and after a few weeks the cabinets look like they were painted years ago. Already wore through in spots from normal use after a couple weeks. Unfortunately I will have to repaint these cabinets in the very near future over I find a decent paint to use.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Love this paint!

4 years ago
I used this product to paint the interior of my kitchen cabinets. I just finished removing all the masking tape on the cabinets and remounted the cabinet doors. This is the best paint I've ever used. It will be my go to paint for doors, trim, molding, cabinets, etc. Usually when I paint, I remove any masking tape as soon as possible before the paint dries. If I don't, the paint sticks to the tape; and as the tape is removed, the paint stretches and tears, leaving an unsightly jagged line. Removing, and reapplying masking tape after every coat is unpleasant and time consuming This urethane alkyd enamel is different. Because of the complexity of the masking, and the multiple primer coats I had to apply to the cabinets, I didn't want to remove the tape until all the painting was done. So today, when I got ready to remove the masking tape, I braced for the worst. But to my gleeful surprise, the tape removed easily, leaving a clean sharp edge. Further, the paint flows nicely, and seems to sand well. I highly recommend it.

Yes, I recommend this product.
