Thanks fellas. I appreciate your taking time to do this video.
No problem, glad to help Michelle.
Would you redo this test with colors that are commonly used? Like off whites and light greys over darker colors. How often are people actually painting their interiors with primary colors?
Hi Brad, Yes I will. I only chose those colors because usually they are the hardest to cover. However, I will be making another video using common colors like white and grey, I also going to use colors that are not part of the Marquee one coat coverage. I had some painter use a couple Marquee one coat colors and they claimed it didn't cover in one coat, so I am going to test those to see if they were correct. I am also going to make a video seeing how each paint does for stuff like cleaning stains and scuffs.
Do one with all whites!! Please
I live for saturated colors!
Most everybody paints gray LOL
All paints mentioned, the cost of each gallon should cover in one coat. If you need to put a second coat, I would ask for my money back! Any top line brand paint should cover in one coat. Manufacturers are making big bucks! The Gooseneck guy! Cheers!
The reason contractors like Sherwin Williams and Dunn Edwards - they get contractor pricing, which is cheaper than Behr.
So detailed skills u always show and ask the right questions
Thanks!
Great video !
As a Painter for 35 years , using all contractor brands, Dunn Edwards, Sherwin Williams, PPG ...... , I am very impressed with Behr, I enjoy using it. Great coverage and flow . There’s always going to be some deep base colors that will be hard to cover, especially in eggshell or satin. You will need to change application methods for this to avoid multiple coats . Either fog coat with a sprayer until covered, or use a medium base similar color in flat as a primer .
Make sure you know your customers colors before pricing, and adjust accordingly .
Paint products are continually improving every year to improve usage and durability which is great 👍
Thanks for watching!
The information I needed -- thank you!
No problem, happy to help!
Thank you for saving me from decision fatigue!
Lol, happy to help @Eda!
This was a great test, perfect for helping me choose what to do.
Happy to help!
Thank you very much for your effort for this video guys! Now I know what I am gonna buy! :)
Happy to help!
Thanks for doing this. My choice is made. So helpful, Awesome video.
Glad to help!
Great video this was super helpful
No problem!
Great test of paints and their performance. Rock on!
Thanks!
Thank you...Excellent Video!
You are welcome!
Thanks for the scoop on this 👍🏽
Thanks for watching!
I just watched your video. Nice video by the way. I might have missed it, but what finish or sheens were you using and what was the finish/ sheen that you painted over.In my experience with painting and paints, is that the sheen of the wall to be painted affected the coverage if the new color being applied.For example,I've painted for customers that had a satin or semi-gloss through most of the home, and wanted an eggshell finish.I wanted to prime the semi-gloss first, then apply the eggshell paint, but the customer didn't want to pay for extra primer application and labor and wanted to use a Glidden premium paint and primer instead to save money and it didn't cover after two coats.the customer was disappointed and didn't want to pay for a third coat.So that job didn't go well.They picked the paint, the sheen and assured the glidden premium would cover in one coat, but it didn't.I did a second coat on my time and dollar , but would not do a third coat for free.Sorry for the long story, but I'm not sold on the paint and primer products at all but based on this video, I will be trying the behr marquee.It looks like it's the way to go.
I just painted my homes entire interior with SW Emerald. Every single color required 2 coats. When I complained to SW, they told me their paint is a 2 coat system- and 2 coats are even required for the warranty.
I have always used Behr Ultra and it has always covered in 1 coat. If Behr doesn’t cover in 1 coat, Home Depot will give the paint needed for a second coat for free.
Wow, thats great to know. Thanks for sharing!
Correct, i work at Sherwin Williams. We never claim to cover in one coat. Never.
No paint truly covers in 1 coat. Used a ton of Marque, but I much prefer Emerald all around.
Behr ultra is not rated for 1 coat. Marquee is, so I don't know how you got your money back, but good job on that. On the back of the Emerald can it say 2 coats, it never said 1 coat coverage. I'm a painter for 22 years I've never only done 1 coat unless it is a re-paint of the same color. Even marquee I use 2 coats. It covers about 85% in 1 coat. Everything needs 2 coats when youre on a professional level, and people are paying to have flawless results.
As a professional painter for 30 years I always do 2 coats. As for one coat paint, you always find a flaw in the first coat hence by the second coat it's perfect.
Love this video.. Thank you
Thanks for the informative video. Speaking of coverage what would you recommend for a interior PRIMER type and product to paint over a red brick fireplace with black mortar? Thank you.
I just bought the SW Emerald before I saw this video. I thought it was pretty good. I might have to rethink my next paint. Thanks for the video.
Sure thing, glad to help.
Sw emerald is good. Don't let the internet scare you off. Many great reviews on your paint.
Coverage (hide) isn't everything. Emerald wins in how smooth it dries. The self-leveling is amazing. I'd rather do a second coat and have it look perfect.
You make a great purchase. Emerald is much more durable and levels out beautifully.
I just finally decided to paint over the original contractor paint(agreeable gray) in my house (7 years old), because we were going to host an Open House to celebrate my daughter’s High School graduation. SW was running a 30% off sale so tried their Emerald on several of my walls and it was truly amazing. The self-leveling for satin finish worked perfectly. Received several comments from guests on how good my walls looked and some were shocked that it wasn’t professionally painted. Emerald is a game changer for DIY-ers! Note: I’ve never tried Behr Marquee so can’t comment on that.
Perfect I was deciding which to get
Glad to help!
Great video thanks!
My pleasure!
Great job! I appreciate you for doing this. I'm actually about to paint the inside of my home and I'm looking for the best paint possible. Any suggestions?
I always put the full roller in the center and work up down and across to ensure a more even mil spread. You mentioned starting on the left, so the mil thickness will undoubtedly be thicker there.
Thanks for sharing 👍👏❤️😀
No problem! :)
Do a durability test in areas like wet bathrooms and areas where you want to be able to clean them, like kitchens and baths.
It’s important to keep in mind that your using a different company’s color and that will make a difference
Thank you for doing this for me. I was wondering which paint to get.
No problem.
Wasn't surprised at all. I've always loved Behr paints.
Thanks doing this though.
No problem Kim. Thanks for watching.
@@waltsreviews90 THIS IS BULL CRAP !!! BEHR PAINT IS TERRIBLE!!! VERY WATERED DOWN !!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS !!I USED YOUR PAINT BACK IN 2008 TOOK ME 4 COATS OF PAINT TO COVER A WHITE WALL ,TRIED IT IN ANOTHER ROOM SAME THING ,12 YEARS LATER I WAS TALKED INTO USING IT AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS !!!
I’m not surprised by the results. I use all those products in my business as I’m a painting contractor.
Thanks for sharing that information with us.
Mark Savino have you used Behr Marquee semi-gloss in the white shade Bakery Box? I painted this over light blue and it didn’t cover.
@@vickienglish6990 As far as Behr Marquee semigloss I have not used much of it. When I do use it it’s either in mat or eggshell. Might go to product in the Behr line is Ultra
I just sprayed my exterior with Marquee and I was shocked at the coverage....bravo
Nice, I am sure the coverage is good, however the Marquee on exterior did poorly according to consumer reports, super weird CR claims the two cheaper Behr paints do better for durability and longevity..... I am testing it all out now
@@waltsreviews90 Did something change? CR now shows both Marquee and Ultra at the top with exactly the same individual results.
I’ve been using Behr Marquee for 10 Yers and it has never failed to cover in one coat but if your Painting with a finish like eggshell over contractor grade paint you still need a second coat to blend in the finish so there’s no flashing
Have you tried the Dynasty?How was your experience when painting over non Behr paints, when you don't know what brand was used? Say on a color change? Were you able to get the one coat coverage?
@@scottmcauley5781 Haven’t tried Dynasty yet paint prices are going through the roof and it’s more expensive even with a pro account and I really don’t see how much better it can be unless it jumps out of the can onto the wall for you.
As a commercial painter I've been using Valspar Duramax for a year and it covers in one coat regardless of what color you're painting over.
Good to know what other people are using, thanks!
Omg, this is exactly what I needed. I'll be painting on my own for the first time (making my own decisions, not helping someone else paint their house) and my head is spinning researching
Same here!
Thanks for watching, hope it helped!
The critique paint comparison was not accurate. Duration by Sherwin-Williams requires a nylon nap roller and if used is an incredible paint covering in one coat
DO NOT USE BEHR PRODUCTS !! IT IS TERRIBLE AND VERY VERY WATERED DOWN !!!! JUST TRYING TO SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY
Any thoughts on durability of the finished products? Thinking about abrasion resistance, cleanability, etc.
Yes which particular brand of paint has the strongest cohesive bond with the covalent atoms of the wall?
I love the testing however rolling covers better than a brush, my concern would be if the brush strokes in the corners cover?
Feel like testing paints for stain cover such as water stains or tobacco?
I’d never leave a job with one coat of paint. I use duration and regal select for walls. Emerald Urethane and BM advance for trim.
Behr is garbage , it runs , sags and the finish looks uneven and has a sheen that looks like cheap plastic. Can tell your a painter.
Which is easier to brush/roll on trim, Advance or Emerald Urethane?
Why does behr paint color swatch different than on the wall. I purchased chic gray to cover a matte mocha sherwin Williams contractor color on my wall and it looks blue and not like the color of the sample. I also used kilts tint gray primer first and I’m not happy with the outcome.
Thank you. I was considering choosing the Marquis but didn't know if it would be as good so thank you. Yes testing the coverage of a can of Marquee, how many square feet will it really cover.
No problem!
For me it's ok if it takes 2 or 3 coats, as long as colors last well outdoors for mural painting
and don't fade badly over time. I've found that they all do really well, i really like the resiliance from sherwin also,
but the marquee is super colorful and strong, all of them seem really good
I agree, that all of them do really well. It is important to note though that the paints don't always perform as advertised. And if you own a painting company and are trying to plan for how much supplies and materials you need, going by what's on the can might not work out well...
I had a bedroom that my stepdaughter painted a “pink” (more like a red). I used Kilz (2 coats) then painted it with Behr Alibaster. Needed 2 coats. Behr is really thick and it dries quickly so you have to move fast.
Unfair test really as far as apples to apples. Unfortunate the SW store used ultradeep base as thats a clear paint with just pigments for hide. Sherwin-Williams in emerald makes a red and yellow base specifically for these colors which is what should have been used.
Also as far as not matching the blue it should have been able to been done in Emerald Designer edition.
I challenge you to go back to a sw store, get sw colors made specifically in yellow and red base, compare them to the competitors matching. For your blue use blue blood or hyper blue and have it made in the Emerald Designer edition, NOT baseline Emerald or Duration.
You might get the same results but it would be interesting to see when other companies have to match SW. Also, use a marathon roller cover.
Thanks for the video!
That’s really good info. I always struggle with the deep base Emerald. Im currently painting a building with really dark browns. I used different primera and promar 200 but it still 4 coats total. Do you think Emerald would do it in 3? Primer plus two coats of Emerald to an even finish.
i like the marquee even if it doesnt cover certain colors it rolls on nice dries quick and is very durable after
It's definitely a good paint!
Identical to the consumer reports results. Even the rating they gave 50 duration, 55 emerald, 81 aura, 89 marquee, were pretty similar to your results.
Thanks for this. Just bought a new house previous owner used Sherwin duration for sale.. My previous house was painted with Behr Marquee Elephant grey. I hate the Sherwin that was used on my current home. Stains easy and doesnt look good.
Thanks for sharing, this I actually just tested cleaniblility of paints on my other channel, the Marquee did amazing! I had no idea it was such a great interior paint. Not so sure with exterior though here is the video I made: ruclips.net/video/cRrlFmsWBAE/видео.html
I always used behr until recently because the other brands are always hyped up and I wanted to try them . I was disappointed with SW and BM so back to Behr I go.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm using Behr using Elemental grey.
I'm wondering, if cabinets are already painted and they are brown. Do you sand them first? Or can you paint over ?
I thought you can paint over if paint is covering other color.
You only sand when paint wont paint over a strong color?
It depends on a lot of factors. If they paint underneath isn't adhered properly to the wood, then you'll need to sand it or strip it. Otherwise even if you get a really well bonded coat, it will peel with the undercoat. If it is adhered well, I'd recommend using a primer first. Gray would probably be a decent color to paint over brown with, but you won't know until you try it.
while watching your video my wife (overhearing the video) said you sound like Patrick Mahomes and i cannot unhear it lmaoooooo good video :) thanks for the video!
Ohh thanks because I’m trying to find what was the best, another question please.. what is the gray color on the walls?
I believe its a Sherwin Williams color called agreeable grey
You should throw PPG Timeless in on this as well. It is advertised as “one-coat” as well. Same caveat as Marquee though, has to be one of Glidden/PPG’s one coat colors/formulas.
BEHR PAINT IS TERRIBLE !!!AND WONT COVER IN 4 COATS ,TAKE MY WORD FOR IT DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
@@joemcgraw5529 I had the same issue, but I didn't use the Marquee.
Timeless doesn’t have as many one coat colors as Marquee and I’ve tested them side by side and the Marquee is superior especially with deep base colors
Thanks!
No problem!
Exterior leveling please next. 😘
Thanks . It seems as though your blinds or some window open. I can definitely see the difference
No problem.
I guess my question is... as a professional painter are you just doing one coat for your customers? Because color isn't the only reason for 2 coats. Durability and washability are also incredibly important. Also Sherwin William's doesn't promote itself as 1 coat
@@goodeyes2c I agree. Apartment repainters are the only ones I know who paint thick coats lol
Thanks for proving what I’ve been telling other pro painters for 10 years Marquee is king for way less money and especially when using deep base colors as you did Home Depot can match any of Ben Moore’s and Sherwin Williams and you’ll still get one coat coverage you don’t have to stay in the Marquee pallet, and their colors are consistent from store to store I have bought paint in Pennsylvania done a job in New Jersey ran out of paint went to the nearest Home Depot picked up another gallon of the same color and used it to touch up you can’t get that from SW or Ben Moore.
Sure thing, hope it helps.
What about application? I've heard that emerald is a lot easier to apply and is also very durable.
I just learned that the hard way, trust me this stuff goes on like dog sh!t, I’ve painted with Sherwin Williams many times and it goes on so easy makes the job a joy..
This sounded great,my only question would be is that had you tried two coats of the one coat coverage paints next to the one coat 🤔 Then are they still the same? I'm understanding of that they covered good in 1 coat. But does that bring out the full color, uniformity etc?
If I'm understanding you correctly, I think it would look the same for the coats that covered in one coat. For the paints that didn't quite cover in one coat, I think that they would look different. It would bring out the full color and uniformity. I guess for this video, I really wanted to test how well the one coat application worked because that's what the paints are advertised as. And as a painting business owner, its great to test products before I use them for clients.
@@waltsreviews90
I totally understand and agree with the tests you did an how you wanted to show the one coat coverage, which I think you did a great job. Clearly was consice an to the point demonstrating these paints and their claims! I also own a painting company an right now on my job the home owner first attempted his project himself buying the very expensive Aura paint.. obviously because his thoughts were sold on by the paint store selling him on it would be less work with the one coat.. now I always price my jobs on premium paints but honestly the price point on costs are half the cost of the Aura . I've used the Behr for my personal home and I honestly was surprised how much I liked it.. I told the home owner that In my opinion , Behr Marque would do his job with the same quality as the Aura because wether I used Aura , Behr or any other Benjamin Moore paints my plan was always to do the 2 coats, then the sanding Inbetween , last apply my second coat. I've never used the Aura paint but I've used all other lines of Benjamin Moore an other equals! I've always done the 2 coats because I've always been under the impression to get complete coverage an uniformity , you need to do 2 coats! In the past I've cut in and rolled out walls wet on wet and gotten away with one coat, but almost always have had to do the 2. The surprise I got was after my bid then the signing of contract the surprise of could I use this Aura paint because he's already bought 5 gallons , wall paint. Now always wanting to be at the forefront in business, if there's a paint that I can only do one coat and it honestly is an equal to the two coats , I'm wanting to be there! Less work more profit an quicker turnovers! I guess my real thoughts would be if I do this one coat, then later down the road , homeowner does a touch up! Will this flash ? I've always known that after 2 coats when touch ups are applied it's fine! So my question asked about if the one coat paint brought out the full uniformity as the 2 coats because of this thought! Now I've no problems using what ever quality paints the home owner wants as long as my job doesn't get harder! But obviously if it can get easier I'd use the Aura as long as it fits in with what I've said! My price would reflect the higher paint cost. With Aura at the price it is ! My thoughts of already liking the behr if I could do the jobs cutting out a whole step ! Getting (2 coat) coverage by only doing one, I'll do this for the Owner as long as my prices have reflected the different paint costs$$$
Thanks for this. This more or less vindicates my degrading opinion of Sherwin paints.
agree with other comments. the real challenge is coving dark colors with light neutral colors. in reality you need to use a primer and then 2 coats.
Do you have to use a primer before applying those paints that you have
Depends a lot on the situation. The paints will say on the back if they require a primer or not. If you're planning on painting cabinets or a drastic color change, like yellow over black then you'll probably want to prime. If you are reapplying the same or a similar color, then you're probably fine.
The roller always has good coverage. The proof would be in the cut in, and that is the part that takes the longest. The behr is the worst for cut in and painting. It is too thick and sticky for me and does not flow off a brush like Duration or regal products that are thinner but have a lot of pigment. Putting on 2 coats gives the best finish in any paint. If I need to go over a red with a beige I just prime and then use super paint paint/primer over that it will need 2 cut in coats of any paint you chose. The only time you do not need 2 cut in coats is if painting similar or same color over the wall.
This ishould be the top comment, Behr is terrible for cut ins. Better to roll 2 coats of Duration with the whole job in mind.
I agree two coats is a good idea no matter what paint or coverage you get. We have had mixed results with the other Behr lines like the ultra and premium and the pro series, and in many cases we didn't get coverage full coverage with 2 coats. Thats why the Marquee surprised me. I did another video about coverage and cutting in on my other channel here is a link to it ruclips.net/video/eF1C_jUBUO8/видео.html I think for a DYI homeowner since they don't paint everyday everything is going to be hard for them, and only doing 2 coats instead of 3 coats ( like your 1 prime and 2 coats paint example) might be easier and save them time. I also made another video where I tested 1 vs 2 coats for cleaniblility and was shocked. ruclips.net/video/cRrlFmsWBAE/видео.html. Duration, Emerald, Cashmere, Super Paint, even the Pro Mar lines all great paints, and if they help you with application then for you they are the best choice, I mainly wanted to test and see if the 1 coat coverage was true. I am curious when you talk about cutting in with Behr, were you talking about Marquee or one of the other Behr lines?
We have used other Behr products and had issue with really poor coverage, is this the same issue you had with the bad cut ins? or was it something else? That is why the Marquee surprised me, all the other Behr products we tried was bad experience.
@@waltsreviews90 Marquee can be a 1 coat paint, but it is so thick that I cut in a lot slower.
Behr does have good coverage...but yellows are hardest especially one coat.
You should use a primer for yellows
How about Marque, brush marks, self-leveling, on kitchen cabinet doors over a Bin or Kilz? Do not have or want a sprayer. White.
You can rent a sprayer at home depot for 40 bucks a day
Nothing to do with a sprayer, I take sherwing williams over bearh any day. I have used emerald for my cabinets and for outside, that thing is amazing
Has anyone tried mixing Marquee and Emerald 50/50 ?
Would do one coat on am extremely light color, but anything beyond that save your money and do 2 coats and have extra paint to spare.
Sherwin Williams super paint coverage is insanely good
If you want coverage from emerald it must be exterior. Emerald interior is not for coverage but durability. Emerald exterior gages at 3 coats thick and is durable because it’s exterior. Sheens
Are limited because it’s exterior but it is what I use when satan sheen is called for. Another note it isn’t as thick as the marquee so emerald exterior is a much more friendly when working with the roller.
Good to know, thanks!
What sheen was used for the Behr paint?
eggshell
@@waltsreviews90 Thanks! : D
wondering if you'd recommend Marquee for exterior too?
Actually no I would not. If consumer reports is correct they rate Marquee very low for exterior their two paint lines below the Premium plus and premium ultra actually perform better.
From actual use of the product the marquee exterior is definitely not as good as Behr ultra. I would stick with ultra or premium plus in the Behr line or duration in Sherwin Williams line.
I agree with Mark the SW Duration worked best on my exterior doors and shutters
Bahr being thick paint offers very good coverage. I am not a pro so I find it very difficult to use it. Sherwin Williams Super Paint and Duration have been my favorites and I will never ever use Sherwin Williams Emerald again. Its all hype. You have to do 2 coats and in some cases I could still see it through. Sure vendor will say I should have done primer on the wall but that is a lot of work (3 coats).
Emerald isn't supposed to be 1 coat. None of the Sherwin Williams wall paints are supposed to be 1 coat, whoever told you it was is in error.
@@powerhouse6165 SW never claimed any of their paints to be 1 coat. I was sharing my very personal experience. In many cases when both colors were close by, I got away with 1 coat. Emerald was very thin and I had to do two coats and in some cases even 3rd. Emerald also gave me lines after drying out (if see from the side). I may try Emerald's matte finish next time but so far Super Paint and Durations have proven themselves.
I always use behr marquee . I have no Idea why anyone would complain.
It would shows better if you set your camera frame rate to 30 or 60fps coz the LED recess lights with diff frequency are causing those horizontal stripes on the screen.
Behr Marquee has the most amount of titanium dioxide than any paint in existence. They're not stingy on their titanium dioxide. It's the most expensive part of the paint! Its what makes the paint cover so well. This paint though is not good for a paint sprayer because you will more frequently have to get your sprayer repaired!
That's really good to know, thank you!
25-30% of formulation of titanium dioxide is very good amount
Maybe better then to shoot with a low pressure tip If using Marquee.
I suspect that if you had taken the other brands deep base paints to Home Depot and had the Behr Marquee formula shot into them, they would have performed equally to the Behr.
yes marquee its not just the paint that gives you one coat its the tint as well it uses a higher hide tint
Friendly Tip! 1 REGAL, 2 BEHR, 3 SHERWIN The Gooseneck Guy! Cheers!
I was impressed with the marquee from this video but I’m not sure this is a genuine test. I say that because you specifically used marquee colors over marquee colors, so it’s not surprising that it performed the way it did. I wonder if the coverage of marquee would really be comparable to the Aura when using marquee over a non marquee color. Overall, definitely better than I expected with Behr.
That's an interesting perspective from the testing point of view. I wouldn't imagine that it makes much of a difference on the type of paint you are covering expect with regards to the type of base paint. for example, is it a clear or white base paint... But great question, maybe I'll tackle it down the road at some point!
I love this! I'm trying to cover dark walls with white paint. Any ideas?
Kilz primers.... will save you time and headaches
primer with half tint of your color for first coat(don’t have to tint, primer recommended) put atleast two coats of your paint then and you’ll be good👍
After making this video I learned the Behr one coat Marquee colors that are "white" are very limited so unless you like one of those whites, then you will have to do multiple coats.
behrs whitest white is cameo white
and its because for behr its the combo of a thicker paint and high hide tint colors that give it the one coat coverage and the tints they use are darker tints
I was always wondering why a professional painter I know said that Behr paint was the best paint back in 2010.
he never said what Behr line he used. This makes a lot of sense now.
Now try to wash it… comes right off. Paint in much more than “Coverage” as they did in this test. Have fun re-painting!
@@Fusion-ed1pv
Really!!
Thanks for the heads up
I would like to see how much a gallon of behr marquee paint can paint.
Don't buy it trust me its crappy paint
Thanks for the heads up
What did you do with all the hard tape lines left on the customers wall 😂
🤦♂️Yeah.once they pull the tape there will tape lines and those walls have a knockdown finish so sanding the tape lines won't be easy!!!😬
I don't put any stock in consumer reports. Everyone just buys home depot paint because it's a one stop shop.
That's definitely a fair point to make. It's a lot easier to get everything in one store rather than making multiple stops. Also why I did this test, to see if consumer reports were accurate.
Project farm did all kinds of tests with high end paint, Emerald won almost every category! Also, 2 coats should always be applied. Behr is for homeowners, not the pros!
You should have included Dulux Diamont
Im a pro painter. Behr markee is the way to go.
Im going to try the new ones soon, behr Dynasty too see
Behr is garbage . I've been painting for 22 years . I only use it for apartments if home depot is close by lol.
All Behr products run and sag . The finish is uneven and looks like cheap plastic.
@@manchesterexplorer8519 talking about coverage. There is no one better than markee
@@alexandreaquino5715 your wrong my friend...very wrong.
What do you recommend?
@@waltsreviews90 I can 1 coat with Ben Moore Regal Select or the Aura . I've also been painting for 20+ years so that helps a bit . Also its not all about coverage . BEHR products tend to run and sag , the finish also looks cheap. I'll use it on an apartment re-paint if home depot is closer than a paint store but that's about it
nice
Damn that’s crazy
Great video. Would like to see the same test over a high sheen (like a gloss) and using a brush instead of roller.
Great suggestion!
Do a paint brush comparison
Good idea!
This video could have been amazing had you peeled the damn tape and let us get the satisfaction from it
Lol, sorry. Next time I will!!
what is that toilet looking opening at 15:00?
Its actually a clear acrylic DYI cover to a sump, the white outline is just plywood I put over the sump opening to get it flush with the floor. The clear cover and hole in middle is so I can look down in sump and make sure there is no water.
I will only paint with bher even the cheaper bher premium plus has Superior coverage
It's good stuff!
👏
but sir please do the trim paints
i’d go with BM Aura bc it has Gennex colorant which makes it perform and easy to work with. I even have it in my bedroom stuff is amazing. Behr, Sw, and all these other guys don’t compare to BM, sw was good... but they always change their paint’s formulas which made it worse over the years, behr is okay
I agree Aura is the best paint.
Been painting for 23 years . BEHR is trash , painting a square proves nothing in this video.
Behr paint is runny and sags , you have to constantly double check your work as it dries to brush out the runs and roll out the sags . Also the finish looks like cheap plastic.
I've restored many rooms that homeowners painted with Behr paint that were destroyed by runs and sagging paint .
Benjamin Moore is the best , Sherwin Williams is decent as well .
Behr Marquee IS EXTREMLY underrated.
@Boom Stick why ?
@Boom Stick how soon ?
Boom Stick on walls? They will all be about the same. Touching up with Behr is easier too- used it a lot in commercial spaces as well. On cabinets and air spraying... SW will have more durability over Benjamin moore advanced but BM advanced has a better finish. In the end, if it’s going on wood.... to many factors in prep to full determine which is better. Stick with better paints instead of SW and BM. If it’s interior walls... behr will be most bang for your buck
What I will say is if you do the prep work and if you’re a paint you’ll know what I mean.... use a quality primer first any paint or most paints over let’s say $35 will be good. The problem is people are expecting the brand name paints to perform miracles. Over the years I’ve seen expensive paints look like shit when applied with no prep, and I’ve seen inexpensive paint applied with good prep look amazing. Take what you will from it.
@@goodlife1500 so true. Everyone looks for the cheapest option and great results. This is why I would always recommend behr marequee to them in a behr marquee color- (no paint match from Sw or BM). It all comes down to budget in the end.
You left out PPG Timeless that's the real deal.
I noticed that you used satin in the Sw p
Should have used eggshell for all three paints
Sherwin does not make emerald in eggshell.... They claim there emerald satin is like other paints eggshells.
