Bad deck and porch paint

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Looks good, but not for use on a deck.
  • It doesn't resist scuffing and scratches easily.
  • It sticks to the bottom of outdoor furniture.

Looks good as long as you don't use the deck. This paint doesn't resist scuffing and sticks to the bottom of the outdoor furniture.

It also scratches very easily.

I'm very disappointed in this product. I applied this paint last year, touched up the bad spots this spring, and it's still no good.

Cons:
  • Sticks to furniture and rugs
  • Does not dry thoughly
  • Scratches too easily

Preferred solution: Advise to fix this problem as the paint has been on the deck for over a year

User's recommendation: Do not use this paint on porches and deck.

I purchased Behr paint years ago and was very pleased. Unfortunately I recently painted with Behr again and it was terrible!

Just putting up a picture scuffed the paint and the mark wouldn’t come off! It was their paint for scuff marks! It went on poorly and I had to use way more then the normal amount for coverage. Beware!

Try something else. I will never but it again.

I contacted bahr and they said as a courtesy they will send me one gallon. That was very nice of them because they didn't really have to do that. Thanks

I bought 2 gallons of Behr Dynasty from Home Depot. I was told about the guarantee and I bought the required brushes.

Well it took 2 coats.

So I would like my money back.

I have the receipt along with pictures of the walls after one coat. Not sure who to talk to about it.

Thanks

Were you aware of the caveat that only colors from the approved Marquee/Dynasty "One Coat" palette will cover in one coat? There are other warnings on the can too, noting that the wall must be well sealed to assure performance.

Deck was stained last year, its peeling, chipping and I cant get through to customer service. Phone menus , put on hold., figure the customer will get frustrated and hang up. So sad to see another good company swirl the drain with poor support.

Cons:
  • Poor customer support lack of standing behind product

Preferred solution: Replace product and applicators I’m out my time, cost of brush’s, rollers and deck stain 4 gallons

User's recommendation: Buy a different product with good support

Problem with my paint

AI Highlights
  • Bought 3 Behr gallons on March 23; two opened gallons had gooey clumps that fouled rollers and we returned the third to Home Depot.
Behr - Problem with my paint
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

I bought 3 gallons of paint on March 23 and we painted the following week and two of the gallons that we opened. There were gooey clumps of paint, and it made painting very difficult because it was getting on our rollers and on the walls.

We returned the third gallon to Home Depot in Collingwood although we did purchase them at the Home Depot in Barrie.

We were not pleased with the amount of extra work we had to do in order to pull these clumps of paint off our rollers. Theres obviously something wrong with the paint because weve never had issues before with Behr paints.

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Of course I recommend Behr paints, I’ve used it for many many years, and never had an issue. I’m assuming there was something wrong with the batch.

The surface being painted must be well sealed, or else streaking and "flashing" may occur. Most ceiling paints do not seal well.

Sounds like poor insulation is causing the walls to soil unevenly. In older or poorly insulated homes, the walls show cold spot shadowing.

I strained my deck with Behr solid stain that was supposed to last 10 to 25 years. In March I was walking around on my decks and noticed multiple areas where the stain was peeling.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

After not even one year the stain on the decks in multiple locations is peeling. The deck was power washed the previous summer and I also went over it with deck cleaner before staining.

I contacted Behr in March and sent them pictures of the stain and deck. They were supposed to send me 5 gallons but never sent it.

User's recommendation: Find another brand, they don't stand behind their product.
