I have been painting for over 20 years and this guy does the best job of explaining exterior paints and why they are good. Agree with his choices but would put Behr Ultra in 1st place. Reason being is it applies smoother. Marquee dries too fast and tends to leave roller marks.

Great straightforward comparison ! One thing I love about SW is their LRV values are on the back of their paint cards. I've never found anyone in the paint department at Home Depot to even know what LRV means. Critical when painting plastic wood such as Azek and others. We use a lot in exterior trim areas of upper end homes in our company.

@tlk50970 Жыл бұрын

I own a high end painting company also high end faux finishing company. Behr colors definitely change more over the years. When we do touch ups years later Behr has the most color change/oxidation. Sherwin williams Emerald and BM Aura are better paints, but yes, more expensive. But…. Labor and time is most expensive. So that extra cost, IF PREPPED CORRECTLY, is worth it if you’re getting 12 years vs 8 years. I’ve used Behr for a few years but had to stop when we would go back for touch ups or repairs and the colors always faded. S-W and BM are most pros go to. We only use Emerald and Shermax or big stretch caulking.

@Bacnow Жыл бұрын

I 100% agree with you! I am a GC and my paint contractor will only use SW or BM products based on the similar sentiments! If the customer insists on using an inferior product then my PC will politely pass on the job! He’s a perfectionist and doesn’t want his name associated with something that’s not going to last!

I would be most grateful if you would be so kind as to offer some brief thoughts on sheen level for exterior home using the Behr Marquee. I have a lot of shade and my 80 year old wood siding is full of imperfections. I'm probably the last wood holdout in my neighborhood, but it's still solid and I love it; so much craftsmanship. Is flat too low? What do you suggest in the Marquee? Many, many thanks. Dan in Ohio.

@johnbarr6616 9 ай бұрын

Sherwin Williams products are guaranteed to fade per SW, at an acceptable rate of 50% in the first year due to their use of generic pigments. This is per SW’s own admission. Their lifetime coatings are prorated. The lifetime per SW is 8 years and is non-transferable with original sales receipt required for a material only warranty that is extremely difficult to collect . Installer error is largely to blame on most installs. Bang for the buck....Benjamin Moore Regal High build. A fantastic product based on the old MorGlo from years ago. Aura is the top of the line but you will get years of service with bridging capabilities on repaints and a high build product for new construction in a mid priced line. It works! Tips from a 37 year veteran of the painting industry, not affiliated with any manufacturer. Good luck.

@dennis17116 9 ай бұрын

First off sherwin is a hydrophobic paint and only one on the market. It literally cleans itself unlike Aura. You can’t even comparing the two. Emerald is the most durable paint in the market. I’ve used all these and emerald as far as durability is the best. If you painting a house on the coast where salt is a factor definitely Emerald over aura.

Do you still recommend Benjamin Moore Advance. Going with Satin and using Smart Prime. I will brush everything as I don't have a sprayer. Thank You

@bignorwegian Жыл бұрын

Bob, I am not a professional painter, just a guy who likes to do DIY projects. We are currently remodeling our laundry room. 1995 golden oak cabinets. Based on other KZfaq videos (as today is the first I've seen Ryan's videos), we chose Benjamin Moore Advance. It looks fantastic. We used Zinsser Bin primer (shellac), which dried in about 20-30 minutes and gave us a rock solid surface to paint on; we did do a light sanding between the primer and the first coat of paint. Best of luck on your project. We hope to paint the exterior of our home this summer, so will be taking a serious look at the Behr Marquee, based on Ryan's recommendation.

That may be less about the paint and more to do with other moisture issues in your woodwork. Look to see where moisture is coming in and seal it (caulk or other). Is it coming from inside the house (e.g., attid?). Those issues (rotten wood and chipping paint) typically are because of moisture behind the coat. Moisture is getting in from somewhere, and often through the back or through cracks (e.g., joints). A thought.

If it peeled, you have not prepped correctly. We use Emerald and use duct tape to mask since it does have self cleaning properties and trust me, you can’t peel it off at all. Behr products we have found change color more drastically and oxidize much faster than S-W and BM. We paint lots of high end home. Touch ups 5 years later S-W emerald is solid as well as BM. Behr colors rarely still match after years in the sun. Adhesion on any of these products is either a moisture issue getting into the wood or substrate or a prep issue.

Behr paint sucks. You get what you pay for. Stay away from prime and paint especially. Benjamin Moore is the best paint and best colors. You cannot pick a BM color and gave it mixed at Home Depot as Behr and get the same color. The undertones are different. For young families Sherwin W is ok. BM is the best hands down. Mine lasted 13 years and I only painted to change colors. Revere Pewter is a great neutral and is often chosen by designers.

If a paint took more than two coats, I'd question if you used their lowest grade paint and ask what color were you painting with? I've found Behr Ultra on up through Marquee and Dynasty to cover every color in 2 coats. Behr is also proven to be one of the best against fade and scuffing.
