I thought this chap did a really nice job with this video! Enjoyable to listen to, easy to follow, succinct, to the point, full of good information, and pleasant. Just getting ready to paint my house this summer, and he sold me on Behr Marquee.

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.

Painted my wood siding with marquee starting about 7 years ago. Still looks brand new. Went on with one coat coverage.

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.

Painted my house many years ago using Sears paint that was on sale for $8.88 a gallon. 20 gallons for under $200 bucks. Inflation sucks!

You are my go-to for DIY painting advice - SO knowlegeable and many years of experience!

We plan to paint the exterior of our home this summer. This information is extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to produce this video and give actual data, rather than 'only' your opinion. We will be taking a serious look at the Marquee, based on your recommendation (I've had great success with Behr products in the past, so there is no hesitation using it in the future). You have a new subscriber; thanks again for the info.

I used Dutch Boy exterior paint about 5 years ago. Black on top of old black paint. Covered great of course, and still looks good. Dutch Boy owned by SW. They own Valspar also.

That hose clip is too real for me in the summary 😂 3:13

[igodoresearch]

Pretty consistent with my experience as a DIYer! Behr Marquee is truly unmatched! I've used it exclusively since I discovered it about 5 years ago! Can't wait to use it this summer on my home exterior!

[michaelsix]

anyone remember Sears Weatherbeater paint?

[ferraridan]

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.

Had a friend use sherman super paint 30 years ago, its sill going strong!

[thaotruong]

I agree with you. Behr Marquee is awesome! I can never go back to the other brands.

[jenna]

Great information for what I'm looking for. Need to paint my they have bright white in Marquee. Thank you

[happywgod]

Hey followed your advice on the choice of paint. And thank you so much! It is an amazing product 👏

[ruthholec]

I’m hooked on your videos and the good results that you’re having with Benjamin Moore Advance satin paint and the 5, 000 Wagner spayer. All the shipments came in and it’s time to see how my project turns out! 😬

[bootlebeats]

Thanks for your honest assessment of your favorite picks and reasons. :)
