- BEHR MARQUEE | HOME DEPOT PAINT | Premium Paint Review
Marquee by Behr is branded as their premium paint that's at the top of their paint line. It's said to have excellent coverage and is meant to compete with the likes of Benjamin Moore Aura and Sherwin Williams Emerald. Does it have what it takes?

I used Marquee to cover a bright red from the previous owner. The light blue for my son’s nursery truly covered in one coat. I was shocked!
I covered deep burgundy walls with Behr Marquee Ginger Sugar in ONE coat! Ginger Sugar is very light with an LRV of 70. I usually use Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore, but this stuff is AMAZING. I am so glad you are doing videos on this line!
This is hands down the best paint I have ever used.
I never used it before because of the price. I am not a professional handyman. I am just a regular guy who works all week and doesn't have a lot of time for home improvement.
I have used other brands of paint like valspar from lowes. The crap peeled off easily with fingernails after a couple of days. Yes, I cleaned the walls. No, I was not painting laytex over oil. It was just a chit paint that burned me twice.
I tried Behr Marquee today. I washed the walls. One coat completely covered the walls. I applied two coats anyway. I couldn't scratch the paint off the walls after 90 minutes.
I am sold on this paint. Excellent product even though it's high in price.... But the saying of you get what you pay for is true
This is AWESOME to hear! Sometimes Behr gets a bad rap (especially from contractors), so it's really great to learn about your positive experience using it!
It really is some good ass paint, although if I had to choose between the two...I'd probably take the Sherwin Williams Infinity paint from Lowe's... Shit is durable as hell
Just my recommendation since I literally just used a Marquette semi gloss; did a 16 x 12 kitchen with one coat using a light yellow color over 2 coats of primer. The wall itself is an older house so the walls aren't drywall rather plaster over wood. Gotta say it came out fantastic, still have half a can left. Used a premium roller from home depot.
I highly recommend the Marquee exterior paint. I painted my house a pale yellow over 10 years ago and I live in Florida. This paint has been through hurricanes, humidity, direct sun, etc and it still looks great. Pick a color that is somewhat subdued or pastel like, I did paint my detached garage bright orange and that one is showing signs of fading after a decade in Florida weather and sun. The paler colors will wear better. It is worth spending more on a quality product that you get double the life span from in comparison to competitor brands.
I just painted my front door with marquee exterior. Seems to be good. Dry really fast. Waiting to do a 2nd coat, before restalling the locks and accessories. 1qrt last a long time, still has 80% left after 1 coat. May use the rest for other projects, gutters, screen door, windows etc. For 25 bucks, good stuff
I have painted a few houses with this paint recently. It does cover in one heavy coat. Yes you have to back roll but why come back twice? Two coats looked just as good as one thick & heavy coat from my experience.
I’ll give Benjamin Moore the edge in color selection, but the ease of coverage with Behr is unmatched. I love it. I had to find something to replace my Ralph Lauren paint. It had a cream-like consistency and depth to color. Now I have turned to Behr Marquee.
I miss Ralph Lauren paint!! Will be trying marquee soon.
Using Marquee today, but have had tons of success with PPG Timeless which is my number 1 these days.
glad I found your site!! We have a 1906 vintage house located in Minnesota.... The siding is wood/ stucco and does sometimes require painting... always looking for a source with qualified opinions regarding house paints!!!
What's the right roller sleeve?
I painted my exterior doors with Marquee in dark green. I love it. It almost seems like it has a “plastic “ in it which is good because so much bright sunlight hits them. Really good paint..
Thanks. I specifically want to know about this product's exterior version.
I have the exterior... do I need to put Kilz under it?
Trying to decide on which Behr paint to use on exterior (Hardi siding). Consumer Reports rated Marquee best for interior , but poor for exterior. Behr Premium Plus Ultra was rated best for exterior.
Anyone used this? Appreciate any feedback.
I painted the master with marquee. Light blue accent and a dark royal blue walls. The old color was a very.... interesting gold mattalic paint with a brush pattern my grandma had done. I used brushes for corners and a basic roll brush. It covered very well It did most of the job on the first coat but I did a second and it was covered. even the very light blue I used covered the gold in just three. For breaks I wrapped the roller in a plastic bag tightly. Was fine even overnight did not dry up at all.
For the most part, the 1-coat coverage might be good enough for some people, but it's always worth going over it all again. I'm glad you had a good experience! See you later, gold faux-finish. 😂
I use this paint all the time. Always 1 coat and it holds up well
Just a little note, technically, the “one coat coverage guarantee” only applies to their specific color tints that are indicated to be part of the one coat coverage guarantee.
For instance, in their Whites, only ONE specific white, Cameo White, is actually included in the guarantee.
That said, BEHR Marquee is the only paint I use, and I usually give it two coats, mainly because I’m not a great painter, and I often mis a spot, or paint unevenly.
Really helpful. Many thanks!
We've had good results with different Behr paints over the years. While I like the brand, my experience with Marquee is that it's not a one-coat paint, as advertised. My most recent use was painting over 'antique white' with the lighter color of 'Swiss coffee' ~ still took 2 coats. Very durable though.
We agree. Great product but two coats are necessary.
I use Marquee fo rpainting cabinets. I can roll first coat and then do the second coat like 15 minutes later. I love how fast it dries.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Lots of good info in your videos thank you.
It's our pleasure!
What’s the difference between Marquee and Dynasty?
Could you advise on what ceiling, trim colors to use with White Dove? Also Decorator's White?? Thank you!!!
I'd probably go with something like Chantilly Lace for both. That way you'll still see a difference.
I really love the marquee line, I painted an old piano with the eggshell finish - this paint is badass!
Oh cool! Thanks for the feedback Kelly! Just curious, what color did you paint the piano?
@@thepaintpeople Hi, had to look for the swatch, but the color is called Dark Crimson - it's a beautiful deep red inching towards a burgundy - one coat would have been enough, but I did 2 coats.
Wait, you just said (4:13) that if you use the one-coat guaranteed color you would have to 'figure out the color you are covering up'??? That doesn't make sense to me. The one-coat guaranteed colors as I understand it have been tested to cover any color, hence the guarantee, so if you're going over a colored wall and don't want the hassle of a second coat I would guess that the one-coat guarantee is an advantage...? That said, I have had success with one coat over tinted (light color) walls using a custom color. Also, I disagree on the 'skinning over too quick' issue. I did not find I ever had problem rolling, cutting and taking breaks with respect to the paint forming a skin too quickly.
Can I use it in a paint gun and just back roll
used Marquee on a small bathroom which i primed due to due coats, AND IT STILL TWO COATS.
I have a new gallon of behr satin white enamel, and plan on doing my oak grain kitchen cabinets this spring using a sprayer...as well as my walls (Aegean teal)... I am planning on painting some furniture white as well, as they are integrated into the kitchen..
I debated (still) on getting the "Beyond" paint in bright (bright) white for the cabinets, and because one furniture piece is a mix of laminate and solid wood...
Do you think I'd be ok using the Behr white for everything? When it comes to the laminate piece (large) I'm thinking scuff and spray it with primer anyway... despite the paint/primer claim of Behr.
Same with the cabinets you think?
Walls are already painted eggshell white. Trim painted gloss white...so No prime needed. Using sherwin William's Agean teal on the walls.
TY
If you don’t use a cabinet paint with Alkaloids in it ...you will need a poly top coat to harden the surface
There’s tons of Pinterest on painting cabinets as well as Bob Vila guys on TH-cam etc. Sanding off shine but not down to bare wood, 2 coats Kilz3 primer foam roller then brush - wait 2 days to do Benjamin Moore ADVANCE satin paint - Amazing Self Leveling -shrinks down even the primer layer - so your oak grain shows. We plan spray the doors after sanding & priming because the small hand painted ones show any errors like twice brushing over 1st or 2nd coat. 2nd coat no sooner than 16 hours is critical .
Very happy with cabinet backs /Island / ends and fronts.
Best of luck!
I just bought Behr Marquee to paint my laminate furniture. Should I use additional primer and a sealer?
Yes! We'd recommend Stix primer as your base coat. That'll ensure proper adhesion.
The Paint People and what about a sealer?
A clear water based sealer would provide extra protection, especially if the furniture is more than just decorative.
The Paint People ok thank you so much!
Thank you for the video. Nice beard too!
We can thank quarantine for the beard. haha
How would you rate it in finished look/feel/leveling to Aura or Regal? Would it be better to reduce it with 8oz water?
It's definitely comparable. It's not necessary to reduce it in my opinion.
@@thepaintpeople For technique, would you say overall treat it like Regal or Aura? I was surprised my first time using Aura as I thought "this is like Behr Ultra." I'm willing to revisit Behr as in 2012/2013 I did my first DIY paint jobs with Behr, then I got more paint experience and tried some again in 2015 and it was awful. Later I got some Behr Alkyd and it was super good and like Advance, and I'm wondering if with their reformulations now if they've changed back to being a decent paint. I used an old can of Behr PP from 2013 on some door frames a few days ago and was really impressed with it, so I knew it wasn't just my imagination in 2013.
For covers, I normally use Arroworthy 9/16" microfibers prewetted, but would this paint be better with a Wooster Microplush 5/16"? Does it tolerate backrolling? I tend to backroll everything down and Aura doesn't really tolerate it that well, but Regal is usually OK with that technique.
It seems like it is good for everything except application. Seems like it is thick which makes it harder to get a very smooth result.
Do you recommend in satin for a handrail ?
Satin would work nicely.
If I use primer should I have to do more than one coat
Yes always two coats after you prime.
Informative. Can you elaborate on why more than 1 coat is needed to cover white with white
White has fewer pigments in it so the hide is usually poor.
Isn't Dynasty their best paint?
I just bought 2 bottles of Marquee paint for my kitchen cabinets and it already have primer should I still prime first?
How did your cabinets come out using this paint.?
@@a-visible.change.6718 I painted all of my room and closet doors with this paint in satin finish. I did use two coats, first was thin,,and I used it pretty much for coverage, second I went heavy with is so it can self level, and it turned out wonderful. I was careful with all of the door for a month, and now it’s super strong layer, that’s surviving my two small children bumping their large car toys, and everything else. I truly love this paint.
Cant add pic...but I bought Behr Marquis exterior in a dark color to paint my front door - the color was off so I kept the can for another project & went back to Home Depot - I asked the paint dept for the best way to apply my new color since the last coat came out streaky. He told me to use a 1/4" nap roller - the first time I had used a smoother roller. Well - the door came out the same - I tried to finish an area & move on since it dries so fast - not sure why I can see the roller marks still. Can anyone recommend a specific brush for the 2nd (3rd) coat? The color is a crimson red - the roller marks are bad....
Hi Angie, is it possible it wasn't completely dry before you did the second coat? That can sometimes cause streaks.
@@thepaintpeople No....I waited several days. I ended up using a Stanley brush for the 3rd coat - it came out better but not completely smooth. Thanks for reply!
I’ll stick with SW Duration. Yeah, I need 2 coats, but it is easy to work with and does not skin over like the Behr. The Duration is durable too.
Skin over was so annoying. I had no idea it would do that.
I have tried it and think it works as a one coat paint,, but you have to be an extremely disciplined painter who paints in a very methodical manner to make it work. I have ADHD so that doesn’t work well for me 🤣 I take a lot of mini breaks while painting…
Good point! Love a mini break!
Thanks. Using Marquee satin for downstairs bathroom
Oh perfect! Let us know how it goes!
Please make a video on technique! I want to know why I have to cut in 5+ times to get coverage 😵
Want some brushwork videos?
@@thepaintpeople Yes please!
Behr paint is the worst
@@mikeorfe1188 You must not know how to paint then.
@@Mike__james Benjamin Moore is the pain for painting pros
This paint taught me to work without tape because it dries so quickly. It seems like no matter how quickly I'd take my tape off, it would always rip off slightly jagged edges of paint with it because the paint was drying so quickly. I finally gave up on the tape because I had to go back to it and re-do it to make it look nice, so now I'm working without any tape at all.
Need to by better tape or caulk the tape and it won't blead through. Its not the paint
Learn to cut in. Tape is a mess, and a waste of time and money.
@@Mike__james Ugh. So now I'm not just wasting a bunch of time taping, I'm also going over it all with caulk?!
I'm getting better and better at cutting in without tape. I think that's going to work much better.
@@Mike__james Also, the problem wasn't bleeding through. The problem was that the paint was trying so fast that even when I'd take it down 20 minutes after painting, it would tear off tiny chunks and make it a bit jagged.
@@mitchjohnson4714 Yeah getting better at cutting in is the way to go keep slinging the brush .
Before applying this paint do you need to put a primer on
Thanks for sharing your experience 10 Speed!
@@thepaintpeople you didn’t answer the question
@@mattvandomelen9137 oops! Wrong comment. 😂 primer isn’t necessary if you’re using it on a previously painted wall, assuming it’s water-based. I always prime bare drywall though.
Any thoughts on Behr Dynasty?
Hi Tiffany, should be doing a video on Behr Dynasty in the next month or so.
Is there truly a one-coat paint?? Is Aura really one coat?
Never mind, I just watched your video on Aura 🙂
Haha awesome!
No paint is one coat... EVER
Maybe if it's over the same color! Sometimes
I recently used SW Emerald satin on entire home interior. EVERY color needed TWO Coats. When I complained to SW, they told me Two coats were required for their satisfaction warranty. The warranty is useless, because it only covers paint failure, such as blistering, peeling etc.
Whatever the advertising may say, pretty much every paint needs at least 2 coats to look its best.
There is no such thing as one coat coverage! If you want it to look good it's always at least 2 coats.
Agree!
So true. Even if I feel like I got good coverage as far as color goes, I believe a second coat can help even out the sheen, as well as ensure I didn't miss any tiny spots with my first coat.
Do you need to use primer?
If you're painting walls with it, I would only prime brand new, bare drywall. If it's been painted before, this paint would go right over.
I only power washed the exterior of my house before painting, no primer. Picked a light color (pale yellow) applied over a very similar light yellow. It has held up over 10 years in the Florida weather extremes.
I absolutely love Benjamin Moore, but here we are going on year 2 of being unable to buy it without stalking the poor paint store employees to the point of restraining order. I would love to see more Behr color discussions added to your lineup.
Thanks for the feedback April! I do keep track of everyone's requests and try to get to what I can/what's most requested!
Is this paint sprayable using an electric spray gun?
Should be Larry!
yes, my brother is a contractor and he used a single gallon to paint my detached garage with Marquee.
Back rolling is just part of doing a professional job. If the colors anywhere near what's on the wall now it should cover in one coat. And it sure better if the paint cost like 40 bucks a gallon. Maybe you guys need some lessons.
I think we're good Bob but thanks for the offer!
only the paints that say they are one coat on the card are the ones that aww guaranteed one coat.
False advertising! Will never use Behr again. Does not cover in one coat. Did some research and found out their paint is way too thin to do one coat coverings. Professional painters recommend Valspar so going to give it a try.
I'm not sure which one you bought but this paint is extremely thick. It's almost like glue.
From what I’ve seen, Behr cures too soft, is prone to surfactant leaching, looks old and chalky much faster than true premium paints. Behr has glowing reviews that make a big deal about it’s coverage and its low price, but personally, I’d rather spend 25% more and use 25% more paint to get a better result.
The surfactant leaching happens with all paints when you put the wrong kind of paint in bathrooms or kitchens with tons of air moisture and don't have proper ventilation.
This absolutely will not happen with proper paint and sheen choice for the space and application.
If Behr was good they would have a paint store. It’s equal to the lower end paints from BM and SW in my experience. If I want to spend less I’m still going to buy lower end BM and SW. And the customer service and support from the people selling BM and SW is unparalleled.
I wouldn't recommend it. The actual color was never right and I had 3 different wall colors from the same paint.
1 coat depending on color lol
Ain't that always the way lol
It's enamel and that's a deal breaker for me
Over priced garbage peels off like rubber when dried.
Behr is not that good you waste more money buying gallons of paint because it doesn’t cover as well,ur better off getting Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams
To each their own!
@Steven Strain I'm using the Marquee exterior paint, highest quality. I hear that it sprays nicely, but I don't use a sprayer. There is a ton of drag on my brush and it's hard to keep a wet edge because the paint dries too fast. I tried a smooth nap roller, but even that left marks. I called Home Depot who gave no useful help or advice but told me when the Behr rep would be in. I'm definitely going to have to use a second coat; fortunately, I will have enough paint left to accomplish that. I will probably use another brand for my next project.
Benjamin Moore is much better.
Have had good results with behr in past. Recently used behr in white and a gray color, dissapointing as paint did not cover well and ran down wall
BM SW overpriced paint
This guy uses a paint tray 🤣
Yup! It's a great place to put paint! lol
stop taking and start painting
Taking?
🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢 hate it. Drips 💧💧💧
I'm working for a woman who paid $100.00 for a gallon of Benjamin Moore Aura paint ! Garbage azz $hit !
Behr paint is the worst on the market
Thanks for one line opinion.
@@ach1199 Call there’s really nothing else to say it junk is junk
I’ve used Behr almost exclusively for 30 years. Excellent results every time.
@@nursewratchet59 behr is pure garbage.
@@mikeorfe1188 I’ve always had great results. Never an issue.
Sherwin Williams Cashmere or Super paint blows this crap away. Plus, Marqees way overpriced. I've been doing drywall and paint for twenty-four years as a pro!
