I thought Behr Premium Plus was an ok paint, and was basically all I used in the past couple of houses. Recently, I used a Benjamin Moore paint and I'll never go back to Behr. The BM paint was worth the increase in price. Fewer coats, better self leveling and blending, and the painted product just looks higher quality. Answer from vaporintrusion on reddit.com

PAINT - Behr Premium Plus VS Behr Premium Plus Ultra
February 20, 2015 - While I love BM and Pratt & Lambert, he should probably use a Behr cost-wise. So far I'm seeing different opinions on Behr Premium Plus VS Behr Premium Plus Ultra. (Although I know that Ultra has the primer "built-in" it seems that most professionals scoff at that.

Behr Premium Plus White (flat) vs Behr Marquee Ultra Pure White (eggshell) comparison
One other thing to note: Behr Premium Plus actually does one coat coverage better than Marquee UPW, which obviously is from the fact that it has black pigments in it for coverage. I’d say the Premium Plus white is significantly easier to work with and just do a one coat and be done. Marquee UPW needed two coats otherwise you see roller lines. More on reddit.com

Help regarding painting with behr premium plus ultra
It depends on what color you're painting and what color you're painting over. Generally plan on two but if dark colors are involved you may need three. It can also depend on how thick your coats are. Just do two and if it still looks like another is needed after do a third. More on reddit.com

r/HomeImprovement on Reddit: What are people's thoughts on Behr Premium Plus?
March 23, 2022 -

We live very close to HD so would like to stick with something that they sell. I've been doing research on premium plus and it seems to be very polarizing paint. Some people say it's great and it's the only paint they use and other people say it's absolute dogshit.

Just trying to get an idea of what people here think about it and if there's maybe something else they'd recommend from HD.

Edit: Seems like most people recommend going with Sherman Williams or Moore instead. I'll have to see what else is available nearby.
