Don't you read these posts Chris? The guys are saying it is Behr primer + paint in one so you don't need two coats. The primer goes on when you roll toward the ceiling and the paint part of it goes on with the return stroke down toward the floor. Or you can use the semi automatic application method. Just take off the lid and whirl the can around your head really fast. This method will give about the same look when it hits the wall as using Behr with conventional tools. See this URL for one application method and project perfectly suited to Behr combination primer and paint.

Actually one could just stand back and throw the paint on the wall and probably have close to the same results as taking the time using brushes and rollers. Even being a novice painter, once was enough for me with Behr, lol.

I made a trip to the local Home Depot just the other day for a few painting supplies. (Tape, roller trays, etc.) I buy the important stuff, like brushes, rollers, and of course paint, elsewhere. While there, an employee in the paint section tried to drum up business for the Behr primer and paint in one. (I think they must be providing compensation for pushing the stuff.) I have used Behr "paint" in the past, but I had to admit to the guy that I have not tried their new primer and paint in one, so on he went with a sales pitch for the stuff.
To make a long story short, after a five minute conversation, I seem to have convinced the sales associate of just how gimmicky the concept of primer and paint in one is, and to try BM paint for himself.  How'd I do that?
It's amazing what kind of results you get when you share facts instead of nonsense BS marketing. (Or maybe I suddenly figured out that whole Jedi mind trick thing.)

Don't waste money on Behr
Last time I used Behr paints was in the mid eighties, and I said, "Never again". Looks like they haven't improved the product since. If you're buying at Home Depot, the Glidden paint is much better and less expensive than Behr.
We had off-white woodwork that we primed and then painted with white Behr semigloss. It took three coats, and still looked bad, and was very streaky to work with. I have professional brushes that have never failed me, but they were squawking when dipped in a can of Behr.
I'm afraid to paint over it, because primer probably won't even stick. Bad stuff, waste of good money.

For what it's worth, I just slapped some BM waterbourn satin Impervo over a nasty runny coat of Behr that the previous owner had applied to the millwork in our dining room. It definitely stuck to the Behr with no problems. The question is, is the Behr stuck to the wood?

I've been buying paint exclusively through S-W since ever contracting my first remodel. I buy their paint because it's what my painters like to work with (they get free shirts, hats, etc...), the brand recognition, and because of the discount, I make some money on mark-up. However, I've used Behr paint and I have gotten good coverage and finish out of it.

Guess that depends on your definition of "good coverage" and "finish"

Most of the paints made by Behr are crap. I have painted with them many times (when the customer insists on buying the paint themselves) and have found the coverage to be horrible, the consistency thin, and the colors to be inaccurate. Several times I have had the paint literally run back down the walls after I applied it ( and no it's not my painting style as this never happens with higher quality paints). Behr only gets good ratings from consumer reports because they have absolutely no clue how to test a paint product and much of their rating is based on price. Behr is probably the reason so many home owners refuse to paint themselves anymore and hire professionals.
