DO NOT USE BEHR. We had the exact same problem with Behr. We’ve been working over 18 months with Behr to resolve the problem. After two coats of primer over their “premium” paint and another paint over the top of those, we ended up having to rip out the drywall in our two bedroom home in our master bedroom. We lived in a tent in the backyard for a while. It was an awful mess. I highly recommend using Sherwin Williams Harmony. BUT… it sounds to me like you’re going to have to rip out your drywall. Trust me on this, don’t waste your time doing anything else, it just won’t work.

Masco (Behr) is paying for their bad batch of paint and the damage it did to our home.

FRESH AIR is going out of business!!!!!!!!!

We used freshaire and are mostly pleased. It does have a slight smell, which was too much for me while pregnant; I left the house while my husband painted. But after a couple days the smell was completely gone. Peeling: yes, some. But the health factors outweigh that issue for me; just sand and touch up.
We’re going to try Mythic for the rest of the house because I’ve read that it performs better and we can get custom color matching. Plus I do suspect that there are still toxins in Freshaire because of the smell when it’s wet. Mythic claims to be zero-VOC as well as non-toxic but Freshaire only claims zero-VOC.

Love this paint! My husband and I painted our bedroom. Since I’m pregnant I wanted a total non VOC paint. There is no odor and the color is beautiful.
We like the flat due to the light in our bedroom.
I can’t wait to paint the rest of the house (minus the bathroom) with Fresh aire.

Seriously, water based paint in a bathroom? who does that? Companies specially make paints for bathrooms due to the fact that they tend to become damp sometimes after use.

Honestly I would never use this product again! I`ll never recommend it to anybody! I had to sand it all off and strip my bathroom walls down to totally remove this crap! It was nothing but a big pain in the butt! Don`t use this stuff in the Bathroom or any damp/steamy environment! I have totally preped the walls before application, sanding, spackling,ect. I am very experienced at painting and am very picky about doing a job right. This paint is water based and will not cure in a damp area like the bath! It ran off the wall!

Sharon, Are you having any problems with your paint running of the walls after you take a shower? I just did my bathroom with this freshaire product. What a mistake! It is running if it geats wet. Rub your finger across it and you have paint on it! This has been over a week and a half now and it still runs and streaks! I wish I never used this product in the bath!

I just painted my bathroom using Freshaire paint. It didn’t smell and went on Ok. but the paint dried darker around the edges- where I used a paintbrush to cut in. Thought the second coat would look better, but still can see a dark outline around all of the edges. I will need to repaint the room.

i had same problem with natura from b moore, it didn’t dry right & smelled awful for months, made family very very sick. tried many things . you can not cover it, it will leach through. you must re-sheetrock everything & try repainting with mythic. no complaints that i can see.

I called the Consumer Product Safety Commission at
800-638-CPSC to report the damage Benjamin Moore Natura paint has done to my house. Someone answered right away and took all the information. I asked if it would help if others called too, and he said yes. So why not give them a call? We need HELP.
