Leading Paint Manufacturer Offers Top-of-the-Line Stain Blocking Paint and Primer for Lasting Exterior Performance
SANTA ANA, Calif.— BehrPro, the Professional Products and Services Group of Behr Process Corporation, has announced the availability of its newest paint product line—BEHR MARQUEE™ Exterior Paint and Primer. With dual paint and primer performance, MARQUEE Exterior paint offers Behr’s most advanced technology to deliver world-class durability paired with superior UV protection for longer lasting color and the ability to resist rain as early as 60 minutes after application. Specialized polymers in the 100 percent acrylic formula provide a tough, non-stick surface, helping to prevent dirt adhesion and maintain the appearance of exterior surfaces under the most challenging weather conditions.
“The MARQUEE product is our most premier paint that delivers best-in-class performance and the ultimate in dirt resistance, ensuring exterior surfaces look freshly painted longer with reduced fade,” said Colin Jaffe, senior vice president of operations for professional products and services at Behr. “MARQUEE paint remains looking beautiful and luxurious, even under extreme weather conditions, allowing a professional to increase customer satisfaction and reduce the number of future repaints required—which in turn increases business efficiency and profitability.”
For professional residential and commercial painters, remodelers, contractors and property managers, BEHR MARQUEE paint offers early rain resistance, allowing for painting later in the wet season. When using the MARQUEE product, the film resists rain after just 60 minutes without surfactant leaching, run off or visible film defects. After significant research and development, the MARQUEE line has been specifically designed to provide the professional and consumer marketplace with a premium product that resists dirt and fading, while maintaining its finish in environments with intense rain, snow, wind, UV exposure and other extreme weather conditions.
The low VOC MARQUEE Exterior paint, currently available in The Home Depot stores nationwide and through the BehrPro℠ program, comes is flat, satin enamel and semi-gloss enamel sheens. MARQUEE is available for color tinting through 64 new and unique exterior colors, as well as the more than 2,000 existing core Behr colors and 364 BEHR PREMIUM PLUS ULTRA paint hues.
