Update by user Aug 24, 2020

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with product replacement. Spoke to Ken.

He said that they would replace the paint needed to repaint the deck. That was all I wanted. Will be using a different Arbor coat. He said the translucent stain only last a YEAR.

I was not informed of this and would never have used it had I known.

I will be using the acrylic solid this time. The deck must be completely sanded first..

Benjamin Moore Arbor-coat paint started to chip and peel the very first year it was applied. It is the worst paint I have ever used. Usually I love BM paint and don't use anything else. But this paint is the worst. And yes, it was prepped properly. My painter is having the exact same problem with another customer he used this paint on. Chipping and peeling in any area that gets any sun. Stay away from it.

User's recommendation: Do not use Benjamin Moore Arbor-coat paint.

Questions on which paint product to use

John, the representative from Benjamin Moore who I talked about buying the right paint for my situation. He explained the characteristics of the 2 kinds of paint I wanted to use, why one might be better for my application

Website issues

1.0
Benjamin Moore's website is awful. It's glitchy, slow and the cart randomly empties making you have to start all over. Were I not wedded to using Benjamin Moore paint, this would make me more on to another manufacturer. So disappointing that a company with such great paint has such a terrible website.

User's recommendation: Buy the paint, but skip the website!!!

Website is horrible. After playing around for an hour to get peel and stick samples in my cart, only half of them showed up. Over and over! Website won't come up ... obnoxious to deal with!

Horrible website. Doesn't respond, can't keep items selected in the cart. You have to wait forever for the site to even come up. All other internet connections are fine and I have super quick cable from Comcast. Just obnoxious and almost unusable to select peel and stick samples.

User's recommendation: Go to the store - the website is worthless!

Do not use Arborcoat

Arborcoat was recommended by our architect for a very expensive gate and trellis we had built out of clear cedar. We followed the instructions from our Benjamin Moore dealer: two coats of white Arborcoat and a top coat of clear Arborcoat. The gate and trellis are now streaked with yellow due to the top clear coat. BM customer service stated that it was the clear cedar. Really? With two under coats of white? They really dont stand behind their products. Will never use or recommend Benjamin Moore again.

User's recommendation: Don’t use Benjamin Moore Arborcoat paint—poor quality.

Rude Service

Just visited your Smith Ave store in Providence. 60 year old gentleman with long grey hair was incredibly rude. When I complained about his attitude, he replied "great don't come here anymore". Ken Schaefer 401.421.0121

User's recommendation: Usually fine, this time terrible.

Colore

For what reason do they keep changing the id # and name of the same color? It is very confusing to us consumers to keep up with a ridiculous marketing plan-calling colors new. We believed in your paint for years but you should fire the strategist behind this more than stupid plan, save yourself some money, and make it easier for people to buy paint.

User's recommendation: Complain, unless you get too tired of searching bm never ending color wheel, and go to Sherman Williams.

Paint won’t dry

Benjamin Moore - Paint won’t dry
My painter put a new exterior door with sidelights and grilles in on August 30, 2019. We bought Ben Moore Soft Gloss Exterior per store recommendations. The door is a steel door with fiberglass grilles. The glass panes have paint reside and when we try to scrape along glass to remove it pulls paint off the grilles. My painter says it’s not drying properly and we used wrong paint? Please help as this is a brand new beautiful door that looks terrible on the glas panes as well as tacky paint inside the door.

Been painting for over 30 years.

I have painted a pergola previously painted with a water based paint. After sanding, I applied a coat of oil based primer and then a coat of Super Spec HP, maintenance Coating , D.T.M Alkyd Low Luster White P23 01 and it chaulked and bled onto a dark decking> Thinking that I missed an area I repainted with the Low Luster white and it chaulked again. Any suggestions as to why this is chaulking?

Totally unprofessional, uncalled-for, arrogant and ill-mannered staff member named Frank

I'm a Benjamin Moore customer since 2010 and have been shopping at the Kendall Park Store in NJ (Zip code - 08824). I was very happy and satisfied with the service until today. I had an issue with a gallon of paint and wanted to see if I can get some paint (that froze due to unknown reasons) to do some patch work The sales rep at this store whose name is "Frank" turned out to be a totally unprofessional, arrogant and ill-mannered person and started making fun of me. Would like to see where I can call and log a formal complaint against such an unprofessional person. I would love to have someone from corporate cal me and help provide some mannerism to this sales rep (Frank @ Kendall Park, NJ location)
