Defense of Behr Paint/Stains

There is some negitivity floating out on the net concerning Behr paint products, as I recently posted this comment below on Bob Vila's site to someone who thinks "Behr Paints Totally Sucks"; http://www.bobvila.com/wwwboard/messages/255383.html

"Have to disagree, as I've had Behr solid body stain paint on my home for more than 15 years. As a local paint contractor, I have had one paint failure in my vast experience painting 3-400 homes a year. The paint failure was not a failure, as we painted cedar shake shingles, and sheets of stain paint came off months later, with a slight degree of wood behind it. We pressure washed, and primed, applying 2 coats wet on dry of ICI's Wood Pride. Coming to realize "Product is only as good as the substrate is it covering", and cannot think Behr is as bad as you claim, you being no expert in product knowledge", as I've been using most named brand painting products over 32+ years.

Knowing this problem is NOT a product failure, but a substrate delimitation, I'm surprised Bob keeps this thread active, unless of course he has a vested interest defaming another company.I'm surprised Bob continues to keep this thread active, as the professional he claims to be.

Also noting, with paint/staining cedar shake shingles, they are made to delaminate, sholfing off small bits of wood over time, I do not hold ICI and products responsible.
