Workability can be evaluated in three different ways.
First, I measure how far it spreads with one dip of a brush in the can. To the best of my ability, I dip my paintbrush 1 inch into the paint can and see how far I can make it go. If I can paint for at least 24 inches, I grade it a 9. If I can have it spread over 30 inches, I grade it a 10.
Secondly, how easy does Behr Dynasty Spread? In other words, is it easy to work with?
Finally, what is the working time for Behr Dynasty Semi-gloss?
Spreadability – 30 inches, which gives Behr Dynasty a ten.
Ease of Use – Above average. The slight frustration I have with Dynasty is that it sets up faster than I want. It can be difficult to paint a 6 panel door with Dynasty when the paint begins to get sticky. However, It spreads easier that Ben Moore Advance and Aura but not as smoothly as Emerald Urethane and PPG UltraLast.
Working Time of Behr Dynasty? – Under normal conditions, Emerald has a working time of 30 seconds, which can be challenging when painting doors.
How far does it spread? – A one inch dip spreads 32-36 inches, which is very good.
How easy is it to spread? – good not great. About average compared to other premium brands
Working time?– Behr Dynasty starts getting uncooperative in about 45 seconds.
Overall Workability of Behr Dynasty: score 8
