I worked at Home Depot throughout the store and paint was by far the most fun. Only a select few colors have a one coat guarantee. Also, the sq ft coverage is rated to be the same. However in my experience, the ultra is thinner than would obviously go farther, but will definitely require a second coat. Cost benefit I always went with ultra, even for my side work just for workability
Could I get away with one coat of Behr Ultra since I am just covering white with white? I do plan do use some Kilz primer I hvae on any spots I scraped
I’ve used both ultra and marquee exterior and found the marquee to be better coverage in a single coat than ultra. It needs to be thinned for spraying but ultra can be run through an airless sprayer as-is. This takes the guess work out of thinning if you don’t have experience doing that. Both have a very nice finish.
I have no experience with sprayers so I am going to brush and roll. Behr told me since Ultra Pure White isn't a one-coat-guaranteed color for Marquee, I can probably just use Behr Ultra.
Marquee if you are trying one coat. Some colors do not have a one coat guarantee
You've had good success with Marquee? It's easy to work with?

I've only used Marquee inside, but I didn't think it was any better than Ultra.
Why isn't it any better?
If you’re doing the same color as you have now, both will work fine for coverage, depending on the surface.
I just assume Marquee is better than Ultra, but my theory is since it's a thicker paint it should be better for one coat...
