In 2025, BEHR® Paint and KILZ® Primer launched the biggest Ultimate Pro Van Contest yet with three fully customized vans built by MotorTrend. Get to know our three amazing winners below and stay tuned for exciting news later this year!
What does winning this pro van mean to you and your business?
Winning this pro van means a lot to me. It allows me to show up with a level of professionalism that will now pair well with the quality of my work. I’ve been driving an older truck that didn’t lock and didn’t reflect the standard I hold myself to. Now, I have a vehicle that represents that quality, and it honestly feels like an answer to my prayer.
What is the one pro van feature you are the most excited about and why?
Honestly, I have to say the fact that the van locks. I was praying to God for a vehicle that I could lock, because my current truck doesn’t. Now having a lockable van gives me real peace of mind. That said, the ladder racks are huge for me. Being able to quickly and safely store and access ladders is going to make a big difference day to day. And the solar setup honestly blows my mind. Having power built into the van like that opens up so many possibilities on the job.
Do you have a favorite Behr paint color?
One of my favorite BEHR colors is Nano White (HDC-MD-06). I just love white because it goes with anything. It’s clean, bright white with just enough warmth so it doesn’t feel harsh. It gives that high-end look I’m always going for, and it works in just about any space.
Why did you enter the Ultimate Pro Van Contest? How do you feel now that you’re a winner?
I entered the contest because I saw it as a great opportunity and knew I had to go for it. I felt like it could improve my daily life, and all I had to do was be myself and be real, so that’s what I did, and I’m really glad I did. Now that I’m a winner, I feel very happy and thankful, and I’m excited to have the van working with me soon.
What advice would you give to 2026 Pros looking to enter the Ultimate Pro Van Contest?
My advice would be simple: go for it and be authentic. Share your story, your passion, and what drives you in your work. Opportunities like this don’t come around often, so take the chance, you never know what could happen.
What is your favorite Behr or KILZ product and why?
The product I’ve used the most is KILZ Original. I use it after removing wallpaper, and it has consistently given me great results.
What does winning this pro van mean to you and your business?
Winning this van is such a massive upgrade for my work! I will be able to fit my tools more efficiently during the day and look significantly more professional rolling up to any job site.
What is the one pro van feature you are the most excited about and why?
The pull-down ladder rack is really neat, the high roof is great so I can fully stand up, but my favorite feature is the built-in sink and water system so I can speed up my clean up on site and not have to worry about that when I get home for the day.
What is your favorite Behr or KILZ product and why? Do you have a favorite Behr paint color?
My mother swears by Behr paint and that’s who taught me to paint so it’s a bit of a family legacy if you will. My personal favorite is the Behr spray cans, having premium paints in a convenient application to touch up or speed up a project is incredibly useful. I painted a room recently in the Behr Midtown (MQ2-47) color in a satin finish, it felt elevated without being overwhelming.
