Cabinet Coat

just what i needed. paints well, covers well. makes my painting look like a pro, which I am not for sure.

What can I say... its paint. Good consistency, dries even and quickly. Performs as it should with a smooth finish.

This has good coverage it did take me about three-four coats on my very old kitchen cabinets but the finish is great. It’s not too thick and application was easy. A whole gallon did my whole kitchen and the vanity in the upstairs bathroom great value for the money.

Ok, I am over the moon about this paint! I used an entire quart and reordered the gallon size. It is the most perfect white, extremely forgiving and easy to work with, and dries to a gorgeous not-quite-matte finish. Lovely. I have painted 4 doors and and frames, front and back, plus a window sill. A little goes a long way! I have found success by brushing on several thin layers, and patiently letting them dry between coats. I have used a brush (a couple of brushes) exclusively, no rollers, and the finish is gorgeous without paint strokes. I covered up an almond high gloss finish, and the results are perfect! So pleased I found this!

Better paint that the big box stores sell and more durable but still not as good as oil based cabinet paint. Overall I have sprayed 8 gallons of this paint on cabinets and trim and its good quality paint, sticks good but using a oil based primer makes a better finished product. Overall I will keep using it but I wouldn't recommend it for refinish a kitchen that gets a lot of use.

The process: Decide where to start. In total I have 25 doors, 7 drawers, the outsides of the boxes, several overhead railings, and 2 valences to paint, I made space to lay out and paint 7 doors at a time. Everything else can be painted in place. 7 am Removed the hinges and pulls and taped places I didn’t want paint. Washed 7 of the the doors, their boxes and 4 drawers with degreaser, wiped dry. Applied liquid sander, let it do its magic for 15 minutes, wiped with damp cloth, dried Sanded all lightly with 220 grit sandpaper, wiped with damp cloth, dried. I laid out the doors in my paint area and to make painting the sides easier I set 1” blocks ( rolls of tape or small boxes work) under the doors on my paint table. 8 am Using a sponge roller and a 1” paint brush I applied a thin coat of INSL-X cabinet coat, do NOT over paint. After 2 hours I flipped the doors over and painted the insides. I let dry a total of 6 hours, and tried to not panic because everything looked pretty streaky. I checked for drips and sanded lightly where necessary then wiped. 2 pm Repeated with a second thin coat of INSL-X cabinet coat to everything, after 2 hours flipped the doors over and painted the insides. Waited a total of 6 hours. The old laminate cabinets were now looking better but, now for the magic… 8 pm I applied a third coat! Next morning I Installed new handles, hung the doors and voilà a jaw dropping start to my new kitchen. I was able to complete 7 doors, 4 drawers and the boxes all in one day. I planned to use a protective Polycrylic high gloss coat but they look so darned good I decided to forego the gloss. INSL-X cabinet paint worked complete magic on my laminate cabinets. One gallon will be more then sufficient to paint all of my kitchen laminated surfaces. Highly recommend.

Needs usually 3 coats, but after you are finally done it is super durable and will not peel or crack. Have used it over poly coated wooden doors, trim, etc. Washable and durable finish if you put on enough coats. Smelly and expensive, but effective.

This product really did the job! Yes this was a long weekend project but with patience and time it was well worth it.. I'm very happy with the results. Our kitchen was custom made in 2002 and it was time for an upgrade.. Since we stripped the old polyurethane off with Krud Kutter and followed the directions on YouTube there was less mess to clean up. We did use the primer recommend and only needed 2 coats of the actual paint. Key is to get the cabinets clean. We had no tanning, there is a nice sheen and a smooth appearance to all of the cabinets. I purchased 2 cans of the paint for 31 cabinets and drawers and have not even finished the first can. The paint dryed very quickly, so spead thin and evenly. Too much caused running.
