Upcycling Cupboard Paint - Deep Blue Gulf - 750ml

I wanted to update my kitchen. Nothing wrong with my cupboards so I decided to paint. Paint was great- easy to apply, no odour and went on smoothly. I used a brush and roller.I did prep the cupboards first as advised.

Easy to paint with a brush or roller. I was just doing kitchen cupboard fronts, so I masked off the edges with ScotchBlue tape and rollered it with a 4" foam roller. No drips if you keep it thin. When wet, the grey looked a bit yellowish, but it did dry to a nice neutral light grey. A couple of months on it still looks great and seems tough and durable. No problem if I have to repaint, as I bought 3 tins and used only 1! That was rollering 19 flat cupboard door fronts and 5 drawers, plus a large wooden box - 3 coats each. Painting with a brush would have used more paint. Washes out in water.

I purchased this paint for my kitchen door renovation, despite it stating that no undercoat is required, I still used undercoat. To obtain a nice finish, I used two coats as this got an acceptable finish using a good quality brush. The tin does appear to be rather small, but it is as stated 750ml. the paint is quite thick but covers quite well, I will have to wait and see whether there will be enough for my 9 doors and 4 draws - but as its well priced, buying another tin will not be an issue. So far, I am pleased with the end result, I will have to wait and see how the durability is though.

My cabinets where looking tired so I decided to paint them , I eventually settled for this paint for 2 reasons first it had the colour I was looking for and second it was a really good price compared to others , I can honestly say I was absolutely pleased with the outcome , I'd never painted cabinets before so I followed the advice given on the tin , first coat I was very apprehensive as to how it would turn out , but when I put the second coat imo they look brilliant , a total transformation , I bought 2 tins but barely used any of the 2nd tin , it spreads really well , paint quality is excellent , I used a small brush & a small roller , coverage is really good , i can heartily recommend this product 👍

I used "antique cream" on kitchen cupboard doors, which had been a white-ish colour to start with. So far have only done one coat, but might do another. I will see how it settles. I have used half a 750ml tin and painted 11 standard-size kitchen cupboard doors. The paint goes on really easily, but the longer you use it the thicker it seems to be to spread, but still good. I put it on thinly because any runs are very unforgiving and really stand out. It took me a couple of hours, it does not smell, and dries really quickly. I am really pleased with the result. I always find Johnstone's paint good, and would definitely recommend this

Not used yet but this paint is excellent

Lovely colour. Smell not too strong. Smooth texture. Drys quick. Great for price. Will buy another too touch up. Adhesion to kitchen cupboards Great.

I wanted to update and freshen up my 1980s wardrobes without the cost of replacing them, it was a long drawn out job, from other reviews and what it said on the tin I thought it would take 3 coats of paint but that was not the case, to get full coverage and an even colour i had to do 7/8 coats of paint (I started to regret my decision at about 5 coats in as you can imagine) , I used a roller as the brush didn't give a good finish and it caused drips in the paint, yes it has freshen them up so I did get the end result I was aiming for but even with that amount of coats of paint re-hanging the doors did cause a few chips and scrapes in the paint which I had to touch up so I wouldnt like to say how long it will look nice for which considering the hours and hours of work i put into the project is disheartening but it was a gamble painting them that it wouldn't be a long term answer, I hoped it would be more durable as the paint is designed specifically for cupboard doors. I haven't tried cleaning it yet so I don't know how it will withstand being cleaned, time will tell. I was happy with the end colour, the more coats I did the more depth of colour I got as it looked more white to begin with and not cream, it took almost 4 tins of paint. I have posted before and after pictures so you can make your own decision on whether you think it's worth all the hard work!
