I used white and used an electric sprayer purchased from Amazon and it worked great,
This paint has been discontinued since this video. Did you use the new Valspar Cabinet AND Furniture Enamel that replaced it? Because it’s great paint. I have a video on it, as well.
I used it in a dark green & it was amazing! Used a foam roller, no streaks, dried quickly…couldn’t be happier!
I’m so glad you had a great experience! Maybe it works better with darker colors!
Great review Dori! I haven’t tackled a big painting project yet!! But will definitely consider this one when the time comes🤞🏾
Thanks so much Anita!
Bought this same paint today for my bathroom cabinets. Was highly recommended by the paint guy!
It definitely gets mixed reviews, hope you have a great experience with it!
I’m using a black color and I’m on my 7th coat! At this point I’m stripping down my piece and starting over with something else!
Ugh!! That’s SO frustrating!
I don’t believe they sell the ‘cabinet’ paint any more I’ve worked there since 2020 and I’ve only seen the Furniture & cabinet paint and that stuff is amazing. In my experience. Also a couple years ago Sherwin Williams bought valspar, I’m curious if they revamped valspar cabinet paint ? Hmmm
Yes, they discontinued the cabinet enamel and combined it with their furniture paint into one product. I have a review on it, too. It’s excellent paint!
The Valspar cabinet paint is great.Every surface that I have painted with the cabinet paint came out absolutely perfect. I’m constantly wiping down furniture and it holds up well even with drinks on it no coasters.
What color did you get it in?
This Full Life 5 ( ebony field) semigloss It’s a darker gray
@@weareone7523 I've heard darker colors do better with this paint! I'm glad it turned out well for you!
Just used the valspar cabinet paint on an old kitchen that had a dark stain and varnish finish. Customer wanted white cabinet color with a satin sheen. Prepped the cabinets by degreasing all wood frames and sanding the frames with 100 grit sand paper. Primed with Bin-bullseye shellac. (2coats) then 2 coats of the valspar white satin. Had 2 oz. Of white added to each gallon for better coverage. Customer loves the results. Replaced old doors, drawer fronts with shaker style. Kitchen looks great.
Today I shot this paint through a gravity-fed HVLP spray gun and the result looks nice! Did not primer just a light scuff with P400.
Ooh good to know! Thanks! Glad it turned out good for you!!
Did you use a primer when you used the cabinet and you paint on your cabinets?
Yes, you definitely want to use a primer! I love Valspar's High-Hiding Primer, but whatever primer you choose, I recommend having them tint it in the color you choose for your cabinets!
I'm meant, when you used the new valspar cabinet and furniture paint.
Oh I’m sorry! No I didn’t use a primer with that paint!
I had to do 4 coats of Valspar to paint a cabinet. I primed with UMA XIM, which is top of the line primer. Still had to do 4 coats of Valspar and it stays sticky forever. Even after drying in an air conditioned house, 3 months later, it is still sticky. I'll not buy Valspar again.
Wow! Your experience sounds like mine. I've used some of their paint and been happy with it, but not the cabinet enamel.
Same. I used this cabinet enamel and after my experience I would not try another valspar product.
A brush for cabinets is no good. And also depends on what brush you use and it might be a good idea to use a liquid applicator to extends dry time .
I’ve used a brush many times on cabinets with great results. I’ve found it’s both a high quality brush and high quality paint in combination with a correctly prepped surface that matters on the finish.
Ours covered the cabinets well but it chips so bad. We barely touch it and it flakes off even though we primed too.
That is so frustrating!
I did an entire kitchen with the cabinet enamel paint (navy blue on the lower cabinets, tinted white on the top) and it came out fine. However, I sanded the the cabinets down to bare wood because they were in very rough shape. Some spots still had the old finish, but there didn’t seem to be any issues there. It should be mentioned that the cabinets were a medium to light tan to begin with, so nothing super dark. BUT, as a rule, if you’re trying to go from dark to light or light to dark you ALWAYS do at least one primer coat. Reason being, you can get pretty close to covering the original color with the primer, and only do a couple coats of your final color instead of half a dozen. Although on kitchen cabinets, you do want a fairly thick finish, so doing 3-5 coats isn’t a bad idea.
I love the cabinet paint! I used it for two bathroom vanities 2 years ago and it held up really well. I send a cheap foam brush and roller and did not use a primer. Cabinet was white and I used a medium grey.
I’m so glad you had a great experience! I have heard that darker colors do better with this paint.
Agreed! This paint is not good. I spraying it with Wagner flexibility 3000 over wood cabinets. I sand prepped and painting and this paint did not cover well. 5 coats and now I have to get another paint with primer in it with a guarantee cover. I will not use this cabinet paint again.
Wow! That is so frustrating!
Wow, this sounds like my experience except we used rollers and purdy fine brushes. Crazy to hear even the sprayer could not make this paint work!
Try spraying it
Thank you for the suggestion!!
Great video! I subscribed!!
Thank you so much!
The can does say that product MUST BE TINTED - so you can't expect a good result using it as the base white ... I already bought this paint before I saw this review, so I'm hoping to have good results (tinted dark grey)
I’ve talked to people who’ve had it tinted and still ended up with the same results I had. Hope it works out for you.
I used this on a kitchen cabinet in a dark merlot color. After sand priming and multiple coats and waiting the required dry time it is chalky. They call it BLOCKING. This product should cry out LOUDLY ABOUT DRY TIMES. Very disappointed and time consuming. Primer and 5 coats. Plus it is blotchy in corners. Bad stuff.
Agree, it wasn’t good. They’re updated Cabinet and Furniture Enamel in one is a much better product!
@@DoriTurnerInteriors But far as I know this IS the newest version (feb 23). Almost a month now and still chalky. Im going to try to topcoat it with clear.
How did the top coat go? I have a black and merlot kindof distressed look and right now my merlpt color is chalky, I hope it dries more and the chalky goes away or after 30 days I'm going to use a topcoat also.
@@janemonroe289 top coat did the trick. no more chalk.
@@RAINMAN-ep3pt Thanks, what top coat did you use? I need something tough that I can set water glasses on and spilled food doesn't hurt it. That's why I got this paint. Thanks for your help!
I am using this paint right now and it is just horrible. I have actually been shocked at how bad it has been. It’s thin, runny but also clumps at the same time. The texture it ends up laying in looks like cheap trash no matter what you try. Maybe a sprayer would help? We sanded, used tsp and primed. The coverage was horrendous and we were covering just some pale-colored basic wood cabinet doors and facings. I got frustrated too. I have done millions of diy projects rehabbing homes and this was the most frustrated I have ever gotten with a product. Also the “semi-gloss” is wet-shiny looking and looks like a full gloss. I am leery of buying any valspar brand after my experience with this paint.
So frustrating! I agree, I’ve done a lot of DIY-ing and this paint takes the cake on being the worst!
Tip - NO "waterbase" PAINT is going to seal "bleeding" stains well , I don't care what the can says .... serious stains require serious stain sealing primers like Kilz Oil or BIN .... Period ..... Milder stains can be sealed off with a quality water based primer , and I don't care what the can says , on enamel trim doors cabs where you want durable finish over a glossy surface , prime ..... IF you scuff well the paint will probably stick pretty well , but I'd still prime it for long lasting durability "just to be sure" ... clean scuff prime paint ..... no shortcuts in that process
Great advice, thanks!
They did say if you are going to use a brush or roller, it should be foam. I don't know if that's why you were getting those streaks
Yes, I did finally use a foam roller and it worked! I think you’re right!
beautiful presentation , 2 like
I had a terrible experience as well! Irritating
I’m sorry to hear that! That’s so frustrating!
I wished I watched this before I bought this
Oh man! I’m sorry! Bad experience, too?
Yes I hope I can return it
I think its not the paint thats bad. I think you are just lazy for not priming. Everyone knows you have to prime.
If you had watched all the way through you would’ve seen I used it on a primed door with the same results. Have a nice day.
