Beyond Paint vs. Chalk Paint | The Shocking Results! | BEYOND PAINT APPLIED 4 WAYS.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 дек 2021
- I put BEYOND PAINT all-in-one paint applied FOUR WAYS (sprayed, brushed, 3/8" nap roller and foam roller) to the test against Waverly CHALK PAINT to determine...... IS BEYOND PAINT BETTER THAN CHALK PAINT? I wanted to determine if, based on how it was applied, there was a significant difference in the durability of BEYOND PAINT. Does one method scratch more easily? Is one more resistant to stains from food and drink? Which application method provides the smoothest surface?
I performed a variety of "scientific" tests so you can decide for yourself whether you want to paint that next piece of furniture with Chalk Paint for Beyond Paint.
Thanks for watching!

I'm so glad I came across this video. I just saw some video's with BEYOND PAINT and thought this would be great for redoing my tiny kitchen. After watching this, it has me rethinking my options. With 3 dogs and a man-child, I need something more durable than beyond paint. Thank you for taking the time to perform this experiment.
I refinished a dining room set and coffee table with Beyond paint. It is by far the best paint Ive ever used. I don't know what it is about chalk paint that people like.
i've used both and I prefer Beyond Paint. I painted a dark mahogany dresser with white Beyond paint. All I did was clean it with a TSP solution first. no sanding. It covered in 2 coats, no bleed through. I used a foam roller and had a nice smooth surface. I tried chalk paint on a similar piece and had red bleed through in just a few weeks.
Each piece of furniture is different. Unless you used both Beyond Paint and chalk paint on the same piece you cannot say that one worked better than the other. The color of paint you use, the prior finish, the type of wood, age, etc etc can affect bleed through. The piece you painted with chalk paint may have been pine with no finish left and of course you will get bleed though. That is why I did a side by side comparison on dresser drawers from the same dresser with the same prep so you can see a real side by side comparison of chalk paint vs beyond paint. I don't know about you, but I do not want to go to all the trouble of refinishing a piece of furniture only to have the finish "fail" It is my hope that my videos will help you be successful in refinishing furniture so they turn our great!
Thank you for this objective feedback. This is the reason why I hate when I see DIYers being ambassadors for products because they don't give an objective opinion on whether the product actually works.
I am glad that you found it helpful. I will always be objective and never review a product that I am paid to review.
A nice objective test and review. Everything I've seen so far with Beyond Paint is the need to apply it with a nap roller so the coat is thick enough to cover well. I assume that also provides much better ability to prevent scratching (as shown in your tests). I'm definitely going to give Beyond Paint a try when I re-finish my kitchen cabinets and plan to apply two coats and use their sealer to provide a better satin finish and some extra protection. The biggest selling point for me was the ability to use it and not have to perform major pre-prep or sanding before and after, saving a huge mess in my house. Tx!
BTW... I've painted a few types of paneling (pegboard, vintage 1970s stained real wood wall paneling, etc.) and IMHO the best water based primer I've ever used was Valspar Stainblocking Bonding Primer Extreme Adhesion. It sticks to anything and never seems to lift off, even when scratched hard.
Hi You will note that one of the tests was using a nap roller that is recommended by Beyond Paint company and still the chalk paint performed better. Thanks for watching!
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit Months on in my project to refinish my kitchen cabinets and I changed one thing... I put on a good primer first (Zinsser BIN Shellac based). I know Beyond claims to be a single coat solution, but nothing beats a quality primer especially when painting finished golden oak. It made the Beyond paint stick even better IMHO. Worth the extra step and my goal of having to not sand between coats remained intact. Came out well.
Amazing video, so informative and helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to test these and sharing the results!!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m so glad I found you!!! Thank you thank you thank you for this information!!!
I haven't been watching for a while. Thank you so much for this thorough testing and reviews. Moving on to your other testing videos. As always love your content.
Thanks for watching Tom!
Thank you for showing this testing. Appreciate it!!
My pleasure!
Thanks for all the information. I'm going to paint my cabinets as soon as it warms up. This has been a huge help!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Glad I found your channel, watched a few of your videos so far, excellent info!
Welcome aboard! I am so very glad you like them!
Since I do not plan to try scratching my cupboards with a pen cap (lol) I think using Beyond Paint is going to work just fine for me.,
Thanks Penny!
Excellent video! This is so in depth and helpful! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Patiently waiting for your test of all in one paints
Wonderful test results. Job well done
Thank you!
Great video! I am just getting into refinishing furniture and I love that I can learn so much from videos like this :)
I'm so glad! I started making my own all in one paint and have found that is makes flipping SO much easier. Watch my video: ruclips.net/video/EvSRhYohXnU/видео.html
in that video I have my diy all in one paint recipe that I have used very successfully. It is a lot cheaper than the commercially available all in one paint and works just as well (if not better than some of them!)
Did you perhaps remove your video? I clicked on your link but it says "private". Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thank you do much for doing and sharing this research!
I am glad that it is helpful. I know how much work goes into refinishing furniture and to have the paint fail would be a major problem- especially if you sell the furniture like I do. I do not want the new owners to have any problems in the future with the furniture that I refinished! I am currently testing other all in one brands and some of them are quite good- stay tuned for the video!
Fascinating stuff, and very useful. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for this. I have always used chalk paint sealed with wipe on oily with great success. I did use beyond paint for painting tiles in my bathroom with disastrous outcome! Even after 30 days it flecked off easily.
Kind of wish that you would've sealed the Beyond Paint w polyurethane to see how well it held up w addtl top coat. That would've been interesting
It’s an all-in-one product. The point of testing it is to see if it holds up the way it claims to hold up.
Very good information! Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for these very important videos.... Merry Christmas
Happy holidays! I am glad you like my videos!
Thank you for this information. Enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks for watching!
I came across your channel, while searching for good honest review of beyond paint 🎨!!! I’m so HAPPY 😀 I found you, there are many videos out there but, none were as truthful as YOU, just from looking at the paint and how incredibly thick it is, I imagine it wouldn’t come out smoothly!!!
And You my friend confirmed it for me thank you so much for your honesty!
I normally do lots of research before I pull the plug on a project! You have no idea how grateful 😊 I am God lead me to watch your video
Hi Tiny Kitchen, I am so glad that you found it helpful! I started making my own all-in-one paint. It is MUCH cheaper and when I did the same tests on it that I did in THIS video, it passed with flying colors. I am releasing a video today with my recipe for all in one paint. As a subscriber you will be notified. Thanks for watching!!!!

Glad it helped!
Thank you!
I am very upset at how your test was done. It makes me wonder about the validity of your past tests. I used Beyond Paint on my kitchen cabinets and couldn't be more thrilled. I did do a light sanding before painting because my cabinets were in pretty bad shape. I washed with what BP recommended - TWICE and rinsed. The only way that paint is coming off is with paint thinner. I tried to scratch the inside of the doors and NOTHING. Did make an indent in the wood but nothing came up/off. I painted with a brush and had a smooth shiny finish with a hint of the wood grain showing. They are beautiful.
your personal experience aside, what would you do differently to test those products instead?
@@kevin5224 I dont remember the actual video anymore. I watch so many. But as much as I recall I did not like any of the applications. Beyond paint says you dont have to sand but I did anyhow. I would sand before applying any paint. But I do not know exactly how I would redo those tests
I agree, her previous trial of BP was irritatingly,very oddly conducted- loading on the paint to a wildly-crazy degree, and then complaining about the ‘texture’? People aren’t stupid. Your experience sounds very rewarding and I’ll be trying it too.🌿
@@kevin5224 girlfriend in the video didn’t wait. The amount of time beyond pain says to wait to allow it to cure so that’s a great place to start.
not a reliable video horrible results. she is not good at painting. messy sloppy a d too much or not enough paint a d strokes not applied correctly.
I suppose if you have unruly and unsupervised children in the home, you would not want to use Beyond paint.
However, under normal circumstances, I would definitely use the Beyond Paint, following their instructions. In fact, I plan on using it in a few weeks to update an old Colonial style dresser and chest of drawers that’s in too good of condition to toss it out and spend ridiculous amounts of money to bring my bedroom up to date.
That’s great to hear ! If you have any before and after picture you’d like to share , we’d love to see them 😃
Very helpful, thanks.
Glad you found it helpful!
I cannot thank you enough for this information. I have second thoughts on what paint I was going to use.
Glad it was helpful!
Love this. I keep seeing Beyond Paint adds everywhere and there is no way I would ever pay that much money for paint. I painted my end tables White with Waverly and used polycrylic to seal them. Teenage boys over all the time who don’t use the coasters and they are holding up great. More expensive is not always better. I use white barn paint for all my exterior window frames and stuff. And just cans of rustoleum to spray and freshen up all my bright white pots, urns and chairs outside. It’s fast and cheap. Looks bright and clean
Thank you for sharing your experience
Krud cutter is actually used for clean up of small amounts of paint splatter up to 2 weeks after you’ve painted so it will take some of the paint off ,the chalk paint had the poly over it so it would naturally not show paint on the towel and also be more scuff resistant
The beyond paint is supposed to have the top coat sealer in it. It’s All-in-one. She let all the paint cure for 60 days before banging around on them and testing. The Boyond Paint is supposed to be fully cured in 30 days and she let it cure a whole extra month! People are just paying for a brand name, the paint is nothing special. They have done a great job marketing it
Thank you for actually WATCHING the video! Many people apparently comment and do not even bother to watch the entire video.
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit
Beyond Paint recommendations using Simple Green to clean the surface before painting. Perhaps following their recommendations would have given you better results.
Wow that’s amazing video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Thank you very much
Thanks 😊. But I also don’t think you followed beyond paints instructions starting with what you clean with before applying. But this was a great video glad I found it
You are right. Beyond paint instructions were not followed at all. I LOVE BEYONE PAINT. I did - however - do a light sanding on my kitchen cabinets before painting. But the only that that was getting that paint off those doors would be paint remover. I have not - but will - put a coat of verathane on them in a few weeks. This is the most upseting TEST I have ever seen.
The video actually started with her cleaning all of the surfaces as indicated buy the Beyond Paint instructions. Not sure which one you watched.
Very good thanks.
Thank you too!
I happened upon this video in a search for painting my old kitchen cabinets. Beyond Paint is supposed to cure for a month. Perhaps that is why it was rubbing off? I painted an entertainment center with BP and the durability got tougher as it cured. I have used and like both BP and chalk paint for furniture. Chalk paint looks awesome, but needs that top coat for sure! Thanks for the video.
I did let it cure for a month as stated in the video. Glad you found it helpful. Of course, it takes a lot more steps to finish a piece with chalk paint.
Doing my kitchen now. You have to know how to apply the Beyond Paint. I was skeptical at first also however with practice the air bubbles from the high density foam roller came out almost smooth as glass. Will update photos when done. Also I did a very light sanding to make sure it has good adhesion. Will do a scratch test after 30 days. Worse case you can put a urethane top coat after 30 days.
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
I am really glad that you do these product videos. It can save us a lot of time, money and disappointment. I'm looking forward to the stripper reveal. I saw where you used the three products on a project and said you would make a separate video with your findings. Can't wait! 🙂👍
Hi Holly. I am glad that you found this info helpful! I have always been kind of a geek and done tests like this for myself. I want to use products on my furniture that will make them durable for a long time. I try to be very objective. Unfortunately, most of the reviews on youtube are done by people being paid. I like to try new products and techniques. The stripper video is a good example. I made some assumptions about the stripper I had been using for awhile but when I actually compared it with 2 other strippers, I was shocked at the results. The video will be released next Tuesday. If you subscribe you will be the first to be notified. Thanks so much for watching and thanks for your support! Have a great weekend.
Project farm level video. Great! Thank You.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank YOu
You should be considered for sainthood. Thank you! Your testing has saved me time, energy and money! Godspeed.
What a surprising outcome! Thanks for doing this😊
Hi LIzza. I am glad it was helpful.
This is amazing information! Thank you so much! A family member swears by HTP, I’m not that impressed. So now I’m certainly NOT going to sink money into BP! I’m actually going to get some larger bottles of Waverly and try it out on a personal piece! Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful! I will always provide my honest review. I am currently doing a test of strippers and , once again, was surprised by the results. The video will be posted in the next few days.
Really informative!! Do you have any information regarding gel stain over old kitchen cabinets?
There is info from the manufacturers about doing just that. Although I have never done it. Go go the General Finishes website for a LOT of great info. They make high quality stains,paint and finishes.
May you please elaborate which Krud Kutter was used? Pre-paint or original red coloured bottle?
Thank you so much for this because i know as being a painter for 30 yrs, trying to get away without sanding or scuffing up a finish for adhesion should not be done, it should at least be scuffed up before paint is applied. But ya know as a new paint i thought well maybe it might actually work, thank goodness i didn't go out and buy it, i will be looking at the chalk paint. I was just looking for ideas on my kitchen reno job in my house, so you have saved me alot of money.
Thanks for this video,,,,,
Most welcome! Glad you liked it!!!! Happy Holidays Dodd!
Thank you! I was thinking of getting some of the Beyond Paint, but this has made me totally change my mind. It's expensive paint and if it doesn't hold up well, it's a waste of money.
Hi Sue. I was totally shocked when I did the adhesive test and the paint came off!!!! I had done the same text on 13 different chalk paints and only saw a tiny bit of lift off. That was a total game changer for me... and then when it came off with the Krud Kutter! well..... case closed.
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfitlollipop
If you put a coat of polyurethane over it it will be much more durable
@@rehanasammy5558 she did not let it cure!! this is a lie!!!
Thanks for your hard work and unbiased opinion.
Just quick questions for chalk paint.
Light or soft sanding would help?
And white color paint would prevent bleed thru same as dark paint?
Using stain blocking primer would help prevent bleed thru?
Thanks
I notice no answer so... I always use a shellac based primer, and a little scuff sanding before that. Certainly clean all this up with a degreaser, like krudcutter, or even dawn. Use Killz ORIGINAL, or the Zerginnzers (never the latex based), however that is spelled. This way, you will NEVER get bleed through, and your paint will STICK and NEVER have bleed through. Personally I always use varathane clear waterbased sealer, any sheen you want.
A few very small extra steps that don't take long to do and not expensive, but you will have miles of peace of mind, this paint job will outlast YOU!
Thanks for the video! Honestly, I painted my kitchen cabinets over 5 years ago with a homemade chalk paint, and they're still holding up great. They can keep this overpriced "miracle" paint!
Love this review videos so inflatable...
merry Christmas And Happy New Year ..🌟⛄🎄🥰👍❣️.
Happy holidays!

Did you mark the review of multiple one step paints? Can’t wait to see it but can’t find it in your lineup.
Very scientific, accurate. Thanks for the effort you used in preparing this report. Very helpful!
What did the company say about your results? That would be interesting to see.
Love your video! I bought two tall dressers from Marketplace that I wish to paint for my daughters. Based on the results from this video, I will use waverly paint with primer and polyurethane. However, I didn’t see you sand in this video. I saw in other some waverly print videos showing that there’s no need to prime or sand. Is it necessary to sand down the drawers when using waverly since I am trying to avoid? If sanding is necessary, what type of sand paper do I need? Thanks
I just watched it again. You said you sand after you apply the primer and in between each chalk paint layer with 220 or above to smooth out the paint brush stroke. Do you sand or need to the furniture before adding the primer? What’s the difference between the polyurethane or waverly clear wax? What about the synthetic bristle brush or waverly brushes? Thanks
Hi Rita. Since you are using primer, you really do not have to sand it UNLESS the wood that you are painting over is rough. In other words, the paint primer and poly will not make the final finish smooth if it is not smooth to begin with. That being said, You do not have to sand the entire dresser. Just sand the part that is not smooth. Waverly is very very thick! The way to get a smooth finish with it it to either thin it with a little water and/or spray it with water as you paint it on. If you feel the brush begin to drag then spray it with water until the brush glides smoothly over the surface. That is what I love about chalk paint. It goes on so smooth and covers very well BUT you have to thin it with water. You may have to give it a couple of coats of paint to get an opaque surface. I like zibra brushes or the "best" ones from Harbor Freight. I use a car washing sponge cut is segments to apply the water base polyurethane and I always apply 4-6 coats of poly of the top and 2-3 on the sides. I did not sand in this video because beyond paint says you do not have to so to compare the 2 paints evenly, I did not sand with the waverly chalk paint. I hope this is helpful. Feel free to write another comment with any further ? ( I do not see your comments to a comment so you should start a new comment) Best of luck! YOU can do it!!! take you time and be very OCD about it all. There are lots of videos on you tube showing you how to paint with chalk paint.
I do not recommend using waverly wax because then you will have to reapply it every 6 months. Who in the world has time to do that! I have all my bills automatically deducted from my checking account because I don't remember to pay them (and they send reminders!) My dresser is certainly not going to send me a reminder that it is time to wax it again! LOL! Polyurethane is an excellent long lasting maintenance free finish! That is what I recommend you use.
I have become a subscriber of your channel thank you
Thanks for subbing! YEAH!!!!
Hi, is your comparison video out which compares and tests all the all-in-one paints? I didnt see it. As someone who plans to paint a dresser for the first time, which brand out of the all-in-one's would you recommend to get a smoother finish? I saw that a foam roller produced a smoother finish on your tests. Would a 1/4" nap be better than a 3/8 nap for smoother finish?
Thanks for any reply
I probably will not do the video showing the all in one paint comparisons. If you look at the videos on my channels, the ones that are the most popular are the restoration videos. The ones with the product comparisons fall flat. HOWEVER, I will tell you that the all in one paint that I use is my DIY recipe. When I tested them it was just as good as the commercially available one and significantly cheaper!!!! I have used it many times. The key to successful DIY all in one paint is to use high quality paint as the base. Do not use bargain brand paint. Even if I spend $30 a gallon I still save a LOT of money since 1 qt of the commercial all in one is over $35 a quart. The recipe is on my blog- here is the link: www.furnitureflipping4profit.com/post/diy-all-in-one-paint-recipe
I was thinking about trying Beyond Paint on a Formica counter. Would chalk paint work? I make my own chalk paint by adding calcium carbonate and a little talc. I have used it with great results on furniture, but never on Formica. Great video!!
Thanks for watching. I would have to research an appropriate paint for a counter top. I know there are some out there. Personally, what ever you choose should be tested first (not on the final counter top!) Allow it to cure per the manufacturer instructions and then do the scratch test, etc. I would hate to go through all the trouble of redoing the counter tops only to have them scratch off! Test first.
If the all in one paint is like the all in one paint that I use, you’re meant to use a deglosser first, brush on thick, then use a dry sponge roller to remove brush strokes. Technique is important
Hi Evon. I did degloss the wood prior to applying Beyond Paint and the Chalk Paint. The significant thing about Beyond Paint in this video is the fact that regardless of how you apply it, it is NOT durable.
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit ah wow. We’ll that’s good to know. I use Heirloom Traditions, and have had great results with it. There was a learning curve but I love it.
Thank you for your video, I know it takes a lot of work!
@@evonchristie2549 I have used heirloom traditions and like it also. If you apply it as suggested by the manufacturer it closely resembles a sprayed finish.
Did you ever use fine bristled camel hair brushes
Do l need to do 2 or 3 coat
Chalk paint looks great🥇 $125 for a gallon seems expensive?
Hi We know we’re not the cheapest on the market, but with the amount of time and work saved by using our All-in-One paint along with the amazing quality and results, we truly believe it’s a great investment 😃
Actually not surprised.
Thanks for watching. I made my own all -in-one paint that works very well!! I use oops paint so it is very inexpensive. The recipe is in this video: ruclips.net/video/EvSRhYohXnU/видео.html
Did you let the Beyond Paint cure for 30 days before you started testing it? Did you degrease it before you painted it? I didn't see that. Thank you!
uhhh did you even watch the video? weird to comment on this when she clearly answers both of your questions.
Beyond paint says... to give the piece multiple days to cure, up to a month, depending. So the real test would be best after two weeks.
How much beyond paint do you need for a 36 in. Vanity on 2 sid
Hello! A quart should do 😃
The bottom line is that people have their favorites
Boy you really don’t like the popularity of Beyond Paint. This is the second video I’ve seen you do with Beyond Paint.
Hi Sampson. I was giving it another try with this video because I had so many people tell me that they had success with applying it using a foam roller. If you watched the video, you would have seen that I applied it a variety of ways and yes indeed it was much smoother. However, when I tested it for durability, I was shocked at the results. I would love to be able to use this on my furniture flips because one step beats 3 steps! However, I want the furniture I sell to stand up to normal wear and tear and it is apparent based on my testing that it is not as durable a chalk paint with a sealer applied.
What about proper cure time.. cure time between different paint will matter with a scatch test
I have been thinking about buying this paint, now I am not. Thanks for helping!
Glad I could help!
Why to you say oil primer and hold the 123 one? The 123 one is water base? I’m confused.
Hi Natalie- perhaps I used the wrong image but the 123 spray primer is use is oil primer. Here is the link to what I purchase at HD by the case thd.co/3qbWpB3
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit here in Canada 123 plus is water based… confusing!
I wouldn’t give a dime for chalk paint. I buy a good paint and do my preparation before hand. When I’m done I done, I don’t have to wax or put a sealer on it. Last forever.
High build prime, sand repeat 4 times up to 200 microns. Sand 1200 paper....tac and paint this will get rid of the texture of the wood....use Acid cat paint tough durable paint easily sprayed on for a flat even finish with no texture.
Thanks for watching
We hope sanding Oak with 1200 grit works out. It will be.
I know you let the BP cure for 60 days but what is the humidity like where you let it sit to cure? I have read elsewhere that BP is very sensitive to humidity and that if it's at all humid it won't cure no matter how long it sits.
It was kept in an air conditioned work room with the temperature set at 76 degrees. The ac keeps the humidity down.
I dont care what the can says, IMO, you need either mechanical adhesion or chemical adhesion for things to stick together correctly. That means in this case, mechanical, or sanding. It needs something to "bite" to the surface. Chemical adhesion means a product has a certain time frame to recoat to chemically bond to whatever it is being applied to.. If that time window expired, you then need to sand. Sanding would mean scuffing the glossed surface. A scotchbite pad would even work. I would never do any kind of painting without good prep work, no matter what the claims on the can. Theres too much work involved to get something done right, with zero shortcuts. Unless you like to gamble.
I agree 100% Terry. That is one of the reasons I do not personally like Beyond Paint. If I am going to go to the trouble of painting a piece, I want it to last and from this test, if you use Beyond Paint, it will not last. When I paint furniture, I always clean it well and then scuff sand it and then apply an oil base primer to prevent bleed through.
Know when to hold em and know when to fold em. The person or company who came up with "no prep" as a sales pitch is somebody I want to play Poker with..
Very helpful. No beyond paint.
Glad it was helpful!
Wood grain is in now!
You will notice my most recent videos are about staining not painting furniture. I agree that wood grain is coming back and i am doing my part!
I can only warn you to buy from Beyond Paint. The product can be great if it works, but the paint is very temperature sensitive and curdles like sour milk. Instead of sending me an immediate replacement like they promised, they were unresponsive and lied about the shipping. NEVER AGAIN!
Thank you for sharing!
Can I use beyond paint on ikea kitchen cabinets? Anyone knows?
Yes you can. Just be certain to prep it properly and put a sealer on it after you paint them
Well… respect for TRYING to do good review/comparison BUT way to applying oil based primer that I saw in this video tells me A LOT about painter
🤔So you like Chalk Paint better, I'm thinking?!
It depends on the piece. I prefer my recipe for diy all in one paint BUT if I am painting a piece white then I like chalk paint. White chalk paint covers better than my diy all in one paint.
Well thank god that we aren't purposely running pens and razor blades across our cabinets and furniture. This has to be the worst test I have seen to date
I think beyond would be ok for something like bedroom furniture but maybe not so much for the kitchen. Lol. It might be fun to play with as a diluted tint sort of thing tho.
Thanks for watching!
They sell in small sample cans for $8 = if you hace doubts order one of them.
Beyond Paint is supposed to take 30 days to cure!! Before running your tests did you wait 30 days?
Yes indeed I did. I mentioned this fact in the video. Thanks for watching!
She waited 60
Now i aam confused as to which one to use..i thought that the chalk was the way to go...then i thought the 3 in 1 was the best....now maybe i should just leave it to the experts and pay more
But a test $8 jar and test Beyond Paint. You will be amazed. I scuff sanded my kitchen cabinets because they were in such bad shape - but the only the final paint will come off is with paint thinner - not scratches
If you had sanded between coats, even though the can says you don't have to, would you have achieved a smoother finish?
I do not think it would have mattered.
Beyond Paint is terrible. I painted a bedroom set and followed all directions. The paint chips constantly I will have to redo the bedroom set again with another paint
Thank you for sharing you experience.
beyond paint recommends you don't use a brush
Exactly, so why would she even go there. 🤷♀️
She used all methods including rollers and spray.
Any generic waterbourne paint would have made this a blind test.Black generally in housepaints uses carbon black as the main pigment. A better choice of nap to achieve a smooth finish especially when two coats are on the schedule would be a 1/4'" nap. Brushing with a generic brush leaves questions the main being what was the actual bristle material and most importantly was this a flag tip brush. Like brushes, foam sleeves come in many configurations, of percentages of closed and open cells. One method which works to the applicators advantage is to slightly dampen the application tool with the solvent or vehicle in the actual paint. In this instance a small amount of water. It looks as if too much pressure was being applied to the foam sleeve and frame assembly and the sleeve was not turning completely about the axis and was skidding skidding What shoud be recognized when applying waterbourne materials they are thixotropic and are designed to "dry" quickly. Curing is in the realm of physical chemistry and unlike evaporatives and alkyds. This being said the application process and techniques are not always the same for every paint or coating. The most obvious applicating method over a smooth clean and slighly abraded surface that is parallel to the floor was the use of the HVLP spray gun. (High Volume Low Pressure) The type here that was used uses a squirrel cage turbine for the volume of air as well as the low pressure. One factor should be noted. This type HVLP's air source generates heat. One should compensate for this by applying the acrylic type paints of the thixotropic a/o the evarporativs ie lacquers, shellacs and automotive acrylics by spraying smaller areas. The general rule of thumb would be an area the size of a two car garage door.
Thank you for your very informative comment.
