Hi Nikki, That is a good tip if the cabinets are older. These were fairly new and the doors & hardware in exactly the same place. Also, when you paint, you're painting over the place where the numbers are written so It works well to number the drop cloth where each door will sit. Thanks for sharing!
Nikki Malia you are so right! Most people are looking to paint older cabinets anyways, and on HGTV they said number the cabinets just like you said and put the numbers on tape where the hinges go and you won’t paint over them!
STUNNING!!!! Your video is great!!! You explain things so simply!!! I was going to use another brand kit BUT I will be ordering from Amazon!!!! And NO sanding unlike all the other videos I have watched!!!! Thank You!!!! DEB :)
Thanks for the video. I'm painting my cabinets this weekend with the Beyond paint and I'm really happy how well you have provided the info. You done a great job
I will be tackling this project around Jan or Feb, I have been researching for the last 6 months. I purchased a new home and there are old Old Cabinets in a dark honey color, I want to give the cabinets a somewhat light distressed look. I have ordered a sample size of Off White/Bone color and will lightly distress so the dark shows through slightly. My nephew just gifted me their old Cabinet Hardware, which I love and wanted to purchase the exact style and discovered they were over my budget and now I have the exact style I wanted, I only will need to spray paint them to the color I want to match my decor!
You may want to use a razer blade to go along the edge of blue tape that is closest to the painted surface espically if the paint has dried. It helps remove the tape without pulling off chips of paint.
Thanks for sharing. That’s a good tip when you leave the tape on too long and let the paint dry. If you al always remove it at a 45 degree angle what the paint is dry to the touch you’ll get the best sharp lines.
Great video. I'm tackling the same project, I like the tack brush for the corners. I would suggest a better drill like a impact driver, essential when pulling screws from the cabinets. I suggest Milwalkee or ryobi since you already have one.
Reba McEntire that is you right? ... girl you sure know how to make cabinets look... fancy😉😉😉 Can't get the blues with your work! ... ok enough positive Reba music references, NICE AND FAB WORK!!!
I am thinking of repairing my old decrepit kitchen cupboards with Beyond Paint so thanks for this great tutorial! Is the sealer necessary? It claims it is primer, paint, and sealer in one.
How do you know how much paint to use? I know with this paint, you wouldn't use much. Did it take a full gallon of the paint? Or was the amount in the kit enough for it?
I gave them 24 hours but keep in mind that all paint needs time to cure and harden, at least 1-2 weeks before it reaches it's hardest point. Hope that helps!
Did you use Beyond paint in flat or semi gloss or does it only come in one type? If only one type, do the cabinets look flat or have a little Sheen? I always think cabinets should have a little sheen to look more professional....just my opinion.
That's a good question and thanks for watching! These were oak cabinets and they turned out fine. The paint levels enough to fill and hide the grain so you should be OK.
You keep alternating between dabbing and brushing. Beyond paint advises just dabbing with the brush and rolling over it. Beyond paint advises against using TSP to clean the cabinets
Yes I know and if you read my post on my blog or even watched the video you'll hear me say that Simple Green is the cleaner of choice for Beyond Paints. Thanks so much for watching my video!
DO NOT apply any water based product directly to raw wood or MDF .... Must seal it with oil based primer first .... water raises grain on raw wood and MDF , you will get a very rough surface
I painted our built in desks with pewter beyond paint. They look amazing! We waited 24 hours before carefully screwing on the new hardware. My husband scratched the paint off without even knowing he touched it. I took my nail and slid it across an area that would not be seen and well......just like that, it scratched completely off. I of course cleaned them first. Is there anything I can do to make this work, especially since they are all done? Should I seal them? (Though I was informed I didn't need to.) I am wrecked over this. It was expensive and time consuming. I am anxious to think that I may have to scrape all of it off, sand and try something else.
I can imagine how frustrating that is. Two thoughts come to mind. The first is 24 hours is NOT enough time for the paint to fully cure. All paints truly need a lot more time. A week or at least several days. They will continue to harden over time. Second is the cleaning process. If they weren't 100% deglossed everywhere it will be hard for the paint to attach. Did you use Simple Green? It's the best deglosser- It literally ruins a finish which is perfect to prep for paint. Really though, I think your issue is just time. Give the desk more time to finish curing. I don't think you need a sealer by the way. I didn't seal my bathroom cabinets and they have been fine. Good luck!
Hi there ! Sorry for the confusion ! Using TSP will leave an undesirable Phosphate residue on your surface unless it is rinsed very well. We prefer to use Simple Green or something similar unless your project is greasy and needs the big guns! Hope this helps!!
Absolutely love your video thank you so much for helping me get started I'm painting my kitchen cabinets With beyond paint... You taught me so much🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
So I see places say to sand cabinets before painting them. Why didn't you sand these? Is this an unnecessary step, our cabinets have a dark finish and we want to repaint them. Thanks for your help
Hi Brett, There are a few reasons to sand, one is to smooth out the surface and the other is to create a surface that the new paint can adhere to. The surface was fine and didn't need smoothing out, and by degreasing and deglossing the cabinets with TSP OR Simple Green (I prefer Simple Green now) the surface is clean, degreased and deglossed sufficiently to grip the paint. Just be very thorough in your cleaning/deglossing step and you won't have any trouble. My cabinets were painted 3 years ago and still look fine!! Good Luck. Also see more tips in my blog post here -> bit.ly/2l6kbO1
Need a video of a close up with light reflecting. From 5 feet away in poor light, I could use a t-shirt to spread paint and it would look nice and smooth.
I painted my bathroom vanity the grey and I love it I’m painting my other bathroom vanity with the white and I’m going to paint the countertop too and use the flecks
Will this work with laminate/thermafoil cabinets? Also with two of my cabinets, the laminate is peeling off by significant amounts what should I do with these cabinets?
Yes, it will but I'd use a high grit (180-220) sandpaper to thoroughly prep the surface first. On the ones where the thermal coating is peeling, if you can't glue them back down, take a hairdryer and heat them up and peel off the rest of the coating before painting. It won't be as smooth as the coated ones. We did this in another project where they were peeling too.
Thanks for your prompt reply. Another question, the paint has texture to it as I've read so does that mean it doesn't finish with a smooth feel or look? TIA
Question..I thought semi gloss is best for high traffic area. It's easier to clean verses matte finish. I'm curious because I want to paint my kitchen cabinets and countertops. Plus, the inserts in my kitchen cabinets are formica idk why the pervious owner did that. I guess they really like the countertops. I'm just want a durable easy clean paint. Thanks!
Read lots of reviews, watch vids. I have discovered that it cures in 30 to 60 days, maybe even longer. Some people have stated that on cabinet such as kitchen or bathroom it's not useful because it will chip around the knobs. Even 45 to 60 days out. Just saying cause it's expensive and not something you wanna do twice. 😁😁
Definitely do not use this for kitchen cabinets. It chips even after 60 days. Now I’m in a middle of a nightmare halfway through. I don’t know whether to strip this paint off and redo what I have already done
All a person should have to do for the high traffic areas is either use a sealer after using Beyond paint, or just lay it on extra thick around the knobs. At the end of the day no kitchen cabinets are safe around the pulls or the handles
I read the comments on Amazon about the paint and they are not so nice. Maybe they did something wrong and blame the product. I want to paint my cabinetts in my RV. Would you recommend it? Greetings from Portugal and thank you for your video!
Hi Anders, that's a very good question. I can't speak to what others have experienced. Unfortunately yes, the paint will get the blame even when the piece wasn't prepped properly by the painter. In my experience, that is most often the case. User error. Kitchen cabinets especially have to be clean of all dirt and grease or there's nothing for the paint to adhere to. I've used Beyond Paints on several projects and it's held up beautifully. Good luck with your painting project!
Another thing to note it that Amazon often has people selling products that look like the real thing but the product inside is different and that may be why there are such negative reviews. This is very common with skin care products, make up and clothes
@@WendiWachtelH2OBungalow i saw another video that didnt turn out well, but she used so much paint the roller was sliding. i think thinner coats like you did might be a big difference.
The roller brush lasted for several more projects after painting thee cabinets. If you wash it well without letting paint dry on it, it should be fine for any size project. I hope that helps!
It hasn't chipped at all in this kitchen and it's been about a year and a half since I painted the cabinets. The most important step to preventing chipping is to be sure the cabinets are properly prepped and cleaned really well to remove any grease that could have built up from cooking and use. Hope that helps!
That's a good question! Nope, it's not needed with this paint at all. The paint is formulated to skip that process. It's a time saver! Thanks for your note!
Yes it does. I painted a set of laminate cabinets a few months after doing this video. I'd scuff them up a bit with sandpaper, like 220 grit and be sure to clean them thoroughly before painting. Give the paint plenty of time to cure and you'll be fine!
Yes and I talk about that in my post. It's been a while since I made this video, I do now use Simple Green for all my painting projects It's definitely the better choice.
Hi there ! Sorry for the confusion ! Using TSP will leave an undesirable Phosphate residue on your surface unless it is rinsed very well. We prefer to use Simple Green or something similar unless your project is greasy and needs the big guns! Hope this helps!
Hi, that's a good question. It's thicker than most paints and when it goes on, kind of self levels with a slightly textured feel. You can't see any texture in the paint finish though. I hope that answered your question!
I don't use them paint pyramids, I used them when I was staining mahogany wood counter top the next day I noticed put deep pitts into the wood was disaster..What works good is couple of 2x2 blocks they lay flat no pitts having to worry about..
Hi The cabinets you see in the video is what I painted. I used one and a half quart jars of the paint for this project. If you go to my blog post h2obungalow.com/step-by-step-guide-how-to-paint-kitchen-cabinets/ you'll get more information. It's a great paint!
We might be late to the party but a quart does 10-12 cabinet fronts and face frames (50sq ft) with 2 coats and a gallon does 40-48 cabinet fronts and face frames (200sq ft) with 2 coats for future projects!
Is this like Milk paint? Also am I understanding that no sanding is needed? I was planning on buying milk paint as it has great reviews for Kitchen cabinets and needs no sanding etc. Will be checking out Beyond paint, hopefully I can find it. :) TIA
Hi Janice, I used Soft Gray from beyond Paint. You'll fin a lot more information in my post on my blog, here's a link-bit.ly/2l6kbO1. Have fun with your project!
You don’t need to strip the old paint unless it’s caked on heavily and/or you won’t get a good finish. That’s just a step in prepping that is sometimes needed as I mentioned if the current paint is in bad shape. Priming is needed if you’re painting latex over oil or the other way around or if your wood has tannins that will bleed through the new paint color. - what you do need to do - especially in kitchens is clean thoroughly to get all the grease and built up dirt off so the new paint has a good surface to adhere to- hope that helps.
@@Stryyder1 Not true, Traditionally yes. But not with this product. Just prep well by being very thorough and and paint. I'm looking at 3+ years of my painted cabinets as I type this and they look fabulous.
JC RB did you use the product. Let me know please how it turned out because I’m very skeptical that this paint is gone last without proper preparation before painting.
Yes, it is very durable. You'll want to let the paint cure, which means fully harden. That takes a few weeks. So be gentle with the freshly painted cabinets at first.
@@johntaewilliams8445I used it on my bathroom vanity about 2 months ago and it looks like new no chipping or flaking I’m doing my other bathroom vanity today this paint is worth the money for bathroom vanities not sure about kitchen bc they get a lot more use
Hi there ! Sorry for the confusion ! Using TSP will leave an undesirable Phosphate residue on your surface unless it is rinsed very well. We prefer to use Simple Green or something similar unless your project is greasy and needs the big guns! Hope this helps!
This paint did not work for my oak cabinets. Oak has a lot of tannins and beyond paint did not cover. After 2 coats I gave up and returned the product to the store.
Beyond Paint says to use an oil based primer for tannins or MDF. BP is a water based paint so you’ll need an oil based primer for it not to bleed through because of the oils in the wood. As for the MDF, it could swell if it’s not sealed prior to using the Beyond Paint.
That's a great question ! The paint is very thick. If it doesn't look like it's separated it doesn't need it. Otherwise, stir it if it looks like it's separated.
Hi that;'s a good question. I'd recommend using a self sealing paint. You can find Beyond paints online though through Amazon. Here's a link (my affiliate link) amzn.to/2Svw4MX Good luck!
You recommend using TSP? Beyond Paint absolutely DOES NOT recommend TSP. This is from the FAQ section on their website: Using TSP will leave an undesirable Phosphate residue on your surface unless it is rinsed very well. We prefer to use Simple Green or something similar unless your project is really greasy and needs the big guns!
I do mention that Beyond Paint recommends Simple Green in the video and on my blog post. They prefer Simple Green because it doesn't leave a residue behind :)
But they specifically say to rinse it really well and you don't do that in the video. For someone like me that doesn't know what the business end of a paintbrush looks like it is not helpful at all to merely have it mentioned. Your video is a tutorial on how to do something...how is it helpful if you do not do what the manufacturer suggests? I'm not trying to be difficult, but I could have made a right mess of things if all I did was depend on you to teach me correctly.
I understand your confusion. I personally have used TSP with excellent results for the past several years which is why I used it on my cabinet project. My cabinets looks great and have lasted just fine and so has the 100+ other furniture makeover projects I've used it on including other cabinet BP projects. I typically water it down and have never rinsed it. They asked me to add the Simple Green tag because that is what they like to recommend, it doesn't mean that other cleaning methods or products won't work. I'd recommend you use what the paint company suggests on their packaging. Good luck with your project!
Those paint pyramids suck, they never stay in place. Sliding around, you have to hold the cabinet door so it doesnt slip off., and get paint all over your hands.
H2OBungalow Home Decor & Home Improvement I just refinished 9, fat, honey oak window seats and window sills. I TSP cleaned, gel stripped, sanded, primed, paint x 2 coats, sealed with clear Polycrylic X 3 coats. They literally sparkle - gorgeous. I’ll bet they last a whole lot longer and look great long after yours need another face lift.
“Self texturizing” don’t you mean “self leveling” and if you’ve got Vaseline on your hands and you’re touching the cabinets then it’s going to get on the cabinets which will cause them to resist the paint 🙄
Those are good questions, so let me clarify for you. That's actually not true. I don't use Vaseline, I use hand lotion which soaks into my skin and prevents the paint from sticking to it. It's a well known painters method. Second, the paint is self-texturizing. It has special properties that make it slightly textured and eliminates the brush strokes.
H2OBungalow Home Decor & Home Improvement H2OBungalow Home Decor & Home Improvement Thank you for your response, I think I got confused when you said Vaseline or lotion but you had a jar of Vaseline in the video, I use lotion on my hands as well, great tip! The “self texturizing” and “no brush marks” in the same sentence still has me confused, as per Merriam-Webster, when it come to paint the definition of “self texturizing” is as follows: “a paint of heavy consistency and coarse grain consisting usually of gypsum and sand with water-thinned binder and used for creating a rough patterned effect on a wall.” Are you saying that the paint leaves a textured finish to hide the brush marks? Thank you.
I appreciate your tenacity. :) It was actually a container of Aquaphor hand cream in the video. I'm sure the developers of the paint didn't read the terminology of self-texturizing when they developed the paint. Either way, it's a great paint and I loved the results and still do since it's been almost a year and half since I painted the cabinets with the paint.
Yucky because it was a rental? Stereotype statement, I travel and often rent, I clean before moving in and when moving out I'm told by all landlords I left the place immaculate. I wipe all cabinets down weekly and as needed, clean all windows and glass monthly and as needed, sweep daily, mop weekly and as needed...point being blanket statements can be incorrect.
Hi there. I think you misunderstood. This is a vacation rental and was always a vacation rental. It came furnished and a mess. The prior owners were not as meticulous as I am about keeping the property up. That's what I do. Find old homes, remodel/update and turn them into vacation rentals. I'm sure you're a great tenant :)
Well... pretty much the same thing you’d do with anything. Change it. The cool thing about kitchens is basic colors like this are classic. They’ll be fine for a long time.
Strange right way would be very expensive in equipment. Conversion varnish, prep,fans,skin and air protection,experience lol. Seems like putting lipstick on pig using water base paint.
I don't understand what you've written other than you think using water base paint isn't a good idea. This is a fabulous product and after a year of use it's still looks good and has held up well.
I used the Nantucket color ,in the beyond paint, on on kitchen cabinets in a rental. Love it so much that I'm going to do my kitchen to.
Love it !!!
Thanks for your suggestion, and help.
Handy tip not mentioned. Is to number you doors and drawers before you remove them, so you can put them back in the correct order easier.
Hi Nikki, That is a good tip if the cabinets are older. These were fairly new and the doors & hardware in exactly the same place. Also, when you paint, you're painting over the place where the numbers are written so It works well to number the drop cloth where each door will sit. Thanks for sharing!
You can also mark inside hardware hole and put a piece of tape over and remove after spraying
That's a good tip for recessed hardware!

I am thinking of repairing my old decrepit kitchen cupboards with Beyond Paint so thanks for this great tutorial! Is the sealer necessary? It claims it is primer, paint, and sealer in one.
Hello, thank you. How long did you let your cabinet dry after using degreaser?
Not more than 20 minutes. Remember you are just cleaning the surface so you don't have to over spray to clean it with a good degreaser product.
How do you know how much paint to use? I know with this paint, you wouldn't use much. Did it take a full gallon of the paint? Or was the amount in the kit enough for it?
I did my large kitchen cabinets, outsides only and only used half a gallon
amzn.to/2MOlz8Y Please re-visit the blog and the paint amount should be there. Good luck!
How long did you let the sealer dry before hanging the doors?
I gave them 24 hours but keep in mind that all paint needs time to cure and harden, at least 1-2 weeks before it reaches it's hardest point. Hope that helps!
Do you think a primer is necessary before painting?
Not with Beyond Paint! Just make sure your surface is degreased with Simple Green!
Did you use Beyond paint in flat or semi gloss or does it only come in one type? If only one type, do the cabinets look flat or have a little Sheen? I always think cabinets should have a little sheen to look more professional....just my opinion.
Will the wood grain show through if you are painting oak cabinets? Would a thin coat of wood filler make sense? Nice video
That's a good question and thanks for watching! These were oak cabinets and they turned out fine. The paint levels enough to fill and hide the grain so you should be OK.
The 3/8 nap will leave a orange peel look.
@@michaelsimpson3095I think this paint self levels. I would test on scrap wood to see

It hasn't chipped at all in this kitchen and it's been about a year and a half since I painted the cabinets. The most important step to preventing chipping is to be sure the cabinets are properly prepped and cleaned really well to remove any grease that could have built up from cooking and use. Hope that helps!
That's a good question! Nope, it's not needed with this paint at all. The paint is formulated to skip that process. It's a time saver! Thanks for your note!
That's the beauty of Beyond Paint!
Did you not have to sand any cabinets at all?
That's my reason for putting this project off.
Does this go for laminate cabinets too? Great job!
Yes it does. I painted a set of laminate cabinets a few months after doing this video. I'd scuff them up a bit with sandpaper, like 220 grit and be sure to clean them thoroughly before painting. Give the paint plenty of time to cure and you'll be fine!
How to make this paint thin what you use
Because I am using air gun
I believe I saw something about using a sprayer on the manufacture website.
Can this be painted over if I don’t care for the color?
Of course it can!
The can specifically States don't use TSP or soap....??????
Yes and I talk about that in my post. It's been a while since I made this video, I do now use Simple Green for all my painting projects It's definitely the better choice.
Hi there ! Sorry for the confusion ! Using TSP will leave an undesirable Phosphate residue on your surface unless it is rinsed very well. We prefer to use Simple Green or something similar unless your project is greasy and needs the big guns! Hope this helps!
Is the sealer clear? Is it shiney?
No, it's mat. Thanks for watching!
Would you suggest painting the hinges as well? So they match your hardware?
I would say let your hinges stand out, upgrade and get new ones if the old ones dont pop, do not paint unless its a rental and you just dont care. :)
What does "self texturizing" mean?
Hi, that's a good question. It's thicker than most paints and when it goes on, kind of self levels with a slightly textured feel. You can't see any texture in the paint finish though. I hope that answered your question!
@@WendiWachtelH2OBungalow Its not like a popcorn-y texture is it? Id prefer something smooth. Thanks
I don't use them paint pyramids, I used them when I was staining mahogany wood counter top the next day I noticed put deep pitts into the wood was disaster..What works good is couple of 2x2 blocks they lay flat no pitts having to worry about..
That's a great tip! Plus, they are way cheaper than buying paint pyramids. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
I used cans of cat food lol
@@bellscanyonsurvivor5519 Hey, whatever works!
@@WendiWachtelH2OBungalow Another way to do it would be to place the pyramids on the front unpainted side first, and paint the back side first.
Can you please tell me how big is the kitchen and how much paint did you use?
Hi The cabinets you see in the video is what I painted. I used one and a half quart jars of the paint for this project. If you go to my blog post h2obungalow.com/step-by-step-guide-how-to-paint-kitchen-cabinets/ you'll get more information. It's a great paint!
We might be late to the party but a quart does 10-12 cabinet fronts and face frames (50sq ft) with 2 coats and a gallon does 40-48 cabinet fronts and face frames (200sq ft) with 2 coats for future projects!
Is this like Milk paint? Also am I understanding that no sanding is needed? I was planning on buying milk paint as it has great reviews for Kitchen cabinets and needs no sanding etc. Will be checking out Beyond paint, hopefully I can find it. :) TIA
No sanding??
Nope, no sanding needed. Just be sure you clean the wood extra well so the paint can adhere to the cabinets.
Hi. What are the yellow little things you use to paint ? Yellow plots ? Where can I buy them ? Thank you
Hi, they are called paint pyramids and they are awesome! Here my aff link to find them amzn.to/2h2oUB1
Can you tell me what color you used?
Hi Janice, I used Soft Gray from beyond Paint. You'll fin a lot more information in my post on my blog, here's a link-bit.ly/2l6kbO1. Have fun with your project!
I really like it. Looks like antique grey or something.
Hi Ztech Thank you! The color I used is Soft Gray from Beyond Paint. Here's my (affiliate) link to find it bit.ly/2l6kbO1

Thank you!
You're welcome!
do they sale a silver paint?
You'd need to to check and see what colors they sell now.
According to the Beyond Paint website, they have metallics now. (9/2021)
We do ! We have a metallic silver 😃
has anyone tried a mohair roller with this product
I wouldn't use anything BUT what the manufacturer recommends. I just finished my kitchen countertops with Beyond Paint and next are the cabinets.
Hi there! We only recommend using a 3/8 inch microfiber roller for the best results . Hope this helps!
I thought we have to strip off the old existing paint, then sand, prime and then paint. Anyone please advice
You don’t need to strip the old paint unless it’s caked on heavily and/or you won’t get a good finish. That’s just a step in prepping that is sometimes needed as I mentioned if the current paint is in bad shape. Priming is needed if you’re painting latex over oil or the other way around or if your wood has tannins that will bleed through the new paint color. - what you do need to do - especially in kitchens is clean thoroughly to get all the grease and built up dirt off so the new paint has a good surface to adhere to-
hope that helps.
@@Stryyder1 Not true, Traditionally yes. But not with this product. Just prep well by being very thorough and and paint. I'm looking at 3+ years of my painted cabinets as I type this and they look fabulous.
H2OBungalow Home Decor & Home Improvement Thanks for the update. I’m considering using the product now.
JC RB did you use the product. Let me know please how it turned out because I’m very skeptical that this paint is gone last without proper preparation before painting.
@@Stryyder1 Not true with this product. Degrease well, scuff a little if ypu like but priming isn't needed.
Hello Maam, Is this durable on the cabinet like how a wall paint stays??
Yes, it is very durable. You'll want to let the paint cure, which means fully harden. That takes a few weeks. So be gentle with the freshly painted cabinets at first.
Thanks a lot ma'am. I live in India, I don't get a this paint product . Can you suggest me what kind of print, I might have to choose
I think you can still look for in on Amazon. It's not a paint you'd find in stores. I share a link in the video description above. Good luck!
Can I wax the cabinets instead of sealer
You could but I wouldn't do this for kitchen cabinets.
Is it safe if you have kids in the house or dose it have a strong smell
It's perfectly fine, no bad odors
All of the negative reviews I’ve read mentioned flaking. Has that been your experience and if not, what do you think they did wrong
@@WendiWachtelH2OBungalow no bad odors? that stuff is hella strong when you apply it
@@johntaewilliams8445I used it on my bathroom vanity about 2 months ago and it looks like new no chipping or flaking I’m doing my other bathroom vanity today this paint is worth the money for bathroom vanities not sure about kitchen bc they get a lot more use
Hi there! Our paint is eco friendly, non toxic, and low VOC. There is minimal to no odor when using our paint. Hope this helps!
The directions say not to use a TSP.
Hi there ! Sorry for the confusion ! Using TSP will leave an undesirable Phosphate residue on your surface unless it is rinsed very well. We prefer to use Simple Green or something similar unless your project is greasy and needs the big guns! Hope this helps!
Did you use the Off-White or White color paint?
Oh nevermind, by the end it looks like you used the light grey.
Thanks, I'm glad you solved it!
This paint did not work for my oak cabinets. Oak has a lot of tannins and beyond paint did not cover. After 2 coats I gave up and returned the product to the store.
Beyond Paint says to use an oil based primer for tannins or MDF. BP is a water based paint so you’ll need an oil based primer for it not to bleed through because of the oils in the wood. As for the MDF, it could swell if it’s not sealed prior to using the Beyond Paint.
What is MDF?
@@paganrosejunkiemedium density particle board
@@sleepingbeautyisnotwokeZinnser shellac based primer may work. Cleans up with denatured alcohol or ammonia.
What happened to sanding and priming
It's not needed with this paint, unless of course the cabinet surfaces are in rough shape. Otherwise, clean thoroughly and paint.
@@WendiWachtelH2OBungalow thanks darling x
No one mentions if the paint needs to be stirred
That's a great question ! The paint is very thick. If it doesn't look like it's separated it doesn't need it. Otherwise, stir it if it looks like it's separated.
What is the equivalent if you do not have a beyond paint is I live in Canada and I’ve never seen it here
Hi that;'s a good question. I'd recommend using a self sealing paint. You can find Beyond paints online though through Amazon. Here's a link (my affiliate link) amzn.to/2Svw4MX Good luck!
Go to a good paint store
What color you used?
I used the grey. They only have one shade of it. I also share what color in my post and video
You recommend using TSP? Beyond Paint absolutely DOES NOT recommend TSP. This is from the FAQ section on their website:
Using TSP will leave an undesirable Phosphate residue on your surface unless it is rinsed very well. We prefer to use Simple Green or something similar unless your project is really greasy and needs the big guns!
I do mention that Beyond Paint recommends Simple Green in the video and on my blog post. They prefer Simple Green because it doesn't leave a residue behind :)
But they specifically say to rinse it really well and you don't do that in the video. For someone like me that doesn't know what the business end of a paintbrush looks like it is not helpful at all to merely have it mentioned. Your video is a tutorial on how to do something...how is it helpful if you do not do what the manufacturer suggests? I'm not trying to be difficult, but I could have made a right mess of things if all I did was depend on you to teach me correctly.
I understand your confusion. I personally have used TSP with excellent results for the past several years which is why I used it on my cabinet project. My cabinets looks great and have lasted just fine and so has the 100+ other furniture makeover projects I've used it on including other cabinet BP projects. I typically water it down and have never rinsed it. They asked me to add the Simple Green tag because that is what they like to recommend, it doesn't mean that other cleaning methods or products won't work. I'd recommend you use what the paint company suggests on their packaging. Good luck with your project!
Thanks very much...good lesson for me to research. I was counting on how to videos would be more geared towards beginners.
Do you ladies know that they put TSP in General Mills cereal ie: Cheerios!!!! Please check your cereal boxes and you will see!!
Don't use a 3/8" nap. It looks like garbage. Use a foam roller
You should use the roller that comes in the kit. It's made for this paint and is self leveling.
@@WendiWachtelH2OBungalow ok
You look like Reba McEntire.
Haha! Thank you! I've heard that before although it's been a while :).
Those paint pyramids suck, they never stay in place. Sliding around, you have to hold the cabinet door so it doesnt slip off., and get paint all over your hands.
They work great for me! I use them all the time.
How much money are you pending?
The kits are $49 and come with a special roller and tray. I used 1 kit, it depends on how big your kitchen is.
I'll give that paint a try
Great! I think you'll like it!
I have used it. It is great. Does work best on unpainted furniture.
idk if thats yu breathing or the camera man, but it sounds really unhealthy. You are really good by the way!
Thanks! I'm not sure what you mean by the heavy breathing but glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
Do you think someone will sue you if their hands dry out for a few hours or they get a speck of dust in their eyes?
I don't think so. Especially since I recommend using safety gear.
No sanding? No priming? I would never do kitchen cabinets without sanding and a coat of oil-based primer.
That’s the point of this product. It doesn’t need either. Proper deglossing and cleaning is all most paints need anyway.
H2OBungalow Home Decor & Home Improvement
I just refinished 9, fat, honey oak window seats and window sills. I TSP cleaned, gel stripped, sanded, primed, paint x 2 coats, sealed with clear Polycrylic X 3 coats. They literally sparkle - gorgeous. I’ll bet they last a whole lot longer and look great long after yours need another face lift.
hot👍
“Self texturizing” don’t you mean “self leveling” and if you’ve got Vaseline on your hands and you’re touching the cabinets then it’s going to get on the cabinets which will cause them to resist the paint 🙄
Those are good questions, so let me clarify for you. That's actually not true. I don't use Vaseline, I use hand lotion which soaks into my skin and prevents the paint from sticking to it. It's a well known painters method. Second, the paint is self-texturizing. It has special properties that make it slightly textured and eliminates the brush strokes.
H2OBungalow Home Decor & Home Improvement H2OBungalow Home Decor & Home Improvement Thank you for your response, I think I got confused when you said Vaseline or lotion but you had a jar of Vaseline in the video, I use lotion on my hands as well, great tip! The “self texturizing” and “no brush marks” in the same sentence still has me confused, as per Merriam-Webster, when it come to paint the definition of “self texturizing” is as follows: “a paint of heavy consistency and coarse grain consisting usually of gypsum and sand with water-thinned binder and used for creating a rough patterned effect on a wall.” Are you saying that the paint leaves a textured finish to hide the brush marks? Thank you.
I appreciate your tenacity. :) It was actually a container of Aquaphor hand cream in the video. I'm sure the developers of the paint didn't read the terminology of self-texturizing when they developed the paint. Either way, it's a great paint and I loved the results and still do since it's been almost a year and half since I painted the cabinets with the paint.
H2OBungalow Home Decor & Home Improvement I was asking for clarification actually, so is this a self leveling paint?
Yes, it is. There will be no brush marks when applied as directed with the manufacturers directions.
Yucky because it was a rental? Stereotype statement, I travel and often rent, I clean before moving in and when moving out I'm told by all landlords I left the place immaculate. I wipe all cabinets down weekly and as needed, clean all windows and glass monthly and as needed, sweep daily, mop weekly and as needed...point being blanket statements can be incorrect.
Hi there. I think you misunderstood. This is a vacation rental and was always a vacation rental. It came furnished and a mess. The prior owners were not as meticulous as I am about keeping the property up. That's what I do. Find old homes, remodel/update and turn them into vacation rentals. I'm sure you're a great tenant :)
What happened when the white color cabinets go out of style, and became old fashion.
Well... pretty much the same thing you’d do with anything. Change it. The cool thing about kitchens is basic colors like this are classic. They’ll be fine for a long time.
White cabinets have been around for as long as white paint has been around...hundreds of years.
Strange right way would be very expensive in equipment. Conversion varnish, prep,fans,skin and air protection,experience lol. Seems like putting lipstick on pig using water base paint.
I don't understand what you've written other than you think using water base paint isn't a good idea. This is a fabulous product and after a year of use it's still looks good and has held up well.
Wake up latex has come long way and is just as good as oil based paints today
WHOT DIP STICK PUTS A MIC/WAVE OVER A COOKER ???????????????????
Well... it was there when we bought the house. I can't believe you haven't seen this before, it's pretty standard in kitchens.
Half the houses in America dipstick.
It's very common. The microwave shares the same vent outlet as the "cooker".
Yeah mine is the same exact way. Don't get me wrong, I actually don't like it. It makes the microwave handle hot as hell while the oven is on
Who spells “what” as “whot”?
Erm....I think ill take my advise from professionals rather than some woman that obviously has no idea what she's doing
Great, you should do that! As a beginner, I thin you can learn from everyone. I am by no means a beginner in painting. :) Enjoy your search!
Don’t ever do this
Hi I don't see why not, these cabinets looked great and 2 years later still look great.
A women? you shouldn't be touching you mans tools he will get mad.
Men are busy playing dress up and calling themselves women so actual women got no choice but do your jobs
