- What Is The Best Cabinet Paint Part II
Who has the best cabinet paint? Great question. I choose these seven leading brands to find out.
Ben Moore Command
Ben Moore Aura can be used to determine what is the best kitchen cabinet paint.
Paint can of Ben Moore Advance Semi-gloss.
C2 Cabinet and Trim Paint to determine what is the best kitchen cabinet paint
Determining Who Has The Best Kitchen Cabinet Paint
In part I video of “What Is The Best Kitchen Cabinet Paint” I applied:
Ben Moore Command Satin
Ben Moore Aura Satin
C2 Satin Finish
Ben Moore Advance Satin
Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Gloss Finish
PPG UltraLast Satin
PPG BreakThrough Satin
In addition to the different topcoats, I also allied with different primers. On one side of the cabinet door was an oil primer, and on the other, Bin Shellac Primer.
After curing for 28 days, I wiped on Crisco oil on both sides of the cabinet. On the 10th week, I added olive oil to both sides.
For a detailed breakdown of product failure after 13 weeks, please see the video.
Paints that started failing after 13 weeks include:
Ben Moore Aura (oil side only)
SW Emerald Urethane (both oil and shellac side)
PPG BreakThrough (oil side only)
C2 Satin finish (with no hardener (oil side only)
Footnote: Each side of the cabinet has one square that remained primed only. I want to see if oils affected the primers.
Paint samples are applied on this kitchen cabinet door to determine what is the best kitchen cabinet paint
24 hours was given between each of the two topcoats.
After 4 months of having Criso Oil and olive oil smeared on both sides of the kitchen cabinets, I applied the following stains to the shellac primer side only:
Mustard
Catsup
Crayon
Wine
Coffee
Pencil
various stains on a kitchen cabinet door
these stains sat for 24 hours before being cleaned
Surprising Results!
I was expecting all the paints to handle the cleaner with little negative effects. I anticipated the stains being fully removed and left with a clean oil-free surface.
The light industrial cleaners were sprayed on sat on the flat cabinet door for roughly one-two minutes. The cleaner was the same I have used for all my other tests, which are:
Krud Kutter
Spray Nine
Bleach and Water
Simple Green
After the first application of cleaning, all of the paints had mustard stains (Tumeric) remaining.
When determining who has the best kitchen cabinet paint, mustard stains are the hardest to get off.
Mustard has turmeric in it, which is a potent stain.
The Second Application of Cleaner Told A Different Story
I applied the second application of light industrial cleaners heavier than the first. A second challenge for the paint was that it was still dealing with the effects of the first patch of chemicals. In other words, some of the paint was beginning to soften up, and now it is time for round 2.
Moreover, because the cabinet was laid flat, the chemicals could stand on top of the paint. If the cabinet door were hung, the cleaners would roll off and not collect. It is fair to say that these cleaning products acted as paint strippers.
What Kitchen Cabinet Paints Did I Test and Why?

Who Has The Best Kitchen Cabinet Paint After 4 Months?
Though several of the paints proved to be very durable, Ben Moore Command could handle any situation. Ben Moore Command is a very unusual paint.
For example, it dries in just 15-30 minutes and can be recoated in 1 hour. However, just because it dries fast, it still self-levels like cabinet paint. In addition to being used on cabinet paint, it can be used for metal surfaces and concrete floors where forklifts drive. Ben Moore Command is genuinely a unique paint.

Other cabinet paints that I would strongly recommend would include:
C2 with Hardener (most durable against oils)
PPG UltraLast (best coverage, very durable)
Advance (excellent cabinet paint, but it requires 16 hours between coats)
Soon, I will be testing other paints for kitchen cabinets that include:
SW ProClassic Oil and Acrylic paint
SW Emerald Satin Finish
Fine Paints of Europe Eco Gloss
PPG Advantage 900
Beat videos that answer every question I have thank you! You are a god send ❤
Happy to help!
I like emerald urethane iam just
Started on the use of galley paint by Sherman Williams works nice.
WOW, love your videos. When you have question about paint, ask a painter! I'm paining 50 year old plywood kitchen cabinets. They have been painted no idea how many coats. Wanted your thoughts should I try to remove ALL of the old paint or just a good sanding? Think I'm going with the Ben Moore Command since I watched your video. What Shellac primers would you suggest? Zinsser BIN? Also best of luck with franchising your company.
Forgot to add, the PPG had wear issues 2-3 years later on cabinets, the Grahams Ceramic lasted about 8 years before wear was noticed. We primed everything with Bin. Best adhesion primer.
Thanks for the info!! I’m about to paint my smaller kitchen (about 12 cabinets and 4 drawers) and want to use Command! I do not have a sprayer so I’m nervous about the application! Would you suggest a brush or roller for the larger areas and the big pieces surrounding fridge?! If roller what type?! Thanks!!
C2 with hardener around $100 a us gallon in my area .. might as well buy FPE.. Command sprays great brush & roll sucks. Advance in pastel colors very good dark colors good luck takes FOREVER to dry. We have used them all including S-W Emerald semi and satin. Great reviews keep um coming really pisses off the losers….
Very good video! Have you tested Beyond paint all-in-one from Home Depot (especially against oil) ? Thanks for the attention
Sherwin-williams Kem Aqua Plus... Give it a whirl!
You ever try Sherwin Williams Deco Prime under Dunn Edwards Aristoshield? Been a great combo for me...
Really surprised at the sw urethane. It’s easier to work with because of the quicker dry and hardening times… guess I know why now. I use the advanced a lot, just worried about the 28 day harden time and the fact you can’t do 3 coats in a day(well maybe a long work day lol) But I think it’s worth it. Some customers just don’t want to wait that long. 🤷♂️
I did not see the "wipe off" when he used bleach and water and on the flip side, I don't think SW was represented. I watched twice but I could have still missed it. BM-A seemed to have the same amount of mustard. I am quite happy with the durabilty of PPG
I’d like to know if you can use an extender (like Floetrol) with Command in order to be able to brush it?
Could you do a review on lacquer based cabinet finishes? I understand Lenmar by Benjamin Moore is supposed to be really good.
Thanks for doing this comparison. Great info. Which primer would you go with for BM Command? You said it held up well with both, but any preference? Thanks again.
Shellac primers are the best. They have the smoothest finish and grab the best. Also, they dry in minutes!! They do smell.
please review/test Beyond Paint All in One paint for cabinets. Thank you
I wished I watched this a few weeks ago, we bought a new fiberglass front door that I painted and wife picked a sherwin williams color so i decided to go with Emerald urethane as reviews i read said it dries to hard and easy to clean surface plus only had 4 hour recoat rather than 16 hr recoat time with my normal go to BM Advance. BIG MISTAKE this SW paint is awful! Yes it applied really nice, leveled out (i sprayed it) beautifully but and BIG BUT it scratches so easy and doesn't like to be wiped clean. I sanded near the door so the dust went on the navy blue door that I wanted wipe off, I was wiping dust off lock when my finger nail barely touched paint left a scratch that i had touch up (2 days after painting) then there were some smudges from install that i soaked a paper towel with just water, it left a mark where i lightly wiped door clean that needed touch up. Should have used my usual Advance, have sprayed several cabinets/vanities/etc.with it and that leaves a rock hard easy to clean surface. Looks like at some point in near future I will be repainting door with Advance.
Benjamin Moore Scuff X should be tested. That's become our favorite cabinet and trim paint. Breakthrough has always been trash, I never use the stuff.
Scuff x has been giving problems over the last few months but it’s a great cabinet coating system
We had terrible issues with Scuff-X micro bubbling. Its marketed for commercial, school, and hospital environments and thus not intended for fine finish applications.
When you can try out Cabinet Coat. Side note i paint for a living and somehting you need to watch for is the base of the paint. For example some paint is an ultra deep base color(black, neon brite etc) will lose hardness. Sherwin makes something called Multi Surface Acrylic. Its an industrial coating so you wont see it on the shelf. Its made so that 2hite all the way to pure black is just as hard and scuff resistant. The paints that win here could be vastly different if you want a darker set of cabinets so please keep that in mind. Any 1 has any questions feel free to ask.
Yes exactly! I tried advance in a dark blue and it was horrible. It never hardened and scratched so easily with my finger. Expensive paint and I had to strip it all off
@@wb4072 Sorry for late reply. Just saw this. Normally we use something called Multi Master from Cloverdale. Its super durable. Also Renaissance is super nice from them as well. Multi master is Cloverdale's version of BM command. Except I get it at half the cost. Nothing against BM but they overcharge for products in my opinion. For example Aura is 100 a gallon my price. Dulux Diamond is 40. Cloverdale Ecologic matte is 35. IMO all are as good as Aura.
You can use peroxide as a substitute for bleach to remove stains. Same results but less surface damage.
Yes, any type of degreaser is what I thought I said. Your correct bleach is not necessary.
What about the BEYOND PAINT??? I am really interested in that.
Wonderful video. Thank you. I am in the process of deciding of I am going to hire out or paint my dental office laminate cabinets myself. I would really like to do all I can to get another 8-10 yrs. It's a tall wish but Go for the Gold - I say. SOOO I had thought I would go with Primer: Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond Primer. OR Zinsser 00904 B-I-N Pigmented Shellac Primer-Sealer & Stain Killer, ANY PREFERENCE HERE?? I am testing them.
Then for the paint, I just need white. I was leaning, until I saw your video, towards PPG as #1, SW ProClassic Waterborne Interior Acrylic Enamel by Sherwin Williams as #2, the painter I am letting bid the job uses SW Emerald Urethane Enamel. I see below a shot out for something called Grahams Ceramic??
I would really appreciate you help. My business needs this and with loans, it's kind of tough so I'd like t get as many years out of it as possible. GRATEFULLY YOURS
Shellac primer all the way. I don't have a brand preference.
Have you got a chance to try the new SW Gallery?
Hi, love your informative videos. I'm about to spray my kitchen cabinets so I researching for the most durable paint and I have a question about the video you did 5 months ago with the emerald urethane which you gave great ratings on but in this video you were not too crazy about it. Now I was sold and about to use it so what changed in this test? I was about to pick up laquer this evening but now I'm confused. Please help. Thanks.
Great question! Emerald paint does very well against most stains but oils is not one of them. Oils from fingers are easily and often transferred to kitchen cabinets. Emerald did well against cleaning stains off but did not hold up to the oils.
The best paints that I tested are Command, Advance, and Ultralast.
What are your thoughts on using a laquer from Mohawk compared to the advance please?
@@JOEYSC03 Lacquers will be number one for quality smooth finish. However, the cabinets cannot be painted in a home which makes them a very expensive option.
Lacquer is very flammable. It is illegal to spray it in homes and dries to fast to be brushed or sprayed.
What is your opinion on placing a clearcoat like General Finish or equivalent top clearcoat for added durability?
That works. We did that for a few years before we found cabinet paints that did not need that step.
I have used breakthrough and it’s a pretty awesome paint but obviously not the best. Spraying it dries in 3-5 minutes on a warm day
Yes, it is very similar to Ben Moore Command
I see you did a SW Satin review. Would you say that it is a good buy? I'm looking to paint my kitchen cabinets but I want a durable finish. I do have access to Benjamin Moore as well as Pittsburg Paints.
Curious to know too 👍🏻
What is the name of the hardener. This was extremely helpful.
Hi George, thanks for the kind words. The hardener is by C2, which can be bought where ever C2 paint is sold. If you would like more product reviews and tips and tricks I invite you to Subscribe. I just but out a new video of Emerald Urethane Satin finish and it graded much better than Emerald Saeni-gloss.
Add the Valspar cabinet paint to you list.
How would you compare Scuff-x to Command or Advanced for Kitchen Cabinets???
That's going to be my next test. Stay tuned or subscribe so you don't miss it. Great question.
any thoughts on BEHR premium cabinet and trim enamel ?
Yeah I'd love to see a review of that Behr Cabinet Enamel. I went to PPG store today to get UltraLast , but it was out of stock and the guy couldn't tell me when it's gonna restock.
Any issues with a advance when tinted for very dark colors?
No. I have had problems with SW Emerald Urethane
You should try the BM Cabinet Coat modified urathane and primer.
It sucks. I have used it a bunch. It damages easily. Dark base colors have no chance IMO
@@Akaya3511 What do you think of Benjamin Moore's Advance paint then?
Hi! Curious if you have an opinion on Dunn Edwards Aristoshield Ben Moore Cabinet Coat?
Hi Tess, Dunn Edwards is a CA paint that does not make it over to the East Coast. I've never used it. It is not a Ben Moore product.
Hi Tess, for more similar paint product reviews please subscribe and you will stay up on the latest and greatest. Thanks!!
Problem with Command!!! It micro bubbles when you roll it, tried 10 different mohair and microfiber covers... doesn't matter. Tried adding extender, paint thinner and butyl cellosolve...still bubbles. I love everything about this paint except these micro bubbles make it a deal breaker for hand applying. Stuff sprays like glass. Use Behr urethane to hand apply, no bubbles.
Is aura sufficient for cabinets?
It would be okay, but it not a cabinet paint. A better choice would be Command or Advance by BM.
What oil based primer did you use?
Zinsor oil primer
Scoff-X would be an interesting comp
Yes my new favorite trim, door, and cabinet paint
@@miladbehbahani5848 better than Advance because of durability? Workability? Is it easier to brush?
@@Avital4414 in my personal opinion yes. Advance can be finicky to apply other than spraying. It has the nice finish look like advance. Dries much faster than advance. And truly scuff resistant. I love how scuffx feels after cured.
It holds up better in my opinion as well
@@miladbehbahani5848 I think I oversanded some trim, and now grain and scratches are showing through the freshly primed (Fresh Start) and painted (Scuff-X) surface. If I re-primed, this time using BIN shellac primer, would that likely hide the scratches and grain?
With Command do you need to do anything between coats? Thank you~
lightly sand and remove dust
What version of breakthrough was used in this study? 50 is supposed to be really good 51 not so much, and the new 52 is supposed to be awesome also
I believe it was 51.
The v50 would have had results closer to command than the v51
Cabinet Coat?
Look into Scuff-x BM.
I did a review of Scuff X in April 2022. Its great paint. ruclips.net/video/8Bxr4OYx9Nw/видео.html
You're comparing trim paint to trim paint to trim paint... You really need to be t sting and ACTUAL cabinet paint (industrial wood coating) like Renner, Milesi, Centurion, Envirolak, ML Campbell, etc. This test is a race to the bottom with the slowest sedans. You don't even have a race car in the pack.
Where is Behr? lol
Very dumb name for a handyman business. Good video.
Thanks
