A:  Happy to help! Yes, you can mix the base coats together in the kit. Make sure to thoroughly mix before use and stir often during your application. However, Home Depot stores can also custom tint the Rust-Oleum Transformations Cabinet Kits that are larger than this listing, since they are tint base products. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Transformations-1-qt-Pure-White-Cabinet-Kit-374678/320360432 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

    Answer This Question

    A:  Happy to clear things up! The Base Coat in the Rust-Oleum Transformations Cabinet Kit is not considered a chalk paint, and both coatings will have a higher sheen typically found with those types of coatings. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

        I have bought these kits before, they are awesome and easy to use! In our previous home we did our kitchen cabinets, bedroom furniture and vanities. Loved it so much that our home we moved into we are again going to do our kitchen cabinets! Highly recommend doing it yourself, it’s easy and no sanding, no mess! Anyone can do it! Already did our master vanity!the Gray is new color!

        Wonderful Alternative to Purchasing New Vanity
        I bought this kit to redo a small vanity in the guest bathroom. The vanity was a praline oak builders grade cabinet and was very outdated. I’m not very handy at all but I must say this kit was amazing. I followed the directions to a T. Clean well and degloss before doing anything else. Next comes two coats of paint, which covered mine nicely. Next came the stain. I was going to leave the vanity gray but the countertop has a yellow tint so I was afraid it wouldn’t look right. The stain is tricky getting the amount taken off with the cheesecloth provided. I left mine a little heavier than some may like. Then the protective top coat. You must get it on evenly and make sure it doesn’t pool in the corners as it will turn yellow. All-in-all, I’m very happy with the results. I highly recommend!

          It will turn yellow
          I did my homework on using this product. I watched the youtube videos many times, read the provided instructions, & read multiple product reviews. I ollowed the instructions/recmmendations used top quatly brushes & was extremely patience during the entire process. I did read a few reviews that said over time the poly will make the cabinets look yellow, though it was only 1 or 2 reviews it happened to me. 3 weeks later. DO NOT BUY DO NOT USE! It Now i have to hire a pro to come fix this $$

          That is odd to hear, Mike! Our Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations Kit includes a water-based satin polyurethane that is designed to cure to a crystal clear finish. Yellowing may occur if applying the kit is applied directly over bare wood without priming due to tannin, or if the polyurethane is exposed to UV. The top coat may also yellow if applied too heavily over the base coat. Please give us a call at 800-901-0411, we want to make things right! - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2 Rustoleum
            Worth the Time
            I used the rust oleum kit in my bathroom and behrs semigloss paint in my kitchen. The rust oleum turned out so much better, I kick myself for not using it in the kitchen. From the reviews it seems the white color is giving customers the most problems. I used a dark gray. Even if you use white you have to go to the paint counter for them to add tint to the base coat. I needed about 3 coats but had very smooth coverage and didn't show brush strokes as semigloss did. 3+ years, still looking great!

              Get TWO sets
              While this is a decent paint, it does NOT cover 100sq ft with one or two coats. I mean it could but the coverage would suck. FIVE COATS is what I had to use to actually make it look GOOD. That said, I would use it again but I would read reviews first so I buy enough the FIRST time. A little disappointed in Rustoleum but overall their paint is good.

                Good products--generous amount in this 1-qt kit
                This kit was easy to use and came with all the things needed. I used the product to paint a very dated small bathroom vanity from its original wood finish to white. The vanity is small and only had two sides exposed, since it is built into a corner. The kit contained two cans of base coat, and I only used about half of one can, even with painting the interior of the cabinet and doors. I used only a small fraction of the deglosser solution. The finished project was quite nice.

                Terrible results
                Followed the directions exactly. Did 2 coats of bond coat and it didn't cover the cabinet. Did 3 coats to get it covered and the paint turned yellow. When using the top coat, it turned it extremely yellow. Very disappointed!

                That doesn't sound right! From your description, it sounds like you could be getting some tannin bleed through from the previous finish. If the original finish was very worn or faded, or if there was any bare wood exposed it could potentially cause some bleed through. The use of a stain blocking primer is highly suggested to prevent this from happening in the future. To correct the surface we suggest applying Rust-Oleum Zinsser CoverStain Primer right over the paint to seal and prevent bleed through. Allow the primer to dry for 1 hour and then you may recoat the surface with the Bond Coat. We want to hear more about your experience and try to make things right with you. Please feel free to call us at 800-901-0411 to talk about this more and make sure to have the product handy!

                  The product is not good for easy painting
                  After using the deglosser and painting two coats, the final result looks bad and not easy for people who doesn't a lot of experience painting cabinets.

                  Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience, Michael! To ensure the best finish, we recommend using 2" synthetic paint brushes. We recommend using premium quality brushes, but angled or straight can be used. The Bond Coat will leave some brush marks to allow the Decorative Glaze to properly rest on the surface.

                    Transformed my kitchen
                    I had brown cabinets that made my kitchen look dated. This kit was enough to cover my entire kitchen. Great results. Instead of included top cost I used Minwax Polycrylic protective finish. Dries beautifully. I found it helpful to apply decorative glaze with wet foam brush as I was going for a lighter finish. Glaze is dark and dries quick. If you apply with wet brush it dilutes it and is easier to smear.
