Hi BusyMom,
Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the lack of coverage and chipping on your cabinets and furniture! This product will typically cover in 1-2 coats, however certain colors may require additional coats for full coverage. To fix the finish, I recommend sanding down the areas that chipped to remove the loose coating, spot cleaning them, then touching up with more paint. This is a matte, decorative finish; however, our Clear Chalk Decorative Aerosol Paint or a water-based polyurethane can be applied to your kitchen cabinets for added durability. For further assistance with your project, please feel free to reach out to us directly. Best - Sara
