Customer Reviews for BEHR PREMIUM 1 Gal. White Satin Enamel Interior/Exterior Cabinet, Door & Trim Paint

I've used this product previously for some cabinet doors and trim moulding. Goes on easy and the finish levels out rather well when using a [good quality] brush. Very low odor (if any). The satin finish is classy and looks modern. The key is in the preparation. You must clean, sand, and prime well before top coating with this enamel. That's the case with most paints, however without priming, you risk getting uneven results and the paint may not stick well. This is not a very thick paint, and two thin coats are definitely recommended (sometimes three), but it comes out nice, dries hard and is durable. My experience with it so far has been great! Photos attached of door and trim were done with a brush (not sprayed).

This is a terrific cabinet paint! I put a layer of undercoat first and this frosty enamel white paint was very smooth to paint on it (I did not bother to sand.) I would recommend to use a foam roller rather than a brush as, based on my experience, it takes quite a bit of training to avoid streaks with a brush. The final product is really pleasing to the eye: very bright white while staying warm (not hospital white), really enjoyed painting and it is an affordable way to upgrade any kitchen. Highly recommend.

I got this paint to try it out and see how it worked and if it was something I wanted to incorporate into my cabinet shop. I was pleased with the primer and paint combination. With primer, the color is more robust with a single coat and it is more uniform - you don't see wood grain popping through as much. It painted well by hand, I have yet to spray it though. I have not sprayed the primer either but the pairing provided/recommended was excellent. We decided to use this for the kitchen island we are building for our reno house. The color is beautiful and goes well with the tile we have picked out and the other colors in the house. I have previously used the Behr Alkyd line for custom cabinets - both sprayed and rolled and they have worked great. The primer sealed untreated plywood with a single coat and rough wood trim with two coats. The paint dried quickly as did the primer so that we could do a second coat within an hour. There is quite a difference in the depth of the blue when you use the primer - I think it looks better and deeper with the primer.

I have previously used the Behr Alkyd line for custom cabinets - both sprayed and rolled and they have worked great. I'll likely keep this in stock for use in our shop for black items. The color quality of the black was excellent, very deep. If you want to see wood grain through the black then don't use the primer. The black still looks great but you get extra texture. The primer sealed untreated plywood with a single coat and rough wood trim with two coats. The paint dried quickly as did the primer so that we could do a second coat within an hour.

First off, if you order this paint, it comes with easy to remove protective equipment on the top and bottom of the can to prevent can movement and spillage while in route. The paint itself is easy to mix and use. I found it works best if you apply several thin coats. I used the Behr ACRYLIC-ALKYD Enamel Undercoater on my workshop door and a drawer before applying the paint and am quite pleased with the result. Pay close attention to the directions on the can. It is recommended to allow 2 weeks for the paint to completely dry. After 4 days, I can still scratch the paint with my fingernail, so protect your work accordingly.

This is some really nice paint. I painted a bookshelf and some cabinets with this paint and I really like it. The finish is a nice hard white, and mine came out fairly glossy even though it says satin so if you're wanting very satin this isn't the paint for you. If you see the pictures you can see the reflections on the side so its fairly shiny which I don't mind. I would suggest using some kind of sprayer with it. The first coat I did was with a brush and there were definitely lines from the brush and it wasn't as even but when I pulled out my sprayer for the final coat it looks amazing.

I used the Behr premium ultra pure white satin to paint a high use, high abuse door between garage and house. I had used Sherwin Williams hybrid paint years ago. It held up well. But , it didn’t paint out smoothly. The dogs and grand children are super hard on the finish. It’s been almost a month and paint is holding up well. I wanted to try out this paint before I committed to painting kitchen cabinets I used brush and roller on door and trim. I’ll use air less sprayer for cabinets.

This is a high quality paint, with professional results & the perfect alternative to oil based paints. It is very easy to work with low odor and water cleanup, and no need for special brushes, equipment or disposal requirements. It takes 1 hour to dry and 2 hours between coats. I used a low nap foam roller and a brush and had good coverage after 2 coats with a primer (I have used both an alcohol based primer and also Behrs Acrylic Interior Kitchen, Bath, and Trim Stain-Blocking Primer and Sealer with good results https://www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-1-Gal-White-Acrylic-Interior-Kitchen-Bath-and-Trim-Stain-Blocking-Primer-and-Sealer-07501/100144295 ). The paint has good adhesion on both repainted surfaces and new surfaces. The finish is durable after curing, which can take a few weeks (although it drys in only a few hours, the paint is not fully cured or at full strength). I put my freshly painted cabinets to use after just 2 days by putting a little plastic, or felt circle on the corner of each cabinet door, so the painted surfaces do not stick to one another. I use this paint on a cabinet in my laundry area and it has withstood damp clothes on it and other damp conditions, it is also rated for bathroom use. The cured paint is stain resistant, and also wipes clean easily with a damp rag and water. Also, the plastic lid and pour spout on the can makes it so the remainder of the paint can be stored and used for touch ups at a much later date without rusting lids, spills, dried paint residue or other problems commonly associated with metal lids. This paint would work good for baseboards, windows, doorways and other areas where a durable paint is needed. This can also be used on properly prepped drywall, masonry and metal.

This provided really good coverage and has a nice finish. I used it to paint kitchen cabinets and repaint some baseboards that had been scratched up by the dog. On the baseboard I used a standard paint brush, but with the cabinets I applied with a Wagner Flexio paint sprayer & I'm really pleased with the finish. I painted 10 feet of baseboard and all the lower cabinets in my kitchen and still have 3/4 of each gallon leftover. Highly recommend!

We moved into our home a couple years ago and since then, there’s always been projects to do to get things the way we want them. We recently decided it was time to paint some of the interior doors in the house. We chose this BEHR PREMIUM 1 gal. #12 Swiss Coffee Satin Enamel Interior Cabinet and Trim Paint because we liked the color and the product literature says it is good for cabinets, trim, doors, windows, shutters, and woodwork. When we got the paint, it was time to get to work. The doors were in good shape so they did not require a lot of prep but I cleaned them to ensure the paint adhered well. I then applied a coat of primer and when that was dried, I applied the first coat of paint. I was not painting a large surface so I went with a good nylon brush. The paint went on easily and looked nice and smooth. After allowing the paint to dry for a couple hours, I applied a second coat and it looked even better. The instructions say that doors can be closed after two hours but I allowed it to sit overnight before closing it. After the paint dried overnight, it seemed like it had dried to a nice, hard finish. I was very happy with the appearance of the door when I was finished. I am not a paint expert but this paint seemed to give a high quality finish and I am very happy with the results.

I have been a builder and remodeled for 51 years, and as such I’ve installed a lot of kitchens, and for many people, a new kitchen is a nice way to go. But for many others, they may already have good cabinets or built Ins, and all they need is a sprucing up, or mino facelift. That’s where this BEHR PREMIUM 1 GAL. #12 SWISS COFFEE SATIN ENAMEL INTERIOR CABINET AND TRIM PAINT fills the bill very nicely. In that case, I can just mask off areas and use my handheld sprayer, and viola! The customer has “new” kitchen or built ins.

Behr black satin enamel interior cabinet and trim paint is top quality high end paint like all Behr product are. I used Behr Acrylic undercoat as recommended and it came out beautiful. I also used the Starlight blue paint, I painted one post the black and one the Starlight blue and of coarse the wife liked one and I liked the other, but either one will cover great and look perfect when I finish. I only will ever use Behr paints for all my projects.

Great quality paint and good coverage when used with the proper primer. The color looks fantastic, and based on the behr quality I’m use to it should hold up great. When using on previously stained or sealed cabinets flow the manufacturers instructions and prep the surface as they recommend. I found out the hard way and had to start the process over.

Behr Premium Starless Night Satin Enamel Interior paint is recommended to use a Beher undercoat which I did use on this. The Starless blue is a pretty blue. I painted one post on my steps to my hot tub, and I am going to use a Black Satin on the other post to see which the wife likes the best. The wood was new treated bare wood, by using the under coat it covered in one coat. Behr products are the best paint and the only paint will ever buy.

This is a beautiful, uniquely colored paint. While wet, it looked dark, bluish black, but once it dried, it was a much lighter blue. Either way, it is gorgeous. It's goes on better if you prime first and then apply thin coats of paint (we used two coats) to prevent streaking. It dries quickly and provides a hard, smooth, washable surface that's not easily scratched. Cleanup was easy using just soap and water and there is no harsh odor to contend with. If you have it shipped to you, it is well packed with safety lids to prevent spillage.

I really like the finish from this paint. It’s easy to work with and goes on smooth. I used it for cabinets and trim throughout a home. It did take a few coats. Two to be exact. I primered before hand and that really helped to get a nice smooth finish. One thing I really liked is that it goes on thin so it goes a long ways. It’s actually thinner than I had originally thought. It covers great but I do recommend to get the best finish right before your last coat to lightly sand it and clean and then apply final coat. I was working indoors so dry time was about an hour between coats. But I did have some situations where it dried faster. I let it dry real good so when the doors would close on cabinets or anything like that they wouldn’t stick and so far so good. Cleanup was not too bad pretty much normal like any other paint. I just used water and some soap from my brushes and rollers I just toss. It doesn’t smell bad or have any nauseous fumes. I did apply it to some areas without primer and it still covered good but if you have stains I still suggest primer first. It’s definitely a good paint and worth the money for the results. You get what you pay for. Cabinets and doors are usually some of the toughest things to get to look good when painting so it’s nice to know they have a specific for it now.

Behr premium 1 gal. #12 swiss coffee satin enamel interior cabinet and trim paint covers very well on meduim to light colors on the wall with one coat. For darker colors, two coats may be needed. It resists dirt and mildew and cleans easily with soap and water, it dries to the touch in one hour and door do not stick after two hours. It's ideal for use on cabinets, trim, doors, windows, shutters and woodwork. This product can also be used on other properly prepared and primed substrates, such as drywall, masonry and metal.

The Behr Premium enamel undercoater and the cabinet and trim enamel are a perfect combination for painting , trim, doors, windows, cabinets, and other woodwork. I wanted to repaint a small kitchen table and chairs from dark oak to white and this paint made the job easier and gave me the results I wanted. The undercoater and paint is are easy to apply and dries to touch in 30 minutes or less and can be painted over in one hour. The coverage is excellent and I like that cleanup only required soap and water. Using good quality roller helps achieving a smooth finish.

Easier to apply than some cabinet paints. Some others really need to be rolled or sprayed to give a smooth finish but this can be brushed and it still left a smooth finish. On the other hand, it does need two coats to cover well and a specific primer is recommended. The pictures show how the paint looked on my test section when first brushed on while the other shows the finish after the first coat dried completely. The brush marks are gone and the wood grain still shows. That also means that any repair/patch spots in the cabinet will show if you don't do your finish sanding well. All in all, I like this paint system even though the color came out a bit lighter than I had expected.

I wasn't quite sure what "Swiss Coffee" color Behr Premium Satin Enamel Interior Cabinet and Trim Paint would look like when I ordered it, nor exactly where I was going to use it. It turned out that "Swiss Coffee" is a very nice creamy beige color that would look good on almost any project as trim. This order included matching undercoater so it made a nice combination for my raw 1x4's that needed painting. I was really impressed with the packaging Behr used to ship the paint: each gallon can was supported in a square plastic frame at the top and bottom of the can so they couldn't shift or be damaged during shipment. I was not familiar with Alkyd type paint so I was surprised at how quickly it dried. I was able to apply the undercoat with a brush and the finish coat about an hour later in 65 degree weather without any problem. The the undercoat and top coat are thick but not too thick and spread evenly even with the old brushes that I was using. A good quality nylon brush or short nap roller are recommended and would probably yield even better results than I got. This is really nice paint and I will find lots of other places to use it.

I have used Behr paint for several different jobs. I have always liked the quality. I’m looking to replace the trim in my master bedroom and it’s all going to need to be painted before installation. I always like to test the paint before I actually use it on the item for which I purchased it . As with the Behr paintsI have used in the past, I am pleased to see that this has the same quality. A 1 gallon can covers up to 400 ft.² of coverage. Keep in mind that if doing two coats, you’re only going to get about half that coverage. As you can see by my test piece, the coverage is remarkable. Even after one coat you can barely see the black magic marker on the board. After two coats it’s covered completely. In addition to great coverage I also like the speed with which I was able to use the paint. It dries to the touch in one hour but is able to be recoated after only two hours. Plus, it cleans up with soap and water. The lid comes with a screw off cap that allows you to pour the paint from the can without taking off the entire lid. However, that can be tough to unscrew, especially if you have a touch of arthritis such as I do. Plus, I find these types of lids a little messy when pouring from the can so I just remove the entire lid instead of just unscrewing the cap. If you’re looking for a high-quality paint with excellent coverage, this is the paint you need.

I have used Behr paint for several different jobs. I have always liked the quality. My nephew is doing a bathroom remodel and has promised me the vanity. I selected this product because I know it is going to need to be painted once I receive it. I always like to test the paint before I actually use it on the item for which I purchased it . As with the Behr Products I have used in the past, I am pleased to see that this has the same quality as the exterior paint I used recently. A 1 gallon can boasts up to 400 ft.² of coverage. Keep in mind that if doing two coats, you’re only going to get about half that coverage. As you can see by my test piece, the coverage is remarkable. Even after one coat you can barely see the black magic marker on the board. After two coats it’s literally invisible. In addition to great coverage I also like the speed with which I was able to use the paint. It dries to the touch in one hour but is able to be recoated after only two hours. I also like that it cleans up with soap and water. The lid comes with a screw on cap that allows you to pour the paint from the can without taking off the entire lid. However, that can be tough to unscrew, especially if you have a touch of arthritis such as I do. Plus, I find these types of lids a little messy when pouring from the can so I just remove the entire lid instead of just unscrewing the cap. I cannot wait to get the vanity for my bathroom. This paint is going to make updating it an absolute breeze. If you’re looking for a high-quality paint with excellent coverage, this is the paint you need.

This paint is specially formulated for Interior Cabinets, Doors, and Trim. Most people just use wall paint for cabinets, doors, and trim and are left unhappy with the results. Stains bleed through, doors stick shut, it scratches and chips easily. Using the proper paint and surface preparation is essential to achieve quality, professional results. It is essential that even a painted cabinet or door surface is primed prior to painting so that the new paint can have proper adhesion without any bleed through from the old paint or stains. For this cabinet & door paint BEHR recommend using their BEHR 43701 Alkyd Primer (See Photo). This BEHR Enamel Interior Cabinet and Trim Paint covers nicely, dries quickly, flows and levels evenly without leaving brush marks, and dries to a hard durable finish. You won’t get those results using a wall paint. It cleans up with soap and water. It arrived quickly, well packaged without and damage.

Behr's Premium interior cabinet and trim paint is an excellent quality paint and covers really well. I used the Behr Acrylic-Alkyd enamel undercoater to cover the prepainted surface on an old desk and it covered very nicely the brush marks on the drawer front. Then I used the Behr Bit of Sugar satin cabinet and enamel for the final coat and it looks great. I definitely recommend it as a fine quality cabinet and trim paint.

BEHR PREMIUM 1 Gal. Ultra-Pure White Base Satin Interior Cabinet and Trim Paint. This paint is awesome. I have used BEHR paint throughout our home, but seeing is believing. I painted our garage door and trim with this paint and it only took one coat to cover all the blemishes. I have attached before and after photographs for reference. As you can see the paint did an outstanding job and this was with no undercoat and only one coat applied. Awesome Paint!

My wife and I have used different paints and primers over the years. Some runny, some thick, some bad, but some good. Let me start by saying this cabinet started out gloss black in color, and I thought I may end up having to sand it down to the base, to be able to use it again. I started of course with the Primer. Boy was I surprised. The consistency of the primer was spot on. It covered with ease, and even filled in some imperfections such as scratches and chips. Barely two full coats and the black no longer existed. Now for the paint. It was as amazing to work with as the primer. Perfectly mixed, and a vibrant color. It applied smooth and covered with ease. Not too runny and not too thick. Absolute perfection. Both the primer and paint were very easy to clean out of the brush. And both showed no brush marks during or after applied. Sure saved me time on sanding, and now to put our cabinet back to use. Highly recommended. Looking forward to using again.

Finally a top shelf furniture paint for heavy duty exposure. I needed a simple white for beadboard in a study/bedroom. It's a high traffic area with a lot of wear potential. This paint went on smooth and created a really strong finish. Pro Tip - Make sure you ask for the Behr simple pour spout. The folks behind the counter don't always know to hand them out. They make it very easy to pour paint from the can into trays and buckets. A real help in keeping the paint from getting messy.

This Behr Premium Ultra Pure White Satin Interior Cabinet and trim paint is an excellent paint. I applied it using a paint brush and my paint sprayer. It goes on very smooth and covers very well on this old oak cabinets of 32 years. Since the cabinets were very dry oak wood, I did apply three coats to ensure good coverage. I also purchased new cabinets handles which just accented the new paint. Using this paint has extended the life of this bathroom cabinets making it look new and modern. Very easy to clean up and it was fun to see the changes of this cabinet using this paint. I have placed photos below of before and after painting this piece. I am now thinking about doing my kitchen cabinets next year with this paint. Works great with my paint sprayer and paint brush. Very beautiful paint.
