    Worst paint I have ever used. It goes on poorly weather sprayed or brushed. It doesn’t flow out and level. It doesn’t dry so it can’t be sanded to get it back to level to recoat. I will never use this again

      Excellent paint
      This paint is great quality. It covers well and is durable. It dries to a smooth finish with a brush and foam roller. I did add some water to allow it to smooth out better. It is slightly tacky after 12 hours still but after a few days it dries to a hard durable finish. The photos are 3 coats on radiata pine cabinet grade plywood from Home Depot. The wood was primed then sanded with 150 grit. Paint was rolled with a 4" foam roller.

        Buyer Beware
        Bought this to refinish my solid maple bead board cabinets which needed a facelift. However, this paint was the worse. The paint didn’t lay flat and left a textured orange peel on my cabinets. We’re experienced painters and cabinets were prepped appropriately, used appropriate sprayer tip and sanded in-between coats. $25,000 kitchen cabinets are ruined unless I strip and redo them with a different product. Never seen this happen before with paint.

          Did the job
          Not a beginner painter. Used this paint to refinish a bathroom vanity and kitchen cabinets. They suggest not using a foam roller, tried both naps - the foam roller had the least blemishes. I used Kilz primer and sanded between coats. The cabinet doors were stripped with citristrip prior to sanding, priming x2 and painting. The doors had the best coverage with 2 coats. The base of the cabinet was sanded and primed twice then sanded and painted twice. The vanity base could use a third coat.

            Excellent paint for wood kitchen cabinets!
            Love this product - the finish (semi gloss) gives my cabinets a brand new look feel without looking too shiny. Awesome paint. Thanks BEHR.!!

            Very impressed
            First let me say this. In order to get a great finish you need to do the proper prep work. I have used all the major brands and for the price these Behr trim paints are unbeatable. I have gotten some excellent results with it.

                This paint is great. It did take 2 coats but it covered very nicely. When wet it looks like its all uneven but when dry it is perfect. Love the color! Kim H

                  Oak Cabinets
                  Cleaned cabinets, removed hardware, liquid sandpaper, sanded/primed 3 times with oil-based primer. I FINALLY used this AMAZING paint! It’s beautiful, smooth, leveled, did not need much. Does leave color discoloration when wet, but disappears when dry.

                    I knew I needed a durable paint to cover a steel indoor/outdoor door. Honestly I had my doubts that this was the paint I needed. I asked a very knowledgeable young man while at Home Depot what should use. The door manufacturer listed several brands. I mentioned one of the brands and of course Home Depot doesn't carry it. It was a Urethane Trim Enamel Paint. I was really impressed that the paint was perfect for the job. I was afraid that the weather stripping would stick to the paint. I followed instructions printed on the can (application temperature, dry time, delay to second coat, etc) and ended up with excellent coverage. The vinyl weather stripping didn't stick to the painted surface. I started out using a 2" brush but always in a hurry, I switched to a 2" roller. Everything worked out well!

                      switched from Sherwin Williams
                      since the pandemic paint has become harder to find in quantity. Behr and the Home Depot have really stepped up this year with products and services. that being said this may be one of the most versatile paints on the market. you can paint cabinets and trim work inside and performs just as well outside. great product at a great price.

                          Great Product
                          I have quite a bit of experience with coatings in Aerospace and Automotive Finishing Industry. As mentioned before, proper preparation of the substrate is of utmost importance. If overcoating a previous paint, know what what type of coating is there. Compatibility of coatings is important. Humidity and temperature is also very important. If humidity is too high, water based paints will not dry. As for the paint itself, it is excellent and has great adhesion. Even in stained wooden surfaces. I used it on a new desk project to get a whitewash effect and was extremely satisfied. I see why it works well for cabinets and furniture.

                            This paint is the toughest and most chip resistant option for kitchen cupboards. It can be tinted to any Behr color. I always sand and prime (2 coats) then top with this urethane alkyd paint (2 coats). It takes longer to dry between coats - but worth it. It's harder to clean off of hands and brushes - but worth it. Provides an exceptional finish and outstanding protection. This is a Hybrid paint. It works by having an oil molecule surrounded by water molecules which carry the pigment. As the water evaporates, it leaves behind the oil and a lustrous, durable finish. (D.I.Y. Painting Tips: The absolute best paint for cabinets in 2021)

                            Manchester Gray
                            I went back and forth for awhile deciding on a color since there were no accurate review pics of this color. However, we are extremely pleased with it! Our appliances are biscuit (off white) so solid white was not an option. This color is BEAUTIFUL! It’s similar to a light taupe/cream with a hint of gray. The pic I’m including is 2 coats over a dark walnut stain, no sanding or stripping. We’ll be adding a 3 coat soon to finish out, so final color may darken some.

                              I had some bathroom cabinets that were look a little sad side . So I bought this to brighten them up. Installed all new hardware to go along with it. Paint is fairly thick. I cleaned the cabinets with tsp to clean off any dirt and grim. I took two coats to cover everything. The wife loves the color so happy wife happy life. The paint was special order and did not take that long to get delivered to my local store.

                              Just what you need
                              Stop your search and buy this paint if youre looking to paint your cabinets. As someone else noted, painting is mostly prep, and when it comes to cabinets, you want to prep well. A lot of people complained its too thin, that it pulls when brushed over, or that it took 4-5 coats to cover. You need to know how to use an enamel paint. I only needed 2-3 coats in most areas and I used a clear primer. The finish looks excellent on the semi gloss and seems to be quite hard!
