Customer Reviews for Modern Masters Express Yourself 1 qt. Satin Elegant Black Water-Based Front Door Paint

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Who doesn't want to update their door or furniture. I know this paint is design for the door but I did my entertainment center. One can does the job. The paint goes on smoothly and leaves a nice satin finished after painted. There are no streaks after dry. I used to coats. Anyone can use this paint whether you a professional or beginner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was actually afraid to put a fresh coat of paint on my front door as it is black (as well as the shutters). I thought that they wouldn't match or it would be too difficult to find a matching color for the door. Turns out there is paint made specifically for the front door! It looks so much better now! The only downside was I need more than two coats (in scratched spots) to cover the blemishes. The finish, though, is great and is exactly what the front door should look like. Also, one jar is more than enough to paint the door (and probably all the shutters, too).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product came right on time. My husband and I were just discussing repainting our front door and this product by Modern Masters came up and I grabbed it. Me never painting before EVER was a little nervous but this paint went on smoothly. My door was already painted black parts were chipping off and the white prime base was starting to come through. I cleaned the dirt off my door and began to paint. Never heard of self leveling before but OMG it works wonders. My door has such a smooth even finish that it looks like a BRAND NEW DOOR! The paint went on so smooth and quick and it seems like it dries in an instant it's that fast. I put 2 coats on after drying all brush marks disappeared. I can see why this paint has a lot of rave reviews. Go get you some!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really loved how this paint looked before going on my front door. My doors were originally painted black but over time they have become scratched, chipped and faded. The paint was super smooth going on and kept the same color even after drying. I was SO excited and impressed! My doors look fantastic! I even chose to paint the side door as well!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used this paint to refresh a metal storm door, the main front door and plastic shutters. I’ve gotten great results with all. One small container was enough to cover both doors. I found the formula quite different from most paints. The first coat applied almost translucent and I was concerned the coverage wouldn’t be good. When I applied the second coat, the color became saturated and beautiful. The color in the container becomes blue after sitting for a while but after a good shake, it really does come out as a rich black with a gloss finish. I used a cabinet roller to avoid paintbrush marks on the doors. I painted it directly on the metal door and shutters with no primer but I primed the main door and frame. The cold weather snuck on us and I still need to apply one last coat on the frame which I can’t wait to do when it’s bit warmer out. I already love how everything looks. The black color adds a lot of character to what used to be a plain white door. Next Spring, I’ll get another bottle to paint all the shutters that remain. I highly recommend this paint.

The paint worked great dried fast, looks rich. Everyone has complimented. It made our new house feel like our new home!

I have bought and used over 4 different paints before trying this. I used the teal over black for my metal front door. It took two coat but looks flawless.

I had a blast painting our front door. It was easy, and it transformed the front entrance. We have received so many compliments on the color.

I didn't have to take the door off. It dries so I could close the door and not have to worry. Also, I had no streaks. I have used this paint on 4 outside doors! I would recommend to anyone!

Hi read all of the reviews and was hesitant to try it and despite using a brush and a foam roller my results were not great. What a waste of time. I was hoping this paint would prove to be good but my hopes were too high. I followed all of the rules after chatting with modern Masters but I still blothed a perfect door. better luck next time I guess.

Being there are many choices for door paint,it can be difficult to figure out which one is the best for you. I have tried a few others, which tend to fade and peel after a short time. While Express yourself paint may be a bit more on the cost scale, its results are quite superior. 1 Quart may seem like small amount, but a little goes a long way. I used at 2" brush to apply and after 2 coats, I only used about 1/4 of the container. I figure I can get about 3 - 80" x 32" doors , 2 coats each, out of this. It dries very fast and you can recoat in about an hour, even though it recommends 2 hours. The final product looks tough and has a satiny sheen which is great for the front door. I would definitely recommend to someone looking for a different brand of door paint that out performs some of those other choices.

2 coats beautifully finished my front door.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product on my front door. I prepped the area by cleaning and sanding the door first. I used a medium sized brush and a sponge brush for tricky areas. It went on smoothly and looks great. It gave my front door a face lift.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have watched tons of diy videos on painting doors and have admired but never been bold enough to try. I saw this paint and took a chance and am so so glad I did. I absolutely love the outcome and the paint quality. I am confident it will last for years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paint is great. I used it on my front door and it covered the other paint so well. It went on smooth and dried quickly. I did two coats but really would have been fine with one. I did wash my door first but there are no streaks or bubbles in the finished product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this paint to refresh my old white metal front door. After priming it, I ended up using three coats of this paint. It offered opaque and beautiful coverage, and dried very quickly between coats- making this a much quicker and easier process than anticipated. A little goes a long way, and I still had a good amount of paint left over after my project.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this paint to repaint our front door and it is beautiful. Paint went on so smoothly and even. Honestly I will absolutely use this paint again for other projects and other colors. Love it! Go get some!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm very happy with this paint. Was easy to use. I found it to go on smooth and dry quickly. No bubbles, smearing. Clean up also a breeze. I now have all matching doors and I'm thrilled. I can't say yet about the paint not fading but I definitely have high hopes it won't. I highly recommend this paint and plan to continue purchasing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this paint for both my front and back doors!! It's great and gave full coverage with only one coat, it is super smooth and easy to apply... it looks wonderful!!! I will be using this brand again for my living room walls!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, definitely read the instructions prior to starting. There are a lot of great reviews out there on prepping and painting with this with great tips and tricks. With that said, preparation is key to a great result. Sand and prime and clean, or you may need more than two coats. The first coat can be streaky but then the second coat fills it all in nicely. A roller brush is your friend here for more even coverage and ease of painting. A foam brush worked great on the detailed parts of the door. It dries fairly quickly. It came out a nice rich black with a satin finish. It was alittle more work but the finished product was well worth it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The paint is quite thick and covers really well. I used a brush for the trim and also followed their suggestions for the roller choice. It was easy and dried well and then I worked on the 2nd coat. 2 coats is enough. Overall I am very happy with this product and have lot left over.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been slowly transforming our house from a modern farmhouse to a more mid century modern design with a lot more black accents. We decided that a black front door would be great. Our front door was about 4 years old and we had never painted a door before. My husband was concerned about the dry time but this stuff really does quick. We thought we would have to leave the door open and off the hinges for days. Even though it’s winter it’s warm here and dried super quick. After two coats it looks great and the little bottle provides great coverage. Let’s see how long it lasts but hopefully forever since it said it won’t fade!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little nervous about this when we received this because I thought the color was supposed to be black, but in the container it looked more like a dark blue, but it turned out great and ended up going on black.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started with a worn-out yellow metal door.  Two full coats of this Modern Masters Express Yourself Elegant Front Door Paint and I now have a beautiful dark satin door.  This is such a beautiful transformation!  I used a 4" paint brush and applied the paint generously, but not dripping. This paint goes on very smoothly. I also didn't have to take the door off the hinges to paint. I was able to use a smaller paint brush up close to the hinges. The paint dried fairly quickly, about an hour or two, which is a good thing.  Gives you enough time to actually paint, then dry.  This was very easy to do, so don't be too nervous. I'm going to have to try something else now.  They have lots of colors to choose from...I'm hooked! 

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Paint works well and covers easily. Dries fairly quickly and has a nice twist lid for easy storage. No need for a paint can opener. I would recommend. I would buy again for other doors or projects.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My front door has gone unpainted for over 20 years, so needless to say it was looking more than a little bit grungy after 20+ years of wear and tear. It's still a great door after all this time, so we decided to paint it black (because The Rolling Stones told us to), and this paint definitely fit the bill! I was a little nervous after the first coat because it seemed not quite right, but once that dried and we applied the 2nd coat, it turned out wonderfully!

Great paint! Goes on smooth with fantastic coverage! I would highly recommend this products. One small quart is more than enough to do a standard size door.

Was very thin and had to put 4 coats on it to cover and if you try to put it on heavier it runs. Looked ok after 4 coats.
