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

This is a very nice color and that's why I chose this brand. But 3+ coats is crazy. I had a pro painter do my painting this time and I gave him this jar of Energetic from Modern Masters to pain a metal front door and side light. He was not thrilled with this paint. He was painting over a color like brown sugar so you would think Orange would cover in two coats. Not! He finally finished with 3 coats but he is still not happy with the bleed through of the under color. It's makes a very pretty front door but not again.

[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.

This paint looked great for a year and then it peeled and peeled. This is painted on a metal front door. We also painted the shutters and they stilll look good. Now we have to sand it all off and figure out where to go from here.

I needed a real boost of color to my house to add some curb appeal. I have white siding with faux Lannon Stone on the front of my house, along with chocolate brown shutters and window trim. I like the brown, but the door was just plain white. I decided to try out this paint after reading many of the reviews. So impressed with it! I will say, it took two solid coats of paint, and two touch-up coats to get it nice and even, but it was well worth the effort. I started painting at 10AM and was done with all 4 coats by 7PM - no issues. Some have complained that it dries too fast and that an additive is needed, I did not have that experience, but knew also that I would have to work fast and efficiently. I had no problems, and the color is spectacular!

Love it...my front door looks like a new door. I’m getting many compliments. The paint job was a success-DIY.

I used this paint on my inside garage entrance that we use every day. Beautiful bright color and high quality paint! It covered in two coats and was a vast improvement. A little pricier than most paints, but they offer a more designer type variety of colors for doors than other paint makers.

Fabulous color! Took 3 coats on white plus touch ups using a hand brush. ABSOLUTELY take off your hardware rather than using tape! Works like traditional latex, so the tape takes off paint with it.

This paint was going on our front door after 18 years of weathering in Wisconsin. After a pressure washing and light sanding, two coats looks amazing!

Front door looks very god with Serene Blue color

Love the color for our front door and garage entry door. We primed first with a grey primer then 2 coats of the blue paint. It will look even more amazing with the white shiplap we plan on putting in our entryway. We are very happy with the results.

Fantastic. Very happy. It's the thickest paint I've ever seen. We got the outside of 3 doors painted and still have a little left. 3 coats is really necessary for solid coverage.

Went on smoothly. Easy to work with. A gorgeous color!

Best paint we ever used. Although expensive, it went a very long way. We painted a solid front door, 4 shutters, 2 back doors with glass in the middle and put two coats on all. We still have some left for touch ups if needed. My Son put on FB that we are rebels, used front door paint on the back doors and shutters! Delivery even with the Covid-19 was on time.

I read a bunch of reviews and got the Floetrol. I did the side bars without it and it was like painting with melted chocolate, though the coverage was good. With the Floetrol I had to use more coats but it did buy me the time to get a nice finish on the paint. I did find that no matter if you use it with Floetrol or not, the performance was better with a paint brush than with a roller, which surprised me. A paint brush needed 2 coats, a roller required 4--all with the Floetrol. Using just the paint with no additive and a paint brush, one coat and a whole lot of cursing got the job done and quickly--because you have to (hence the mess). Be sure to get latex paint remover to help you get it off the trim and cement. It got everywhere when I wasn't using the Floetrol, though I still had to do some clean up with the additive.

I love the color it really made the entery pop.

The color is gorgeous and it went on beautifully. I recommend this paint.

The paint went on very easy over the old stain on the fiberglass door. Two coats were used to bring out the shine and luster of the color. No paint ever dripped from the brush, I have painted many doors over the years but I will never use anything else going forward. I highly recommend this paint for any fiberglass or wood surfaces, windows, doors, shutters, etc.

It's a little expensive but the coverage was amazing, and was dry in a short period of time. I was surprised at how little paint I actually used out of the container, so, for the price....that was a little annoying. I may just have to paint the other 2 doors on the house to justify the money spent.

Love the color! And there was more than enough paint to apply 2 coats.

Loved how vibrant the color came out! I was worried the color would be too dull when I saw the container arrive, but after applying the first coat I could tell I had made the right decision.

I was VERY pleased with this paint. My daughter & I (as amateurs) were able to complete the paint job in one day, while keeping the door in place. We did three coats of paint on the door and two coats on the trim and still have 1/2 the container left over. The color is beautiful and a very rich green. I was a little skeptical after the first coat, which seemed very thin. However I believe two coats would have been good enough had we been more experienced painters. Our original paint is 20 years old. It is behind a Unique Home Designs MeshTec security screen door from Home Depot.

Door looks wonderful. Recently changed color of my home and when finished, I realized that the front door needed changed also. Was easy to use, the directions were easy to follow, only needed 2 coats on my formerly red door.

Excellent quality paint. Our door looks very attractive. Easy to use, one coat covers plenty.

Applied really well, didn't take up very much paint, we still have a lot left over to paint more doors! And the green really POPS. It was really easy to roll on, and we really liked the satin gloss. We were kind of skeptical that the paint would not work so well on the door, but it actually worked too well, now our neighbors are asking us all kinds of questions about it and now they know where to go to get some! We really love the new look.

Excellent product. Looks amazing. Did 2 coats on each side and I did not prime. Love it.

Beautiful Color - went on smoothly. Looks Good
