Johnstone's - Upcycling Cupboard Paint - Deep Blue Gulf - 750ml

Wasn’t sure if it would cover the dark wood but did an excellent job. Easy to apply and a shiny smooth finish

My cabinets where looking tired so I decided to paint them , I eventually settled for this paint for 2 reasons first it had the colour I was looking for and second it was a really good price compared to others , I can honestly say I was absolutely pleased with the outcome , I'd never painted cabinets before so I followed the advice given on the tin , first coat I was very apprehensive as to how it would turn out , but when I put the second coat imo they look brilliant , a total transformation , I bought 2 tins but barely used any of the 2nd tin , it spreads really well , paint quality is excellent , I used a small brush & a small roller , coverage is really good , i can heartily recommend this product 👍

I have put a before and after photo to show the quality This took 5 coats of paint so if you have a kitchen this size you will need to buy 2 tins of paint. I used a foam roller to apply it and brushes to touch it up. I am I love with it! It does chip quite easily so watch out for that. It dries within about 5 minutes, it’s super quick and it doesn’t have a paint smell to it. Would 100% recommend this paint. I would give 5 stars but due to the paint chipping I have taken one off

So I have just painted my kitchen cabinets with this paint and am so pleased with the outcome. I went for this as it stated no sanding or prep needed which was exactly what I was after. For me it was much better to apply with a small roller and a paint brush for the corners and details. I ended up doing 3 coats and it wasn't on a dark background but I did all cabinets 3 times and bought 2 tins of paint with still a quarter left. The finish is great. Would also say after first coat that did make we wonder how it would turn out I could do a second coat a couple of hours later and then the final coat the next day so all worked out brilliantly for me.

Amazing paint!!!thick. Covers amazingly with just one coat!!! I painted my old double bed frame and my wardrobe. You don't need to sand the furniture a lot. Later wash with sugar soap and I also vacuumed them. Pictures show how great it covers just after one coat!!!!

This paint is perfect if you want to "modernise" your kitchen cabinets without the huge expense. As you can see these are original 1980s cabinets and are heavily worn. I lightly sanded the cabinets and prepared best I could but working inside a flat left me limited Simply put I didn't have the expenses for a complete kitchen overhaul and this paint offered a good option to at least tidy it up and give it a fresh colour/coat. I found it very easy to apply and it spreads nicely, it also dries quite fast and once cured it leaves a lovely white finish. With a few coats the cabinets really do look fantastic and for the value of this tin, you'd almost think it's been fully refurbished. It'll never replace actually changing the cabinets due to wear, painting environment and overall finish but my word, for £15 it will completely amend the cabinets appearance and add some modern handles, it's a very cheap way to enhance your cabinets. It can literally save you hundreds/thousands compared to a professional job and let's face it, who doesn't need the extra savings? Highly recommend

Good paint my 15 year old kitchen wasn't in too bad condition, I just wanted a new more modern look it certainly did that very pleased with the result.

I wanted to update and freshen up my 1980s wardrobes without the cost of replacing them, it was a long drawn out job, from other reviews and what it said on the tin I thought it would take 3 coats of paint but that was not the case, to get full coverage and an even colour i had to do 7/8 coats of paint (I started to regret my decision at about 5 coats in as you can imagine) , I used a roller as the brush didn't give a good finish and it caused drips in the paint, yes it has freshen them up so I did get the end result I was aiming for but even with that amount of coats of paint re-hanging the doors did cause a few chips and scrapes in the paint which I had to touch up so I wouldnt like to say how long it will look nice for which considering the hours and hours of work i put into the project is disheartening but it was a gamble painting them that it wouldn't be a long term answer, I hoped it would be more durable as the paint is designed specifically for cupboard doors. I haven't tried cleaning it yet so I don't know how it will withstand being cleaned, time will tell. I was happy with the end colour, the more coats I did the more depth of colour I got as it looked more white to begin with and not cream, it took almost 4 tins of paint. I have posted before and after pictures so you can make your own decision on whether you think it's worth all the hard work!
