Rust-Oleum 372011 Transformations Basics Cabinet & Trim Paint, Quart, Espresso

If you are looking for black black, this is not it. If I need to name this color, it would be charcoal black (It have a gray undertone). However, I gave it 5 stars because the color look better than black on my cabinet. It look more modern, which I was trying to do. When I tried to fix my black door, it did not look very good because of the color, it was not black enough. So, if you are buying this to patch a black something, it may not work for you.

Brush marks come together. Beautiful clean finish

I gave it 5 because for a trim paint it is nice and thick easy to apply without dripping. However, I still prefer the espresso bean I have used in the past because this paint is more of a reddish brown and I prefer a darker brown trim without a red undertone. I did use it to touch up my bathroom cabinet.

I wanted to LOVE this stuff. And don’t get me wrong, I like it and I don’t regret it, it was definitely WAY cheaper than getting new cabinets. It made my space look brand new, it’s easy to wipe off if something splashes/drips onto it, it was super easy to work with, easy to clean up.It’s just not very durable. It’s pretty easy to scratch. Maybe I needed more coats? Or more dry time?Anyway, it’s worth it, maybe let it dry longer than a day before you put it back into use. Maybe do a better job prepping the surface than I did (confession, I just wiped them off with Clorox wipes, didn’t sand them), follow directions, and you’ll be good to go

This particular paint in white is horrible. I won’t speak for other colors because they could be much better. However the white is essentially useless. We were attempting to use it to paint our solid wood hand railings. We weren’t using this white paint to paint over a solid black wall, or anything crazy. Just bare wood. All the wood was properly prepped in advance, but it didn’t matter. Long story short after 3 coats on our test section we were certain that we’d need to use a different paint, as you could still clearly see right through it. However, I decided to keep applying coats on a small section just to see how many it would take to fully cover the wood. I gave up after the 5th coat of paint, and while after 5 coats it could have probably passed a quick glance, if you look closely you can still see areas with the wood showing through.We ended up buying a different brand of paint, which was able to do the trick for all of the railings in the house in only two coats.

I used this product to paint the legs of my stool I love itI did no prep work I just painted 2 coats than I distressed it I like that and that was allEasy to work with and still doing other jobs good quality good value

I initially used a gray stain for this piece of furniture and hated the outcome. I Was relieved to find this rust oleum cabinet paint that I could use over the oil base finish I had just applied the week prior. I didn’t want to sand the whole thing down again. I did run some light grit sandpaper over it briefly And took my chances with the paint and was super impressed and satisfied with the finish. I could imagine just how much more beautiful it would look If I had applied it over the initially.

I just painted my piece, using a primer first. So far, the results are okay, but after two days, my piece still feels slightly tacky. If it gets better, I will come back with an update.
