Pints, Quarts & Gallons

We have laminate wood cabinets in our kitchen that were in good shape but due for an updated look. We had never used or heard of Beyond Paint before, but after looking into what paints would work well for laminate wood, we came across Beyond Paint and decided to give it a try. We did not want to have to mess with sanding or priming.We did a good amount of online research about the paint before starting the job. Most of what we read said do not take shortcuts with this paint or it won’t work the way that it’s intended to. We followed the instructions to a tee and it came out great for us. We used Simple Green to clean all of the surfaces and let it dry for at least 24 hrs before painting. We took apart our door/drawer faces and shelves and painted them separately. After applying the first coat, we let it dry for at least a few hours before applying the second coat (2 coats was enough). If I recall correctly, the instructions say to give it ~5 days to set, and then 30 days to fully cure. We did wait the full 5 days before turning the door/drawer faces and shelves over to paint the other side, and we used the time in between to tackle the body of the cabinets.I will say that we thought this job would go a little faster than it did, but we also followed the instructions closely with the drying times so it ended up taking a little longer (we also work full time jobs, so this was an evenings and weekends job for us). On our last set of door/drawer faces, we got impatient and installed them back in before the 5 days had passed, and the paint did chip a little in that process. It was not very much or noticeable, so we were able to easily patch it up and it still looks great.This paint is very thick and a little goes a long way, but I would recommend purchasing more than you think you need. Based on the coverage recommendations, we bought 2 quart size, but should have just went with a gallon because we ended up needing to order more.It has been about 6 months and the paint has held up great so far. We have gotten many compliments and even some people have assumed it was a professional job! We keep the cabinets clean by wiping them with either a sponge or soft cloth. All in all I would definitely recommend this paint. It is a bit pricey, but it is so easy to apply and cuts out alot of extra steps. I would recommend following the instructions as they are written and buying the brushes and rollers that Beyond Paint says to use. If you are working with a grooved surface (like a cabinet door), I would also recommend watching a couple of videos on YouTube to see how people apply the paint with the brushes and rollers. It is easy to do, but I did find that the tips from the videos were useful and made the final dried look come out nice and smooth. And definitely don’t skip the recommended drying times!!!

I’d seen many YouTube videos showing the application of Beyond Paint on furniture, cabinets and cupboards and even tile floors.I’ve got an almond-coloured, old tub surround in my shower. I followed the directions for proper application and got to work. I bought the white colour option.This is the only bathroom in my home, so I was really hoping that this product would work. I used a small brush for the corners and beveled areas, and used a small foam roller for the larger areas. I applied 2 coats, waiting 24 hours between each application. Application should be reasonably light. Watch a few YouTube videos - they were very helpful.This photo shows a before and after. You really can’t tell that the tub surround was painted - it just looks brand new. There are no brush or roller marks. This is not a high-gloss finish. We may apply a sealant down the line, but it looks beautiful without one.I highly recommend this product. Yes, it costs more, but it also saves a lot of effort in not having to sand the entire area. I’m no longer able to do a lot of physical work, so this was well worth the cost to me.There was minimal odor from the product and clean-up was just with water.If you’ve been on the fence, I say give this a try. You will most-likely love Beyond Paint too.

Loved this paint easy to use but what looks like in photo and the color description is totally off a nothing to do w monitors. Totally dull mustard nothing about it says “butter”or buttercream. I’d be upset if it wasn’t better than what was there but I was looking for the soft yellow it appears to be by name as well as image.

Helped me renovate an old bathroom vanity in one day without the mess of stripping or sanding down old varnish. The formula is thicker and tackier than latex paint which was helpful for smoothing over old nicks and scratches.For the first layer, I used a small synthetic paint brush on the tight corners & edges of molding then went over it immediately with a 3" microfiber roller for the most uniform finish. It dries pretty quickly, but I'd still recommend waiting 2-4 hours before adding a second coat to avoid any lifting. I used less for the second coat but applied a little more pressure & more passes/rolls to get a smooth & uniform texture.BONUS! Ended up with a LOT of extra paint for other projects. For reference, their website recommends a quart to do a bathroom vanity, but I ended up using less than a pint for both a 24" x 18" vanity and step ladder (2 coats each).TIP 1: Clean surfaces with 90% isopropyl alcohol to get rid of any dirt & grease before applying the first layer. I was a little lax on the ladder and noticed the paint wouldn't stick to the parts I didn't clean.TIP 2: Smooth out any drip marks before the paint dries. I used just the tips of my brush to gently "stipple" away the excess.
