Valspar Satin Base Cabinet and Furniture Paint Enamel ( 1-gallon )

Worst paint ever!

I painted 10 kitchen chairs with this, hours of work, good prep, 3 coats total and the result is horrible. It feels scratchy and rough to the touch, every fingerprint or smudge shows and it is dull. Not at all what I expected. Sadly I didn't research before purchasing and after reading comments on Reddit and here I see I am not the first person to have this problem. Now I have to start over at expense of $$ but a huge expense of my time. I will not purchase Valspar paint again.

Color is not true black

Bought this to repaint a black dresser and this color is not true black, it is more of a dark grey. If you want true black go to store and have them tint a can to the color you want. I had them tint their base to Valspar tricorn black which is true black and it is much better. Otherwise product is very good.

Worsed paint we ever used

This paint is too thin and does not cover well. We had to put on three coats. In the past we used Sherwin Williams or Behr and always were happy with the results.

7 years and it still looks great

I sanded my cabinets down to the bare wood.l aided a sponge roller and got great results. The original factory color was Jacobean with a high gloss. No chipping, flaking, or worn spots and very smooth with the roller brush app and sanding prep.

Smudge fingerprint

When finished with the cabinet doors and we touched the surface, it leaves a smudge print like sawdust smears. It wipes off with a rag but very visible smudges. Almost like black chalk board paint.

Not an expert, but not a novice.

My experience is with automotive finishes but my wife wanted a white kitchen. The associate at Lowes pointed me toward this instead of regular latex. He claimed it doesn't need primer but I didn't take his word for it. I was covering older stained oak cabinets so I used a shellac based stain hiding primer after cleaning and light sanding. For the doors & drawers I took them down and sprayed them in the shop. I thinned it down for my sprayer and they turned out amazing with 2 coats. Not wan...

Not good

Brand new solid wood table, sanded down. Used the appropriate sealer, waited over 4 hours in-between recoating (2 coats) and the finish is absolutely terrible and splotchy. Used a good quality roller brush. Final coat has sit for over 12 hours and can easily be scratched and scrapped off. a waste of money on brand new wood.

Better than Sherman Williams

I’m not a fan of Valspar interior paint, but I do love this cabinet paint. It goes on thick and smooth with excellent coverage and minimal brush strokes visible. I used the valspar primer underneath.
