What Customers Are Saying

The paint has mixed reviews, with some reporting excellent coverage, durability, and ease of use, while others experienced significant issues. Positive feedback highlights the great color, smooth finish, and good hiding ability. However, many complained about the thin consistency, tendency to run and drip, and poor coverage even with multiple coats. Some also reported peeling and bubbling problems. The performance seems to vary, likely depending on factors like surface preparation and application technique.

Stick with the major brands

Would Not Recommend

This is hands down the worst paint I've used, it goes on clean since it is water based but doesn't cover well at all. Prior to second coat after 16 hours it wants to come off with just a wipe down before second application. I question the durability since I am using it to paint a closet and doors. This was a complete waste of money trying something new. Kilz should stick to what they do best and not put their name on this paint with Joanna Gaines because it SUCKS

Waste of TIME and money!

Would Not Recommend

We really wanted the step stool green color, and *the other big box store* could not access the code, so we ended up buying this magnolia brand paint. I can honestly say I would have chosen a completely different color if I had known how awful this paint would be to work with. I have restored A LOT of furniture, and the premium brand from *the other big box store* has always been my absolute favorite. It’s silky smooth, rarely requires a second coat, and leaves a professional finish. This magnol...

Incredible Result!

Would Recommend

I am just blown away at how wonderful this paint was for my most recent DIY project. I purchased a children's bed and it was the worst colors in my opinion, pink, lime green, and purple. I had a vision and wanted to do my best to paint it and change the look completely to give my kiddo the bed they wanted. It turned out so PERFECT! I used a primer, followed by two coats of the paint using a roller. Thrilled with the result. Would absolutely suggest this paint for your next furniture painting pro...

Disappointed!

Would Not Recommend

I painted me cabinets with this paint and it's already chipping off. I bumped it with a pan and it scrapped off. The normal latex paint I painted with the 1st time stood up better than this. I'm very upset paying 30.00 for a quart of paint that cannot withstand the functions of a kitchen. Won't ever buy again.

Comes off easily

Would Not Recommend

I bought this paint to revamp a bathroom vanity for my Mom. I painted it with several layers after priming it. This paint came off easily at the slightest touch. I won’t use it again.

Worst paint I ever used. DO NOT BUY

Would Not Recommend

First, why does Lowe's allow BLANK reviews of products? This completely skews what a buyer is seeing and it does NOT reflect the real reviews. This kind of thing should be against the law. It is a very deceptive practice. This paint is absolutely horrible. It doesn't coat well at all. Sanded very well, used two coats of Kilz, and this. This...JOKE of a paint product. No matter if the paint is gently stirred, shaken (like the store does when they give it to you), let sit for 2 days, it has ton...

Great furniture paint

Excellent for painting wood furniture. Lots of custom-mixed colors to choose from, except that the story did not have samples of the full range of colors.

turned out nice

I bought this because it's 100% water based acrylic paint which is what I was looking for. I bought a used table & chairs which was painted with oil paint & the chairs were black. i wanted to paint them white. I do not like to paint with oil paint. my biggest complaint is that the paint is thin so it wants to run so you have to be careful to catch the runs before they dry & the front of the can needs to say 100% acrylic paint because its sits next to cabnet paint at lowes that is oil paint. the ...
