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.

Left streaks after primer and 2 coats

Would Not Recommend

This could be user error, but I followed all of the instructions to include priming with KILLZ first. After two coats, it still has not covered and there are streaks. If you try to go back and add extra paint, it clumps up. I used a different brand on my kitchen cabinets and it worked perfectly. I’m just not sure why this turned out so horrible.

Love this paint! I painted a bookshelf in my school office that needed an update. The paint mixed well- and the color was uniform at application. The paint covered the old surface well. I did add a second coat just for wear and tear, but I could have just put on one. The coverage was smooth, no clumps and went on very even. The color dried exactly to the shade I expected. I would suggest this paint to anyone and everyone!

Great coverage and fast drying

Would Recommend

The Kilz Magnolia Home cabinetry and furniture paint is some of the smoothest applying product I’ve ever used. It was very easy to apply and went on with the brush and roller quite nicely. Even though it is cabinetry/furniture paint, I used it to cover two accent walls in the bathroom. The bathroom was a lighter, gray color and two coats completely covered the gray with a nice white finish. The product dries very quick. It is recommended to prime first, and even on the can, they tell you that it...

High quality paint in a luxury color.

Would Recommend

I tested this paint on a 1x6 pine board that I plan to use as flooring in the spare room. It seemed a little sticky, but went on quick and evenly. The color is excellent, a darker gray with a hint of slate blue - not a shade I have seen before. It dried quicker than I thought - its 73 degrees outside with humidity of 70%, but it was dry to the touch in just a few minutes. The cans opened up easily and closed just as well. Odor was minimal, I really didn't even notice it. Clean up was easy with j...

High quality paint, excellent color and coverage.

Would Recommend

I tested this paint on a 1x6 pine board that I plan to use as flooring in the spare room. It seemed a little sticky, but went on quick and evenly. I wiped half the board with paper towel to get a whitewashed or stained effect. I also used it over another color (Duke Gray) with dry brush and also as a wipe. I really like the whitewashed look as well as the wipe over the gray. The color is a nice soothing white without being glaring. It dried quicker than I thought - its 73 degrees outside with hu...

Smooth, full color, nice paint.

Would Recommend

Just like the picture. Opened the can and the paint is smooth and thick. I cannot wait to use it. I just got out of the hospital and have a small project for this week.

Smooth, true color, thick, great paint.

True color, nice and thick and smooth to apply. I just got out of the hospital and plan to use it on the basket (picture) this week. Follow up pictures of the project to follow. Then I am painting a table. Got to get well first.

Impressive Paint

Would Recommend

I used this to paint a small wooden table and was impressed with how great it turned out. The paint applies evenly and I didn't see any brush strokes - which is exactly what you want from a furniture paint. It also acts as a primer so you don't need much. One coat almost did the job completely for me and I only needed to go back over a few places with the second coat. The color is a greenish teal and less "gray" than the name implies. Great product for giving new life to your furniture!

Amazing paint in the right color!

Would Recommend

One word - Amazing! I was looking for this color for a while and tried several other paint products only to be disappointed. This paint covers amazingly well and flattens out well. Would recommend for a wall or furniture, or even a cabinet.

Another Great product from KILZ Paints

Would Recommend

KILZ Paints are quickly becoming my go to paint and primer for general projects and painting. Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines Cabinetry & Furniture Paint, Satin - True White, Gallon covered up the old finish on my kid’s dresser no problem. All I did prior to painting was clean the surface and lightly sand the old paint job. The KILZ Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines Cabinetry & Furniture Paint went on easily with a brush or roller and dried to a nice finish. I will be trying it in the near future on...

Beautiful Gray Paint for furniture or cabinets

Would Recommend

This is a nice gray hue with a subtle blue tone. Probably too dark for entire rooms walls (unless you’re going to dark vibes), but excellent for smaller items. I will end up pairing some kitchen cabinets for my shop room in this tone, but for now I just tried a swatch on the back of the door.

Nice, high quality paint

Would Recommend

I tested this Magnolia Home Cabinet and Furniture paint from KILZ on the vinyl covered cabinets in our travel trailer. I first primed the cabinet area wilt KILZ Adhesion paint to insure the final paint will stick. I then laid down a coat of the Magnolia Home paint. It went on very smoothly using both a paint brush and roller. Cleanup was as easy as with any other water base paint. Since I was painting over darker cabinets, it will take a second coat to completely hide the base color. I hav...

Great

Would Recommend

Love the quality of the paint (no question) however two things that you must be aware of. 1- you will need more than one coat per surface which isn’t a problem but something to be aware of. 2- you may find the fumes on the higher end of the scale. So make sure to paint in a well ventilated area or wear a good respirator.

Glossier than expected.

Would Recommend

This is a nice can of paint. It is easily applied with either a brush or roller and the cleanup is easy with water. It took a few coats to get the coverage I wanted and the dry sheen is a little glossier than I was expecting but overall a nice paint.

Went on easy!

Would Recommend

I was excited to try this furniture paint. I have never painted any furniture and I thought this would be a good paint to start with. I did use primer on my project before using the paint. When it came to painting, the paint went on with no issues. It went on very smooth and there were no streaks. I was pleasantly surprised on how easy it was to use. I did put 2 coats of paint on my piece and it still looked good. The color is a true match and it is very versatile.

Beautiful color!

Would Recommend

I used this for a wall that I just didn't know what to do with. The color was beautiful and easy to apply. I had to use two coats, but the previous color was dark and I didn't bother to prime, so this worked fine. I thought it would lighten as it dried, but it did not, so it was a little darker than expected, but I ended up loving it anyway.
