BEYOND PAINT - Furniture, Cabinets and More All-in-One Refinishing Paint Quart- Color: Linen

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!!!

Over the years I’ve used different methods to cover my odd shaped spa. 2 years ago, I tried Owens Corning FOAMULAR NGX F-250 2 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. Rigid Foam Board Insulation. This stands up really well to the elements but needed a bottom. Earlier this year I used wood glue to attach many 24 in X 24 in interlocking gym floor tiles to the underside. The top needed beauty and protection. Beyond Paint worked extremely well for this project. The paint itself is very thick and concentrated. I used a spray bottle with filtered water to keep the brush and roller wet when applying. The paint went a lot further than I thought, one quart did it all, both panels. I did 4 thin coats and sanded between coats. The foam board had been outdoors and been through every weather condition and the surface had become rough. There was no way to sandpaper the foam but when it was painted with Beyond Paint, only then could I actually sand it smooth. The paint dries faster than I wanted. It has no smell and is washable if you get it on other objects. The only issue that I had with the paint was that it covered the ink and writing on the surface, but it didn’t cover the pressed in impression of the Owens Corning panther cartoon logo. Evidentially just printing the logo on the foam wasn’t enough, they had to mash it into the surface. But luckily the Fleck came to the rescue. It really hides the imperfections in the foam board. Very, very impressed. The fleck is made up of different size, very flat, crisp pieces. The smaller fleck particles rush out of the shaker first. Then the larger pieces come later. If I had any complaint about this product, it would be the fleck shaker. Luckily spraying water on the final coat of Beyond Paint helped me go back to previously flecked areas and use up the entire container of fleck. So that all of the pieces, large and small were mostly distributed evenly. After the fleck was settled and the paint was completely dry to the touch, the directions call for sanding the fleck smooth. I was afraid to do this, scratch up such a beautiful surface, and I had already sanded between paint coats. So, I decided to only use a damp cotton cloth to rub the fleck surface smooth. This worked very well for me. The Beyond Paint sealer is also a very serious product. It also has no smell and dries very quickly. I poured a little of the sealer onto the surface and spread it around very forcefully in every direction. The sealer does not wash off of anything easily at all. I was using latex gloves and when I went to take them off, I realized that 2 fingers had gotten sealer on them. I might as well have had Gorilla Glue on my fingers because it does not wash off at all. I got scared there for a minute. But luckily it came off with a lot of time and effort in the sink. I only used ¾ of the sealer container to coat both foam boards twice. I’m very happy with this project and I recommend to all. Everything came out better than I thought in a very short period of time. Waiting to see how Beyond Paint handles ice and snow. Everything in this project is available for purchase on my favorite project website Amazon.com.

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.

I would highly recommend this product because it does it all. It saved me so much time and work when painting furniture. The paint applies really well so you don’t have to be an expert and the results are great. Nice even finish.

The first paint I purchased was amazing. This is more like a diluted mix. Terrible

Good product

Best paint I’ve ever used. Spreads so far. Great result.

Painted several tables and dressers with it over a year ago...still looks great.
