INSL-X CC550109A-01 Cabinet Coat Enamel, Satin Sheen Paint, 1 Gallon, White, 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

I painted some bathroom cabinets that were starting to look pretty sorry. I gave them a light sanding, filled a few imperfections, and put two coats of InsulX on with a brush (doors and drawers were removed and painted separately from the cabinets).I could not be happier with the results. Two coats gave it a satin, factory-like finish. Everything leveled perfectly, and everything dried quickly. I left the doors and drawers to dry overnight in the garage. InsulX is an outstanding product and I'm already eyeing another painting project.

The process:Decide where to start.In total I have 25 doors, 7 drawers, the outsides of the boxes, several overhead railings, and 2 valences to paint, I made space to lay out and paint 7 doors at a time. Everything else can be painted in place.7 amRemoved the hinges and pulls and taped places I didn’t want paint.Washed 7 of the the doors, their boxes and 4 drawers with degreaser, wiped dry.Applied liquid sander, let it do its magic for 15 minutes, wiped with damp cloth, driedSanded all lightly with 220 grit sandpaper, wiped with damp cloth, dried. I laid out the doors in my paint area and to make painting the sides easier I set 1” blocks ( rolls of tape or small boxes work) under the doors on my paint table.8 amUsing a sponge roller and a 1” paint brush I applied a thin coat of INSL-X cabinet coat, do NOT over paint.After 2 hours I flipped the doors over and painted the insides.I let dry a total of 6 hours, and tried to not panic because everything looked pretty streaky. I checked for drips and sanded lightly where necessary then wiped.2 pmRepeated with a second thin coat of INSL-X cabinet coat to everything, after 2 hours flipped the doors over and painted the insides. Waited a total of 6 hours. The old laminate cabinets were now looking better but, now for the magic…8 pmI applied a third coat!Next morning I Installed new handles, hung the doors and voilà a jaw dropping start to my new kitchen.I was able to complete 7 doors, 4 drawers and the boxes all in one day.I planned to use a protective Polycrylic high gloss coat but they look so darned good I decided to forego the gloss.INSL-X cabinet paint worked complete magic on my laminate cabinets.One gallon will be more then sufficient to paint all of my kitchen laminated surfaces.Highly recommend.

New cabinets are EXPENSIVE! I read several reviews on different cabinet paints before buying this. They came out GREAT. You MUST do your prep work first and make sure you cabinets are cleaned of all the old kitchen grease and grime. But if you do it right, your cabinets will come out looking almost as good as new!

This has good coverage it did take me about three-four coats on my very old kitchen cabinets but the finish is great. It’s not too thick and application was easy. A whole gallon did my whole kitchen and the vanity in the upstairs bathroom great value for the money.

I used this cabinet reconstruction on oak cabinets and here’s what I found:1-While it recommends 1 to 2 coats of paint, I ended up using 4 coats for the cabinets using a 5” nap roller and a paint brush for the harder to reach corners to not have any see through oak color.2-The instructions recommend light coats. I tried both light coats and heavy coats and there was no noticeable difference in quality.3-Sandind was also recommended. While I did sand before applying the paint for the paint to have a rough surface to adhere to, I did not sand after painting each of the 4 coats. There was no difference, in my opinion, in aesthetics.4-The other instructions such as drying time did apply as recommended.Overall, this cabinet paint met my expectations and looks incredible. It costs so much less through Amazon rather than the big box stores.

Good coverage, fast drying, Good quality

Very good product, I have purchased before.

This paint works well for covering laminate cabinets. It applies very thin. Don’t be deceived by the first coat. It thins out quite a bit after it dries. Took between 4-5 coats to get good coverage over my laminate, which was smooth finish dark wood grain. I ordered 2 gallons to do all kitchen cabinets and a large L shaped island. Only used 1 gallon. I did little to no prep sanding, only thorough cleaning/degreasing and this paint adhered well. Good product, recommend.
