Johnstone's 390290 Cupboard Paint Pale Gray 750 ml

Covers well and leaves a great finish. Pretty durable too so far. Tried a few cupboard paints over last few years and this is the best by miles. No primer needed and went straight on melamine. Leaving no textyre when used with a foam roller.

Used this paint on Howdens Greenwich doors and it did a fantastic job.Sand down the surfaces first to provide a 'key' and then use a small 5'' sponge roller.It needed 2 coats but finish was fabulous.I'd recommend this paint

Have been using johnstones paint for years,wouldn't use anything else. Easy to apply,quick drying and a beautiful finish .

So my kitchen cupboards covering was breaking away so I decided to strip it off back to the original MDF. What I loved about this paint is no primer was needed which was a bonus. I went for the pale grey, I did like the dark grey but I was afraid it would make my kitchen look too dark, I wish there was a in-between colour. Never the less this came out really nice. I did think of my kids mucky hands with a pale grey. I applied 2 coats of this paint and it looked great but beware any dried runs will stand out like a sore thumb. It was annoying as I needed 2 pots but only a quarter of the 2nd pot.After I finished I noticed as lovely as this paint job looked it chips off way to easy so I opted for a varnish. I used Rustins Quick Dry Polyurethane Varnish Matt Clear 1L but 1l is way too much only used around a quarter of that as you need to put this on really thin, I did 2 coats again this is low odour fast drying also but there is a smell to this varnish for a few days but it's bearable. This seems to have done the job and made it look and feel way more durable. Would I recommend this paint yes it saved me a fortune on new cupboard doors, just take your time on the paint job it worth it. It's dries so fast and doesn't smell much which is what we all want. Hopefully I can make use of the left over paint and varnish one day 👍

The plastic covering on several of the kitchen cupboards had cracked and was peeling but, i didn't want to invest in a new kitchen. Decided to give this paint a try and I am very happy with it. I peeled off the old plastic and didn't do any other preparation just painted. Easy to apply, dries quickly and covers well. Not always the smoothest finish due to lack of preparation. Where there was a cut edge to the MDF several coats were needed. I also painted the trims and cupboard edges, being still plastic a couple of coats were needed for complete coverage. For less than £30 I have a smart looking kitchen that I am happy with.
