Yup, I’m hooked. I am the worst painter and with a sponge brush, there were no lines. My husband is a builder and hates when I paint because he feels it is a reflection on him when people come in the house. BUT if I waited for him to paint, forget it. So I paint sometimes. I’ve gotten better but still not up to his standards. Also, he has been opposed to all this chalk paint DIY that’s been the new rage, he was so opposed to anything that would chip off or need yearly waxing. He’s just all about his Ben Moore. Anyway, I had an awful vanity that needs to be replaced. It’s the type that is surfaced in that wood look shiny paper. We aren’t replacing until next year and I hate looking at the eyesore when the rest of the bathroom is so nice and done. I said, screw it, I can’t make it worse, so I informed him I was going to try chalk paint. His response was fine, at least we can wash it off before it cures when you realize how bad it will look. So I set out, fully prepared that he would be disappointed, lol but what the heck, try new things. First off, my vanity was NOT the ideal surface for painting and even less ideal probably for chalk paint. Completely non porous. I degreased as recommended. So it took me at least 4 coats to cover because of the surface material (slick, paint doesn’t absorb). For reference, I painted a small wood item, too - a tissue box - and it looked great from coat one and the second coat was perfection. So it’s all about the surface when it comes to coats. Anyway, when I was done, my husband came in and said - wow - that’s the best paint job you’ve ever done. LoL. Funny, because I literally was SO messy doing this. It was Friday, working from my home office on quarantine, and there was a bottle of wine involved (it was a stressful work from home day full of COVID related complications at work, we are in an epi-center and that day really sucked for someone to working in HR in an essential industry). I was basically hitting it every 2 hours (the wine and the painting), breaking all the rules of painting, just to get away from my desk. But it was my best work ever, according to him, haha. And it really DOES look good - it almost looks sprayed on. I cannot take the credit for that, at all - this was not skill, this was entirely product!! So smooth. And the color is GREAT! Highly pigmented, Abbey is a perfect dark greige (is it brown, is it charcoal - who knows?! It works great with our weather barnwood and transitional/loft style master bath decor). Very easy clean up, too - again, I was drinking wine and by coat 3, I was really not caring about coloring inside the lines. Cleaned right up from the white tile and white painted walls, no staining. I mean, I don’t recommend being as careless as I was, I’m just saying that a wayward drop of paint didn’t destroy what it landed on, and I didn’t have to prep for protection anywhere near what I do with latex. And it dries super fast (yet didn’t dry out in the paint tin I was using for application).The only downside - and it’s probably mostly to do with the surface material, 100% - easy to chip in spots. Again, considering the surface material will not grip it like a wood, that’s not the paints fault. What I did was to hit it that weekend with 3 coats of General Finishes flat top coat (that’s the good stuff and highly recommended by woodworkers as a top coat and reviewed as best overall top coat for chalk paint - speciality item, won’t find it at Home Depot). I spent the extra $ on it because I was so happy with my cheap little chalk paint job that I wanted to give it respect! Haha, true though - I want to keep it looking as good as it does. So while you are supposed to not need a wax or a top coat, I did use one - but you may not need one on a better surface. I am using the rest of my paint to do a porous wood hamper - I may not need a top coat with the wax built into this product and a surface that will accept paint.Anyway back to my builder husband. Mind you, when I say builder, he builds million dollar homes and multi-million dollar remodels in the Boston area. Best quality of everything for these people, we’re talking $1000 shower heads. Ya, I know, you’d think I wouldn’t be refinishing a crappy $200 vanity in my own home, but that’s how it goes with someone who doesn’t want to work when they get home from work and I have to force to be house-proud. He can build amazing things but he could care less about whether his home decor is outdated from 30 years ago. Anyway, he has decided that he is going to chalk paint our sleigh bed and bureaus now. He’s going to do it because even though my work was “great”, imagine how great it will be if he does it (he’s not wrong, just a little full of himself lol). I wanted to buy a new set and I still do, but at least now our old one will match the master remodel we are finishing up until I can get one. It won’t be an eyesore to me every time I walk in the finished room and think about how I have to wait to replace it. We’re going to try antiquing this time for a weather look. I’m sure it will be lovely.Anyway, if you’re thinking about diving into chalk paint, I recommend this brand very much. I’m not sure I would have had the same experience with other brands that seem to have a lot more of a learning curve and a lot more steps involved. Plus Heritage has a ton of examples on their website to give you inspiration. I may even try their gel stain next (just wish they still offered it in Carbon, what’s up with only the one color, Heritage?). I may even join their monthly club for the new colors. Lots of fun, I’m seeing a lot of projects with this product!!

This paint has been a lifesaver! It makes painting walls and cabinets so much easier, with smooth coverage and a beautiful finish. The quality is excellent—low odor, easy to apply, and quick to clean up. I love that it’s durable and versatile enough for both furniture and home projects. Definitely worth it if you want a high-quality paint that simplifies the job!

Easiest paint I've worked with by far. It provided good coverage with a good quality foam roller on my sanded old oak table top. I used three coats for depth. It was quick drying and ready to repaint in two hours. It has a nice soft matte sheen that hides many flaws and reduces the appearance of the repaired crack so that I can use the bare table again with a runner. Look at the image of the kitchen with the color applied before buying. I chose Abbey and got gray-brown instead of off-black. My mistake, but I like the results anyway.

Best paint ever! Finally talked my husband into painting our cabinets after watching a YouTube video on this paint. Yes it’s expensive, but no sanding and no primer required - the primer is built in, just clean/degrease/deglosser with rough pad such as Scot-Brite. We used TSP cleaner from Lowe’s. We went from dark ugly brown to Almond so it did take three coats. Probably could have gotten by with two, but the third coat made the cabinets look magnificent. Lots of work; we took our time and did two or three cabinets a day. We used flocked 4 inch rollers, the sponge rollers didn’t give the finish we wanted. One thing we learned- the first cost doesn’t need to be perfect(which it won’t be) and the second cost needs to be as perfect as possible, the third coat just finished it off. Very pleased with the results. We also did our bathroom vanities. Have had three different people ask if we would do theirs……lol nope!!

This came out so nice. I got the simply sage and I really appreciate the primer and paint together. The simply Sage is like a light country sage color. It’s a very beautiful comforting, open, breezy, healing color. One coat covered most of it. It took two coats. This hope chest was a very dark brown. I did not sand or do anything to it. I just painted right over it. So this is an in progress project, but this is where I’m at right now. I’m so happy with this product. I’m coming back to buy more colors for other projects. Well worth the purchase and also this paint dried very quick. Even before I was finished painting the first coat, the other parts of the chest were already dry. So it did not take me long to paint it.

The color effects the quality IMMENSELY. I have used both Capri and Cashmere. Capri is absolutely fabulous, great color, great coverage, great pigment. Cashmere has more of a glaze effect, terrible coverage, multiple coats needed even when covering white. Capri is a super smooth finish that looks like a powder coat. Cashmere is more of a super thin chalky finish that never really covers fully. Both paints are super durable, Capri being more hardy than the Cashmere. I did cabinets in a bathroom and kitche with both and also an interior door with Cashmere. I'm 3 coats in on the door and it's still blotchy and thin looking. I recommend the deep colors, cannot recommend Cashmere

Super easy to use, you don't need much paint (even with the 2 coats). I covered 3 wide sink vanities, and used only 1 can per bathroom (with leftover paint). I used both the "Oxford" and "Iron Gate" colors. The black (Iron Gate) was a bit of a different texture than the Oxford and was a bit difficult to use. It dries fast so I had to paint those huge vanities as fast as I could. Regardless, they both have a great/smooth finish and look/sheen to it. Really amped up my boys' bathroom and my primary bathroom! I've added before/after photos. The MirrorMate mirror frames, new hardware/lighting/faucets really added a fab look for little cost!
