When I was painting new interior doors for my house I discovered a technique to help smooth the texture from even a foam roller. After painting each section of a door with a roller I used a misting spray bottle of water and just lightly misted the paint while it was still wet, then I used a very fine two or three-inch brush and went over the paint very lightly with long strokes from one end of the section to the other end. It smoothed the paint almost like glass. The trick I found is a very light misting and very light stroke of a quality brush. Hope this helps someone.

I purchased this 5 years ago to use on my kitchen cabinets. It is great! Covers well and after 5 years there are a few small chips, but it did an amazing job and still looks fresh. I've been planning on doing a round of touch ups. That will probably take about 15 minutes. Great product.

I am a painter. I've not used this particular product, but have used similar.... They do work. BUT. Sanding isn't just for adhesion. It's also to get rid of roughness and remove particles that might have settled into the finish. People, for the love of God, at the very least, wash what you're going to paint with soap and water - sugar soap is better. Sanding doesn't need to be a messy and unpleasant task. We all know the old saying; "you can't polish a turd". If what you want to paint has dents, holes, or is damaged, no amount of paint is going to fix this - only proper prep (filler, repair) will do the trick. But if what you're going to paint is in good condition, sanding it will not take long or make much mess. Use 240 grit sand paper - it feels smooth to the touch, but is perfect for keying in the new paint. A sand paper this light is no harder work to sand with than a sponge is to wipe with. Short nap/pile rollers are for a smooth finish - cabinetry, doors and the like. Rollers with longer nap, like in this video are for walls. The"texture" left by the roller is undesirable to most people. This is also known as stippling or 'orange peel'. The way to minimise this is use less paint on the roller AND do a very light sand between coats (240 grit). The reason the roller was sliding in this video is because there was too much paint on the roller - this happens with any kind of paint. Finally... Do not be scared of oil based paints. They are actually easier to use and give a better, stronger finish. It's also easy to clean up your oil based paints - just use turps. However, water based paints are excellent , and are superior for outdoor use (such as timber homes). As much as we might like, we can not have everything. We can't a have a good, cheap, long lasting, quick, no-prep, paint that has a great finish. It doesn't exist. If you want what you're painting to look nice and last a long time, care enough about it to give it a light sand, use the proper roller, and sand between coats. God bless.

Thanks for the video. I have seen a similar product for fiberglass boats and then I have a tip for you. Before pouring paint up to your paint roller. Pull a plastic bag over the paint tray so you do not have to clean it and the paint can be poured back into the bucket if you have filled the paint tray too much.

I adore this stuff. Like painting with Jello. I have given a second life to so much in my home. Looks gorgeous. I have painted bedside cabinets, two bathroom vanities, the woodwork in a bathroom. Two wooden waste bins, coffee tables and my dining table which I finished with a high gloss sealant. This stuff is nice and thick so did not need to use a drop cloth either. As for clean up, washed brushes in warm soapy water, rinsed well and dried naturally. Great stuff👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I need to paint a dresser and this paint would be good to use. Sponge roller and thinner coats, ppl in the comments are always awesome for critical thinking and experienced advice, but it always starts with a brave person willing to post a video lol.

Wow! I have been putting off doing my bathroom cabinets because I hate sanding, etc. Now I like this! Can't wait to do it.

Love the cabinets! Great job!

Have used a sponge roller with this paint and it gives a smoother finish. Actually done many pieces with the Nantucket color you just used and all have sold. The Poppy and Pewter are also beautiful colors I have used on many projects which also sell well. Love this paint even though it is pricey.

The bumpyness is called "stipple".... The thicker the roller the more of a stipple you'll have. I would use a mohair roller to get a smoother finish.

I used this product for my kitchen cabinets which were Formica. The cabinets had been prepared in advance about 5 years ago and primed and finished with Sherwin Williams best. This held up pretty well but recently within about 9-10 months ago I went over the cleaned surface and applied this product. I can’t be happier especially if you have faced Formica issue yourself. I highly recommend this product for coverage, durability and appearance. For an entire kitchen both upper and lower cabinets I used just under a gallon for two coats. The cost was about $100.00. More than worth the cost when you figure the alternatives. Good video! I wished I’d had videoed my experience. Great job! If I can figure out how to upload a pic of my finished cabinets I will add it soon.

Thank you for your video. I think the finished pieces look great!

Just use Zinsser Bullseye 123 primmer. It will stick to anything. Even glass and ceramic tile. You don't have to sand and then you can use any color paint you want. So it's one more coat not even a heavy coat to make it bond. Then you can use a regular standard paint. Any paint will work with it. Oil or latex. You will save a fortune. And can have any color you like. You can even have the Zinsser tinted to be close to the final color, so if it ever gets scratched. It won't show the white primmer. They also make a gray for covering brite colors.

I think the bumpy texture is from the roller. A sponge roller would work better.

The number one tip for rolling a smooth surface, and trying to get high adhesion and a smooth finish, is very thin coats at first. Had way way way too much paint on the roller. So what happens is is you will get one thick layer to cure together which will easily just peel right back off.

Going to try this on an old desk! Thanks for the demo!

Wow, it's a magic paint that I really want to work with. Thank you sooooooo much for brining it!

Update: I now have had Beyond Paint on my kitchen cabinets for a year, and they look fantastic! I'm so happy with the look. It completely transformed my kitchen. I have had very little scratching (I waited the 30 days until I put the doors back on), and even had my dog try to get food off the island and ran his claws all the way down one and nothing!!! I didn't sand at all. I just removed the doors and cleaned them very well. After 30 days, I put the doors back on and voilà, what an amazing look! I highly recommend Beyond Paint.

I am a painter---ALWAYS USE SOAP and warm water to clean brushes/rollers, i have some that have had for years. Even if it looks clean, use soap, cause microparticles will dry and next time the paint will be harder to come off

I love that color!!

Love this paint. I have used it on forming and ur has worked beautifully! Thank you for the video.

This is awesome !!! Thank you for sharing

Thanks for sharing with us. Great information!!

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I plan to paint my kitchen cabinets this summer and I was dreading the sanding and primer portion of the job. This product is going to save me alot of work!

Lovely ! There are actually quite a few modern paints one will get away with not preparing the surfaces at all. There are a lot of purists objecting to this, however, it's our own homes we are decorating, so we can do exactly what we want to do. And no matter what, the results look much better than what we otherwise never would get around to paint. -I better do my own hallway, it does look a bit tired. Will look for this product 👍

Very informative thanks i need to do my bedroom set over so I’m excited to see a product that will do the work for me

Thank you for making this video. I have a an ugly bookcase I was dreading sanding. This will is the perfect thing I needed. Thanks again.

YES! I redid a whole RV & it worked great!

I bought 3 quarts to do my counter tops thank you for the demonstration I really appreciate it., 🤗❤

Telling you the pewter color absolutely beautiful

Appears to be like Fusion Mineral paint. I am going to give this a try

You need to do a scratch test to see if it bonded properly for durability

You convinced me to paint the cabinets in our summer home instead of buying new ones. Thankyou

Thank you for the video, definitely will try this product on few pieces we have around the house . 👏👏👍👍😊😊

THE MOST INFORMATIVE VIDEO ON THIS SUBJECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so very much for sharing 🙏🏾🌸🌷

Thanks for this test, give me the perfect info to use in small table. 🌷

Thank you for the comparison! And tutorial!

I just used this paint for the first time to paint a bookcase. I only did one coat because I liked the way it looked with a light wood design coming through the poppy/red color paint. And a little goes a long way. I’m loving it right now. Just Clean thoroughly & paint😊. Next...

Thank you for this. I’m about to do a ceiling fan makeover in my entire home. I will definitely be purchasing this 👍🏼

GOD BLESS YOU FOR SHARING, BRAVO!👏🙏🏼🌹

Awesome video! Thank you so much I appreciate the information! Peace ☮️ in abundance

I worked for a professional painter for years, if you rinse your water based paint brushes than use soap to clean them they will come clean every time you use them.

Good job! IMPRESSIVE 🖌😀 Definitely hope to try it out.

❤️ your great, precise and clear video!

I've been looking for a product to paint juvenile chairs for my daycare. I don't want to sand, prime, or pre-treat before I paint, I just don't have the time. But this video has helped me make up my mind and go with it. I just wish he gave us a price. But all in all a great video.

I wonder how a sponge roller would have done for less stippling?

Thanks for sharing! I have kitchen cabinets I am considering painting. With your demo and the comments others have shared, I’m going to check this out. 😊

This is really tempting for stuff that has a lot of curves and niches that are hard to sand.

Thank you for this information,I would like to paint my entertainment center over and was a bit scared to sand such a huge item . This is a awesome option with a very detailed trial and demo,thank you

This is great! I wonder if this will work on a laminate tile floor?

Just saw that in paint department a day ago, you answered all my questions. Thank You.

I appreciated your demonstration…clear communication…demonstrating on two surfaces (sanded and non- sanded).

Thank you for this information I’m gonna try this product

I LOVE this paint! It is expensive but worth every dime. I got 4 - 32x84x17" large cabinets from a Hotel Remodeler. I own a Critter Sprayer, so I thinned the paint a bit with distilled water and sprayed the paint. The finish is flawless. I have used these cabinets as a pantry and craft cabinets every single day for 2 years, no chipping, peeling, or anything else. I did let them sit for awhile before using as I wasn't ready for them. Little sheen, these have a very rich looking luster and are smooth because I sprayed them. I really wish I could post a pic because they are great.

Really clear explanation to understand the process, thank you, I want to work in my night stand an I will take a picture before and after!

Great video. We are planning to paint our kitchen cupboards and I have been watching a few videos about this product. This is a good video and thank you.

Love the idea of no stripping and no sanding! Great info and demo, thanks!

Thanks for sharing!

That looks beautiful. I'm going to have to try it. Thank you.

🤩 Great & very thorough video! Thanks!

Good to know, thanks!

Thanks for that reply...i,m going to give it a try for sure. I like how it looked after it was dry...the finish..

I used on two bathroom vanities! It works great! Follow directions and you will have success! Awesome product!

👍 thanks. I have thinking paint kitchen and bathroom cabinets. You have expanded perfectly mostly covers all my questions. Again thanks

Wow, that's really nice.

A friend just used this in her RV in the living area and kitchen ( walls and cabinets). Then in her bedroom and bathroom used a high quality brand name paint. There’s no comparison. The Beyond Paint is far a beyond the best quality. The other has scratches and coming off but BP is amazing.

Wow. You gave a great narrative. THANKS!!!

Looks awesome from where were watching great work and may God continue to bless you and your family and work.😅😊❤

Y’all are so sweet. Thanks for this. I def wanted to do my research before spending all of this money lol

I had planned on painting my dressers with chalk paint, but I didn’t like the flat finish. I like the eggshell of this one better. Thank you for your honest review.

Great review! Just what I was looking for, thank you.

Wow.. now I can change color all my furniture. Thanks

Would it be bad to use primer on these kinds of paints? Like countertop paint by Rustoleum, same thing? Thanks!

During Christmas Holiday we used this on our kitchen cabinets, and it's now been over 45 days since we painted them. We took our time and followed the prep instructions to the tee, and after 30 days we also applied the Beyond Paint sealer. Unfortunately, I can still scratch the paint/sealer off with no problem. Most of the time the damage takes place at the cabinet knobs when opening them and not paying attention to where your fingernails touch. I would say I am disappointed because a gallon of this paint is over $100 plus, $35 dollars for the Beyond Paint sealer. So now on top of that, I have had to spend over $100 on decorative knob backer plates for all 45 cabinet knobs, just to protect the paint in those areas when opening doors/drawers. 3 years ago we sanded, primed and used a $30 Lowes paint on a bathroom vanity and have had ZERO scratch or durability issues. If I had to do the kitchen cabinets over again, I would have just done that. At this point I just can't recommend this Beyond Paint product....I really wish that I could. I think this is the reason that Beyond Paint turns off comments on some of their videos...although I would certainly welcome any follow up to my experience from Beyond Paint.

Wow! This is what I was looking for to paint my maple cabinets without having to deal with the hassle of the prep-work.

Amazing I’ll looks for this product of paints….thank you so much, most of the I’m always sanding it my furniture? Wow so glad I saw your video 💫🥰💫

Omg I love it this is awesome must be expensive. Will try. Thank you .❤

Looks like Devflex which came out in 1997. You could put it on any surface, unsanded old oil gloss marine paint, glass, metal. 50 or 70 percent solids, 1 coat, 7 days to fully cure to scratch resistance. It was extremely flexible. You could paint a sheet of aluminum foil and wrinkle up and smooth out without cracking. Extremely water resistant, so much so that you want to recoat the same day, else the second coat can fisheye. It was an ici product, which is now owned by ppg, who incidentally make home depot paint. The devcryl resin in it hit the open market in 2012, and Sherwin-Williams uses a touch of it in their multisurface pro, which is like Devflex lite. It even smells the same..... If you epoxy prime, convert your rust or bare metal, it made a rust resistant paint that would outlast Rustoleum 3 x longer.

Wow! you guys did a great job. Thanks for critiquing this paint!!

It's already so clean

Thanks a lot cfldriven for your effort and sharing this very important thing about painting woods.

Good video but... I could use probably a number of "normal water based paints" and get a similar looking result, but what I'm interestested in (and was waiting for) is how well it bonds to the material. I'd really be curious to see the results on kitchen and bathroom countertops.

I definitely will try this products thanks for video 👍

I have a small A Frame camper and I HATE the counter tops. I have been researching and I think this is the product I am going to use :) Thanks for the video!

I have been using a foam roller on my cabinets which we started a week ago and there is less "bumpiness" or dimpled texture than with the fabric roller. The texture flattens out with the foam roller as it dries. Also it's important to let cabinets and high use furniture cure 30 days before returning them to use.

Great! I have an old desk that needs a face lift and this will be perfect, b/c I don't have to sand it. Thank you very much for sharing.

I used this product and loved it!!! Very durable! I did bathroom cabinets!!! Mine was $100 a gallon! It’s thick like pudding so don’t need to use much!!! I was impressed!

Great video. Just what I was looking for. Thank you.

wrong roller. gotta use a sponge roller for smooth finish.

This came just in time! I was thinking about the best way to give an outdated curio a new look. My only issue now, is choosing the color. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏾👍🏾

Great review! Thanks 😊

just ordered some today. can't wait to see how my end tables turn out.

The issue is too much paint on the roller, just do a light application then another light one, no need to wait to dry. When you read “only one coat” that’s not necessarily the best way to go if you want a good more clean finish. But I like the product I will try it thanks!

I believe you should use a foam roller for the smooth finish

Thank you this is good to know ! Appreciate this experience ❤

I have a wood coffee table-super cute-maybe maple? From kind of the early American era? With that kind of finish on it. Have only used chalk paint once. Was thinking about using that again until I saw this! I love how thick it is! The legs on my table are Queen Anne and not looking forward to doing that-but ESPECIALLY wasn’t looking forward to the light sand prior! But this paint looks awesome! And I appreciate peoples input about what roller and maybe a brush only for wood? I want as smooth of a finish as possible. Love this color! Looks like Rest Hardwares Silver Sage. My favorite color ever!

Very informative! Theres a few tables i want to paint but have been too lazy to do any sanding! Lol but this seems to really work AND comes in rose gold pink! Uve inspired me to buy this product for my own projects! :)

Has anyone tried this on top of thermafoil cabinets? If so, how durable is it? Thanks all!

I just bought the white paint to do a small dresser. Can't wait to see the results.

Wow!! I have stuff I can try this on thank you!!!
