Angela Lloyd yes Fusion is the same way and that is the trick!

@@BorninaBarnBoutique I do the same with gesso, mod podge, and all my other mediums. Saves a lot of frustration. 😉

They’ve recently changed the packaging. Not a problem anymore

Good information

@@karenwhite1265 thank you for the update

That's awesome to hear! I am so glad you are happy with the end result and they way it is holding up! It's a good paint!

I want to paint my leather couch but I am terrified that I will hate it! my major concern is that the leather will feel stiff and look painted! I am also concerned that it will crack or eventually rub off. I know I'm expecting a lot, but I would rather know than go ahead blindly and regret my decision. Please respond. Thanks!

@@edmurphymurphy6810 You just need to clean off any body oils well. I used the HTP deglosser, but you can use non acetone nail polish remover. I sit in my recliner daily and it looks and feels just as soft and supple as the original leather and does not crack or get sticky. I have now painted 5 chairs. The leather and fabric desk chair is used by my son 8 or more hours a day. He does online education and is NOT easy on furniture and it has held up for over 10 months with zero signs of paint failure.

How did your cabinets hold up?

@@annlindstrom8365 They are still beautiful! No cracking, peeling, fading, etc.

Yes, yes yes!!! And don’t worry about brush strokes, that’s why you stipple

Blessed and Favored Your so welcome! Thank you for watching! ❤️

I’m so glad too! Thank you for watching! I have another one coming this week! 😀

Your so welcome! Thank you for watching!

That’s awesome glad you love it!

Yes they do have their own method, I have tried it and it works well, I just wanted to do a traditional brush for the review. It is a good paint, I agree! 😀

You bet! Happy Painting!

YES!!! IT IS AMAZING!

It goes a long way!! A sample size can cover 2 coats for your front door. Or a piece of furniture. A bathroom vanity. So cool!

Genna25 thank you - yes it is such a beautiful color!

Bahama Mama That’s awesome, I love hearing about good experiences! Thank you for sharing!

Joe Gold The brand calls this a self leveling paint, there are many brands that claim the same thing. When applied correctly (more wet than dry) the paint levels itself out evenly as it dries, help leveling out brush strokes and drying evenly to create a smooth finish.

@@joegold9280 Of course!

Can you please tell me how the paint has held up? I’m thinking of doing my kitchen cabinets and I can’t find an unbiased opinion of anyone that has used this. I’m concerned how it holds up, to daily use of drawers and doors. Thank you!

Actually you fully load a brush as this is self-leveling. You paint a small area, then stipple with a smooth sponge to remove brush strokes. It drys quickly, so they recommend not doing this with a ceiling fan or vent on in the room. Also recommend doing this inside and not out, such as a garage. Do the same for the 2nd coat.

Thank you so much! I am glad they are helpful. Yes Country Chic a review video on the channel and Wise Owl I just ordered yesterday - so that one will be coming soon!

Everyone has their preference and technique, If I am not spraying, I use a good synthetic brush. When sanding in between coats, you want to go with a sanding pad, not paper - they make fine and extra fine, just enough to knock down any roughness. I love these - amzn.to/3ECLXbn

Thank you for watching! do - I like Annie Sloan, but I use her paint now just for blending projects. Have fun with your project

Don’t do it I either got old paint or it’s just junk does not adhere well and the satin finish makes it yellow

Of course! Thank you! It’s Jane Irredale lip fixation in Craving!

@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thank you for taking the time to help a girl out! :)

Angela Lloyd I have never heard of that store - I love the name!

Roman Valiouline my personal opinion - prime. Whites over a dark base without primer will use a lot of the paint to get good coverage.

Make sure you degloss with either their deglosser or liquid sandpaper like from HD. one you do not have to rinse off. Let it dry. This rough up surface to give paint something to grab onto. and you can prime with water based primer...probably more economical than 3-4 coats of white like Cashmere. I'm doing my yucky 60s yellowish tile in Cashmere. Paula the developer of the paint said it should only take 2 coats with maybe some touch ups in the grout areas. A sample jar can do a pretty decent sized dresser or a front door 2 coats (with left over paint) or even a bathrooom vanity. Did you get the free sample?..one per household!Just pay the shipping. Can you tell I am excited about this paint! And sooo many beautiful colors! I'm doing my BA vanity in Mediterranean today as a matter of fact! Lol then the tile in Cashmere and my linoleum floor in Colosseum and either stenciling it or doing the marbling techniques. Good luck. Have fun painting! Ps did you know you can paint leather and short nap fabric with it? Crazy!

kimberly vanderpool I’m so glad! Your right - especially when your on a ladder! Good luck and can’t wait to hear how it turns out - keep me posted! 😀

Thank you as well, I just bought that brush. I am skeptical about using an oval chalk brush for my project, the F50, at least, seems like a quality brush.

@@RobloxPlayers-e7e The HTP brush and roller give an amazing finish...like sprayed on paint...no brush strokes! and it's surprisingly fast! I have used this paint in my dryer, my hubby's leather tennis shoes as well as several pieces of furniture!

You can. Its a good all in one paint. I do not use it anymore - nothing wrong with it, just have others that are my favorites. General Finishes, Fusion, Wise Owl One Hour Enamel. All of those are great paints for cabinets/furniture. If you want a complete smooth look, no grain showing, you would want to use a grain filler, you don't have to but the primer and paint will not conceal that grain. All whites will yellow with a topcoat (even water based). I would go with a paint that does not require an additional one - General Finishes Brushable White enamel or Wise Owl One hour enamel - both dry hard as can be and very durable - with a top coat in the formula as well.

@@BorninaBarnBoutique can you please tell me what would be your first choice to paint cabinets white, and why? Thank you I’m advance. ☺️

@@SunnyLexiLouTx I would choose General Finishes Brushable White Enamel or Wise Owl Paint One Hour Enamel. Why - They are both a paint and poly in one (topcoating white is not recommended as it will yellow - even water based top coats). Both easy to work with, extremely durable and intended for cabinetry.

So yes this is the paint they used to do countertops. I have never personally used it for that, but the company has put out videos on using it. They also just used a water based poly to protect it, not any special marine type poly. Which given a few coats, would be just fine.

Yes I heard camping world, but one near me!

@@BorninaBarnBoutique They just started this month in 40 test markets to see how well it does. It might be in yours. Fingers crossed. I love this paint. I have been buying at Camping World but they are only carrying Finish All and in limited colors. Amazon has several colors in both All In One and Finish All lines.

It’s not a paint that I used regularly after the video, I just have my favorites in the rotation. This is not a bad paint though. I like to topcoat for extra durability and easy care and maintenance

Monica Vance I don’t know this paint line well enough - to know this color. I personally like general finishes - they have a color called alabaster which is a true off white - no yellow undertones.

not sure if you got your answer, but it is on the website. there is a true white (Cashmere), Bone is the yellow white and then there is more of a grey white. You have to go to the website, and there are comparisons of the whites with descriptions so that you know what you are getting.

Cashmere is the purest white they have. Then bone then linen and they gave a grayish undertone white that is gorgeous...called Colosseum.

Artistic Wastelands / Craftplayrooms absolutely! I will have to get my hands on something leather and I would be more than happy to do that!

Actually Heirloom Traditions has a paint for leather, vinyl, smooth fabric and hard surfaces called Finish All. All In One is for hard surfaces only.

@@candysnell4900 beginning 9 months ago, all their paints are the same formula. I will never use another brand!

@@InOneAccord Yes they just made this announcement about a week ago. Their new branding will be called Finish All In One.

Look up heirlooms traditions pain videos on KZfaq

I use the one in the red bottle - Krud Kutter cleaner Deglosser/Degreaser

HTP sells its own degreaser!

@@danasnodgrass3451 they do and it’s a great product, but I use Krud Kutter

sylvia seri hi. Yes anytime you sand in between coats it will knock down those high spots, ridges or brush strokes as well as any grit. Thank you for watching. Very different paints. GF aid I bit thinner consistency (except their whites are thicker), had a satin sheen to it, self levels and self sealing. Heirloom is more matte, a bit thicker, has a top coat built in so it’s an all in one. Both good paints just different.

Born in a Barn Boutique. Thanks! I am going to try both on a piece of wood to see which I like better.

I do know that thank you, you can also brush on as I did and I wanted to see how it would come out that way. Thanks for watching!

freeangie11 it is a teal blue - the company describes it as a Navy with a slight green undertone(Blue/teal)

@@BorninaBarnBoutique ok I See now this replay. cool thank u

I think it was Mediterranean - I believe I say it somewhere in the video 😀

They suggest that, but you don’t have to use that technique. I chose not to, it just not my style and I wanted to apply the way I always apply my paints. It had great coverage no matter how applied 😀

@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thanks so much! I just wasn’t sure. I’m intrigued by heirloom treasures and had never seen that technique before. I’m a Annie Sloan gal but recently tried general finishes and really loved that paint. I may try HT for the fun of it now! I really enjoy your videos and always learn a lot. thank you!

@@jebageorge4741 yeah it’s a good paint, I don’t use it regularly. I tried after the video and still liked it, but it’s not one that I really ever used again. I was an Annie girl too for a long time and still use it for blending projects - it’s the best. It’s fun to try different paints, you never know what may work for you! Thank you so much - I’m so glad! 😀

Its actually not one I used much after the video - a few of my favs would be: Fusion Mineral Paint, Melange One (both all in ones and very durable) I have discount codes for both if you like. I would recommend Wise Owl One Hour Enamel (great for cabinets) or General Finishes Brushable White Enamel (a brush on product that can be tinted any color) or their spray product Enduro Poly

Angie Castillo the 32 oz they say covers up to 140 sf - apartment size cabinets - hop this helps!

Bahama Mama I have heard of that, I actually had another subscriber mention it too & said she didn’t care for it as far as the finish it gave her. I’m not sure why they say to apply like that, but I do a very smooth finish on all my pieces and found that applying like I did in the video had created a beautiful finish no problem

Born in a Barn Boutique thank you! I like your method much better. I did paint a standing mirror by pouncing the first coat and surprisingly it came out perfect. I just thought it was weird.

Actually you fully load a brush as this is self-leveling. You paint a small area, then stipple with a smooth sponge to remove brush strokes. It drys quickly, so they recommend not doing this with a ceiling fan or vent on in the room. Also recommend doing this inside and not out, such as a garage. Do the same for the 2nd coat.

@@BorninaBarnBoutique They tell you to stipple because it's a self leveling paint. The stippling removes excess paint & brush marks & allows an even coat.

@@carolsperduto7723 I understand thats what this brand says. I just don’t care for the stippling technique. It also doesn’t make sense to me, I work with many paints that are self leveling and none of them recommend a stippling technique in order for the self leveling to happen. It’s a preference - it doesn’t have to be done that way. I have used this paint successfully without using that brushing technique. Self leveling paint is designed to level out evenly as it dries, providing a smooth finish. It can be applied by brushing, rolling, stippling or spraying successfully.

Oh yes, I always stir or shake or both.

@@BorninaBarnBoutique The company recommend stirring, not shaking this paint.

@@dianesutter yes thank you I did stir this off camera

@@angelynnsprayberry9324 this is an honest review of their paint. I’m not doing a full line review - it is a review for the paint only. Just like I do for all other paint reviews - that have full lines. My paint reviews are just that - the paint. Thank you

freeangie11 yes I did that as well!

@@BorninaBarnBoutique did you get this color? is it a b;ue/ teal mixed tone? I want it for my bottom cabinets, but I see too many pics with different tones hard to tell if its dark, light, blue, teal or mix

Kathy DeBruyne hi. I ordered direct from their website - I’m not sure they have retailers in Canada or its a plane to order for your area - check with their customer service - very helpful!

Born in a Barn Boutique ...thank you. I see on their site they will be bringing it to Amazon.ca at some point. Hope it’s soon - I would like to try it but don’t want to pay the exchange, duty, etc.

Kathy DeBruyne that’s great! I hope it’s soon too - I don’t blame you

Not trying to cause trouble, but I can’t disagree enough. I’ve used other paints and nothing compares to HTP. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but it’s so worth it. Also, HTP almost always has sales and if you buy from their site you earn points that can be used for purchases

I’ve used HTP for several projects with very good results. I’ve tried 3 or 4 different chalk paint lines and it’s my favorite so far.

You can wet distress or dry with sandpaper, because it has a primer and topcoat built in, it just may take a little more pressure, I suggest testing out on a practice piece first.

Andrea Rivette I had shaken prior to going in camera and had it sitting upside down for quite a while - I didn’t feel the need to stir - as it did not seem thick or separated at all - it was mixed very well when I opened it at that point

@@BorninaBarnBoutique thanks! I thought maybe it was a different product!

Artistic Wastelands / Craftplayrooms you know normally I would say yes use primer - however, I have never painted leather - so I’m not sure how the primer would work (my concern would be cracking) for that I would go to their website and see if there is specific information on painting leather.

Please don't use the All In One paint on leather. Heirloom Traditions has a paint for leather, vinyl, smooth fabric and hard surfaces called Finish All. Eucalyptus is in the Finish All line. You won't be disappointed. Please watch some videos. Some people put water bottles between cushion and side of chair or backs so they don't stick together while drying. You will find lots of tips on the videos. You will also see a product called Bond-N-Flex in case you have scratches, tears or even missing areas to use before painting. It is amazing.

@@candysnell4900 Thanks for the information, this review was only on the all in one and was asked if I could do it on Leather or Fabric. I hadn't done one because I discovered they had a special paint for that - not one I planned on doing another review on. Thank you for answering Artistic Wastelands regarding that.

@@candysnell4900 I cannot find a video for "Finish All." The only video I see is her painting a leather couch gray using the "All in One Paint." Is there anyway you can send me the link?

@@edmurphymurphy6810 all the paints are now the same formula so you can use any of their paint lines on leather (They have a specific line for leather that is the same formula, but the colors are more traditional colors you would find in auto upholstery )

It’s been so long since I did this one, if I didn’t do on camera, I’m sure I did! 😀

The company says you do not have to. Heres my advice, prep is key to a excellent long lasting finish. I would scuff with a fine grit sanding pad, clean with a TSP or TSP alternative, wipe down with water, then a dry rag. This ensures you get all the stuff off the cabinets, get them really clean and by scuffing give the paint better adhesion. Just my .02 cents and it only takes moments to do! Happy Painting

Sorry for the stupid question but could I use a sanding machine to do so or is it better to do it by hand?

@@futbol1972 Its not stupid, I would just scuff them up with a fine grit sanding pad, not completely sand with a sander and sandpaper - just scuff them to help with adhesion

@@BorninaBarnBoutique thank u are so good. Keep it up:)

You can stir or shake well to mix, I actually turn upside down and let sit for a few minutes too - I just didn't show that on camera (sometimes I forget the little things) :)

Julie Stout so I have never painted countertops and like anything I’m sure the prep is key and how you finish it off. I would check out their site to see if they have recommendations about painting countertops with this - I have seen a video on it - so I know it can be done - you just want to make sure you follow all the steps for the best end result

The manufacture does NOT recommend it for countertops or floors.

Paula, the owner and developer of the paint has done many countertops! Just need to degloss well and follow her techniques.and polyacrylic top coats. she even did a marbling of an ugly old Formica meeting table with the tissue paper technique. Im so amazed and impressed. FB group is Heirloom Traditions -check it out if you haven't already. She paints leather and fabric sofas and canvas convertible tops!! It's so wild.!!! So cool to see what eveyone is doing on there!! I spend way too much time. But hey that's how we watch try and learn! Just not sure how well it holds up. I try to find old posts on FB and ask them for updates after a year. This lady did her huge bathroom floor in the paint and the stenciled with another color of paint..right over her tile. You csn paint linoleum. Just high traffic areas needs several coats of polyacrylic. Not sure if the polyurethane is ok..if its oil based? Or even epoxy acrylic? Gorgeous!

And that matters so much when it comes to a product review, or the character of a human.

@@escapefromny2012 ,sure it does, I give credit where credit is deserved, ok maybe I should of wrote a little on the product and her video!! I do understand where you're going with it!!

@@escapefromny2012 maybe it doesn't, but it's always nice to receive a compliment.

You don't have to clean with their brand cleaner, you can choose any furniture prep cleaner of your choice. I have been painting furniture successfully for 7 years and have a thriving business - I am familiar with the process - thank you for your input and thank you for watching.

Her sample was a new pre primed piece of crown. No need to use prep. The prep they sell is for degreasing and de glossing old finishes. Not necessary on new primer.

Roxie Harte well good tools do help to get a food finish, I use cling on and I mist with water on the piece to help the flow be nice and smooth. Are you streaking or seeing brushstrokes.

Brushstrokes and streaking. I will try spraying water but tell me what brushes you use please.

Roxie Harte I use Cling on brushes - my favorite for dressers and good size projects is the F50

@@roxieharte8387 you need to use a foam roller to get rid of streaks. You can go to the website or KZfaq and watch.

Vee Dubb I haven’t personally used this or other paints on material of any kind but my other furniture friends have and they use wax - it softens it

Born in a Barn Boutique thank you!

The dark one is Mediterranean and the light one is Wedgewood

Thank you but you don't have to use their tools - its not a must have to use their paint.

As an extensive user of this product, which I love totally to redo my whole home and others, you must use the restore, which will open the wood grain and take any dirt debris left over, especially in the kitchen and you must clean it very well after mini times, the oils from the kitchen will bacon and bacon Until it turns to a hard substance and that Hass to be cleaned off! I’m trying to be as positive as I can to help you! Second of all, you need the tools that go with this product there’s a stippling brush a roller brush that will take all the paint streaks off and catches any dripping or Miss places there’s two products of such one is a small roller which I prefer that you barely go over you do not get it in hard. In other words just take your finger off and just barely lightly go up up and down and all around first, trying it by rolling it lightly over your finger and there should be no pressure or indention on your finger and that will take out any trips or miss places with out, leaving any brush marks! There’s tutorials that go along with this and I suggest that you look at them all as you will become faster and a more professional luck, and be amazed at all the things that you can do with this product. Sincerely, Gerri D’Agostino.

stockstnt8 I’m sorry I’m not sure I understand your comment. Everything I Paint always gets cleaned with Krud kutter - a degreaser/deglosser first.

@@BorninaBarnBoutique I didn't mean anything bad these days she advertises that paint collection as all in one after use of their degreaser deglosser product for cabinets that have been stained . They have older videos when they didnt use or push the deglosser product and just says to clean cabinets well before painting. By the way i like that color you used also dont know what i could paint with it but it was a nice looking color. And you are pleasant to watch .

stockstnt8 oh I didn’t think you did, I just didn’t understand the relevance of the comment, now that makes sense. Yes I didn’t use here’s, several lines do have their own, I use my good ol Krud kutter every time. 😀 I know it is such a beautiful color, maybe an accent table or something small for a pop of color in the room. Thank you so much!

@@BorninaBarnBoutique have you ever painted alum or alum siding just curious, i assume you do more household products first i ahve seen you was today ,thanks

stockstnt8 I have painted metal but not alum siding with this paint, I’m sure you could, they claim this paint is pretty versatile for different materials.

I have not and don't know anyone that has - sorry I can't tell you how the wear is on this one.

I’m wondering the same. I have some faux leather chairs that I really would like to paint without destroying 🤞🏼

😱 how come???

I appreciate the feedback, it came out just fine though

Could you elaborate?

I have NEVER painted a piece of furniture - ever, until I used this and I can say now that I will never even try another paint. Every piece I've done has come out beautifully, better than expected and I even have friends wanting me to paint stuff for them. I did a few practice pieces first to get the hang of it, but now that I "know" the paint I love it.

Yes It has horrible coverage Need several coats The satin finish leaves finished product yellowish The Deglosser is a joke of a product

I tried this paint after seeing a multitude of ads on social media. I have been painting and repurposing furniture for a long time and this paint is horrible. This has the same basic qualities as big box hardware stores satin latex paint actually I have had better results with them than this product. And the deglosser cleaner is useless.
