Have you used the 1 step paint yet?!?! Have you used baby wipes to clean and prep?!?
Not yet but I intend to, thanks for all the tips 😀
Baby wipes on my list! So… all of these are finishing? Ideas? Right?
I haven't yet.. finishing up using the fusion paint i have. Then i will try your 1 step paint :) Thank you so much for all your helpful tips , tricks and techniques in painting
Hi, I was washing your videos last week for about 3 days and finally I paint my table it use to be cherry.I prime it then I painted it light color and I was waiting to dry, i want it to put the gel stain, but this morning I find some yellow marks and I don't know 😕 what to do it's the first time I'm painting
@@karenwagner3975 yep
You are the coolest, best, rogue DIYer! I love that you throw all the usual rules to the wind. Thank you for this!!
Love that description 😆❤️
Thanks so much for showing all these different methods. When I first tried the foam roller, I really didn’t like it, but after a little practice, I started to get how to go light handed and not over load the foam, it looks much better. I used your method of applying top coat on a dining table lately, with a bit sanding in between it really became smooth and flawless. Thank you Shannon
Foam rollers have been my best staple when painting. I absolutely love them! They provide next level smoothness! Thank you for this video! I often have the urge to try all of the new brushes because in true fashion I'm always looking for something better but this video cured my curiosity. Lol
I do the brush and white foam roller also. Love the results. And I’m definitely gonna make your paint recipe on my cabinets
I just had a thought, and you produced! Thank you
This was so helpful! I have been on pause with my kitchen cabinet project because I am hopefully waiting for them to be sprayed but it’s been taking so long! I fully filled them with aqua coat which came out really nicely, and have been living with just primer on them for months now. I think I’ll just take the plunge and roll them myself with of course, your number one pick!
Love your style! You make me smile. Thanks for the great video. I've just tried your roller method and it is soooo much better.
I absolutely love your technique. I tried this technique for the first time. You rock!!!!
Love your videos I learn alot
Thanks for your endless research 🧐 you have so much patience!! I’ll use this one step paint on my Laundry room cabinets and the foam roller for sure. The nylon covered sponge would be great for a textured finish don’t you think?!!
Glad to try it all out and save you guys the trouble! You’ll love the one step paint recipe 👏 and you’re probably right, that sponge would make nice texture!
So interesting to hear your thoughts re. the fluffy velour roller, and re-assuring that - for you too - it tended to struggle rolling smoothly, and was inclined to slide across the paint. My experience with this type of applicator was disconcerting, and even a bit discouraging - despite the packaging promising an 'ultra-smooth finish'.
I'm ecstatic that you published this video! After 17 years of family living and 5 years after becoming a widow, I am finally able to decorate my house. I want to make all in one paint. I bought my calcium carbonate from a local brewing supply store. Thanks for sharing. I was taught the traditional way of actually paint with a fine bristle, China brush by my daddy. I absolutely love your challenges of different products and techniques.
❤️👏👏
Wow ! Thanks
I recently discovered some car wax sponges that look similar to the blue sponge you used. I bought to use when I dye/paint my leather couch. Lets see how that works. 😊
Wow. Great. This makes painting my cabinets less daunting. I will look for the oak kitchen video 😊
Thank you so much
This will be my first time dry brushing, do you wash the foam roller in between coats? And if I do primer separately then the paint, would you use the same method (brush then foam roller)?
Appreciate you, love your videos!
Would I use the one step paint process before the glazing if I’m doing the pottery barn wood look?
Love it! I will try it. What color was the paint? I've been looking for a paint that color
I love the SW Ovation plus, it acts like a chalk paint. I painted my shutters with it and I'm currently painting a makeup vanity.. I love the paint.. I also painted my neices bathroom vanity 💙💜💚
I’m OBSESSED! I am so excited to know about that paint now 👏👏👏
Me too girlfriend, me too 🤗
Your 1st winner (sponge) was also my first choice. However, it was a great learning experience you gave us...thank you! I give you 10 more likes ♡♡♡♡♡
Thanks 👍
I’m watching your videos because I want to paint a console table that came from Home Sense black. It’s a medium dark blue right now... it’s new so I don’t want to screw it up... so far I don’t have the confidence to do it. I will keep watching until I feel ready...
i use those sponges for carwash.. dollar store .. i cut them up.. i use them dampened with water.. and wipe on the paint.. nice smooth finish.. and you can cut them small for tight spaces or angled to get in corners..etc :)
I’ll have to try cutting them, good tip!
I appreciate you sharing this. One important comment, if you read the directions on the whizz rollers it explains they need to be pre-wetted. If you roll a dry roller on top of a single coat of paint all it will do is pull up the paint from the surface. If you pre-wet that gray roller it causes the fiber to lay down and I'm pretty sure that would have given you the smoothest finish.
That's what she's doing intentionally with the dry roller; "laying off" :)
LOVE that shade of gray ❤️ what is it called please ? ♥️♥️♥️
I tried this technique with the behr brand chalk paint like five coats on raw mdf after I primed and I always got that pop corn texture like
You know, I had that happen too with Behr chalk paint! Only thing that helped it was rolling the heck out of it while it was semi wet. Try it with this recipe and I think you’ll like the results and bonus, it’s way cheaper 👏
I just put Behr exterior paint on an outdoor bench and the paint bubbled up. Never saw that before.
I guess I’d prefer to see brush strokes over the dabbing methods. If the paint recipe had a lil more varethane (sp?) do you think brush strokes would blend smoothly and lay down for a super smooth finish?
Very nice video👍👍
Would the 1 step paint recipe work on laminate cabinet doors?
I use a beauty blender for stencilling! works great
I just purchased Krylons Chalky paint to paint my cabinets (it is the only chalk paint that can be matched to SW colors). Would I be able to add varathane to an existing chalk paint to make a 1 step or something that holds up better until I put on top coat? Curious to see what you and the chat thinks. Some complain that when painting kitchen cabinets any bumping etc. before top coat can mess up finish. And I think this will be a 3 day process for me.
Yes, I mix half chalk paint and half clear coat for a flawless one step paint, you’ll love the finish!
Does the Varathane water based top coat work better than Minwax polycrylic? I struggle with the Minwax water based topcoat. I'm familiar with oil based polys, shellac, and lacquer. I work in my basement, so I am trying to switch to water based finishes (as much as possible).
I like them both really, to me they (water based versions) are really similar. Varathane is more popular among furniture painters though so there might be a reason I’m starting to think
Does the First time work on oil based?
I painted my cabinets with Purdue Jumbo Mini Roller Ultra Finish 3/8” nap. Used it with the Sherwin Williams Emerald Paint. I painted a dark Navy, so an unforgiving color. A lot of it has to do with the paint. Get a self leveling paint. My cabinets are beautifully smooth. We had a contractor paint the inside of our home. He asked me go painted our cabinets because they did a beautiful job. That would be me! Rolled and brushed with light sanding in between. He was shocked that no sprayer was used. Then asked me if I wanted to paint his personal cabinets
Was it a self leveling Sherwin Williams brand you used?
Can you make this recipe with chalk paint? I have been using rust oleum chalk paint! Thx…Love your videos!
Does water base Polyurethane works the same as polycrylic?
7:25 that made me laugh more and it went on far longer than I'd like to admit. I will admit your ending was better than mine! Found your channel recently. Packed full of tips and from the point of actual experience. I thnk you're bloody brilliant! So much of this is similar to car detailing.: prep, paint, finish. As I have a lot of that on hand I'd fill the oak grain I'd try car body filler - brilliant to sand, cheap and available everywhere. They even do a fine putty/glaze for filling any pin holes showing after said sanding. Guessing thatd be good if I ever need something to fill some smaller damage in a piece before priming. And I have tack rags instead of baby wipes. And oodles of rollers from the garage revamp. Hmmm. You've got my brain going now, ta!
😂❤️
Can you do this on already painted cabinets and doors? The doors were done at my cabinet builders factory and they are only 2.5 years painted, they are already chipping. Ugh. Not what I would expect from a factory sprayed finish, they looked ok when I got them but the finish didn’t match the cabinets or the color and it was supposed to be the same exact color. I’m going to change the co,or completely this next time though as I want them to match the built in that we had ordered form another cabinet maker and the finish is beautiful and the co,or is true through the whole cabinet and drawers. I have interior doors to paint first before we get to the kitchen cabinets though. I painted the bathroom cabinets already by hand using a brush and I like seeing the wood grain showing through. Our home is styled in a rustic, coastal craftsman feel and so far I’m pleased and it’s been almost a year since painting over the golden oak stain of 22 years, had to do 2 coats and touch up a little after the two coats dried. I like the finish a lot, but want smoother for the kitchen because the doors are map,e and the body of the cabinets are mostly oak except for the corner cabinets and island cabinets which we added to give us more storage. The bathroom cabinets are good quality cabinets too, just not crazy about the interiors. They were stained a little water damaged, but still good enough to not replace just yet. So I covered the bottoms of the babies and drawers lined with non stick contact papers and they look pretty good.
You suggested HGTV Innovation Plus interior paint but actually used Ovation Plus in the video. Which gives the hardest finish?
I have a question regarding another project you did. I did the pottery barn look a like with the glaze. Can you do two coats of glaze to fix any imperfections?
You can, it’ll darken it a bit though. I usually use the dry brush in the the yellow color or in the base color to blend any areas that are too dark, you could also use mineral spirits and wipe away some. But I’ve had the best luck with just dry brushing the yellow and the original tan color, hope that helps ❤️
@@blacksheephouse thank you so much. The technique is beautiful. I absolutely love it!! Love watching your videos💕
Would I use the one step paint if I’m doing the pottery barn wood look?
To use your recipe, do you need to start with a paint one shade darker than what you want in finished product to allow for the addition of the primer?
I’ve tried that and ended up with some colors I didn’t expect on some and others ended up perfect 😅 but it’s worth a shot, color theory is still something I haven’t quite got a full grip on. But the primer definitely lightens the paint up a bit. Best thing I’ve managed is to get them to tint your primer in the same color of your paint 🖤
@@blacksheephouse Thank you, I appreciate your answer.
white primer DID lighten and soften my aqua paint, which I liked a lot, so I recommend buying a small sample size to experiment with before buying gallons! Applies to all projects, now that I've had to re-do both floor and wall colors that turned pink... big waste of money!
since you added the coating with the paint do you still have to seal it when finished
Depending on where you plan to use the item, if it will be near water and food then I would add a topcoat but if not it’ll do great
Beauty blenders are best used damp. I wonder if it would’ve worked better a little damp rather than dry? 😬
use a good Purdy brush, good paint, good shellac primer, lightly sand between coats. and do light coats.
Most of everything I see are cabinets with some type of finish already. What about newly built cabinets? Can I prime first (Kelly moore acrylic Primer) then apply your awesome 1 step paint mix, or skip priming and just go with your 1 step. Bare wood in my experience needs extra love, arylic primer/paint really good in my opinion. Last questions I was planning to use my Kelly moore Primer in your 3 part. (it's water base)
bin sellac primer and Benjamin Moore cabinet quality paint. they sell a paint for cabinets. it is fab and it a little more, but it covers a lot more. use a satin finish. You don't need to put clear coat on after. just the final paint. I do it in all my rentals, they last and don't chip.
Can you do a video on Beyond paint and how to paint it smoothly on cabinets?
Try Valspar furniture and cabinet enamel for cabinets or furniture, really amazing stuff and half the price of beyond
I’ve heard other painters using Floetrol for wood. Have you tried this additive? I’ve used Kills 3 for less coats of expensive paint on walls. There’s also kills adhesion and kills restoration.
My trouble is I work in a dusty garage and I can’t let my paint sit long enough to level without debris falling in In so I opt for the fastest drying finishes snd floetral really slowed drying time. But I’m sure it’s a great product if you work in a good clean environment with little dust
@@blacksheephouse thank you for heads up about dry time. I’ll try it on something less precious 😁
I add floetrol to my paints.
@@amandaburgess7316 what does it do? How do you use it?
@@allisonmorrell8734 It thins the paint without disturbing the pigments in the paint and helps the paint level out.
Have you tried a Wallpapering brush?
A little more time/explanation of the winner would have been appreciated. I believe that it was the Whizz High Density foam roller that won.
I’m using the Sherman Williams enamel urethane which is supposed to be the best available after having the most godawful Experience with bad Valspar kitchen and cabinet paint. I’m painting my kitchen is tricorn black, but it was bad batch is a paint that wouldn’t dry. They just stayed tacky, even though I was doing REALLY thin layers with with 72+ hours dry time. Also using the wiz like you said, but I keep getting orange peel!!! 😠 Found out from a painter the darker colors take longer to cure, but not not dry. That shouldn’t create orange peel though. Found if I do a heavier coat it pools in the corners. 🤔 Thoughts? Cabinets did better. May try and finish out backs around the hardware, hang them and try that way. Purchased a spray gun, but don’t think I’m good enough for that one.
I used the SW urethane too
Chipped even tho I did everything right including sanding and priming. I didn’t use this recipe Tho
BUT I have used the Heirloom traditions paint on my moms bathroom cabinets and an entire
Old
Queen Ann style
Frontier (dark and cheap vane we top)
Omg that paint is ALL THat. Coverage, finish (top
Coat built
In) no mixing anything although I did mix with a little front door paint left over to see what color came
Out … no issues and looks great. Bottom line I was NOT impressed
With the SW paint for my cabinets compared
To the heirloom traditions paint.
I followed this recipe exactly and it TOTALLY distorted the color of my paint. I used 1 part Heirloom Traditions All-in-One paint in the color Mediterranean (a dark blue-green/teal), 1 part Kilz All Purpose Interior/Exterior Primer, and 1 part Minwax Polycrylic Clear Topcoat (water based). I went from my desired dark teal to a light bluish gray. What went wrong??
Have you tried misting with alcohol to pop bubbles left in the paint?
No, but that sounds cool!!
@@blacksheephouse I used to do acrylic paint pours and I used a recycled spray bottle to spray a fine mist over the bubbles and instantly they vanished. It is cool.
Do I need to sand between coats?
You can sand but it’s not required
stirring with the can opener, we should be friends
Does primer and calcium carbonate change your paint color?
I have only tried it once - total beginner here - and yes, the white primer DID alter my bright aqua paint making it lighter and softer, which was a good thing for my little dresser. ( I also wiped on/off a coat of thinned java paint and loved the result.) Now I realize I need to do some small tests of a complete process before starting my kitchen!
i always use the foam rollers. im not sure why everybody doesnt.
Right?!
Can you please provide a link for the calcium carbonate powder?
Hey this is the one I used but looks like it’s out of stock on Amazon, I’m sure another brand would work just as well or I have gone without it on projects and had great results, just be sure to use Kilz 2 interior/exterior primer for the strongest finish

Have you ever tried the Purdy brand at Lowes?🤔🤔 🎨
You can definitely over roll
What if they are painted by a professional, but the paint was so cheap because it’s chipped off on some doors and one cabinet body edge. These cabinets were painted only 2 1/2 years ago! The doors were brand new built by the kitchen cabinet builder and we did vertical shiplap, medium wide bead board planks on the bodies of the cabinets because they were like a oak laminate and ugly, though the doors were so,I’d oak. We paid a lot to have our kitchen remodeled! Even hired an electrician to install can lighting and under cabinet lighting. We are pleased with those, except one makes a buzzing sound in the ceiling, can’t figure out how to fix it. I’m so ticked off! My husband and I want to repaint the whole kitchen next year, but in the mean time the cabinet doors some of them look really bad! The bathroom cabinets that are oak doors, but we planked the sides of those too like we did the kitchen cabinets, I painted 2 coats myself, no primer and used the valspar that you used and they are a blue grey shade and they turned out GORGEOUS! Thank you for any help! What do you do to fill in the chips before painting? I bought all grades of sanding sponges too.
Oh man, that’s so tough, I do notice that the harder and thicker the paint is the more likely it will chip so that may be the case for your cabinets. If I were you I would sand the chips and fill as needed to get a smooth surface and then I would use Valspar furniture and cabinet enamel over top of the old paint. I’d do coats of that and then a 3rd coat of half paint and half water based polyurethane and maybe even a 4th coat if I felt like it needed it. Hope that helps a bit!
the Bin Shellac dries in 10 mins so you don't have to wait to put the first coat of the paint. and usually one coat will do and I did navy blue. GReat Great paint. Not getting paid to say that.
Well 🏆🏆 🍒😃
Hi, I was washing your videos last week for about 3 days and finally I paint my table it use to be cherry.I prime it then I painted it light color and I was waiting to dry, i want it to put the gel stain, but this morning I find some yellow marks and I don't know 😕 what to do it's the first time I'm painting
@@rubig5821 you probably need a stain blocker primer
@@VWMikey1 I will try it, I hope it works thank you
What? You combine clear coat, primer and paint and put it all on at once? I don't know about that. That's not how the paint companies say to do it. That's not how the pro painters do it. Seems to me the different products have different qualities and you put them on in an order for a reason.
A lot of expensive designer paints are putting everything in one, Dixie Belle, I think Beyond Paint, and others, and this is cheaper. I haven't tried anything myself yet, but many say it works great.
@@anneporter123 I only know one person who has tried All In One and actually tested it. She painted her kitchen cabinets. She said 2 months later it started chipping off and she had to re-do all of them. She said it was a nightmare. Not one pro I know will touch it.
The thing about painting is if you paint a piece and put it over in the corner and never touch it, how would you ever know?
If you are trying to get a spray finish - why not buy a sprayer? This is making want to buy a sprayer.
I have a few sprayers and a sprayer will give a beautiful finish ❤️ it’s a pros snd cons thing..it’s a messy thing that you have to set up for and they also use a lot more paint but they paint in nooks and crannys super fast and have great coverage. I still use my sprayer a lot though, especially on anything with shelves. I use the one from harbor freight that’s like $15 and a nice air compressor. I plan to do a video on that soon 👏
@@blacksheephouse Thanks. My son is putting in a kitchen on my side of the house where none existed before. We ordered some stock cabinets that are white and they will be arriving soon. I'm in charge of the painting. I want white cabinets on top and blue on the bottom. I was going to try to sponge roller with Dixie Belle paint (already ordered). I've never used a sprayer if I can get one at Freight Harbor for $15 I think I will try it on something. What uses up the paint? Having left over paint in the sprayer?
@@blacksheephouse Also I work as a nanny and baby wipes clean everything.
@@anneporter123 the sprayer uses up more paint bc some dries in the air before it reaches surface but it’s a very nice real pro finish for sure. If you already have access to a air compressor you should give it a try, the air compressor is what’s a bit more $ you also have to tape off area a lot with plastic bc overspray will get on items in your home
@@blacksheephouse Thanks for your attention to this! Good to know! I'll be looking for your spray painter video.
This recipe doesn’t work for me. Now I’m left with a bag of chalk
That will never hold up !
That is not cabinet paint.
Not good!
Damn, you talk to much...
