Great product if you tweak the process.
I love this kit. Let me rephrase that. I love the base coat and the glaze in this kit. I tried the deglossing liquid and gave up on it in about 5 minutes. It was not taking off the gloss as quickly as a sander would so then I sanded all my cabinets with a medium grit sandpaper and a sander. After removing the dust with a tack cloth I put the first base coat on. Went on like a charm. Didn't even need a second but I put a second one any way. The next day I put the glaze. I am not sure if it was worth it since the glaze doesn't really show on dark colored base but I lie to think it added some richness to it. After drying the glaze for 24 hours I put the top coat. This is the part where I was a little scared. There were a bunch of bad reviews on how hard this is. I followed a video I found by a guy on youtube and followed his instructions of putting the top coat with a brush and then going over it with a foam brush. Worked well but I had to be super careful about drips. Also whenever the top coat collects in nooks and crannies it dries white. I finally gave up on this and bought Deft water based polyurethane in clear satin. It was expensive but so worth it. It went on like a charm and the rest of the process was a breeze.. Overall, if you have patience to complete each step meticulously and let the paint dry well at every step, then this product is awesome. I only needed about 1/2 of one container of the base and there are 2. I will probably do the other bathrooms next but will skip the deglosser and top coat from the kit completely and use the Deft as a top coat. I had never done anything like this before but would use this again provided it wears well. You can take a look at the photos I've added for a better idea. of how it looks. *UPDATE It has been 7 months since I painted our cabinets. They are holding up very well. No fading or chipping so far and the color has stayed true.
