Giani Nuvo Celadon Cove Cabinet Makeover Kit - Easy DIY 7-Piece Set, Soft Mint Green, Long-Lasting Finish

One of the best products I have ever bought on Amazon. Really amazingSuper easy to use. Covers very well and dries leaving a quality finish. Durable,too.I refinished an ugly, beat up old door. After two coats, the door looks like new.I also refinished an old wooden kitchen set. Yes, it was tedious to paint, but it turned out looking like new.I bought the kit and have enough paint left to do a least another project.Be sure to prepare the surface as their videos show. Seriously, very easy to use to get great results.Cocoa brown is what I used, but I am buying another kit to use for my projects.

This paint is outstanding. It dries so flat and leaves no brush marks. The colors are beautiful (this is Olde Sage) and the price is ultra reasonable. We will see how it holds up durability wise but I have high hopes based on how it feels now. What a great product. Would 100% buy this again! Great way to keep good cabinets out of a landfill!

I recently purchased the Nuvo Cabinet Paint Kit in Cocoa Couture and I am very pleased with my purchase. So far, I have repainted my bathroom vanity and this paint changed the looks of it dramatically. The vanity was once outdated and somewhat boring, and now it looks like a brand-new vanity. I added silver handles to all the drawers and cabinets and that really made the cocoa color of the paint “pop”. I am currently working on painting my kitchen cabinets as well.The Nuvo paint kit includes two paint cans, both one-quart, a small paintbrush for detailed areas, a roller handle and two brush rollers, a stir-stick, and a how-to booklet. This paint goes on with ease and covers very well. I used two coats of paint on my bathroom vanity and haven’t even used half of one can yet. I believe I will have enough to paint my kitchen cabinets as well as the vanity in our guest bathroom.When I first received the kit, I did not realize that I would need a stripping agent for the cabinets. After I read the instructions, I learned that they recommend the use of TSP (Trisodium Phosphate Substitute) to clean the cabinets before applying the paint. I purchased Klean-Strip no rinse TSP from amazon and it worked very well. I simply diluted the solution in warm water and used it to clean the cabinets. It takes a few minutes to try, then you use a dry cloth to remove any residue.After using the TSP, I used a 300-grit sandpaper to lightly sand the cabinets. I highly recommend this step because the cabinet paint will show any blemishes in the wood. For example, the clear coat on my cabinets was not applied smoothly, there were some areas where you could see some drip spots, and the paint made these spots more noticeable. After realizing this, I resulted to sanding the cabinets more thoroughly to ensure no blemishes would be seen.This paint dries very quickly. I painted my bathroom vanity in only a couple of hours- I let the first coat of paint dry for an hour before applying another coat. After only 10-15 minutes of applying paint the cabinets felt dry to the touch. A kitchen or bathroom cabinet make-over can easily be done in a single weekend! I think it would even work well on other wood furniture such as desks, dressers, tables, etc. as it is very durable. I accidently scraped the vanity with one of the drawers and it did not leave a mark.

Expensive for a small can of paint? Nope! One small can covered my entire working kitchen perfectly. Paint is thick, doesn’t require a lot of coats, works amazingly and is so easy to apply. Fast dry time. Looks fantastic and there are no noticeable streaks, bubbling, or problem areas. Pretty “true navy” that actually is. Thank you!

This paint is easy to work with and goes on smooth. However, the durability isn’t what I had hoped. I used to paint a kitchen island. The areas that go untouched are fine. The high touch areas are chipping after 3 weeks. I just did the first touch up I am sure of many to come.It does look beautiful though and I am sure I would have the same issue with any cabinet paint. Those areas were chipping prior to my painting as well.All in all I would recommend this paint.

Edit : 4-2020After a couple of years in the my kitchen , I decided to pay my rennovated master bath cabinets with this nuvo hearthstone . Just wanted to say, I still love the color and still love how is it compliments the bright, calm paint I have in there.----++++II have used this on a couple of different pieces and it's been about a month so I think I can comfortably write a review for it. I recently did a kitchen renovation - Had a red walls and the ugly generic oak colored cabinets. I wanted to brightened the room and use very light grey for walls and when I was shopping for cabinet paint, I ran across this on Amazon. I figured this hearthstone color would best match the wall color I was going with.This paint is really good considering its price point and how much it covers. I used all of it for my kitchen project as I was doing both the upper and lower cabinets. I sanded the upper cabinets and did the vinegar/water mix for the bottom set. I did not want to use TSP. In hindsight, I should have sanded all the cabinets. After using them for a month now, I noticed that the sanded cabinets was able to grip on the paint much better. Also it was easier to paint the sanded cabinets; the bottom ones tended to form those tiny bubbles much easier. Also scratched the bottom ones on a couple of occasion with finger nails or pesky little pointy objects like forks etc...while opening them. I touched them up and all is good now, but I really do think this is due to me not prepping it correctly.Some of these tips may have been already given by other reviewers but being this was my first cabinet pain project, these were most helpful in completing the project i.m.o.- Unscrew the bottom cabinet door sets first- Paint one side of them- Then unscrew the top cabinet sets (this allows for about an hour dry time for the first side coat)- Paint first side of top cabinet sets- Turn over the bottom set and paint them (this allows time for top set to dry)- Put second coat on top cabinet set- Then paint other side of bottom set (you get the point- This allows you to work continuously without having to wait for dry time)- Always sand i.m.o or use TSP - These cabinet i Had were 11 years old and the vinegar trick cleaned them good...free of dirt and grease etc... but I feel like it didn't adhere to the paint as well as the sanded ones - They look identical, but I am talking about when you really use them and make contact with the paint afterwards- Stir the can of Nuvo paint and mix it well for a good 5 minutes.- The roller that comes with the kit works ok. Make sure not put too much paint on it, especially at the beginning. It will form bubles and creat that "water spot" look once those bubbles pop and paint dries- I have found that the sponge roller made for cabinets and smooth surfaces work a little better with this. If anything you can do first coat with the one in the kit, and put the top coat with the foam. Also for corners, the brush work ok, but I have found those black foam ones are easier to work with.While I was at it, I added a rolling island in the kitchen, and the bamboo color stuck out like a sore thumb. So I painted it with the same Nuvo paint. Looks great and matches well. I plan on painting another old cabinet we bought from someone online. Definitely will be sanding it before putting this paint on.All in all, I am satisfied with the product and this color went really well with my new wall color.
