Nuvo All-In-One Cabinet Paint Kit (Cocoa Couture)

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 The vanity was once outdated and somewhat boring, and now it looks like a brand-new vanity.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.

Omg, where do I start? I got quotes from several contractors for this job with costs ranging from $3,000 to $6000. Finally, I decided to do it myself, and it was the best decision I ever made. I will recommend buying a sander and sanding the cabinets first. It’s not required, but it will definitely help with the finish look with all the grooves after its painted. I took on this project because when I moved into this unit, the cabinets were damaged with stains and grease and I could not get it clean. I use multiple degreasers and I hired professional cleaners to come in and try to clean the cabinets. They have even steam the cabinets and nothing could get the grease in the stains off the cabinets. So finally, I decided to paint it. Gray was not my first choice however, I could not find the navy blue I wanted, and so ultimately, we decided on a light gray, which I do not regret at all. Application was super easy. The two of us tackled this project in less than three hours. I will recommend 2 to 3 coats for better coverage. I also will recommend not putting a glob on at a time but instead apply thin layers, making sure that your brush strokes are uniform. The texture is perfect and the finish is also perfect not too shiny not to Matte. This is a perfect kit that provides you with all the tools you will need to get the job done. All you really need is tape and tarp so that you don’t get paint everywhere. I cracked my window and the paint dried super fast which made applying a second and third coat so easy and fast. And lastly, the amount of paint they provided in the full starter kit was more than enough. We only use one canister and that canister still has paint left in it. The other canister has not even been touched. So I will be keeping them for future touchups.

One of the best products I have ever bought on Amazon. Really amazing Super 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 really good quality and has good coverage. 1-2 layers over a dark color is plenty and it doesn’t dry tacky. We’ll see how long it lasts though but I’m impressed so far.

Used this paint for our kitchen cabinets and it makes them look so much nicer! Looks like new cabinets! I've purchased this paint a couple years ago to use on our bathroom cabinets and wooden fireplace and it looks great on everything! Colour seemed consistent for both sets. Easy to use and saves lots of money replacing old cabinets! Also not sure why it looks like it in the photos but the top and bottom are the same colour, the lighting in our kitchen is weird lol

The paint was very watery and even though I sandpapered the laminate it refused to stick on and I had to wipe off the paint quickly : the paint was practically dripping . What happened ?

Lovely paint -transformed our kitchen

I'm guilty of not writing reviews despite relying heavily on them, so thought I would take the time to say this is truly fantastic paint. It has a silky texture, is a beautiful deep navy/grey colour and makes my kitchen cabinets look really modern and chic. We took the time to sand down the cupboards lightly prior to painting, and then as instructed from the pack we sugar soaped and finished with a glass cleaner to ensure the paint grips to a very clean surface. The brush provided with the pack is really handy for the awkward parts of cupboard doors or any other furniture, and the wee roller was great too. Overall I am really pleased with the finish - the only thing I would highlight is the colour changes with the slightest touch up; ie if you have three coats on one part it is very obvious to see as it goes very dark, so be aware if you are doing any small bits once the paint is dry. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Loved it! Great quality and goes on smooth. Took 4 coats to cover my dark cabinets
