My Cabinets are currently painted bright red, will this product cover over thick paint??

I would strip your cabinets first. If they are already painted they probably have at least 3 coats already. Using this product will add another 4 coats at least

Mine were almost orange and it covered. The set up and having room for all the cabinets and ventilation for them to dry was big challenge. We waited until summer so we could use the garage. I honestly don't know if this method was better than just using a good decent paint. We are getting yellowing from top coat. I left mine white.

Not red at all. The more coats you apply the darker it gets. I did four coats over light stained cabinet and it almost looks black. Very easy to use. I love this stuff.

It is a rubberized finish that should stick but I would use the primer or undercoat to be sure. It will also improve coverage and 2 or more thin coats are better than 1 thick one.

Absolutely--I painted my to match my cabinets. First, sand lightly to dull the surface, then paint with two coats. Turned out great. I did the painting before I did assembly.

It's a mix of both...I applied the color coat very lightly so that I could still see the wood grain. But I think if you'd apply it more generously it may cover it up. It's definitely not as thick as paint but not as thin as stain. I did not use the optional glaze and I can see my wood grain just fine.

Yes exactly What I used it for. It won't cover totally but nice enough to get a smooth wall. Use good paint I used three coats. I'm very happy with the product. No more brown room.

We bought a cover right away, so I can't say with certainty, other than that over time and exposure, anything will be affected. It is the minimum amount of stain that could be applied, for sure. Expect to apply more stain or sealer in the future, as with anything outdoors.

I have only used mine for exterior. I have a contractor friend that says it will, but cover everything. Quite a lot of over-spray.

Laminate wood? I would say so. I'm no expert by the majority of our cabinets are particle cheap stuff. The only thing I would suggest is that to at least sand your area down just a tad as I did the same to lift the gloss that is applied to top layer. I used two coats for the color I wanted then applied the clear coat to protect.

Hi Nathan, I agree with MOzarkian regarding the spray. I'd make sure to cover the entire piece, front and back well. I live in Florida, and we too decorate outside walls......clear sealant is my best friend!!! You might have less issue with rust as where you are it is a much drier climate.

Yes. After which, you should apply a primer. This will seal the surface in order for the paint to match the paint applied in other areas of the room.

no it will change color but wont cover up damage..... might make it stand out more

This will work fine Diane. I once said that you can paint over dirt and get a nice finish with this material and it's true. Your trick is going to be using two coats as the first covers and the xecond gives the 'hammered look. Make sure the first coat is dry before adding the second and you need no luck at all; just about 40 minutes.Very Best.

Yes it will match anything cherry you have. It's maybe slightly more brown than red but goes great with the cherry we have. This cabinet is AMAZING!!!

You should be able to use it over paint provided the painted surface is smooth without chips or cracks. If it is not smooth, the stain will look different on places where it touched wood vs. places where it touched paint. Depending on the color of the paint it might impact the color of the stain too. It won't show up very well on black paint, for example. Honestly, i would just use paint over paint but you can always do a small patch of the door to test.

Yes. We put it on our laminate cabinets last spring. The only thing you have to do is rough up any sides otherwise it goes straight on. Because it is more like a paint rather than a stain it will chip off some. I just keep a small jar of paint around for touch ups. But unlike paint it lets the "grain look" show through. We love it!!

I used it on a large tub. It covered the nicks, but the color was too white, so, in a way, the damage still shows. If you had a perfect color match it would be perfect.
