I have been using this product for a couple years now and It is hands down my favorite interior coating. my customers all love the way it looks and feels. so silky
Awesome review! Very informative and helpful. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to the painting industry
Glad to help
The review we have been waiting for !!
I love this paint
Fantastic product. Chris put it to the test through a sprayer FFLP on a door or trim. Check out the finish. Give it a very fast rub 220 between coats, absolutely amazing. I use Matt as an Eggshell finish. All the best! 👊🏻🤙🏻
Awesome Ron
I’ve been using this product dor 5 years, great product and touches up amazingly 👍🏼👍🏼
Used this for the last 3 years on daycares !!! Incredible paint super washable
We made the switch from Ben Moore Advance Satin to Scuff X satin on all of our woodwork, built ins, cabinets etc. last year. Levels out beautiful, quicker dry time, you don’t feel like you’re going to die at the end of the day spraying it (fumes). We’ve had custom cabinet guys ask us what we used on our woodwork, because they thought it was lacquer or conversion varnish.
How do you think the Scuff X will hold up compared to products like Cabinet Coat or Advanced?
Curious as to what tip you used to spray it??
Weird, I've never noticed any heavy or bad fumes from advance. I've also noticed and found advance to be considerably harder once cured than scuff-x. To be fair, I've sprayed and brushed advance a lot. However, I've only brushed and rolled scuff-x and have never sprayed it yet. I wonder if scuff-x cures harder after being sprayed instead of brushed. Both paints level fine for me with no issues.
Thanks Chris for the review. I've never heard of this product.
Truly amazing stuff
I tried this about week ago and really liked it. Really nice uniform finish on walls, very easy to use, can be 2nd coated pretty quickly. Seems like it would be a decent trim paint too. The "matte" seemed more like an eggshell to me, which I kind of expected for a product that advertises washability.
Well good. Matte is washable. Scuff x is. Just different. The matte to me seems closer to satin
thanks for your thoughts
Chris could you please recommend finishes for walls and trim? I have been quietly watching info on the product. Great video thank you so much. One thing that’s seems to be consistent is the sheen difference for other brands and lines of BM. So I typically use semi gloss for trim and eggshell for walls. I would like a little less sheen then semi gloss. So could you please recommend a conversion for the scuff X. Greatly appreciate it😊
I sprayed the eggshell onto furniture and it looked like a powder satin finish. Super great feel and really durable.
Thanks for sharing!
Did you have to add a hardener or clear coat to it, or did it naturally resist scratching?
@@arc.handyman1905 Its still resisting scratching really well to this day. Nothing was added. I did prep the furniture by wet sanding and using liquid sander before a primer coat. other than that, it's really durable. it takes a couple of weeks to gas out though. The smell bothers some people
This was terrific. Thank you!!
I was curious, you mentioned Scuff X was great for darks. Would you recommend it for whites or another brand?
Lastly, how do you feel Scuff X Matte measures against Sherwin Williams Interior Duration Matte?
Grateful for your opinion and time!
Should do a review on Benjamin Moore’s Command it’s latex paint and bonds to oil like glue.
“Balls could be hitting the wall”..
Think they call that a Rupture)
Seriously thank you 🙏🏼 great Video!!
Great video, some feed back on how it sprays on trim and doors would be great!!
Great point!
It is the best paint for woodwork or cabinets period amazing spray finish and brush finish
Just used Advance cabinet on my Maple bedroom set. I used Behr cabinet on my other bedroom set, also Maple. Sanded, primed, 2 coats of paint. 95% rolled, 5% cut in with a brush. I found 3 difference. Advance runs very easy, drying time & the price. Behr $53 a gallon. Advance $80 a gallon. In the future I'm going with Berh. No matter the advertising about how good water-based paints are. Nothing beats oil. Not even close..
About for kitchen cabinets?? Dunn Edwards is aristoshield and sherwinn Williams emerald or pro industrial.. Benjamin Moore is advance or scuff x
How about color matching from SW colors to Ben Moore paint? Good match? you mentioned it is not recommended to go the other way. thanks
The stick to your hand test is a legit test my friend
It truly is
Yeah is really hard to find paint and sherwinn Willimas and Dunn Edwards… Benjamin Moore is doing well with the inventory they A lot paint!!
I'm currently using BM Advance to paint some bathroom cabinets. The dry/re coat time is killing me! I was considering Stuff X or Command to paint the kitchen. Which of those would you recommend for kitchen cabinets? I LOVE the sheen in the Advance satin finish. Hoping for something like that.
Use this it's way tougher and looks somewhat like an alkyd and dries much faster.
I use this product at all the T-Mobile stores I paint in the Chicago land area it’s a good product
Awesome
Can you use on steps/stairs
With products like this is there any reason why some painters still use oil based alkyd for cabinets? The off gassing from oil paints is such a huge problem.
I use some oil, in certain situations. Depends on availability and quantity and when client wants job done. Also, oil still has big advantages over latex/water-borne paints. For instance, the commercial job I'm doing in a restaurant, latex has failed numerous times due to the traffic and environment. Off gassing can be mitigated by air flow, fans and ventilation. And should be motivated this way.
Would you recommend this for interior doors and or trim? I want to paint new doors black. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
No. use Advance
I've been wondering about these types of paint. I paint rental homes i hate doing touch ups.Most of the time the houses have differnt shades of the same color and gets irritating. I have noticed Behr has this type of paint also and and upgrade paint called dynasty. I use sherwin williams but they never have paint these days when i need it. I had to drive an hour out of town for 1 gallon to finish a job
An SW does sell a lot of junk paint.
SW is everywhere but they're always low in stock. I just switched over and accepted fewer store locations. Emerald is solid but right now nothing touches Scuff-x.
I use it for all my cabinets and re-paints on cabinets and trim. Sprayed the stuff goes on and falls like glass. Super hard in a very short time
Thanks for sharing!
How do you think the Scuff X will hold up compared to products like Cabinet Coat or Advanced?
@@petercerrato8447 I used to use advance until I tried scuff x. The deal with advance is it takes so long to cure. Great product but you better know how to use it. I like cabinet coat as well but this scuff x...man I'm telling you the next day it was like a piece of plastic had been form fitted to the wood and I had 2 runs. Both easily sanded out and touched up like they were never there. You can't go wrong with any of the three but scuff x is HARD to scratch and very forgiving.
@@Sirmaximus62 Thx for the info! I often brush and roll the exterior of the boxes... any experience with how it lays out?
@@petercerrato8447 yes sir. I use a foam roller. I will cut the edges in but the key is to work it into a fine layer. I don't load the foam roller up. I have before and gotten mixed results. Best results I ever got were 2 coats of foam rolling into 2 fine layers. Of course prep is everything but the foam roller for bodies has been great for me. They look sprayed after using the roller. The first coat is a little weird looking but the second...always been on point.
Would this be a product you recommend for mid-higher end apartments? I usually just repaint between tenants, but am looking for something that may allow some scrubbing/touch up. Is there something you’d recommend instead?
The product is amazing. Pricey but awesoem
I know this has nothing to do with this video I just started watching your videos, but Can you paint the exterior of you house using a roller and brush if I'm just a diy homeowner? (Vinyl siding)
Yes you can
That's what we did years ago before sprayers were a thing.
👌👌☘☘☘☘I think that the depth and technology of the job is very good, I think it is the fruit of effort and passion, I am proud, I respect you, I hope you will succeed deeply in your heart👍👍🧹👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure
Can we get a vid on prices and price increases . Going from a guy that does great work then forms a legitimate business. And how to handle people that aren't receptive to price change.
Great suggestion!
Which FFLP tip are people using for this for trim and doors??
TriTech 310
Hi
First im a beginner,
And to my question is Do you recommend or to be more specific is it ok to use airless gun to paint this product ?
Tnx
You briefly mentioned people have used it on cabinets. What is your opinion on this? I have heard many love it for cabinets and others say it won’t hold up.
Never For Kitchens you need 1 or 2k products for that to last. Pretty good For all trim and built ins or book shelves. It still can. Be marred it's not super hard
@@doomslayerforever2858 I’m having a hard time finding information on 1k and 2k. Also finding those products hard to locate near me
@@Monarchski 2k poly easy to spray with any professional airless or aaa.
I am a big fan of waterbased 2K poly for cabinet. Centurion 2800 series is the best I have ever used.
@@doomslayerforever2858 I bought a Tritech T5 fine finish for the 2Ks. Haven't tried it yet, but have heard great things.
Hi how will this paint behave on a wall in a detail shop with two bays if it gets light spray of water every once in a while or a runaway water drop here and there. Of Course a deliberate intent will be made not to spray towards the wall?
This stuff is amazing
Had to use “majesty” from Home Depot, it was the best paint I’ve ever used.
Good to know!
How much is 4 litres over there these days?
can you wet sand it? how long do you have to wait after application to do it?
Check the TDS
How does Scuff Tuff from Sherwin Williams compare to Scuff-X? Would one of these be a good choice for a front door or Emerald Urethane? Thanks
I would take BM over SW every day.
Really.. Would you use Scuff-x on a front door that is metal over the urethane? Would you use a primer that's maybe tinted a lighter color? @@Idahopainter
Nice!
Thanks
There's not a SW product that can compare to this. This stuff is one of a kind
Eh, I wouldn't say that. The pro industrial acrylic is comparable. I've used both. I think they both have their uses and advantage. Depends on the situation.
Scuff X held up where Pro industrial acrylic failed in high-traffic hospital areas.
@@toddbrown3055 alright good to know. Appreciate it
Do you use any 2 part components on walls?
Centurion 2800 series
Great. Video l like your channel
Thank you
Your video are informative but hard to watch, this video should have been 1/8 the time
Thanks for all the details, I will be using this in the future. I am a Benjamin Moore w****.
Nice
You should never have to caulk you're tape. With frog tape, make sure you run a putty knife to lay it down tight.
OK
Frog tape the best. If taped with putty knife, you can't beat the lines!!!
My contractor painted my kitchen cabinets...its oak and he did not use any wood filler...im so upset!!my cabinets look horrible in some areas...its behr oil based...can you sand down areas and apply wood filler and repaint!! Or would a good faux over paint hide some of the imperfections..
Where do you get your leads?
Door hangers
Satin or semi gloss for cabinets?
Flat 2K poly
Scuff x is the shit. My fav cab paint
I see lots of comments saying not to use it on cabinets... You never had any issues with it?
👍🏽
Do you need someone to work with you?
Sherwin Williams Emmrald matt finish is like that however scuf x is a better pricing.
EU is pretty good. Advance is better.
@@Idahopainter why is advance better than EU? Curious, because I use EU a lot and never had issues. Other than drying time. Thank you!
@@anthonycrum6722 I've been using EU for years this was my absolute favorite...With the paint shortage I started using Advance. It really is better.
@@Idahopainter Advance is, indeed, great. But super crisp whites will yellow in areas w no natural light. Scuff-X is my new jam. Dries hard like Advance, fast recoat, and no yellowing.
Welcome to the BM side
Scuff x matte or eggshell. I have children.
Good stuff
Matte
I CANT ORDER SCUFF X IN NEVADA!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 CAN ANYONE HELP!?!?
I got twins on the way and I don’t think BEHR scuff defense will hold up like SCUFF X
Why not?
I watch a lot of your videos If not all.... but this one felt like you were trying to SELL me the product, saying things over and over about the product, NOT a review on the paint... do a comparison to BEHR PAINT.
Who wants to put two coats on ?
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the view
It's a great product 👌 and he has more than 20 years experience and I trust him
