Forgot to add, the PPG had wear issues 2-3 years later on cabinets, the Grahams Ceramic lasted about 8 years before wear was noticed. We primed everything with Bin. Best adhesion primer.
When you can try out Cabinet Coat. Side note i paint for a living and somehting you need to watch for is the base of the paint. For example some paint is an ultra deep base color(black, neon brite etc) will lose hardness. Sherwin makes something called Multi Surface Acrylic. Its an industrial coating so you wont see it on the shelf. Its made so that 2hite all the way to pure black is just as hard and scuff resistant. The paints that win here could be vastly different if you want a darker set of cabinets so please keep that in mind. Any 1 has any questions feel free to ask.
Yes exactly! I tried advance in a dark blue and it was horrible. It never hardened and scratched so easily with my finger. Expensive paint and I had to strip it all off
@@wb4072 Sorry for late reply. Just saw this. Normally we use something called Multi Master from Cloverdale. Its super durable. Also Renaissance is super nice from them as well. Multi master is Cloverdale's version of BM command. Except I get it at half the cost. Nothing against BM but they overcharge for products in my opinion. For example Aura is 100 a gallon my price. Dulux Diamond is 40. Cloverdale Ecologic matte is 35. IMO all are as good as Aura.
We had terrible issues with Scuff-X micro bubbling. Its marketed for commercial, school, and hospital environments and thus not intended for fine finish applications.
I wished I watched this a few weeks ago, we bought a new fiberglass front door that I painted and wife picked a sherwin williams color so i decided to go with Emerald urethane as reviews i read said it dries to hard and easy to clean surface plus only had 4 hour recoat rather than 16 hr recoat time with my normal go to BM Advance. BIG MISTAKE this SW paint is awful! Yes it applied really nice, leveled out (i sprayed it) beautifully but and BIG BUT it scratches so easy and doesn't like to be wiped clean. I sanded near the door so the dust went on the navy blue door that I wanted wipe off, I was wiping dust off lock when my finger nail barely touched paint left a scratch that i had touch up (2 days after painting) then there were some smudges from install that i soaked a paper towel with just water, it left a mark where i lightly wiped door clean that needed touch up. Should have used my usual Advance, have sprayed several cabinets/vanities/etc.with it and that leaves a rock hard easy to clean surface. Looks like at some point in near future I will be repainting door with Advance.
C2 with hardener around $100 a us gallon in my area .. might as well buy FPE.. Command sprays great brush & roll sucks. Advance in pastel colors very good dark colors good luck takes FOREVER to dry. We have used them all including S-W Emerald semi and satin. Great reviews keep um coming really pisses off the losers….
WOW, love your videos. When you have question about paint, ask a painter! I'm paining 50 year old plywood kitchen cabinets. They have been painted no idea how many coats. Wanted your thoughts should I try to remove ALL of the old paint or just a good sanding? Think I'm going with the Ben Moore Command since I watched your video. What Shellac primers would you suggest? Zinsser BIN? Also best of luck with franchising your company.
Really surprised at the sw urethane. It’s easier to work with because of the quicker dry and hardening times… guess I know why now. I use the advanced a lot, just worried about the 28 day harden time and the fact you can’t do 3 coats in a day(well maybe a long work day lol) But I think it’s worth it. Some customers just don’t want to wait that long. 🤷♂️
I did not see the "wipe off" when he used bleach and water and on the flip side, I don't think SW was represented. I watched twice but I could have still missed it. BM-A seemed to have the same amount of mustard. I am quite happy with the durabilty of PPG
Problem with Command!!! It micro bubbles when you roll it, tried 10 different mohair and microfiber covers... doesn't matter. Tried adding extender, paint thinner and butyl cellosolve...still bubbles. I love everything about this paint except these micro bubbles make it a deal breaker for hand applying. Stuff sprays like glass. Use Behr urethane to hand apply, no bubbles.
Wonderful video. Thank you. I am in the process of deciding of I am going to hire out or paint my dental office laminate cabinets myself. I would really like to do all I can to get another 8-10 yrs. It's a tall wish but Go for the Gold - I say. SOOO I had thought I would go with Primer: Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond Primer. OR Zinsser 00904 B-I-N Pigmented Shellac Primer-Sealer & Stain Killer, ANY PREFERENCE HERE?? I am testing them. Then for the paint, I just need white. I was leaning, until I saw your video, towards PPG as #1, SW ProClassic Waterborne Interior Acrylic Enamel by Sherwin Williams as #2, the painter I am letting bid the job uses SW Emerald Urethane Enamel. I see below a shot out for something called Grahams Ceramic?? I would really appreciate you help. My business needs this and with loans, it's kind of tough so I'd like t get as many years out of it as possible. GRATEFULLY YOURS
Thanks for the info!! I’m about to paint my smaller kitchen (about 12 cabinets and 4 drawers) and want to use Command! I do not have a sprayer so I’m nervous about the application! Would you suggest a brush or roller for the larger areas and the big pieces surrounding fridge?! If roller what type?! Thanks!!
Hi, love your informative videos. I'm about to spray my kitchen cabinets so I researching for the most durable paint and I have a question about the video you did 5 months ago with the emerald urethane which you gave great ratings on but in this video you were not too crazy about it. Now I was sold and about to use it so what changed in this test? I was about to pick up laquer this evening but now I'm confused. Please help. Thanks.
Great question! Emerald paint does very well against most stains but oils is not one of them. Oils from fingers are easily and often transferred to kitchen cabinets. Emerald did well against cleaning stains off but did not hold up to the oils.
@@JOEYSC03 Lacquers will be number one for quality smooth finish. However, the cabinets cannot be painted in a home which makes them a very expensive option. Lacquer is very flammable. It is illegal to spray it in homes and dries to fast to be brushed or sprayed.
I see you did a SW Satin review. Would you say that it is a good buy? I'm looking to paint my kitchen cabinets but I want a durable finish. I do have access to Benjamin Moore as well as Pittsburg Paints.
@@Avital4414 in my personal opinion yes. Advance can be finicky to apply other than spraying. It has the nice finish look like advance. Dries much faster than advance. And truly scuff resistant. I love how scuffx feels after cured.
@@miladbehbahani5848 I think I oversanded some trim, and now grain and scratches are showing through the freshly primed (Fresh Start) and painted (Scuff-X) surface. If I re-primed, this time using BIN shellac primer, would that likely hide the scratches and grain?
Yeah I'd love to see a review of that Behr Cabinet Enamel. I went to PPG store today to get UltraLast , but it was out of stock and the guy couldn't tell me when it's gonna restock.
Hi George, thanks for the kind words. The hardener is by C2, which can be bought where ever C2 paint is sold. If you would like more product reviews and tips and tricks I invite you to Subscribe. I just but out a new video of Emerald Urethane Satin finish and it graded much better than Emerald Saeni-gloss.
Thanks for doing this comparison. Great info. Which primer would you go with for BM Command? You said it held up well with both, but any preference? Thanks again.
You're comparing trim paint to trim paint to trim paint... You really need to be t sting and ACTUAL cabinet paint (industrial wood coating) like Renner, Milesi, Centurion, Envirolak, ML Campbell, etc. This test is a race to the bottom with the slowest sedans. You don't even have a race car in the pack.
I like emerald urethane iam just
Started on the use of galley paint by Sherman Williams works nice.
Forgot to add, the PPG had wear issues 2-3 years later on cabinets, the Grahams Ceramic lasted about 8 years before wear was noticed. We primed everything with Bin. Best adhesion primer.

please review/test Beyond Paint All in One paint for cabinets. Thank you
Beat videos that answer every question I have thank you! You are a god send ❤
Happy to help!
Benjamin Moore Scuff X should be tested. That's become our favorite cabinet and trim paint. Breakthrough has always been trash, I never use the stuff.
Scuff x has been giving problems over the last few months but it’s a great cabinet coating system
We had terrible issues with Scuff-X micro bubbling. Its marketed for commercial, school, and hospital environments and thus not intended for fine finish applications.
Very good video! Have you tested Beyond paint all-in-one from Home Depot (especially against oil) ? Thanks for the attention

Add the Valspar cabinet paint to you list.

We have used them all including S-W Emerald semi and satin. Great reviews keep um coming really pisses off the losers….
You can use peroxide as a substitute for bleach to remove stains. Same results but less surface damage.
Yes, any type of degreaser is what I thought I said. Your correct bleach is not necessary.
I have used breakthrough and it’s a pretty awesome paint but obviously not the best. Spraying it dries in 3-5 minutes on a warm day
Yes, it is very similar to Ben Moore Command
What is your opinion on placing a clearcoat like General Finish or equivalent top clearcoat for added durability?
That works. We did that for a few years before we found cabinet paints that did not need that step.
I’d like to know if you can use an extender (like Floetrol) with Command in order to be able to brush it?
WOW, love your videos. When you have question about paint, ask a painter! I'm paining 50 year old plywood kitchen cabinets. They have been painted no idea how many coats.

Have you got a chance to try the new SW Gallery?
Sherwin-williams Kem Aqua Plus... Give it a whirl!
You ever try Sherwin Williams Deco Prime under Dunn Edwards Aristoshield? Been a great combo for me...

You should try the BM Cabinet Coat modified urathane and primer.
It sucks. I have used it a bunch. It damages easily. Dark base colors have no chance IMO
@@Akaya3511 What do you think of Benjamin Moore's Advance paint then?
What about the BEYOND PAINT??? I am really interested in that.
Could you do a review on lacquer based cabinet finishes? I understand Lenmar by Benjamin Moore is supposed to be really good.

The best paints that I tested are Command, Advance, and Ultralast.
What are your thoughts on using a laquer from Mohawk compared to the advance please?
@@JOEYSC03 Lacquers will be number one for quality smooth finish. However, the cabinets cannot be painted in a home which makes them a very expensive option.
Lacquer is very flammable. It is illegal to spray it in homes and dries to fast to be brushed or sprayed.
How would you compare Scuff-x to Command or Advanced for Kitchen Cabinets???
That's going to be my next test. Stay tuned or subscribe so you don't miss it. Great question.
I see you did a SW Satin review. Would you say that it is a good buy? I'm looking to paint my kitchen cabinets but I want a durable finish. I do have access to Benjamin Moore as well as Pittsburg Paints.
Curious to know too 👍🏻
Scoff-X would be an interesting comp
Yes my new favorite trim, door, and cabinet paint
@@miladbehbahani5848 better than Advance because of durability? Workability? Is it easier to brush?
@@Avital4414 in my personal opinion yes. Advance can be finicky to apply other than spraying. It has the nice finish look like advance. Dries much faster than advance. And truly scuff resistant. I love how scuffx feels after cured.

Hi! Curious if you have an opinion on Dunn Edwards Aristoshield Ben Moore Cabinet Coat?
Hi Tess, Dunn Edwards is a CA paint that does not make it over to the East Coast. I've never used it. It is not a Ben Moore product.
Hi Tess, for more similar paint product reviews please subscribe and you will stay up on the latest and greatest. Thanks!!
Thanks for doing this comparison. Great info. Which primer would you go with for BM Command? You said it held up well with both, but any preference? Thanks again.
Shellac primers are the best. They have the smoothest finish and grab the best. Also, they dry in minutes!! They do smell.
What version of breakthrough was used in this study? 50 is supposed to be really good 51 not so much, and the new 52 is supposed to be awesome also
I believe it was 51.
The v50 would have had results closer to command than the v51
What oil based primer did you use?
Zinsor oil primer
Any issues with a advance when tinted for very dark colors?
No. I have had problems with SW Emerald Urethane
Cabinet Coat?
Look into Scuff-x BM.
I did a review of Scuff X in April 2022. Its great paint. th-cam.com/video/8Bxr4OYx9Nw/w-d-xo.html
Is aura sufficient for cabinets?
It would be okay, but it not a cabinet paint. A better choice would be Command or Advance by BM.

With Command do you need to do anything between coats? Thank you~
lightly sand and remove dust
Where is Behr? lol
Very dumb name for a handyman business. Good video.
Thanks
