Beyond Paint Counter Top Paint - Pint - No Stripping No Sanding No Priming, Bone

The paint quality in s good. However, packaging must be improved. On three occasions I’ve received broken lids. The last order was so bad that I could not salvage any of the paint and had to return it. The paint is expensive and packaging must be better.

I have refinished furniture the traditional way, meaning sanding, priming and painting. I needed to paint my sideboard quicky so I thought I would give Beyond Paint a try. My sideboard is an antique, mahogany wood. I cleaned it very well with Simple Green as instructed, then rinsed it several times with vinegar and water, let it air dry for 4 hours. I chose the off white and started to use the paint with the roller as directed and the chip brush. The first coat went on well, except for two areas on the top of my piece. The paint just started sliding off. I continued with the rest of the sideboard. I let it dry and gave it another coat. Again the paint would not adhere to these areas. I wiped the paint off of the areas and gave a second coat elsewhere. I let it dry overnight. There is definitely bleed through and not full coverage with two coats. I was able to cover up the areas that would not take the paint, but you can still see the wood coming through. My piece would definitely need 4 coats of this paint for a truly opaque finish. It looks fine for now as I want the somewhat distressed look. We will see how it holds up. For me I found that you cannot drag the paint with the roller or put pressure like with other paints. Just let the paint roll. You can tap the brush in the corners and the paint will self level once dry. Overall, it did take less time than usual refinishing, but I really should have sanded my piece prior to applying paint. It saved me time, clean up was easy and I am pleased with the result. I used 1 pint for a sideboard and have a drop left. My furniture really sucked up the paint. Not all furniture will come out the way those you tube videos show.

Our first project was using the blue beyond paint on bath cabinets. The coverage is absolutely unbelievable. Further, the blue seemed to be very durable, even after a short dry time. That said, the bone color did not provide nearly the same coverage nor was it durable after a day or two of dry time. I still believe in the beyond paint line. I’m just not sure why they were such a difference in the two colors.

I ordered 2 containers of this paint. When starting my project I noticed one containers consistency of paint was like cottage cheese. Clumping ever after being stirred with a mixer. I open the second container and it was creamy and easy to apply. I hat to throw away the clumping one. Luckily my project only called for one. I believe this seller sold me an old container of paint.

Love the color of this and pretty easy to use but even after sealing and 2 months gone by it still scratches down to old surface. I have to touch up and that leaves it looking uneven. Kind of disappointing for the most expensive all in one. I thought I would be worth it but not so good.
