Paint SICO Furniture and Cabinets, Melamine, Base 1, 946 mL

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I tested the Sico cabinet/furniture paint over a four day period. I have used similar paint before on a bathroom vanity previously. The project I used for the Sico paint was a stool. I found it way thinner than what I used previously and it took four coats to cover some of the problem areas. I am not into multiple coats and found this very time consuming. My vanity only required two coats and it was a bigger project. The paint was fine, but did not cover enough of an area. It did dry fairly quickly, and the finish was fine. This was good for a small project. However I would use one of the higher end paints in the future.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I received a small pail of this SICO Furniture and Cabinets paint in exchange for a trial and review. I liked that this paint was easy to take to the chaise/long chair that I painted. The chaise was natural wood. I was able to do a beautiful job with two layers of this paint. The paint has what I consider a light glossiness to it which is great for furniture (tables, chairs, dressers). I wished it was a bit more thick in its texture, though. At times, the paint felt very "thin" and where the natural wood would show through, hence the two layers required.

I applied this product to my oak cabinets in Dec 2019. I took all the necessary preparation steps to ensure my cabinets would come out perfect. I took a whole week to complete my cupboards and they did turn out beautiful. After 3 months all around the handles Have started to wear and chip off. I did touch ups but it still would only last a very short time. It’s now Sept and it’s now have worn off completely. We will be selling our home and I will now have to redo these cupboards again. I see now there was another review with the same issue. Wish I would have seen it sooner. There are only two adults that live in this house. I can’t imagine if a family was using these cupboards continuously. Tried to upload pictures but it wouldn’t allow me.. very frustrating!!

[Cet avis a été recueilli dans le cadre d’une promotion.] J'adore utiliser cette peinture. Elle couvre bien les surfaces, donc 2 couches sont suffisante. Elle est super facile à utiliser. Sa consistance est parfaite, donc pas trop de dégât sinon facile de corriger les erreurs. Elle ne dégage pas beaucoup d'odeur alors pour un usage à l'intérieur de la maison et c'est très pratique. Elle se nettoie bien lorsqu'elle est encore humide. Le résultat après le séchage est braiment réussi. J'ai réhabilité un vieux meuble et le résultat est super beau, il est comme neuf.

I used this product a year ago to refinish my kitchen cabinets. They had been done by previois owner with white over oak with not great results. I used light grey on top and medium on bottom using an adhesion primer and then sico paint. I believe the key is to first clean with mineral spirits, the old fashioned smelly kind, not the new low VOC, as advised by a furniture refinished I know. I did the doors outside to minimize odour. I find the surface very durable and scrub proof.

I have over 50 years painting experience and this is probably the worst paint product I’ve ever encountered. Absolutely terrible flow and adherence!!! Sales agent recommended 8 hours dry time between coats, 24 hours later it’s still tacky to the touch!!! Tried soft cloth roller, sponge roller, natural bristled brush, synthetic bristled brush and nothing offers any difference to the application. Coverage is streaked and blotchy!!! DON’T Waste your time and money!!!!!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Last year, after much soul searching I decided to paint my 30 year old oak cabinets to modernize my kitchen. I knew I wanted white top cabinets and dark bottom ones, but needed to determine the best products to use. I researched both products and methods for weeks to ensure that I would have high quality results. I followed every important step. I cleaned my cupboards with T.S.P., thoroughly sanded them and painted them with BIN Primer Sealer. I applied two coats of Sico Furniture and Cabinet Paint (which claims to have excellent resistance to bumps) allowing several days between coats. This process took me many, many hours to complete. I spent more than three weeks working on them to ensure every step was done properly. I also let the doors cure for 29 days before putting them back on. When my cabinets were finished they looked fabulous!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I found the application really easy, it went on really smoothly, I was extremely impressed with how quick it dried, less than 2 hours and it was dry to the touch. The colour is perfect and looks so clean and new. Once it was dry the overall look was just what I wanted. I feel very refreshed about my first project and can't wait to do my next one. SICO paint provided me a very happy experience, which I will be very happy to use again and again.
