Client is always right 🤣
They carry Reclaim in my local hardware store. My wife did our kitchen last year with Reclaim Paint and it still looks great. Also did an old dresser we had in storage and then sold it at a garage sale. Was so easy to use and now she's looking for more projects to do. She loves it and is talking about trying their counter top kit next. Keep you posted
you make it look so easy....she was lucky to have you teach her how to do the job. it looked great. you are a great teacher.
WOW, that kitchen really pops now. Love it. And, it didn't look to difficult to do.
Not a fan of that color combo with the sky blue counter but it sure is cheaper than new cabinets and tile.

Could this be used over fiber board cabinets that have had bubbling on the surface from water damage? Do I need to sand it first...add bondo or something to make it smooth? Any ideas would be appreciated...might be selling and want the cabinets to look much better than they do now.
I like the change and wonder if the counter can also be painted. The green now really begs for a color change.

Looks like a nice rough dried out dogshit when all said in done, any painter would not recommend this product. And by the rough dogshit look, just try it yourself on tile.
I'll never understand why people want to paint beautiful wood cabinets just because they are a little dirty. To me no paint beats the beauty of wood. A good cleaning, lite sanding and lite finish in the dirty areas around the edges is all that's needed. Much less work, less expense, and much prettier than grey paint !

I wont either. BUT that was NOT beautiful wood nor a beautiful wood tone. No grain character to it, I would paint it too. I would have tiled over the tile, rather than paint it but it looked to me like she was focused on savings.
I liked it alot..
We use a type off that paint for stains on walls and sealings and the onley way too clean for that paint is ammonia 25% otherwize it wont stick forever.
Specially formulated paint!?? Oh that's a big help
I liked the way the grey came out. I would have kept the yellow and changed the counter top but I know that is more expensive to do. My bathroom is actually painted half grey and half yellow. A lighter shade of grey though.
That was so easy 👍. What was the exact brand of the paint please? Thank you
I'm thinking of trying beyond paint for my kitchen cabinets white on top and grey on bottom. What is yourselves take on this paint not a lot of reviews out there
So what type of paint exactly?
Forgot to mention the cupboards have laminate stuff on them...some of it peeled off. Where do you get this paint? What is the name of it?
Everyone’s likes are different but it looks nice. I am with a lot of other viewers stating it should have been stained to match the molding around the window and most likely the rest of the house. WAY MORE WORK but it keeps the character in the house. I like the paint too and maybe down the road she addresses the countertop and it will look excellent.
if i want to renew the color of the tile again and again, what should i do?
Looks good...paint that window trim white it will look a whole lot better!!!
Should have painted the hardware silver...Also, you can paint countertops to look like granite, or even marble would look amazing, and finish them with a high gloss epoxy!
That would save a great deal of time!
Cupboards and tiles look better but counter tops, walls and appliances also need updating to finish the look. Could also consider painting the window trim white

Jo Thomas Jo - They didn’t say they were doing the whole kitchen in this episode. If you want to get technical, they could change plug outlets, lights and whole new windows, a new granite countertop, new ceiling, doors, baseboard trim and insulate the walls to R20. Simple! Hope you are rich.

Bryan Wilson I didnt say that they did. Im not rich but i have eyes and can tell that just painting these kitchen cupboards and tiles doesnt improve this kitchen especially when the colour they chose doesn't complement the rest of what is left. The phrase "polishing a turd" comes to mind. How about you spend more time painting your beat up kitchen instead of ragging on at me about a harmless comment i made ages ago.

Beyond Paint is the name
I love these old cabinets. She should have just had them sanded down and restained the same color...then got a new countertop. That would have looked awesome. Or, she could have used a bar of dial soap and washed them. I did that to my Mom’s pine cabinets (1964) and they looked brand new. I saw that on an old episode of “How clean is Your House” and it worked.

Beyond Paint bonds to anything
I would be very skeptical of products like this. It's just like those "paint and primer in one", it's all marketing. There is no substitute for good prep, and old worn out cabinets should be sanded, defects filled and hardware replaced if you want to expect long lasting quality results. I will bet that tile paint flakes off within a year or two!

Don't want to know what the texture is like. A little sanding goes a long way.
Never paint cabinetry it takes butiful wood and says i am cheap so sad!;-(
First of all, why so timid with the cleaning detergent? Gal, spray it on there and wipe it down like there's no tomorrow! Second, why didn't they sand the wooden surfaces before painting? The paint would stick much better with a nice little 240 grit sanding.

It looks like 1960? Not to mention the wood was very ugly. The paint looks great and a redone countertop would make most of you who dislike it be shocked with a marble countertop. It would make it even more attractive by a long shot.
Hmmm...The window frame stuck out after the cabinets and back splash were painted; it would look better if painted white. Counter top could be replaced with butcher block, to bring in some warmth that was lost when cabinets were painted.
That is the shortest kitchen I've ever seen. His head is almost at the ceiling.

What's with people choosing gray for their kitchen? It's like everyone seen this color being used a bit too much on those fixer uppers improvement shows. I think that grey color looks depressing. It looks like what people would see in a fixed income apartment complex.
???
Want to see a hr. Glass test vs. 100 proof. , Mustard, red wine . No prep. work aside from a poor cleaning. No prep. Sanding or sanding between coats. That's a sure way to NOT achive adhesion, abhesion or co- adhesion.
For a few bucks, she could have replaced the hardware and truly transformed her kitchen
