- Black painted furniture is highly desired today. But it's nearly impossible to eliminate that annoying, streaky finish when applying the protective topcoat. Valspar Cabinet & Furniture Oil Enriched Enamel Paint is a water-based paint that claims to offer the protection of an oil-based paint without the need to topcoat. Is that true?
I also put to test the "brush on, roll off" method touted by Shannon at Black Sheep House. Does her method work to create a smooth, brushstroke-free finish? - Jak na to + styl
Really glad you showed how you fixed the drawer guide! I never even thought I could fix that.
You sure can! If you ever have drawers you’re not using, save all of the glide components for future repairs.
Bravo 👏 amazing job ! I’m gonna start painting an old hutch and I’ll follow your steps 😊thanks for sharing !
Just gorgeous.Thanks for the inspiration.
Beautiful work. I do follow black sheep. She’s funny and keeps things interesting
Beautiful I love the contrast between the black and the light wood. Beautiful! ~ Funkensense 💚
Thank you so much!!!
I love the color contrast! Very creative! Keep it up!
Thanks Andrew!
Gorgeous piece! Excellent work!
Thank you Adrian. And thanks for your feedback!
Very nice. Smart looking dresser. Am going to use these very products and was looking for a painters method of application. Very helpful. Thanks. 🌞🌱❤️
Beautiful finish. Great video quality as well. You seem thorough and neat with your painting… otherwise you probably wouldn’t be able to use that paint in your den! 😊 great job!
That made me laugh! Yes, painting in the den was a one and done kind of thing. 🤣
It looks so good now.
nice joc.
Looks great!
Wowsa!!!! Love ❤️ it !!
Thanks Stephany!!!!
Amazing work!
Thank you Tara!
Looks really great I absolutely love that I'm going to start to painting I haven't done anything yet but I've learned so much from all of you people I'm really excited to😊😊
Thank you!
Do it! Even if you convince yourself you’re not ready for one reason or another. B it’s so satisfying to give a piece of furniture a new life!
Wow that turned out amazing and sophisticated. I subscribed and I bought enamel paint!
Thank you so much!!! Let me know what you think of the paint. What words would you use to describe the feel of it? Yummy kept coming to my mind. I did a scratch test weeks later and some of the paint did scratch off. Boo!!!!!! I sealed it with poly. I will definitely keep using this paint because I love the texture of it as I brush it on. But I will topcoat it. In my most recent tutorial Im about to post I sprayed it on and I didn’t get the same smooth finish when it dried as I did when I hand-painted it. Isn’t that interesting?
Fantastic finish
Thank you Kylie. It's such a fun paint to paint with. Great texture!
I love that paint. Seems much easier to use than chalk paint. Nice job!
Thank you! And it is a great paint. Just be prepared to have to add a topcoat if you’re painting a dark color.
Really like this one!
Thank you!
I'm enjoying your channel and Shannon's as well. I will give this paint a try, I usually use Fusion and General Finishes but I think this is more economical with great results, plus they can mix whatever color desired. Dry time for recoat is a bit longer, but that might be okay.
Thank you! Yes, definitely give it a try. I did this piece a year ago. While I have continued to use it, I have found that it DOES, in fact, need a topcoat for darker colors. Otherwise, you leave dusty looking fingerprints on the painted surface every time you touch it.
lovely!!! what varnish diid you use? what brand?
I like the fact that she more or less does this as a "one off", revealing the trial and error issues that we all run into. I noted that she repaired some of the drawer corners also (with the same putty?). I would have liked to know how she did this.
It’s been a while since I did that dresser. I know that I used wood glue to reattach that corner piece that was broken off. And then I think I filled the crevices, which were very small, with Durham Water putty.
I’m new to your channel - very pretty piece! You did a wonderful job with the repairs!
I’m going to try the your same paint as I have a piece similar to yours to paint. What finish did you use for the Valspar? I see it comes in flat, satin and semi-gloss?
Thank you!!
Hi Karen, thank you! I use the satin finish. It actually has a bit more of a sheen than other paints. My personal experience is that when I paint a dark color like SW’s Caviar (black), I leave what looks like dusty fingerprints on the piece unless I use a topcoat. Other people who use it have not indicated that’s an issue for them. Let me know what you think of the paint. It’s such a nice paint to use with both a brush and a sprayer.
Beautiful end result. So in your opinion, at the end of 3 weeks, do you feel the hyped durability is there? I know it is hard to say without doing a discreet scrape test somewhere lol, but did you feel comfortable selling it without a topcoat? New subbie. Oh and I noticed you had a few orbs floating around, at 9:36 one is on your shoulder. You have a friend keeping you company!
Thank you for your kind feedback - and for asking about a scrape test. I just tested three areas with my fingernail as well as a screwdriver, and the paint did NOT hold. Eek! This is the one and only piece I haven't been able to sell, despite marking it down twice, which I thought was so peculiar. Now I realize that was by design because now I have the opportunity to properly seal it. And yes, I did notice what you're calling orbs. I wondered the same thing.
I noticed the orbs as well!🥰
@@tableflippinghousewife oh no that is so disappointing. getting ready to use this exact paint in navy blue. idk how to seal it
@@cking2002 I’ve use this paint many times since that original project. I now add polyurethane to my last coat of paint just to give the piece some added protection while the paint cures. I also often prime depending on the finish I’m painting over. I’ve had no issues with it scratching since then.
@@tableflippinghousewife do you use oil based poly or water based? I have just started using the oil enriched paint so I am taking notes!!
Ty for the info, do you remember how long it took the valspar enamel paint smell to go away?
It doesn’t have much of an odor to me. I just painted something with it this past weekend. I don’t smell it anymore.
Would this be a good paint for a kitchen table or is there a better paint to use for a table that will get wiped down a lot?
Yes, this would be a great paint for your kitchen table top. However, even though it has a built-in topcoat, I would still recommend that you apply a good topcoat to at least the table top for durability. I’d suggest Dixie Belles Gator Hide or polyurethane. Several coats of the water based poly would work (the oil based would add even better) to protect the surface from water and food stains as well as wear and tear.
Beautiful! What color black did you tint it?
Thank you Jordan! The color is Caviar. Apparently two different companies have a black called Caviar so look at the paint chips of both to see what you prefer. If I can remember correctly, they were very similar. I waited a month before posting it for sale to allow the paint to fully cure. However, when I did a scratch test in two different areas, the paint did scratch. Boo! So I gave the piece two coats of poly. I continue to use this paint, though, because it's so nice to brush on, but I mix poly into the paint for the last coat of color and I spray a coat poly on as well.
i know you also mentioned a top coat? i have this same exact brand and I'm painting my cabinets, off white with a semi-gloss finish. which topcoat should i use?
Hi Rachel. This was the first time that I used this paint. I did a scratch test on one of the legs after four weeks and a little scratched off. Eek! So I brushed Varathane's Polyurethane in Clear Satin over the painted surfaces. (FYI - I have since switched to using the Matte Finish. It has less of a sheen which I prefer). I continue to use this paint at times but now I add the poly to the paint when I spray or brush my last coat of paint; roughly a 2 parts paint to one part poly. I feel it gives the piece the extra protection it needs. Technically you shouldn't have to topcoat. My first application may have been using error. But since I resell my pieces, I always topcoat everything to some degree. Let me know how your piece turns out.
Can I ask a crazy question?? Do you know what base they mixed your Caviar into? My Caviar was mixed in a base 4 and it looks charcoal on my furniture- not rich black like yours.. and I used the Valspar Cabinet and Furniture paint
Mine is also mixed in a Base 4. How many coats do you have on it and has it fully dried? Because I remember thinking it looked like a dark charcoal as I was painting it but it dried black.
I owe you an apology! I went to get more of this paint from Lowe’s and they pointed out to me that both Valspar and Sherwin-Williams have Caviar and it was the Sherwyn Williams version of Caviar that they had mixed up for me. It’s SW6990. I am so sorry. I remember when I requested it the first time based on Shannon’s (Black Sheep House) video, I told him I wanted black. They must’ve figured out that what I needed was the Sherwin-Williams version. I apologize!
No need to apologize! I ended up finding another black in the Valspar furniture paint that looks great.
However! I have painted three coats of Valspar black, plus 2 coats of 50/50 Varathane poly and Valspar mixed over the past 5 days- and when I gently put the drawers in this morning, it nicked the paint super easily! Much easier than latex or Annie Sloan chalk paint. Have you found this Valspar paint to be easily chipped?!? I’ve spent days and. Lots of money on painting and entire bedroom set- just to have it chip immediately?!? What am I doing wrong??
@@sarahgendernalik885 with Valspar Cabinet and Furniture paint? No I definitely haven’t but I did have that happen with another brand of latex paint (can’t remember which one). It’s VERY frustrating. My paint wasn’t chipping but it was peeling away where there was friction. I did a video about it. I discovered that the drawers were rubbing against the frame of the dresser as I was pulling them in and out. I had to sand the sides and in some cases the bottoms of some of the drawers to create a clearance. Also, check the back of the can of paint to see if you allowed the correct amount of dry time between coats of paint and top coat. I presume you prepped the pieces (cleaned, scuff sanded etc), yes?
I just finished a chest with same paint and after it had dried it has a white chalky residue when touched.any idea on how I can proceed from here?
I know!!!! I have continued to use that paint and have always had to add a topcoat. I talk about that in my videos all the time - asking if other people leave dusty fingerprints on that paint. Put a topcoat on it and that will be resolved.
Can a topcoat be applied for added durability?
Absolutely. I’ve continued to use that paint line and that’s what I do for my last coat. I add polycrylic to the paint. 😎
Did you sand between the coats of dark paint?
Not that I recall.
What sheen did you use? Satin? Semi-Gloss?
It was a satin sheen. I find their satin sheen to be a bit more shiney the others, but it's ok.
I'm a journeyman painter... I can tell you Valspar is garbage paint
Thanks for your feedback. I like it except for the fact that if you don't topcoat it, you leave dusty fingerprint marks every time you touch it. Ugh! What paint do you like to use? I'm always open for suggestions.
