Beyond Paint Furniture, Cabinets and More All-in-One Refinishing Paint – Gallon - Color: Nantucket

I have an antique wrought iron bed and an old wood bedside table from our families that I wanted to refinish and use. Wanting them to match, I had a hard time finding a paint that would cover metal as well as wood. My mom saw someone recommend Beyond Paint on TV and suggested I try it. I didn't know how rolling paint on a metal bed with thin spindles would work, but I followed the manufacturer's directions and am thrilled with the results. As instructed, I just washed the bedframe with "Simple Green" degreaser and let it dry. I painted one thin coat and then another coat the next day. Easy peasy! I used a small chip brush first to fill in the intricate designs and then rolled the rest. Quick and easy! No sanding or removal of other paint. The paint claims to be self leveling. If you look very closely, I can see where the prior paint had chipped underneath. The texture of the dried paint camouflages this. You really have to be looking for flaws to notice any. I wonder if I should have done thicker coats of paint to get a better self leveling effect. Nonetheless, I am still extremely pleased with the coverage and results. The paint looked clumpy and unusable when I opened the can, but be advised, this apparently is normal. It took a lot of stirring, but it did eventually smooth out beautifully. Stirring the paint was the hardest part of the job! I wasn't sure how much paint I needed or how many pieces I might decide to eventually paint, so I bought a gallon. I barely made a dent in the bucket. I could have easily bought the smaller jar and had plenty for just the bed--even doing thicker coats. As to the table I mentioned, I have not tried the paint on it yet. My only disappointment with this paint is it claimed to cover anything without sanding. Upon further research, I discovered it may not cover old shellac. The table has cracked shellac that now has to be stripped. I thought I would be able to clean the table with the degreaser and just paint. Projects are never as easy as you hope! So, you may be able to go with a cheaper paint if you need to strip your piece anyway. I chose the Nantucket color. It is a blue with a green undertone. It looked like a Sage green to me in the can, but looked more blue as it dried. It is a nice coastal blue. Despite the fact I still have to strip my table, I would buy again and recommend Beyond Paint. It is a quality product that doesn't need the waxing and constant maintenance that milk and chalk paints require.

Amazing coverage and used way less then I expected. Easy to work with only a small ammonia smell. Bought a gallon and only used 1/4 to paint all my cabinets. Would recommend!

These paints are incredible. Goes on smooth, no primer or sanding which eliminates so much prep work and mess. Love it’s so durable and dries hard for great wear and tear. The paint goes a long way and you will be surprised at how little you use for the coverage required. I did both my vanity and vanity top.

I used this and found that the consistency was different from can to can, but coverage was good. I liked not having to sand, prime and repeat :) I may use again.
