I got the 16 oz can for shelves about 3 feet wide x 6 feet tall. It wasn’t enough. I needed a second can. I definitely don’t regret it though.I painted a mass-produced shelf cabinet with a laminate finish, but the paint adhered to it well. The before-color was ebony and the Amy Howard paint I used was a light-medium color called Java. I’d say it was just a tiny bit darker in pictures than in person, but I like it. The paint has a nice thickness, but I needed 2-3 coats to cover the piece. That’s FYI, not a complaint, though, because, in my opinion, covering an ebony piece of laminate furniture with a light-medium paint is a big challenge.Clean up was easy - soap and water.To apply the paint, I used brushes, fuzzy rollers, and foam rollers. Good coverage with brushes. With a sufficient amount of paint load, I avoided bristle lines; if you apply the paint sheerly with a brush, you’ll see them, but that happens with all paints I’ve used. The foam rollers were my favorite for applying this paint. They created a very smooth surface and got right up to the edge of the corners within the shelving, making the corners much easier. Unfortunately, I started out with fuzzy rollers, which made the coverage less smooth; that’s why I’m mentioning the better results with foam. If I could do it over, I’d use foam rollers for the entire project and touch up with a brush.The most surprising thing about this paint - I’ve never experienced this with any other brand - was its pleasant vanilla smell! It was like having an air freshener in the room. The scent is barely noticeable - just a hint of clean and comforting vanilla. It’s something that ADDS VALUE to this product. Not only does a person not to have to worry about a chemical smell, especially if someone is sensitive to them, but you get a nice bonus!For that reason, I give this product five stars.Five stars to Amazon delivery, too, for bringing the product to my door, on-time, undamaged.

This is the best furniture paint I have ever used.

I have painted alot of things over the years. I bought chalk paint when it first came out at least 15 years ago. This stuff is amazing. It goes on well, it covers, it feels good, it smells good and my tools are easy to clean. My work time has been reduced and I really like the color I chose. I am wondering if there is any downside. I am definitely using this again.

I am a a new mom and I have a 3 month old baby so volitile organic compounds were on my mind - I don’t want lotsa toxic fumes!! On Product it lists voc as 50, however ad states and I thought it was voc free ( per application it is definitely low voc as there was hardly any smell None really cept i noticed it when painting inside a cabinet closed in area ) This may be due to what is considered levels acceptable to be labeled as no voc in different countries. (Us 5 voc) ( but so u know it has some voc ) I really did like the product overall it dried fast. I may even purchase more items from them! Such as a clear sealer - maybe do a bathroom area next. It truly covers in one step - I went from ugly fire engine red to light nottoway blue one step. Remember it appears as a matte finish (milk paint) a little goes a long way (but remember it’s a small can) I loved the old fashioned appearance and it does wipe off easily thanks Amy Howard.

Paint is excellent. Bedroom suit looks stunningly new! Easy to apply! Highly recommend!

This paint is wonderful. It actually covers even a dark piece of furniture with a lovely pale shade of blue...AND it has a liveky fragrance!Easy to clean up after use.Received on time, very well packaged!

I really wanted to like this paint but I found it difficult to work with. It’s thick and dries extremely fast (tacky within moments) so if you overlap a brush stroke with an area that is partially dry it makes the texture really weird / not smooth. The “one step” feature didn’t end up seeming true - I found that it definitely needed primer (on bare wood) and a clear top coat (scuffs easily once dry). I’m fine with the end result but would not use this paint again.
