Nuvo All-In-One Cabinet Paint Kit (Celadon Cove)

Nuvo’s Cabinet Paint in Earl Grey is such a game-changer for DIY projects. The color is a gorgeous medium gray with a soft, modern feel—rich enough to add depth but neutral enough to match almost anything. It instantly updates older cabinets without looking too dark. The paint goes on smoothly with surprisingly good coverage, even on older or previously finished cabinets. It self-levels well, dries quickly, and doesn’t leave streaks when applied with a roller or brush. The finish is durable once cured, and it looks like a professional upgrade even for beginners. A single quart goes further than you’d expect, making it a great budget-friendly makeover option. And best of all, there’s no overwhelming odor, so it's easy to work with indoors. If you’re looking for an easy way to refresh bathroom or kitchen cabinets with a beautiful modern gray, Nuvo Earl Grey is absolutely worth it!

I used the Nuvo Driftwood Cabinet Makeover Kit on the cabinets in my 5th wheel about 3 years ago, and they still look just as good as the day I painted them. No peeling, no chipping, no fading — the finish has held up perfectly through travel, temperature changes, and daily use. We did take the time to prep the cabinet surfaces thoroughly before painting, and I think that made all the difference. The kit was easy to use, the color is beautiful, and the coverage was excellent. If you’re willing to put in the prep work, this paint will give you a professional-looking finish that lasts.

I recently purchased the Nuvo Cabinet Paint Kit in Cocoa Couture and I am very pleased with my purchase. So far, I have repainted my bathroom vanity and this paint changed the looks of it dramatically. The vanity was once outdated and somewhat boring, and now it looks like a brand-new vanity. I added silver handles to all the drawers and cabinets and that really made the cocoa color of the paint “pop”. I am currently working on painting my kitchen cabinets as well. The Nuvo paint kit includes two paint cans, both one-quart, a small paintbrush for detailed areas, a roller handle and two brush rollers, a stir-stick, and a how-to booklet. This paint goes on with ease and covers very well. I used two coats of paint on my bathroom vanity and haven’t even used half of one can yet. I believe I will have enough to paint my kitchen cabinets as well as the vanity in our guest bathroom. When I first received the kit, I did not realize that I would need a stripping agent for the cabinets. After I read the instructions, I learned that they recommend the use of TSP (Trisodium Phosphate Substitute) to clean the cabinets before applying the paint. I purchased Klean-Strip no rinse TSP from amazon and it worked very well. I simply diluted the solution in warm water and used it to clean the cabinets. It takes a few minutes to try, then you use a dry cloth to remove any residue. After using the TSP, I used a 300-grit sandpaper to lightly sand the cabinets. I highly recommend this step because the cabinet paint will show any blemishes in the wood. For example, the clear coat on my cabinets was not applied smoothly, there were some areas where you could see some drip spots, and the paint made these spots more noticeable. After realizing this, I resulted to sanding the cabinets more thoroughly to ensure no blemishes would be seen. This paint dries very quickly. I painted my bathroom vanity in only a couple of hours- I let the first coat of paint dry for an hour before applying another coat. After only 10-15 minutes of applying paint the cabinets felt dry to the touch. A kitchen or bathroom cabinet make-over can easily be done in a single weekend! I think it would even work well on other wood furniture such as desks, dressers, tables, etc. as it is very durable. I accidently scraped the vanity with one of the drawers and it did not leave a mark.

I recently started DIY painting and decided to tackle my old honey oak outdated cabinet. I bought this paint because of the reviews and I absolutely love it! It was so easy to use and looks amazing! Love the result I am now going to go big and paint my kitchen cabinets! This is the Earl Gray color, before and after.

I did a lot of research on this paint brand and what kind of prep was required before jumping into my kitchen project. A friend of mine had recently used this paint on her kitchen in the summer and raved about the quality and ease of use. I have to say the paint quality is amazing. I think based on your prepping methods, painting methods, condition of surfaces pre-paint and then waiting for time to cure, are all equally important for results when using this product. My cabinets are original to the house, built in ‘86. They are oak, had the original stain/finish, and not properly cleaned in close to a decade. Needless to say, we had to do quite a bit of cleaning before we could prep cabinets. Just using Windex or an ammonia based cleaner was not sufficient for the task. There were lots of areas where the finish was worn through in heavy use areas, so we choose to sand prior to painting so we had even surfaces. I used titanium white on the top cabinets, and old sage on the bottom. I noticed that due to sanding, the white paint really seemed to soak into the wood. I have a total of six cabinets up top and it took the entire pint to paint all of them. Each cabinet face took 3 or more coats. The green color on the bottom took 2 coats on all surfaces. I used 2 pints for the entire rest of the kitchen. My only note about the Old Sage color; when you shake/mix your paint, make sure every surface you can paint in 20 minutes is ready to go. You will have to stop and remix your color. There is a chance the colors will not match, or you will have unmixed color lines if you need to do touchups. I struggled with this problem and consistently had to repaint the large side of the cabinets. Brush versus roller; With this paint, small or thin areas with a good quality brush is definitely best. Large or broad areas is best with a roller. This was true for both paint colors. I will update my review in six months to see how they hold up.

Used this paint for our kitchen cabinets and it makes them look so much nicer! Looks like new cabinets! I've purchased this paint a couple years ago to use on our bathroom cabinets and wooden fireplace and it looks great on everything! Colour seemed consistent for both sets. Easy to use and saves lots of money replacing old cabinets! Also not sure why it looks like it in the photos but the top and bottom are the same colour, the lighting in our kitchen is weird lol

The paint was very watery and even though I sandpapered the laminate it refused to stick on and I had to wipe off the paint quickly : the paint was practically dripping . What happened ?

Lovely paint -transformed our kitchen

I'm guilty of not writing reviews despite relying heavily on them, so thought I would take the time to say this is truly fantastic paint. It has a silky texture, is a beautiful deep navy/grey colour and makes my kitchen cabinets look really modern and chic. We took the time to sand down the cupboards lightly prior to painting, and then as instructed from the pack we sugar soaped and finished with a glass cleaner to ensure the paint grips to a very clean surface. The brush provided with the pack is really handy for the awkward parts of cupboard doors or any other furniture, and the wee roller was great too. Overall I am really pleased with the finish - the only thing I would highlight is the colour changes with the slightest touch up; ie if you have three coats on one part it is very obvious to see as it goes very dark, so be aware if you are doing any small bits once the paint is dry. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Really good product, easy to apply, very happy with the finish. Wish I had taken before and after pics - I love the look of my kitchen now.
