I am not a fan of painting over wood and stain finishes. However, I had a 40 yo laminate covered china cabinet that needed a face lift. After seeing so many spectacular results I thought I'd give fusion mineral a try. There is a learning curve to the application. Make sure your surface is properly preped. Do not, I repeat do not use heavy amounts of the paint on the brush. A little goes a long way. You will get brush strokes but it levels out. Though recommened one pot is enough to cover a cabinet. To be on the safe side order more than one pot if you have a large project. Also, I will purchase the clear wax to ensure nics and Mars don't remove the paint. Overall, I am happy with my first time use and how my cabinet turned out. Will use again for other projects.

You know how someone talks something up so much, you're disappointed when you finally try it because it doesn't live up to the hype? That's what the company did with this paint. It's a good paint, but it didn't live up to the promises. I bought 500 mL of chocolate brown to use on a China cabinet, and it wasn't quite enough paint. The cabinet has some dips and grooves, and I bought Fusion so that I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of sanding. Based on the company's promises, I also opted to not apply a primer. It took 3-4 coats to fully cover the original wood finish. I highly recommend sanding you paint!
The China cabinet is in a very low traffic area, so I've waited a couple of months to see if a finish was necessary. It is! The slightest graze of a fingernail over the paint leaves a scuff mark, so I can't imagine wiping a dust cloth over it in case there's a larger piece of dirt. There's also a scratch where the paint was completely taken off, showing the original finish, though I'm not sure what caused that.
The good things I can say about it -- it's a nice dark brown, so the color is just what I wanted. It also went on smoothly.
It would be a great paint if you're going through the prepping process of sanding and using primer, and then adding a finished coat of something. But by the time you do all that, it's not worth the extra cost of Fusion Mineral Paint.

I used one coat on both my wooden coffee table & end table, and then just touched up in spots that needed it. This paint went on so smooth & the coverage is amazing! I still have about a third of a container left after painting the bases of both pieces of furniture. It looks grayish green in the container, but it goes on as more of a grayish white which was exactly what I was looking for. Beautiful, easy to use paint!
