Tough finish, highly recommend multiple thin coats. Do not apply thickly. I used a foam roller for each coat. One can gave me 3 coats each on an armoire, dresser and night stand.

I love this brand of paint. I have used half of the colors they offer. Now, I have done a lot of painting of all types because I am an artist an a designer. I truly freaked out when I opened the can of black paint and it was navy blue. I thought, maybe it just needs stirred more. Nope, still looked navy blue. Even running down side of can it is navy blue"¦.BUT, it dries black!"¦lol. I have never had a black paint that started one color and then turned black as it dried. So, now I'm relieved and still love this brand as much as ever😊

Pros: Where do I start?!

Cons: Nope.

This. Paint. Is. MAJIC!

I feel like I can say that with some credibility, being that I also make and sell my own paints (watercolors)

Other than painting on paper though, I recently have updated my entire house, floor to ceiling, and I love a good DIY moment. Being able to save some dough, get creative, and wind up with a custom piece... what could be better?

So right now I'm making a MegaDesk, inspired by my weekend stay at a lovely little B&B in Scranton, PA - Schrute Farms, maybe you've heard of it? The irrigation suite was delightful!

Anyways, that was a reference, not an actual anecdote, and if you understood it you get a gold star.

But, in all seriousness, I decided I did need to create a giant "MegaDesk" for my bedroom/office where I run my small business - everything from production to marketing to shipping, as well as painting for fun in my spare time - happens at my desk. Despite using every trick in the book to maximize my space, I just did not have an adequate surface area to work with.

I bought 2 cube storage shelves to serve as the legs/foundation of the desk-counter hybrid, and hit the hardware store to have them cut the top for me. It was supposed to be a white melamine panel, but the store screwed up and I wound up with a very heavy, albeit sturdy, panel of sanded MDF. It measures 7.5ft L x 3ft W (roughly the size of a twin bed).

I had no idea how I would take the panel from a raw, sanded finish to a surface that was resilient, pretty to look at, easy to accomplish, and wouldn't cost a fortune. Yikes.

Chalk paint? Epoxy? Contact paper? Enamel? Spray paint? Ugh.

The Amazon gods demonstrated mercy and my search resulted in this miracle paint. Reading the reviews, I was like - OMG! Tile?! Appliances?! No WAY!

It says on the can to prime raw wood, but I took my chances just laying down the Diamond Hard Majic Paint over the dry, dust-free panel. I bought 2 quarts and I don't think I'll even finish the first one.

First coat went down so easy and by the time I got to one end of the panel, the other was dry enough for a second coat touch up type deal.

One more solid coat and it'll be perfect. I am so beyond happy and can't wait to use this on other projects throughout my home!

I have used his paint in several colors and it sticks and covers over all different painted and stained surfaces.

No sanding needed, used the beautiful color called Serenity and two coats covered dark wood of a curio cabinet. It's more reasonably priced than the Heirloom brand and goes a long way. I bought a quart and in addition to the cabinet, painted a console table and end table and still have 1/3 of a can.
