This 10ml Rust-Oleum Kitchen Cupboard Paint tester sachet is specifically designed for you to confidently assess the "Green" color and its adherence to your existing kitchen cabinet material. Its matt finish offers a modern, sophisticated look. You'll find it performs exceptionally well in terms of durability, standing up to regular cleaning and the typical wear and tear of a kitchen environment once fully cured.
Real-world application: Before committing to a larger purchase, use this sachet to paint a small, inconspicuous area on one of your kitchen cabinets. This allows you to see how the green color appears in your kitchen's unique lighting conditions and how it bonds with your specific cabinet material (e.g., melamine, gloss, or wood). This test helps ensure you are satisfied with both the aesthetic and the paint's performance on your surface. Remember, even for this test area, two coats are recommended for the most accurate representation of the final look and feel.
Setup (Testing Application):
Prepare the Surface: Ensure the test area of your kitchen cupboard is clean, dry, and free from grease or dirt. A light sanding may improve adhesion on very glossy or slick surfaces, though often not strictly necessary with this paint.
Open Sachet: Carefully open the 10ml tester sachet.
Application: Apply a thin, even coat using a small brush or roller to a 30cm x 30cm area.
Second Coat: Allow the first coat to dry completely (check product label for specific dry times, usually a few hours). Apply a second thin, even coat for optimal color representation and durability.
Drying & Curing: Allow the paint to fully dry and cure according to product instructions before performing any durability tests.
Compatibility:
Surfaces: Ideal for melamine, wood, gloss cupboards, varnished surfaces, and previously painted surfaces.
Application Methods: Can be applied with a brush or roller. If using a spray gun, dilute the paint with 10-20% water as needed.
Care:
Once fully cured, the painted surface is tough, hard-wearing, and scrubbable.
For everyday cleaning, simply wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the matt finish.
