Rust-Oleum Green Kitchen Cupboard Paint in Matt Finish - Familiar Ground 750ml

We were going back and forth on this paint because all the review photos we saw looked different. We wanted a nice light green shade. It IS nice and green, but it definitely looks different based on lighting. In smaller kitchen with less natural light the paint will look more blue than green and same with overhead lights on and off. Also if your lightning is cold it'll look more blue. But it is green, and a rather nice shade. Looks amazing with gold detailing like handles and it's very modern looking.--Second: it covered our very dark orange wood cupboards pretty much perfectly - no primer, just a quick wash with a greaser removal (there's a red bottle one from B&Q that's specifically for grease removal on cupboards before painting). Then just paint. No sanding needed, no primer. It needed two coats. Super quick dry time. We did the whole kitchen, front and back of all cupboards, two layers in 6 hrs. Perfect weekend renovation project. We got two cans and ended up using one and a half for all of this. Extremely happy!!

I love this paint. I highly recommend it for kitchen cupboards and I’ve used it to give new life to melamine shop furniture. It’s easy to use, gives a great finish and is durable.

This is really good quality paint. It goes on easily with minimal tendency to drip. I love the colour (Branwell). I used a brush but it dried to a lovely flat finish without brush marks. The end result is matte, it looks like it should feel rough to the touch, but it's smooth. Brushes are easy to clean in water, and no odour. I used it to upcyle an old pine dresser.I definitely recommend this paint.

Rust oleum serenity. A beautiful subtle green with a sort of grey hint, the photos don't do it justice.Doing up 30 year old kitchen. Washed with sugar soap and rubbed down with fine sandpaper. Read the instructions, this stuff takes 7 days to cure so don't wash or wipe down too harshly before it's cured. Applied 2 thin coats, 3 for cupboard door under sink. Applied with a paint brush, 4 hours between coats.Extremely easy to apply in thin coats. This stuff goes a long way, done 15 doors/drawers (fronts only!) and still got half a tin left. Brushes wash easily in cold water.Now it's cured it's practically indestructible. Did a test, smeared with olive oil and butter, wiped with warm water and washing up liquid and didn't leave a mark. Thought, what the hell, and wiped down with bleach, it hasn't affected it at all. The before and after, yes they really are the same cupboard doors.I rubbed down the handles and sprayed them with rust oleum general purpose metallic spray paint in oil rubbed bronze.I haven't given a score for durability etc as it hasn't been done very long. Will update in a few months if any issues.Very pleased so far.15th May 2025I've ordered some more Rust Olium paint for another project so I thought I'd update my review. It's been 3 years since I painted the kitchen cupboard doors and they still look as good as when I first painted them. There were a couple of chips due to an enthusiastic puppy but I still had the original paint so was able to paint over them. The original kitchen was still solid, only the varnished finish on the doors had perished, this paint saved me having to fork out for a new kitchen. Highly recommended.

This paint is fab, however, be careful. I got 2 tins and 2nd tin was a slightly different shade but was noticeable. I did get a replacement sent which was OK so was happy in the end

This cupboard paint is beautiful. So easy to apply and coverage is impeccable.I painted a large sturdy bit old fashioned kitchen. We didn’t have the money to replace an entire kitchen but felt we could make it better with this.With two children and a dog this needed to withstand traffic. I have scrubbed it a number of times and still it is perfect.I am beyond happy with the product.

Love this paint! Does the job, beautiful colour, transformed my kitchen. Needed two coats on some places but it was to cover dark wood. Happy with product and would recommend.

Last time cupboards were painted with a normal emulsion but waxed over the top. Huge amount of work but worth it. Decided it was looking a bit tired but this time decided to try this paint. Great price and done with just one coat!! Lots of info on the Rust-oleum website about prep. The cleaning with sugar soap took longer than the painting!! Chose Serenity matt and it's definitely a green but with a grey tinge. It looks fabulous and we are thrilled with the result!
