Latex ENAMEL from any of those paint companies would do you well. (I myself prefer
Benj Moore and I'd avoid Behr like the plague!)

I did put a top coat of Minwax' "Water Based POLYCRYLIC" over the paint. It adds to the
"cleanability" and does help strengthen the surface.

Ditto. I've had just incredible success with Sherwin Williams Proclassic Waterborne Interior
Acrylic Enamel. Great, great stuff for woodwork, furniture, cabinets. Smooth as glass when
applied, looks great, stands up to 3-year olds. Check it out.

Waterborne Impervo. I am painting a deep color with a satin finish. Any suggestions?

Like Putz, I've had great luck with Benjamin Moore. I also wouldn't touch Behr with a 10'
pole. I've had equally great results with Pratt & Lambert, and based on some recent
experiences, I have put Sherwin Williams in the same category as Behr.

How does the BM Waterborne Impervo and Cabinet Coat compare? I'm trying to do as
much research as I can before I paint my cabinets. Any Opinions???

I don't usually follow this forum but will throw in my $0.02 worth. Prep is often more
critical than the topcoat. Have the cabinets been primed, sanded etc? Are you recoating over
old paint?

I'm using the Cabinet Coat paint on my kitchen cabinets and woodwork. I discovered this
wonderful paint in the Home Decorating forum and the following link will give you more
information about it:

I've used CC and it's great but it only comes in light/pastel colors.

We painted our cabinets a deep Tuscan Red using BM's oil-based enamel (Impervo I think).
Clean up was more difficult, of course, but they turned out nice and the finish has withstood
pounding from my granddaughter's push toys.

We actually have had excellent results with Behr. We have painted cabinets in two
bathrooms as well as a TV cabinet in our bedroom. We lightly sanded the surface to rough
it up and then primed with Zinzer (make sure it says 'for glossy surfaces'). We have had
them painted for a couple of years now with no sign of wear.

Prior to that we had used a paint called Quick Solution Acrylic. The nice thing about it is
that it does not require a primer. The colors are very limited, though, and it isn't available
locally any more.

Having millwork done in my entire house (remodel...), want my kitchen painted, and
possibly some other built ins as well. Is enamel paint better than lacquer and varnish?
Would you also use it in living room or children's room? We're using BM-paints.
We don't have small children, I'm more worried about splashing water around the
sink-area...

One of the problems with just about all the paints now on the market is the reduced VOC
rules making the pait excessively thick and preventing good leveling after application.

Add Floetrol to latex paints and Penetrol to alkyd paint to improve the handling and
leveling.

About 4-8 ounces per gallon seems to be right most of the time.

I usually add it in a paint bucket to the paint and leave the can of paint 'straight.'

I am ready to repaint my kitchen cabinets. They were painted white but they get really dirty.
I want to repaint them White. What is the type of paint to use that will be durable and
hopefully stay clean. I would also LOVE A GREAT shine to them.

"I would also LOVE A GREAT shine to them."

There are number of full gloss acrylic paints available.

The need some Floetrol for leveling, but dry to a hard glossy surface.

Stick with an enamel paint, one of the hardest. Save some paint.
