Fusion Mineral Paint 500 ml Bayberry

Absolutely loved this paint. It had come recommended to me by someone on Facebook whom I bought a piece of furniture off it.I used it to paint an old wooden table that I wanted to use in my kitchen. The paint went on like a dream - the first coat was almost enough to finish the job! A second layer finished it off and it looks absolutely perfect. It dried really quickly. I did the second coat the next day, but honestly could’ve gone back over it within about 30 minutes if I wanted to.Phenomenal value for the price. I’ve still got about half of the container left! Quality paint, very easy to apply, and the color was consistent throughout.I’ll definitely order again.

I used this product to refinish some antique furniture. It was wonderful to work with. It spread well, dried without any brush marks and was very forgiving of amateur painting techniques. It is pricey, but compared to Benjamin Moore Aura, that I used on another similar project it was much nice and easer to work with

I found this brand of paint while shopping and have painted a few dressers and bookcases in my house. It does not yellow over time and goes on really smooth. I did purchase the clear coat to put over the top and it also did not yellow. This brand of paint has so many amazing colors and if I have to refinish something in my home, this paint is my first choice. And if I am repainting over this paint, I just lightly sand with a 400 grit sandpaper and it comes out silky smooth.

It’s so easy to paint with this paint-you can’t mess it up. The piece I painted had a professional appearance when finished. Just love it.

Easy to apply, drys fast and covers well. Only needed two coats to cover bright red bookshelf.

This was my first time using fusion mineral paint. I have used chalk, latex, and spray paint for painting various pieces of furniture. Some people swear by these paints, but I haven't been happy with the results and keep looking for something different. I did a bathroom vanity cabinet with Annie Sloan chalk paint and don't like it that much, though I have to say it's held up well. I just don't like the waxed finish for that piece, though maybe it was my waxing technique. Since it's the only thing I have used chalk paint on, I am not sure if it's just the way of chalk paint and wax, or user error. Latex seems OK if it's on virgin wood, but over any other paint, even with primer it always seems tacky. And I just plain suck with spray paint, so I don't even go there, even though I know it is the best for a nice smooth surface. For a horizontal surface where stuff will get moved around on the top a bit, I wanted something more durable and also low VOC. I was thinking of using Min-wax Polyshades, which does make a very smooth and durable surface, and I have had good luck using it on other things. But would have had to leave the tables in the garage to off-gas for about a month, so that was out. After stumbling across this paint, thought I would give it a try on these end tables I picked up at a consignment shop for $25. I did prep, giving them a scrubbing with TSP and a light sanding as they had a varnish on them. The before photos are after cleaning and sanding. I left the dings as they gave it character. It took 2 coats for good coverage and I used about 1/2 the 500ml jar to finish both tables. The paint was relatively easy to work with. I was hoping the self leveling would cut down on visible brush strokes, and it did except where I overworked the paint. The legs are completely smooth as I didn't overwork them. However on the tops I had a hard time not overworking the paint and just letting it self level, so it's relatively smooth with some faint visible brush strokes. Which I don't mind too much so am leaving them. I could sand and do another coat, but am pretty happy with how it turned out. I would say what kind of brush you use will make a huge difference in how it turns out. I tried a couple different brushes - a round natural bristle brush I had from the chalk paint, and a Purdy synthetic brush. I found the natural bristle brush held a lot more paint and despite going on with more visible brush strokes they leveled out much better than when I used the Purdy brush. I did the first table with the natural bristle brush and the second one with the Purdy. The table top I used the Purdy brush on came out awful, so I ended up sanding it smooth and putting on the final coat with the round natural bristle brush. The legs on the Purdy brush table also have more visible brush marks than the one done with the natural bristle brush, but as they aren't as visible as the top I just left them. Overall I would recommend the natural bristle brush if you tried a good quality synthetic brush and didn't like the results. You seem to get surprisingly fewer brushstrokes with the natural bristle brush once the paint self levels and dries. I haven't decided if I am going to put on any other finish coats yet. It takes about 3 weeks for the paint to fully cure, so I won't be able to determine the durability with only the paint until then. I will try to write an update about durability as the tables see every day use.

I was sent request to review before the product was delivered. I was disappointed with amount of time it took to be delivered. I have since received and used. I have to say, it was worth the wait. I love how it applied, the evening of brush strokes and the finish. I am so glad I waited and didn't cancel my order.

I re-did my dining table and this color was perfect. Went on like a dream.
