FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is Coronado Door, Trim & Cabinet Enamel?
A waterborne acrylic alkyd enamel for interior doors, trim, cabinets and walls. It flows and levels like a traditional alkyd, dries to a tough finish that stands up to repeated washing, and cleans up with soap and water. It's made for commercial, institutional and residential work.
What colours can I get?
Ready-mixed White (01), or tinted to light Benjamin Moore colours. Deep and dark colours can't be made in this paint. For those, choose Advance. Ready-mixed White can be returned; tinted paint is made to order, so it's final sale.
Satin/Pearl or Semi-Gloss?
Satin/Pearl (25–35 @ 60°) has a softer sheen for cabinets, walls and doors. Semi-Gloss (45–55 @ 60°) is the classic trim finish, shinier and easy to wipe down. Both have the same dry times and coverage.
Coronado Door, Trim & Cabinet or Advance?
Both are waterborne alkyd enamels with an oil-like finish. Coronado recoats in 4 hours, so you can do two coats in a day, and is the value choice in white and light colours. Advance has a longer open time, recoats in 16 hours, and comes in almost any colour, including deep ones.
How long does it take to dry?
Dry to the touch in 2 hours and ready to recoat in 4 hours at 25 °C and 50% humidity. It can be washed after 2 weeks and reaches full hardness and final sheen in up to 30 days. Cool, humid rooms take longer.
How much do I need?
A 3.79 L can covers 400–450 sq ft per coat. An average interior door is about 40 sq ft per side, so one can gives two coats on both sides of about two to three doors. Most trim and cabinet jobs need two coats. Use the paint calculator above for walls.
Do I need a primer?
Bare and new surfaces need to be primed; previously painted surfaces only need bare spots primed. On bare wood, use Fresh Start Undercoater K032 (also for cedar and other bleeding woods) or Fresh Start High-Hiding All Purpose K046. Bare metal, stains and smoke damage need a special-purpose primer, so ask us.
Can I spray it?
Yes. Use an airless sprayer at 1,500–2,500 PSI with a .013–.017 tip. If needed, add up to 15% water by volume for spraying. Give spray equipment a final mineral spirits rinse after the water clean-up to prevent rust.
Is it good for kitchen cabinets?
Yes. It's made for cabinets, doors and trim, with alkyd-like flow and levelling and a finish that stands up to repeated washing. Clean, degrease and sand, prime bare areas, and allow up to 30 days for full hardness before heavy use.
Sizes and shipping?
3.79 L cans in Satin/Pearl and Semi-Gloss. We ship across Canada, free on most orders over $249, or pick up free in Mississauga.
