Fusion Paint (Coal Black)

Delivery was next day. And the paint is excellent with good coverage. And the colour was exactly what I required.

Love this paint! Used it on all my doors and bannister last year and still perfect! It does go a long way but I still bought around 4 tubs for the house

Fantastic product from a brilliant seller who posted next day. Highly recommended!

Great quality product and great value for money. Size is good. Coverage is great, paint quality is amazing and finish is perfect.

Great product, addicted to this brand as such a fantastic product on furniture.

Excellent product! I absolutely love this paint. Great on furniture and even leather!

Love this water based paint!! I’ve used several colors for various projects. It always goes on thick and smooth often only one application is needed. Zero fines. Dries quickly and comes in a huge variety of colors. On this particular color I enhanced antique oak dressers to match my black iron bed. The results are beautiful! See before/after photos!

This is one of the best paints I have ever used! I live in a mobile home, so all of our trim+cupboard+cabinets are covered with thermofoil. I was told that I’d NEVER be able to paint over them without removing the thermfoil by sanding and using primer. But, let me tell you, this paint goes right over top of it! It’s been over a week, and with 4 cats, a dog and a child, the paint had held up, no scratches, no paint chips, looks just as good as the day I painted. It does take two coats to fully cover everything, but it’s very easy to apply with a a good paint brush! Also, easy to clean with warm water! I’d recommend using a very good brush, makes it much easier! The container seems small, but it goes a LONG way. I highly recommend this paint!

Makes painting furniture very easy

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.
