This product did the job perfectly. Coverage was excellent and the internal doors looked like new.

Top stuff- it's not a final coat! (poor reviewers)
It’s a primer undercoat. Just to reiterate what another reviewer has said, this paint is a primer undercoat. It’s function is not to act like a top coat and hide what is underneath. It’s is to provide a good bond to the surface underneath so that the top coat does not peel off. I have used it on several projects and it does this well.

Its actually pretty good
I bought this when repainting my kitchen cabinets. First I want to clarify, this is not a paint. It is a primer. Other reviews seem to think it's going to give perfect coverage, its not. It will however coat your surface well before painting. I removed the vinyl covers from my cabinets, and then sanded well, and cleaned any residue from them before using this. I found it easy to apply, quick dying and not too smelly. If you slap it on without sanding or cleaning the area first, you arent going to get a good finish. Read the instructions and it's good. I followed up with valspar paint and 7 months later its holding up great. I bought another tin last week and I'm now using it to do my mums kitchen too. Long story shirt, it's pretty good if you use it right.

Very happy with this primer
I used a mini roller with this primer and only needed one coat on previously painted white skirting boards and two coats on unpainted pine skirting boards as one would expect. Also, the tubs are designed so that paint doesn't spill down the outside when pouring into a paint tray. I liked that.
