Is the do It your self cabinetrefinishing system from Rust-Oleum worth the price?
This is a really good question. Whenwas the last time you were walking through the aisles of your big boxhardware store and thought, “Why don't they sell a hundred dollarkit for refinishing my
cabinets?”. Okay so most shoppers don'tthink that exactly. But its understandable why the Rust-Oleum cameout with this product. It looks easy, its all in one box, and ittakes out all the thinking. To the avid DIYer this is the holy grailof cabinet painting. So the product sounds like its a winner but isit really worth the price? Why don't I just buy a gallon of cheappaint?

Hugh...?? Well um it looks like buyingthe products individually is definitely cheaper. But the informationin the pamphlet and the DVD have to make up the cost. One thing tonote about buying the products individually instead of the kit isthat you can purchase more paint if you run short on your project orif you picked the wrong color.
So which way would we go? Its hard tosay. For the DIYer its probably better to get the kit. But for thepro painter it doesn't make sense to purchase the kit. Rather itmakes sense to buy all parts individually and use them on multipleprojects.
