Cabinet Refinishing LIVE! 2K Poly Coatings.

What happens here

Chris Berry compares the long-term performance of lacquer-based coatings versus 2K polyurethanes. He notes that lacquers tend to chip easily and become brittle over time, especially in high-moisture areas like bathrooms. In contrast, 2K polies in his own kitchen cabinets have shown no nicks or dings after five years, demonstrating superior durability, scrubbability, and resistance to water, chemicals, scuffs, and scratches. He argues that 2K polies are far superior to both lacquers and traditional oils.

Goal: Compare the durability and performance of different cabinet coatings.

What they say

And I noticed lacquer based coatings, you know, chipping really easily, you know, um over time, especially in the bathroom, especially around my wife's side, um where um she um curls her hair, stuff like that. The equipment to do stuff like that was chipping, you know, the doors and stuff and the drawers up all around, you know, that kind of stuff. Um I noticed lacquer based coatings were very brittle, even in the kitchen. Um the utensil drawers had a tend tendency to get really chipped up really bad and um the cabinets after about two years they were white cabinets looked uh really bad. So, you know, I noticed now that I've been using 2K poly's for quite some time now, maybe like 5 years or something like that, you know, my kitchen, no nicks, no dings, um, holds up way better. Not nearly as brittle, um, more scrubable, more water resistant, chemical resistant, um, scuff resistant, scratch resistant. Um, my cabinets literally after doing them, I don't know, 3 years ago, four years ago, um, they still look brand new. So, um I got to say, you know, for your clients, you know, putting on, you know, a better finish is, um, always recommended. So,
