Alkyd paint is one of the best types of paint for cabinets and furniture because it applies and levels beautifully, cures to a durable finish so there's no need for a topcoat, and best of all, is easy to clean up with water. Brands tested include: Benjamin Moore Advance, Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel, Insl-x Cabinet Coat, Valspar Cabinet and Furniture Oil-Enriched Enamel, Behr Urethane Alkyd Enamel, Dutch Boy Platinum Plus Cabinet Door and Trim, and ProClassic Acrylic Alkyd.
