Sometimes the quickest way to change a space isn’t new furniture or expensive fittings — it’s a simple coat of paint. And when it comes to giving kitchen cupboards or old cabinets a proper refresh, this V33 Renovation Paint in Anthracite Satin is exactly the sort of no-fuss solution that gets the job done.
It’s made specifically for surfaces like cupboards, drawers, shelving, and even fitted units that have seen better days. Maybe the colour’s dated, maybe the surface is scuffed — or maybe you’re just ready for a change without pulling everything apart. This paint is designed to stick straight onto tricky surfaces like melamine, laminate, wood, or varnish, without the usual drama of sanding and priming for hours beforehand.
The Anthracite Satin shade hits that sweet spot between modern and versatile. It’s deep without being too dark, stylish without being stark. Works beautifully with pale worktops, soft metallics, or lighter walls. It’s the sort of neutral that somehow feels bold and subtle at the same time.
And in terms of finish — satin is that lovely middle ground. Not flat like matte, but not shiny either. It catches the light just enough to look fresh and clean, while still being practical for everyday use.
A lot of people wonder what makes this different from standard wall paint, and really, it’s all about the formula. This stuff is tougher. Made to handle bumps, scrapes, greasy fingerprints — the daily life of kitchen cupboards or bathroom storage. Once cured properly, it’s built to last.
Here’s what people usually ask before tackling their project:
Do I need to sand first?
Not with this paint. Just give everything a good clean and degrease (especially in kitchens), then you’re good to go. No sanding, no primer needed.
What surfaces does it work on?
Loads. Laminate, melamine, varnished or painted wood, MDF, and even certain plastics. Always check the surface is clean and dry first.
How much does 2L cover?
On average, 2 litres will cover about 24m², depending on how absorbent your surface is. That’s usually enough for several cupboard doors or a couple of full units.
How many coats do I need?
Typically two for good coverage. Darker colours going over lighter may only need one, but lighter shades over dark might need that second coat.
How long does it take to dry?
Touch dry in a few hours, but like all renovation paints, it takes time to fully harden. Best to avoid heavy cleaning or knocks for 20 days to let it properly cure.
Can I use it on tiles or floors?
This version’s made for cupboards, cabinets, and interior woodwork. Tiles and floors usually need a different formula.
What’s the finish like?
Soft satin — smooth, modern, and easy to clean once cured.
Does it need a topcoat?
Nope. It’s built to be a standalone finish. Just clean, paint, and leave to cure.
V33’s Anthracite Satin Renovation Paint is perfect for when your cupboards are driving you mad but a full replacement just isn’t on the cards. Quick to apply, built to last, and with a colour that feels effortlessly modern — it’s the kind of project that gives your space a fresh new feel without the usual price tag to match.
