I have 100% success from every sale of Emerald Urethane. Home owners and pro contractors. I always recommend an ultra soft high quality brush (Purdy Syntox) and Mohair roller. No matter the sheen the end result will be smooth like it was sprayed. This looks like this is put in too heavy, over worked - maybe the wrong tools. Don’t blame a product for human error.

r/paint on Reddit: how bad is SW Emerald Urethane for cabinets?
March 25, 2025 -
honestly, how bad is SW Emerald Urethane for cabinets? 1 coat of primer, 2 coats of Emerald Urethane. yes, I know there's a lot of hate for Emerald Urethane for cabinets, it's not meant for cabinets. yes, I know there are a lot of better options. but how bad is it really? what can I expect to go wrong with Emerald Urethane?
What if cure time doesn't matter? Cure time shouldn't be an issue for me, cabinets won't be used until fully cure anyways (~30days)
Lastly, please don't recommend other brand lines/brands to me. I'm just an avg consumer, not painting myself, just getting feedback from contractors I'm interviewing

Who the heck told you it's not meant for cabinets ? It is literally a urethane with a 5H hardness making it perfect for cabinets. Gallery or 2k Renner might be better if you can spray but come on, Emerald UTE is perfect for cabinets.

It's not bad at all We use Emerald UTE Semi Gloss for kitchen cabs in our rentals. Holds up great. And we apply it by hand / using 3/16 velour mini rollers. The key for us was to full prep (degrease, sand, wipe down etc, extreme bond primer, then (3) thin coats). The cabinets with the UTE is very washable, no issues at all. Are there better products? Sure. But we get it for $50/gal and it's hard to beat for that. And it's so easy to apply even our handy guys can do it and it comes out great.

Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Tint For Trim and doors - thoughts
July 22, 2021 - Hi, Just got off the phone with Sherwin Williams. I painted my walls SW alabaster and the trim pure white but the colors are too similar so back to repainting the trim. SW suggested Emerald Urethane tint for trim in high reflective white. Would love to hear from anyone that has this paint!

Found myself at Sherwin Williams and I was told Emerald is the best to use. Hard, durable, long lasting and harder than paint with polyurethane on it. On the 8 chairs, sanded, primed and painted with SW superpaint which I like.

Discussion - Any one have experience with SW Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel Hybrid? | Signs101.com: Largest Forum for Signmaking Professionals
3 weeks ago - Hey everybody, In the 10 years I have been in business (1 man business) I have gone through a few different brands of paint in an attempt to find one that fits my needs and is durable for the customer. I live in a historical town and they are a little behind the times but require the use of MDO signs for business owners so I do a lot of those. The latest paint that I have been trying is the Sherwin Williams emerald urethane trim paint.

Sherwin Williams Thin Paint Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel | DIY Home Improvement Forum
April 30, 2023 - Apparently not a simple answer to an easy question. Sherwin Williams on their product label label and store state not to thin this paint. To use an HVLP spray gun, you have to thin the paint. I had a Graco X5 in the past I sold from lack of daily use. I used it to spray this same paint on my doors and it sprayed great (without thinning) though it ran through the paint like nothing.
