Just wondering if anybody here has used Farrow & Ball oil, and if so how was it right out of the can? Does it need to be thinned at all? Penetrol? Going on brand new cabinets probably, brushed.

Can't say I've had the priveledge (sp) of using it but I recently popped in to a local store and shook hands with the clerks and got some brochures. I'd love to hear any experience people have had with these products as well.

Right near where I live in Oakville there is a F&B Location. They have it all done up with their paint and paper. Its nice stuff. The patterns on the papers they make are hand rolled with the same paint they sell. I would like a chance to use it but I don't know If I will get to. Its insanely expensive. I don't have the brochure handy but some of the paint is about $130.00 a can. A double roll of paper is about $200.00+ a roll. That having been said from what I saw it's nice, but not that nice.

My brochure indicates you have to buy a minimum of three rolls of the wall paper. So it starts at about 600$.

Great stuff right out of the can.
Used the eggshell and high gloss oil.
Expensive but good paint.
