Forum Title: Kitchen Cabinet paints?

What is a good Kitchen Cabinet paint. We will only use BM or California paints. I tried finding the other threads about this with little luck. I have used Oil Impervo but it's to costly. No SW and especially no HD or lowes paints.

I really like California's NexTech waterborne enamel. I also like BM Advance, but between them I like Nextech better, it blocks quicker. With both, especially with Advance, HOs need to be know that it takes a while to develop a good hardness. With both, more so Advance, 2 coats in a day can be tough, but some PT members do it. BM recommends 16 hour re-coat. Fans, 75 degrees helps this a bit, but not as much as if the paint was acrylic. Nextech comes in satin and semi. All bases. For acrylics, I like Cali's Ultraplate. It's an acrylic urethane. Very good. Similar to BM Cabinet Coat, but better application. Not as rope-y. Very hard finish. Like Cabinet Coat, Ultraplate only comes in white and pastel bases and satin sheen. In another thread I tried to come up with BM trim paint choices, but, other than Advance (especially for cabs) I don't think BM has one.
