Why Murray’s Modernized Furnishings Uses Italian 2K Paints- Because Your Cabinets Deserve More Than Big Box Brands

When it comes to refinishing your kitchen cabinets, the quality of the paint isn’t just important-it’s everything. At Murray’s Modernized Furnishings, we specialize in delivering high-end cabinet finishes using premium 2K paint systems from Italian brands like Icro and Renner. While many homeowners are tempted to opt for paints from big box stores, the difference in performance and finish is significant-and well worth understanding.

As Prescott’s Finest Finish, we’re committed to using the best materials in the industry to ensure lasting beauty, durability, and satisfaction. Here’s why our choice in paint sets us apart.

What Is 2K Paint?
“2K” stands for two-component, referring to the base paint and a hardener (or catalyst) that are mixed just before application. This combination chemically cures to create a cross-linked, ultra-durable finish that’s resistant to everyday wear, moisture, and chemicals. It’s the same technology used in high-end industrial and
automotive finishes-now adapted for residential cabinetry.

Why Big Box Store Paints Fall Short
Big box stores offer a variety of paints-including acrylic-latex, alkyd, and even water-based urethane enamels-which are marketed as cabinet-friendly. While these options might work for low-traffic areas or DIY projects, they’re not built to withstand the heavy use and cleaning demands that kitchen cabinets endure daily.

1. Lower Durability
   One-component paints are prone to chipping, peeling, and scratching over time, especially in areas where cabinet doors are frequently opened, bumped, or cleaned.
2. Long Cure Times
   These paints often feel dry to the touch within hours, but full curing can take weeks-leaving your cabinets vulnerable to dents, fingerprints, and smudges during that period.
3. Limited Chemical & Moisture Resistance
   Standard paints are not designed to withstand repeated exposure to moisture or cleaning products. Over time, steam from cooking, splashes from sinks, and even gentle cleaners can break down the finish, leading
   to discoloration, bubbling, or softening.

Why We Use Icro and Renner 2K Paints
At Murray’s Modernized Furnishings, we’ve chosen to work with Icro and Renner, two elite coating manufacturers based in Italy. These paints are formulated for industrial use and shipped to us from out of state-because we believe your cabinets deserve that level of quality.

1. Superior Durability
   2K paints create a hard, factory-like finish that resists scratches, dents, and wear. It’s built to last for years, even in the busiest households.
2. Flawless, Professional Finish
   Because we spray all of our finishes, you can expect a beautifully smooth, even surface-completely free of brush strokes, roller texture, or inconsistencies. The finish is clean, modern, and professionally executed, every time. Sprayed Italian coatings like Icro and Renner deliver a luxurious, factory-quality appearance that simply can’t be matched by standard paints.
3. Fast, Complete Cure
   Unlike traditional paints that rely on air drying, 2K systems chemically cure in hours-not weeks-so your cabinets are ready to use much faster and are more resistant to early damage.
4. Built for Kitchens
   2K finishes are resistant to both moisture and household chemicals, so you don’t have to worry about steam, splashes, or daily cleaning degrading your finish.
5. Fade-Resistant and Color-Stable
   With advanced UV protection and high-quality pigments, these paints retain their color and sheen far better than consumer-grade alternatives.
