Hello, we had a house fire so we had to refinish our built in wall cabinet. We completely sanded it down & over a 2 week period applied 2 coats of Kilz & 3 coats of latex satin finish Olympic paint from Lowes. We let it dry a few days between each coats because our house had moisture. Last coat I put a fan on & waited 3 days to put the drawers back in & shut the cabinet doors. I left everything open & off to ensure drying. Now EVERYTHING scratches it. From a bowl, to the buttons on my jeans barely touching it. I’ve had to retouch it up 2x. Plus it’s sticky! Any ideas on what I did wrong or advise I can do so I can touch it up once more & hopefully won’t scratch anymore. It’s been 3 weeks since last touch up. I called Olympic paint & they said it wasn’t cured but several people said that had nothing to do with it that it shouldn’t scratch that easy or be sticky. Please help!!!

Is it scratching off the paint and primer or just the paint? The problem could be the paint. Yes, it does take time for a full cure, 3-4 weeks total time, but after a couple of weeks the paint film should be well formed and take a little abuse. If the problem still persists I recommend repainting with a better paint.
