I used the rustoleum cabinet transformation kit in the dark chocolate color on my builder grade oak cabinets. I love the way it made them look but before I could get the knobs on, I see there are scratches and nicks from finger nails in the finish. Does anyone have a way to touch up these spots that works ?? Thanks! Denise

It is paint. It will scratch and dent. I have heard putting on the glaze helps stop this. This is why I won't paint cabinets again. I did once and it was a mess especially the ones over the stove.

Have you thought about a clear coat to harden the surface, as it is the kitchen I would go with a marine coating to help with water, and it's affects.

As a 'quick' fix, I was told to use a magic marker in a color close to your cabinets, you can go over the 'scratch' then wipe off with a paper towel. This will 'hide' the scratch for the moment

Lightly sand the area with 0000 steel wool. Then reapply the bond coat with a small artist paint brush following the instructions in your kit for dry times. When completely dry, carefully apply the top coat. I repaired mine this with good results. Good luck!

I just did a Hometalk post on this and a blog post: http://thriftyartsygirl.blogspot.com/2015/04/white-glazed-cabinet-transformations_18.html?m=1 I would recommend after you fix the scratches to put two coats of the supplied clear coat on so it will be extra strong!
