![]() Watch all the youtube videos and do all the Google searches you can and see what luck people are having with certain products. Best thing I can tell you is try to find a local paint store that has a guy who knows what the hell he is talking about. I'm not an expert, but I've built and stain or painted probably 30 cabinets. are you cabinets made out of wood? Or MDF? or some other commercial heat wrapped vinyl that's common from the big box stores? Standard clean and prep would be TriSodiumPhosphate aka TSP wipedown after sanding with 220 grit sandpaper. ![]() I would likely stick with a mid tier cabinet paint with a top coat like a polyurethane since it makes a mechanical hard finish that will hold up really well. Bathroom cabinets don't see much wear, but do see a lot of moisture. If you use a sprayer you might need to depending on your equipment.īest paint? The answer is. To answer your question I didn't thin the primer or the paint at all. You can touch it and it feels dry, but if you leave a door or drawer closed overnight you will notice it will stick a little bit. It is dry to the touch in 4 hours, but honestly needs over 2 weeks to fully cure. It is a very nice and durable paint, but it has a long cure time. They were brand new, unfinished cabinets that I built myself. It's been over a year and I'm very happy with how they came out and well they have held up. I used Benjamin Moore Advanced Alkyd paint on my kitchen cabinets. Does anyone have this sprayer or a similar one that can give me tips? Will Home Depot let me take it back if I've used it a couple times (it's covered in paint from overspray). What am I doing wrong? I see people online spraying indoors with just a couple feet of plastic up and getting perfectly smooth finishes. But the plastic sheets are getting entirely coated along with the door. I expected a lot and taped plastic up in my workshop to make a little paint booth so I can do the front and back of one door at a time. I've played with the settings (more or less air, more or less material, thinned paint vs unthinned) and technique (closer/further, faster/slower) but it still looks like crap. It seems to be spitting tiny flecks of paint instead of doing a smooth coat of mist. I'm getting major orange peel (?) texture. But at this point I'd rather go back to painting by hand. After killing myself doing 2 by hand (4-5 coats of primer/paint per side) I bought a sprayer. I have 18 interior doors that need to go from dark green to white.
