Chris thank you!

Thank you for so much helpful info

OMG it took me 2 full days to mask my kitchen like that. I absolutely could not mask with the plastic sheeting. It was like I need 6 hands to hold it from folding onto itself and catching the tape. Had to toss it every time and finally switched to paper but couldn't get the paper/tape roller (same one you have) to line up for more than 3 inches. LOL.

Great stuff guys

Great work...

Dang guys! This was super helpful! 👍

85% prep 10% paint 5% clean up , it's all about the prep, The only thing I do different is I bring the cabinets and drawers back home to my shop and spray. I prefer to stay out of a customers home as much as possible, since I paint kitchens solo, my job time is much higher then yours, 7-10 days on a average, also depending on any glaze/antiquing work added to the finish. If I have a customer who can't afford a sprayed finish and is on a tight budget, I offer a brushed and roll version; (using a Dunn Edwards primer/ oil base product) and the time is cut down usually to two days. Great video, this can help teach all the new and seasoned painters who stayed away from painting cabinets.

Not to be funny but if they can’t afford it then stay away from the job. Why waste your time and energy, that’s the issue, everyone is a painter nowadays and everyone who watches a TikTok video wants to do the same, so much competition that charges people less than what the job is worth

Y’all are doing Gods work. 🙏🏼

When I mask cabinets, i find it helpful to use 2 inch tape to give your outboard facing tape more purchase on the masking, and cabinets, and this makes the "double bind" more secure, which should help prevent blowouts.

Do you do anything different to prep cheap builder grade cabinets that have the thermofoil on the exposed ends of the cabinets. Does it sand ok? Do you just clean, and prime it first, then sand? Great videos! Very helpful! Thanks

We use masking paper with lacquer proof green tape. Lay down blue painter's tape first. Paper doesn't flake, so no need for extra expensive plastic masking. Run the paper wider than what you need and wrinkle it back, afixing it with blue or green tape. Just to note, blue tape doesn't like to stick too well on other blue tape.

if your not painting as a job u can just use regular plastic but u have to wipe on a mixture of cooking oil and baking soda. the baking soda neutralises the acid in the spray. and the oil dosent dry out so the baking soda wont just fall off from using something like water. or maybe water works too just test it out

The blue 3m rolls have static cling. I could see drywall dust move towards it on a sunny day. It also clings to surfaces which makes it easy to do tapping.

Do you have to sand buildup where the back masking meets the back side of the opening?

How do you get the plastic so perfect on the tape for the cabinets I tried doing it and couldn’t want to scissors but it’s sloppy and plastic hangs over do they sell the plastic pre-cut for the cabinets ?

Can you mask cabinets with rosin paper instead of the plastic or will it bleed when overspray gets on paper?

I like masking the same exact way, but, I prefer to do the sanding first, than vacuum dust and clean before masking so as to not damage the integrity of the tape and leave the possibility of blow outs. Awesome video though!

Michael Perez, the only issue I presume would be the dust carrying over into the customers cabinets and creating a large mess within; that creates a recipe for displeased customer. After plastic and prep sand. Start at a higher section and use a air compressor air and lightly remove dust, then vacuum, at the end I use tack cloths or a lint free cloths several times to make sure. Another trick that works well is to tent off work area then cover the cabinet and drawer faces only ( but plastic stove, fridge ect..)then prep sand, wipe down cabinet surface; then vacuum counters and floors. You then use a damp cloth, wipe the floors and counters and finish cover prep and place clean paper on the counter space and floor area.

Doom Punk yeah, them tac cloths are absolute money makers! It is smart to mask off all the appliances beforehand so as to save any issues cropping with dust and damage. I dig your moves man, I like your style!

thump up guys, that a lot of tapes and papers and plastics lol

I tried this method, but had problems with paint bridging from the face frame to the tape, causing a nightmare. Do you just re-mask between coats?

Do you cover the tops of the upper cabinets? I assume it’s not necessary since nobody will see it from eye level, but just curious what industry standard is.

Do you guys sand the frames?

That plastic is ok for laquer? Cabinets I’ve just always used premium paper green . I’ve had problems with stain bleeding they the paper. Also u could mention liquid sandpaper 👍🏻

Do you send the surfase?

I am about to start my kitchen and I was thinking of just using garbage bags for the drawers , taped in.

When taping off around the dishwasher, it seems like that inner lip adjacent to the dishwasher will never get sprayed , right ? Or do you touch it up later ? I’m just wondering how you get to it if the dishwasher door remains shut during the spraying.

Normally yes, in another video, they mentioned this. They only wrap the drawers like that when the drawer front doesn't come off. There are 2 in my own house that the front doesn't come off. Guess it depends on the type/manufacturer of cabinets.

Less speed. More detail on how you tape your corners and appliances.

Why not use 48 or 24 inch plastic? 2 to 3 times as much tape. Just my opinion

I'm seeing this quite often that no one paints the insides. Why is that??? More materials and time? I sprayed one of my barbershop buddies apartment cabinets. Did everything as far as a tremendous amount of prepping ,masking and door removal to then spraying the insides and out two years ago because I thought that's what these job entails being that I've never done cabinets before. Now as I'm typing thinking damn isn't this what body shops do as well.🤨😂

Micheal I would strongly encourage you to take the time to score, lightly, where the tracks are for the drawers and remove them to allow easier taping. Also remove the faces for easier spraying. You'll find you have much better results if you do. If you have the ability I'd remove dishwasher and microwave as well

Nice job personally I would have removed the two screws and removed the face of the drawers. Hang em and spray em. This type of work creates alot of waste for prepping. Wrapping the entire drawer like a Xmas gift is a no for me.

We are so disappointed. We just had our cabinets painted and can't believe the the mess and work we are left to clean. The cabinet doors were taken to another location and sprayed , everything was brushed and rollered. We removed quite a bit from drawers and cabinets to clear openings. He didn't even come close to doing anything like this to protect our things. He did a wonderful job, was very kind and friendly but right now we are overwhelmed and angry. Our guess is that when he did the light sanding he used a vacuum he brought and that was the issue. Guessing it wasn't cleaned out and or filter was filthy and what was going in was being pushed out into our hone. We took pictures, we have 4 rooms that are in a blanket of white. Well I have vented , doesn't Change anything , but anyone watching and reading .... be vigilant. Now my old stained cabinets don't seem so bad. To top it of we all suffer from respiratory issues from Covid and I already was allergic to dust, we did spend a lot of his work time here gone because of these issues. They won't be receiving what they think.

I'd sooner replace the cabinets.

also why dont u use rubbish bags to cover the body of the draws instead of masking paper

I can't believe you're spraying lacquer in people's houses. Hopefully they're out of town for the week. I will agree it is the best finish and it sets up fast in between coats. But the stench is horrendous and it lingers for days.
