Very well done video. Coatings specialists of nearly 30 years here and I actually learned a few things from you. Usually my best knowledges come from the paint store reps at our local Benjamin Moore stores. I always wash cabinets with degreaser, let them dry overnight, sand the clear off, vacuum all surfaces, prime with Stix, try not to caulk, fill with Bondo putty/glaze, prime patches to avoid flashing, sand primer smooth, vacuum again, then finish with two coats of Advance. I built my own drying racks and install a make shift spray booth that I try to keep clean. Thank you for the sharing. New sub here.

Wow. Thanks for being transparent and sharing your knowledge. 👍

just remember to keep it real, if people are paying these prices for paint, you might be better off to get into cabinet-building. i know a carpenter friend or two who've talked about building them for a few years now, don't know what they're waiting for. edit: if it were me, i'd probably just do cabinet curtains when i build my own home one day. don't see the point in having cabinet-doors. they were kind of a nuisance as a kid having to open them a hundred times a day looking for something edible. besides, the elderly probably have arthritis.

I pretty much price them the same way.. over the phone.. take a few pictures and unless there is something off I can give them a firm price without a home visit. Did pick up a few minor changes to my pricing but more a few clearer ways to explain to customers why things were priced like they were.

Great channel, which I would attribute not just to your expertise, but much more so to your amazingly affable personality and fitness. Your channel is very de-stressing and pleasant to watch. I noticed you didn't use a HVLP sprayer for these cabinets, which is convincing me that I only need the Graco 395 PC or Titan 440 Impact for all my future home improvement projects. Too bad I didn't see your channel before refinishing my oak cabinets. Aqua coat would have helped a lot. I did 3 coats of Zinsser oil based primer, sanding before and in between coats, then two coats of Glidden Porch & Floor using traditional air supplied paint guns. (I've lots of experience with automotive paints, none with airless sprayers) I turned my whole kitchen into a paint booth, masked and sheeted it off and installed dual exhaust box fans in a window. A big problem was getting enough oblique light to see the paint surface flow while spraying. Used high intensity fluorescent 4' bulbs on a tripod. (Should have gone LED)

(2gal seems to work fine, despite everything says 6gal min). agreed, he gas a great personality and fitness. edit: maybe it's good to do the boxes and everything in-kitchen with an hvlp so less dust and overspray, but airless for anything that can be taken offsite?

I even have my own workshop where I work on the doors and drawers so Im only in the customers house for 3 days to finish the boxes then a few days later I return to reinstall the finished doors and job done. Customers really love that, they hate having their garage taken over and used to spray, sand, and use as a dry rack.

hello big guy, good work i have a question when start spraying, my gun spray big drops and at the end also, i used an old primer, im not sure if this the problem is causing the big drops at the start and end, every stroke i spray

I’m completely new to this bidding process, will the price you give to the customer be the final price? Or if there are unforeseen obstacles doing the job will the price increase(vice versa for lowering the price)? I appreciate any feedback!

I am fairly new to painting with a sprayer (Graco magnum X5) I have sprayed cabinets in a couple of my rental properties, without much concern with overspray, etc. For painting cabinet frames, could you hand paint and sand for similar finish with concerns of overspray or is the better option to plastic/tape/air filter? Is all the overhead, materials, built into this bid pricing?

I'm humbled by the amount of work that goes into the paint. That being said, I suggest looking into sourcing ready paint paneling, these doors are all mass produced and standarized, and at 115/door, you could do better on bottom line with material that would be an update on the cheaper 80's - 2000's with alternatives on hardware, that could be finished offsite and be placed to great results. Fantastic explanation of your process though.

Most of our clients will do it to update from a knob to a pull.

Why are you spackling before bondo? Are you priming the spackle first? I normally use regular 2 part bondo only--does that process have a downside you're avoiding by spackling first? I would have said that bondo doesn't stick to spackle (being the reason I asked about priming first), but I don't use the glazing very often, and never in that capacity. Also, what brand/type of spackle?

The glazing putty has no problem going over spackle. Been doing that for years. I also use the high solids 2 part bondo, sands in ~20 mins, with additional topcoat of the glazing putty (dries in minutes). The grains in the glazing putty are so small, that it fills in the rougher grains of the spackle and small air pockets of the bondo very well. The only thing is the high solvent ratio of the glazing putty makes it shrink back a lot, but 2 coats really helps.
