Friendly tip: Try using a smaller tip for the face frames. That gun was laying down a huge pattern, save that 515 tip for the side of the house. Use a 300 series tip, something like a 311 or 315, it will give you a 6 inch pattern, it will cut down on overspray and save paint. If you go with the economy grade latex paint that you showed, it lays out better if you thin it down a bit. Add a flow additive, especially if it's in a warm climate. Better yet, ditch that paint, it is not for cabinets. DIYers attempting this should go with an acrylic-alkyd paint from SW or BM, its the closest to a professional finish, it will cure rock hard and are water based for easy cleanup. That latex will get eaten up quickly if there are kids man handling those cabinets. "kids man handling"? well you know what I mean. I just realized that this is a Lowes video, so use their Valspar Cabinet and Furniture paint. I like the comments of those who saw how much work is involved, that is why it costs a bit to get them done professionally! But if you are a handy DIYer and have patience and are not afraid of work, go for it, buy a sprayer and spend the weekend fighting with the wife, shoot paint everywhere, make memories!

Unless you got a shop then Just do white melamine or other sheets that comes pre-painted, then use a table saw to cut all and put edge tape using iron and pre glued edge tape. Lastly build then use counter sink screews, wood glue, nail guns and no dado needed. Finishing up just install the cabinets use a jig for all your hinges and shelfs. Lastly a DAP or other silicon inside the cabinets.

Finally a great cabinet painting video! Wow! Amazing!

The hanger idea is absolutely gold ty for that. Also I liked that this showed HOW MUCH to sand. Nice video.

5:52 I would highly recommend clamping a piece of wood to the back side of the cabinet to keep the back side of the cabinet from splitting when the drill bit pokes through. This is especially important for 20 year old cabinets that are going to be dry and extra brittle.

What tip you use and what is your psi set to is also good tips to give. I use Fine Finish tips when spraying cabinets.

A couple tips from someone who does this on a regular basis. Most importantly don’t use the masks they use, get ones that have carbon filters since those actually filter out the chemicals in the paint fumes not just the dust. Put the marking number on the actual cabinet where the mounting hardware is with a pen/ sharpie and cover it with tape to it doesn’t get painted. If you have soft close hinges mark which goes on top and bottom so you don’t have to adjust later on. Use oil primer instead so you don’t have to sand before painting the primer since it grabs on better. If you paint the inside too it will look much better. If you have space you can cut down 2x1 boards to four inch pieces and put two screws in them to place the doors , paint only the top then holding the sides flip the door so it’s on the screws then paint the other side and edges to put the paint on a flat surface if you don’t know how to use a paint sprayer so the paint doesn’t run.

@@perzperez6316 - That depends on your choice of paints, but most modern paints rely on a perfect prep and prime as the foundation for a perfect coat. The rest is completely reliant on your method and quality of the product's application. That being said, there are cases where if you wait too long between coats (usually over a day) you'll need to wait ADDITIONAL time to let the product cure and sand it before another coat. Moral of the story... Don't do that. Researching your paint is something that starts with " Cool... Let's pick a color!" and eventually turns into "Aughhhh!... I give up!" Hahaha.

You will really need to dial back the pressure on that airless spray or it will make work sway, a lot (making for uneven paint coverage). Also, don't curve your spray pattern by turning your wrist like demonstrated here... That will also make the pain go on unevenly. Keep the spray head perpendicular to your work at all times. Make sure the holes from the Hanger Hack are on a surface not easily seen... Touch up the holes at the end.

you are good guys keep it up

The hardest part of this project and the most important is Prep and clean. Cleaning with TSP is very important then sand lightly with a 220 grit but I found cleaning with TSP 3 times made the primer and paint take better and last longer. If you can't spray your paint use a Zinsser BIN PRIMER SHELLAC BASE. Yes I know it is hard to work with and dries super fast but if you move fast don't worry about the looks some areas might look lighter then others but I found when it dried it was smooth as a babies behind. I gave it 2 coats using a Mohair roller NOT A FOAM ROLLER. FOAM ROLLERS LEAVE LITTLE RAISED MARKS THAT NEED SANDING. The mohair rollers 4" & 6" are great. The Sherman Williams store recommenced these and they really do make the difference. They cost more but when you put that final coat on without any sanding it looks as if you sprayed them. I was first doubting all this but once I started and finish I brought 1 of the doors into the Sherman Williams store and they could not tell if it was sprayed or rolled. Try it. I now use the mohair rollers on my flat finished doors as they do not leave that bumpy look like a foam roller does.

We use 3M advanced plastic sheeting attached to a hand masker. These items are an investment, but totally worth it on a large project like this (even if you only use it once). Another tip is before attaching your plastic, to tape a ring around the outside of each frame to create that perfect line and allow flex of the taped plastic pieces.

I just used a spray to paint my rental property cabinets and it was very easy. We hand painted the frame tho

You guys are awesome! Your hubby is too funny!

Hey guys We have a plastic wrap thst was shrink wrapped on our kitchen doors and drawers. Can that be removed and primed painted and sealed?

The hanger hack is old school, and it leaves you with two holes in every cabinet that you have to fill and touch up after. There is a method that works better and no holes to fill in the end. Also I love how amateurs always use a water based latex acrylic thinking that it will last as long as the original Laquer finish... huge mistake, HUGE!!! This is a good way to change the cabinet color but you will have alot of maintenance that comes with this method of painting. Good luck and happy painting.

Great question. For upper cabinets drill into the tops of the cabinet doors and they will never be seen. For the lower cabinets drill into the bottoms of the drawers and doors (so basically they’re upside down. Again the holes won’t be seen but you could always dap a little wood filler into the hole. Lightly sand and very carefully dab a little paint on them perhaps using a Qtip. You don’t want to accidentally touch your flawless sprayed finish with a brush or anything.

I am a professional painter and work on high end residential homes and have painted tons of cabinets . Your vid was very informative, but you made some mistakes . You need to use "oil base" primer for cabinets . It will bond better and seal away any grease that you may have missed . You also need to sand the primer smooth, then use a vac with a brush attachment , then use a tack cloth to wipe everything . The finish paint should be an industrial enamel paint . It will be more durable . I like the hanger idea . Keep up the good work , but try to loose the corny jokes and robotic script . Tell viewers how long the project will take and how much material you used , along with cost and savings doing it themselves .

The problem is probably not the sprayer. None of them, even my $800 four stage HVLP won't spray latexes if I don't thin them...a lot. Latex paints are made for rolling or brushing, not spraying. A quart cup gun cup takes about a "mouthful" of water. Stir it thoroughly, then try it. If it doesn't come out smoothly when tested on scraps or cardboard, thin it a bit more. It is done largely by trial and error.
