Thank You Very Much for this video. i always wanted to paint my kitchen cabinets. but i realy did not know how to. i have watch this old house and ask this old house on pbs and mpbs right from the very first show. all of you are Awesome! :)

This Old House has always been an entertainment program. It has never been a how-to program. So I've been entertained by the pros dissing the job that Mauro and Kevin have done. Like : Man, I'd get fired if I did a job like that. I'd use a sprayer... I'd do this and that. The reality is that a handy homeowner would never hire a pro to do this small a job ( 10ft of cabs or so). I am such a homeowner that has painted dozens of feet of my own cabs in 5 homes. This is basically how I did them. No spraying, and certainly no pore filling. And as for the people whining about what brand of this or that, or how do I buy a brush or roller, you are not ready for this job yet. Go buy some cabs for the garage and practice on those. A 20 minute video is not going to teach you how to paint. Painting a few is going to teach you how to paint. As for me, I was satified with the video. First, it is free. Second, it was entertaining. Third, I did not need to learn anything from it.

You absolutely do not need to spray to get a professional look but you do need more prep than This Old House video. This is a must watch where a true professional will explain the different primers, paints and technique to use in order to get a perfectly smooth finish: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Yp9_psSupLTIpMY.html

Planning to do this as well. Same principal applies for particleboard laminate cabinet cases? Doors are maple shakers but cabinet box is a laminated particle board

Insul X has both the bonding primer and Cabinet Coat both which are manufactured by Benjamin Moore. The Insul x primer is one of the best on the market.

I love this old house but this video is definitely geared towards home owners. If you have a sprayer it definitely helps with a high quality finish. We use a primer like zinzer cover stain or an oil based primer then cover with Sherwin Williams Pro classic with alkyd or PPG Breakthrough for final coats but ask your paint store about cabinet grade paint. They will know what works best.

You spray cabinets and roll walls. Not the other way around. Paint sprayed on walls has to be thinned down a lot to get it to spray and it just soak into the drywall and texturing. If you have ever tried to wipe off a mark from a sprayed wall you would know that the paint just rubs off and you rub a hole into the texture on the wall. Cabinets on the other hand are smooth and need to be sprayed to not have brush strokes or roller marks.

When it comes to kitchen cabinets, it's always better to use oil base primer.

That’s the faucet Kevin and Richard installed.

By the way in this video they forgot to send the primer you always send the primer. And I guess the reason they did not spray it because homeowner does not have the money to buy a professional sprayer the one you can rent in Home Depot or Lowes are not meant to be spraying fine finish on furniture‘s those are meant to be do painting fence, houses etc.

A lot of people suggest spray painting, but I haven't seen many people showing how to do this in the home. It seems to me if one is not a professional painter, the investment into costs to do this would be daunting. Unless you are going to be spray painting a lot, you might as well buy new cabinets! Also, spray painting would require more than tape and a little newspaper to avoid over-spray depositing on the rest of the kitchen. Someone I know, having more money than most homeowners, hired someone to spray paint their cabinets. The painter took doors and drawer faces to a shop that was dedicated to spray painting, where the parts could be hung for painting. They brush painted the frames and sides in place in the home. For folks like me having a small kitchen and needing to do this job maybe once every 7-10 years, spray painting is just overkill.

use some aquacoat grain filler to get an even smoother finish

Do you paint the inside of the doors?

Do you use brush after used roller?

I hope I get a response. In materials it says 4 inch roller sleeves, high density. Then at the end of list it states Mister Rui Paint Rollers 4 inch polyamide. Is one for the primer and one for the paint? It doesn't indicate why two different types. Thank you in advance.

You can use oil primer what you can send very easily and dryes very quickly there is also bonding primer if you have an item you want to paint but you’re not sure if they use latex or oil or polymer or polyurethane paint you can always just put a bonding primer on it very thin and then you can put anything on top of it even on the oil primer you can use a latex finish. Drying time : You always have to thinking about the condition where you priming it if it’s a lot of humidity it’s gonna take forever to dry no matter if it’s water or oil base. After you prime something and you able to touch it without getting paint on your hand you can put it outside on the sun and let it bake for 30 minutes or an hour it’s kind of like the way they do it in a Commercial settings where they put it in the oven.

You’re correct

Make sure to use Floetrol in your paint, then you won't have any brush marks.

Needs oil primer. The wood tannin will bleed through the latex paint sooner or later no matter how many coats you put on it

couldn't agree more. I'm a painting contractor of 16 years. I always use oil based primer then acrylic topcoat. I like to sand before and after priming then a sprayed finish also.

thats what I've been told. Oil. But cheap undocumented labor gets you cheap, low-quality work. Ask any Texan.

Latex primer works just as good dummy

The original laquer finish is holding back any possible tanning issue. Bonding latex is fine in this application. I would only brush here to avoid any roller texture in both the primer and finish. I'm sure a close up video would reveal some sloppyness as the paint started to set up before back brushing.

Can you paint the inside of the cabinets or not?

Shellac primer is best and you should do a spray finish if you can. You'll be much happier with the results. If they were to do an up close look at the finish product all you would see is brush marks and orange peel, no thanks..

does air spraying look better than brush/roller or theres no difference ???

If your doing a large project...like kitchen cabinets...I would do the cabinet shelves with brush and then hire someone to air spray the cabinet fronts...don't try to buy an air sprayer from the large chains...they clog and don't work well...hire someone! I learned the hard way! Make sure you prep the cabinet fronts properly first...I used liquid sandpaper and a stiff brush...worked great.

So if you don't have a tack cloth can you use a microfiber cloth?

Vacuuming the dust with a clean brush attachment has always been my way to get a clean lint free surface.

Im confused. Are you rolling and then immediately brushing over what you rolled or are you rolling the first coat and brushing the second coat? Also, should you caulk between the panels and the rails and stiles frame the center panel? Finally, can you use spray primer in a can to speed up things? Thank you!

I believe they rolled the primer on larger surfaces, and then grabbed a brush for areas they couldn't get to with a roller. Maybe they also did a final wipe with a brush for consistent texture?

So you roll the paint on just to get the material on the cabinets and then you back brush or we call it laying it down with a really good quality brush that way you don't have the texture of a roller, so you can use a brush and a roller to put it on and then you lay it down with the brush very lightly and if you're using quality paint you shouldn't see any brush marks

Boat painters roll on the paint and then tip it off with a brush. The technique is known as "roll and tip". Look that up and you will find lots of help.

I'm confused...In the notes there is a link to INSL-X Cabinet Coat Enamel paint which is really good stuff, yet at 4:00 he breaks out the Behr paint. Ugg.. what's up with that?

wont water based primer and paint peel? i was taught to use oil based on wood surfaces to adhere best not water based. i once dealt with water based on wood and it peeled so easy

I had my cabinets painted professionally and the paint seems to scratch pretty easily. Is this normal or did the “pros” skip a step?

@michaelmcgee2026

Shouldn't scratch easily but that could be many different reasons. Didn't sand. Didn't use the right type of primer. Didn't use the right type of paint.

It's a really tough job to get right, cabinets take a beating people's fingernails constantly up against them when you go to reach for a knob or a handle if you don't take your time and you try to skip the sanding step you're going to have problems, it's a lot of money to have somebody come in and do it correctly obviously depending on how many cabinets you have

Did you figure out what they did wrong? Get it fixed or repainted?

Sheesh you’d think they were painting the Mona Lisa.

I think back to the days of Bob Vila. The bad old days. Today TOH is strong, vibrant and relevant. Keep on keeping on. Thanks.

if it has varnish you must use oil base primer !!!!!! then you can use water base paint !!!!!!

I would spray paint cabinets 100%. HVLP if you have it, otherwise airless
