The slow dry time is great for paint leveling while provides for the amazing finish. It does make the job harder though, for sure. Looks nice.

I just finished painting my kitchen cabinets with Benjamin Moore Advance and I laughed out loud when you said "Day 50,000 of painting the kitchen"!🤣 So true!!!! What I thought might take me a week took a solid month to finish with my space restrictions (could only work on so many doors at once) and the very long dry and cure times. Worth it in the end, but you don't realize how much surface area you are actually dealing with until you are too deep into the project to back out! Your project is looking great!

I’ve experimented with Annie Sloan chalk paint on kitchen cabinets and worked out well. I put on 5 coats of Great Finishes poly and it’s held up well. The advantage of this was that paint goes on smooth and recoat times are short.

Painting my cabinets (for the 3rd time in 25 years) in on the list for fall. I did a thorough job of painting them last time but did not put a top coat on that was recommended at the time. I think paint has come a long way since then and I have been planning on using BM Advance this time so I am glad to see you recommend it.

True. Prep and patience are key. You’re doing great at both and the result confirms it. Great job.

You used the best product for a DIY kitchen. The 16 hr recoat time shouldn’t be a deterrent to using Advance. I’ve used it for many years and have found it to be a very durable finish. Nice colour, by the way!

Scoring the tape is a great idea. Never thought of that

Beautiful, what a change a color makes.

The first time I watched this video I thought days 50,000, wow. It can’t really take that long. I bought three unfinished premade cabinets to make an island for my kitchen. The first weekend went really well and I got all the priming done. Then the top coats have taken forever. Mainly because every weekend since I started a month ago (yes, it’s been that long) we’ve had rain and I don’t want to mess up the actual paint. I am also sanding any areas that are not perfect. It really does take a lot more time than you think. Today we finally have a sunny day and I’m hoping to get this project completed.

You can sand lightly to remove any imperfections. I only do it if there is visible issues.

What did you put your doors on to paint them? What is the item or object that you used to balance your doors on while painting them? I can't tell what it is?

Depends on how they were finished the first time. You can try sanding any loose paint off, filling with wood filler, sanding smooth, prime and repaint.

Stripper would likely be your best bet. Sanding works too but if it’s especially gummy you’ll go through a lot of sanding discs.

@@GraceInMySpace we're both right then , however the word "Alkyd" means oil , urethane is suspended in water based chemicals , so in the case of Advance it is WATERBORNE ALKYD which is very different from "Alkyd" ...... So the term Waterborne is more accurate than just saying Alkyd .... However , you are right , it is called a Waterborne Alkyd , so technically you are right .....
