How to Paint Kitchen Cabinets with a Sprayer and get a Professional Finish | DIY Project 

Thank you so much for the tips, really appreciate it!

Thank you! This is the exact info I needed! I knew the x5 was too powerful but it’s the only sprayer I had. I thought about buying one of the smaller handheld sprayers but I didn’t realize you could buy different tips for the x5. This helps so much, thank you for the info!

duuuuude so happy i found this comment i have a very important island to do and have an x7 and needed this exact info!

your output in percentage friend?

I used edge banding. Check out the episode before this going over how I built the cabinets for more info 😁

Great tip, thanks!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I really appreciate tips from the experts to help me improve my skills and gain knowledge. Thanks for watching!

Barry, finished poplar ones work too? About 20$ cheaper a sheet here, same lamination

It sure did!! Made the process much easier

The method I showed in the video won’t make it look grainless but it will be buttery smooth. I personally like the hint of grain showing through. It’s really only visible when you look at the cabinets up close and it adds cool little texture. If you want it to look grainless, I would build it out of MDF. Filling in the grain is crazy haha 😅

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! For question #1: you may need to thin your paint. You should consult the manual to be sure. The Magnum x5 that was using is strong enough to not have to thin your paint, but for a gravity fed sprayer, it might need to be thinned. #2: yes, you should sand between coats if your surface is rough. I did a lot sanding prior to painting and water popped everything so the paint did not raise the grain much, but I still sanded lightly after each coat. #3: the paint and primer both dried surprisingly fast for me. Both took about an hour or two. #4: You should wait the recommended time from the manufacturer (it usually says on the side of the paint can). But once its dry to the touch, you can put on another coat. Hope that helps a thanks for watching!

Happy you found us and I'm glad you found the video helpful! Good luck with your project!

I agree. I should have invested in a lower volume tip but I didn’t realize that until after the project. The cabinets still came out fantastic though!

It’s an enamel based paint so it very durable

Thanks! Check out my other videos in this series. I have an entire video on the construction of the cabinets

Thank you! I love the graco. I tend to use it for larger spray projects like painting whole interiors. I have since picked up a handheld graco that works much better for smaller projects like this

Every time 😅 no matter how many times I use it lol

@@GoldenKeyDesign right? lol

2 gallons of primer and 3/4 gallons of paint. Not sure how much to prime the line but paint loss is minimal

@@GoldenKeyDesign thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you 👍

Thanks for watching!

Thank you, really appreciate it 👊

Thank you! I’m actually half Croatian! Have always wanted to visit 😁

@@GoldenKeyDesign woow I'm glad, visit the most beautiful country in Europe as soon as possible, bokk😄

Welcome aboard! I really appreciate the kind words. Excited to show you our upcoming projects!

If you buy high quality plywood and intend to do flat fronts, it works just fine 😁

Not sure exactly what you mean. The tape prevents the markings inside the hinge holes from being painted over when spraying. Without the tape, the markings won’t be visible

@@GoldenKeyDesign I understand the part about covering the [door #] in the hinge slot to prevent spraying over it. I meant 'why did you put the labels on the door faces first (instead of just putting them straight into the hinge slots)'? At 1:14 you transferred the labels from the doors to the hinge slots. It just seems like a redundant step...why not just mark the door # inside the hinge slot and cover it with tape as you take the doors apart one by one. That's how I do it.

Thanks Carter! He is correct - at 6:27 I mention that I used the Emerald line of paint form Sherwin Williams

Thank you, really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you!!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I used the one it comes with which is the 515 I believe. In hindsight, I would have bought a different tip as this one is a bit overkill and too high of volume

It’s a DIY channel and I’m self taught 😂

Someone had to say it 👏
