I've been painting for 6 years now I've learned more watching your videos then I have in the last 2 years. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos
Glad to help
Less talking more doing please
I've spent 20 years in industrial chemical manufacturing (paint additives being part of our product line) and your realistic approach to safety is a breath of fresh air (pun intended). It's my opinion that anyone getting painting tips from your videos is gaining real, useable information in both safety and painting techniques. Keep up the great work.
I was a co-owner cabinet maker at green & green cabinet in Richmond Virginia with my father and older brother the business was around from 1985-2006. been making cabinets since 2003 I miss it I love painting cabinets my favorite cabinet is oakwood with maple stain and fruitwood stain my father did cabinets at age 16 he died in 2012 age 70
Awesome to hear Stephen!
I Am a new guy in the business. I know nothing! This was priceless guys thank you.
comment 1 year ago , you've probably already been sued a dozen times and now working at Subway
@@malcolmbaldwin5735 wow commenting just to be so negative....so your a male version of a karen? Guy is new in the business and then you think he’s lesser of if he had a job at subway. Good job buds 👏🏻

I'm a painter for 25 year and Im learning ,I love this channel you guys have a video for everything
Glad to help
Hi Chris, Just a small tip, make sure that the pilot light is turned off on the stove if it is gas stove. My dad had a friend who sprayed lacquer cabinets and the pilot light was on and the whole kitchen blew!
I work as a painter in New Zealand thank you for all your tips and tricks and I love all your video
Thank you for watching and supporting!
GOT_RICE_BRO the beauty of 21 century and the technology we have been given. Thank you TH-cam and Paint Life.
J love the Bible quotes in the videos. Amen brother. These guys have passion for painting you can see it in their excitement. The professionalism. The crew is just epic. Couldn’t ask for better. You have been blessed my friend.
Really helpful guys. This is a good format to reveal important thing that pop into your minds off-script. Thanks!
P. S. You can PROVE that there is no explosion risk by finding out what the Lower Explosive Limit of your solvent is (the lowest ratio with air that can explode) and then comparing the volume of the room with the amount of solvent in the cup. Worst case in your scenario, with his 25% thinning and 8 oz. product: if you threw the whole 2 oz of laquer thinner into the air in that space, it probably wouldn't reach the limit. Of course, I don't know the room size or the thinner's LEL, but it also doesn't include the fact that the fans are increasing the air volume wildly, that the inbound fan's sparking motor is in clean air, and that the outbound fan can only light thinner on the way out. So don't point it at the kid's sandbox and your golden. (It's just mentioned because it's a gas to do the actual calculation sometime for professional fun {pun intended}).
Great show! I learn a lot from you!
NMranchhand thanks for watching man!
Thanks for your videos!! I like the scriptures you put in your videos. I have to pause video to find the scripture.
This video answered every single question I had about spraying kitchen cabinets. Thank you!
For the past 2 years I have been doing 3 to 4 kitchen cabinet jobs/month.
With inside hinges I never take off the doors anymore. I just mask off the whole kitchen and spray it all in place.
The time saving is incredible and I have never had a complaint about the hinges chipping or peeling.
More profit for me while at the same time I can charge my customers less.
Can complete the job in fewer days also. And I only use airless as well (although I don't use lacquer) since the
application is 4x faster at least. Never get complaints about the finish either.
Awesome, thanks for sharing Warren!
warren geb, what tips do you use with your airless for cabinets?
So you spray the hinges too? Doesn't that keep them from working as well?
That sounds interesting Warren, can you tell me what products your using ?
I still use the latex products because it is less brittle, also people in Seattle see a painter and they are sick from the fumes even before we open the can. I used to use lacquer primer surfacer on all millwork and top coated with Kelly Moore Durapoxy. The Durapoxy had super impact resistance.
yeah, solvent won't fly everywhere. I was cringing thinking about some of the places we work. We shut down ventilation systems before we go in. We were on a job in DC where the painters were using a oil based stain the the sub basement. The ventilation system carried the fumes through all 10 floors of the building. They evacuated. It was ugly.
Sometimes you sand. Sometimes you don’t. Depends on the quality of the cabinets. Depends what kind of wood. If you sand too much with cherry wood, it will bleed through. Do not use TSP. It leaves a residue. Use denatured alcohol. 2 coats of primer. 3 coats of paint,3-4Buff inbetween coats. First use a 240 sanding pad to get rid of the little bumps , then use a 500 grit sand pad to make it slick and smooth. I use general finishes paints. I have never tried anything else, although I’m about to venture out and try new paints.
Yes, thanks for watching!
And what do y charge for all this work.
You guys awesome , I have been doing this kinda work since 1986 . Great info .
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for all the info! Starting my kitchen in next couple weeks and the info you guys put out is priceless! Cheers from your neighbour up north 🇨🇦 🍻
Thanks for all the information in this video! I'm going to spray my cabinets this week with the information you have shared.
Hope it turns out good, thanks for watching!
I live in California, what the best primer to use for cabinets
This was great, I just painted a vanity with your masking technique came out great. I actually put rolls of tape on a tape gun for packing moving boxes very easy and quick
Thank you for sharing this video. I spray lacquer on pianos, but was thinking I would need to spray an oil base or latex on my new cabinet doors. I am now fully confident to spray lacquer on my cabinet doors. By the way, I use a box fan at my piano shop also.
Thanks for watching Mike!
Very informative because I’m going to be remodeling my condo involves lots of painting…thanks!
I like cleaning my cabinets with Simple Green before priming and painting or laquering. Simple green smells good to:)
I love this ty. I can’t wait to do mine. I’ll sand and degrease so I won’t make to much of a mess and I’ll get a good finish
This is a great video by pros for pros, learning about using lacquers. For the everyday homeowner looking to paint 1 set of their own cabinets and trying to learn how to, this is a decent video for ideas. But do not use lacquers, it is a while different league then regular paints.
Everyday homeowner (and many other painters not looking to use lacquers), would be fine using a primer like a couple coats of Zinsser Smart Prime for waterbased, or original BIN (smelly). For paints Sherwin Emerald Urethane, Ben Moore Waterbased Satin Impervo. If you have Kelly Moore or Dunn Edwards in your area they have good cab paints.
Thanks for sharing Shamus!
shamus jubenal what would the process be of painting over laquers
I own my own business and have no idea how to do this stuff. It’s old news in Seattle. Only time I’d ever even been on a job with the solvent stuff is painting a brand new bar.
Swaglodyte Dad but you can get easy sand still is Seattle! That’s stuff is gold in a can.
Great tips. I prefer using a high quality self leveling latex paint. And I can give an extremely smooth finish using a couple brands of roller covers that I have discovered over time. I do pull the doors and drawer fronts for environment controlled spray booth.
What covers do you use?
I just love you guys.
No words in all your videos.you just the best!master piece!👍
Thanks for watching Jose!
You guys ever try accraguard instead of laquer?
The guy at Sherwin Williams told me it's more durable and easier to work with because it's water based.
I've never tried it, just interested if you guys have.
another great video thanks
I am not a fan of painted cabinets, I like the look of stained wood like oak n cherry. Poplar is for painting. With that said you guy's do the best job of painting cabinets that I have seen. Good job of explaining.
Thank you Rick!
Nice video. Similar to automotive paint process. I use TSP to remove greasy residue and give the surface a 'tooth'. That cup gun system is cool. I'm guessing a bit pricy for DIY folks. A reduction gun HVLP sprayer is a nice (cheap) alternative to a full HVLP rig since you can use your existing compressor but you do have to keep the cup mostly upright. I think you can get these for about $90.
"Don't do what we do" lmao great video guys
Thanks for watching!
Best vid that I’ve seen boys. Thx
For a second I thought that dude with the hat was John Cena
Lol, nope
Mini John Cena 😂
Chris, have you ever used Sherwin Williams Kem Aqua Plus WB Lacquer to refinish cabinets? We are trying to decide which product to use and have read good things about it but can't decide between that and a traditional lacquer system. Thanks for your videos, they are very informative.
Curious, what was the price point for those small cabinets that you were doing.
Hey Chris, do you have a video you can post on spraying the interior of cabinets?
Hey Chris! Thank you for this info! You’ve inspired me that I could pull this off. :) I’m gonna tackle my kitchen and give this a try. I talked to the paint store though and they weren’t sure what products I was talking about with tinted lacquer from just what you mentioned in this video. Could you tell me specifically what products (or product numbers even!) you use for the primer surfacer and the tinted lacquer? Thanks! -Sasha
You can't use hvlp for walls and trim the hvlp your using is a turbine which gets hot after 20 mins of use and u need to shut it off till it cools,also you would go through alot of needles (spry tip) latex paints are very course and you would ruin tips quickly, hvlp made for small fine finish work,nice work chris,Henry in ct
Over 30 years painting. Starting to really hate it.
Was that four washer and dryers
In 2020 I see you guys are changing your tune about lacquers.
To dangerous
I wonder what John would think using some of the recently available water based alkyd enamels for doing cabinets. Sherwin and Benjamin Moore sell these special paints. I'm not sure when these became available. Back when I was doing high-gloss stuff I used Imron and automotive paint. In recent years, I've been using water based poly for covering solid wood (from General Finishes . varathane product is good too). Those are amazing and you can achieve beautiful high-gloss or satin finishes by brushing or using paint pads -- you would need to paint flat - one side at a time though. as usual it all boils down to prep.
I am a conventional /pressure pot kind a guy that way no need to worry about that cup hanging off your gun, Airless for the larger jobs
Yeah
Excellent commentary on the explosion hazard. As long as the fans are not ACME brand you should be OK.
More sensibly, they’re induction motors which don’t spark. Brushed universal motor power tools and brushed cordless tools might well be avoided though.
Where do you get the primer surfacer. The Sherwin Williams paint store didn't know what I was talking about
At a car paint store- PPG carries it.
Love the videos and really enjoy the live show every Monday. Can you put a link in to the painting products that you are using.... Thanks
Good idea!
What do you think about priming previously painted cabinets with shellac?
2 days. I would like to see your rack system. Is it on the job site?
Appreciate the verses
Thanks for watching Hunter!
Always great tips!
Thanks for watching!
I like the HLVP but I also use a 390 and a 208 tip good video!
I like the 440 with a 310 tip
primer to cover red exterior paint and what paint brands are best and how to tell if the paint Iam trying to cover is latex or oil-based. thank you
I have an hvlp sprayer (3 stage) and it's just ok. I don't like to thin paint to get it to spray properly. Most of my jobs I use normal latex house paint. Sometimes I feel maybe it's not the ideal tool for me
I'm redoing my son's cabinets. I spent hours sanding, priming, resanding, and taping off. Finally it was time to shoot the boxes. What a disappointment! There are so many runs and sags, so now I have a lot more sanding to do. I'm so discouraged. It's my first time spraying. Any tips for avoiding this in the future?
A few related questions based on the beadboard panels on the doors (and what's in my kitchen now)
1) Do you apply any caulk or anything to the bottom edge of the panel where the beading meets the frame? I've had issues with the ones in my kitchen where some gunk has collected. Of course cleaner roommates would have helped here, too...
2) The ones I have had MDF panels & also have water damage from either cleaning attempts and/or stains getting in. I don't think the paint used is very durable for wiping, anyway. How repairable are these where some swelling has occurred?
3) If I'm able to repair/repaint these doors, will the laquer primer you use bond to the existing paint & the later coats smooth out the finish, or will a lot of sanding be required?
Thanks so much & keep up the great content! Gonna go check out more of these vids for masking & other cabinet techniques.
1) Yes, that could be done if you choose too
Awesome info!!
Your ventilation technique if operating before any spraying starts, would eliminate the fire hazard, as it continuously purges out any combustible vapours, and avoid any accumulation of the combustible element in the fire triangle
Open a door.
I didn’t know that John cena it’s a painter😂😂😂😂😂
Lol, I didn't either
Haha! sure looks like he does now ! lololol
Thanks gents.
You are welcome!
Any recommended time to wait to spray topcoat after primer. Using pigmented lacquer
How do you feel about 2 coats of sherwin williams extreme bond primer (latex) followed up with 2 coats of sherwin williams emerald urethane trim enamel? Existing cabinets look original (house built in 1940), I'm having a hard time telling if they are finished with lacquer or polyurethane. Any help would be much appreciated! Just subscribed to your page, you guys are an amazing resource!
Hi, I am in the process of remodeling my 1973 kitchen. Cleaning and sanding is fine but I want to use satin latex. Would a HVLP work for me?
Not a good idea
Hey guys about start respraying my cabinets this weekend with a HVLP air compressor setup and pigmented lacquer what are the mixture ratios of primer/paint?
We do not mix primer and paint
what do you do for visible dings in the cabinets?
Nice job!
Do you have a video on thinning percentages for hvlp. Basically what is your mix ratio? I am used to airless and have hvlp but don't know which hvlp tip sizes are best or ratio of paint to laquer.
William Patrick every product is different
Can cabinet lacquer be applied with a Titan 440 airless?
Yes
It’s fuzzy what products exactly your using? Rust oleum primer surfacer? SW pre cat?
Can you guys teleport to AZ to spray our cabinets instead?!
Great info!! Why no finish product at the end of the video?
Just bought a graco x7 . I have a side job i do refinishing cabinets. Using Emerald from Sherwan Williams . what tip and pressure do you recommend?
I know what you about using an airless sprayer but what about using the newest Graco handheld battery sprayer? Too bad Titan doesn’t have a handheld corded or battery spray gun!!!
The Dude great sprayer but hvlp give a finer finish
The Dude
Even the Sherwin-Williams and PPG staff have given the graco battery gun poor reviews.. you can spray lacquer with a small pump like a nova and a fine finish tip. Before the green tips came out paint contractors were shooting lacquer products with the black tips with no problem.
Love me some napco high build.
Where do you get the precat hi build lacquer that has color. I get my clear spray lacquer from sherwin williams.
The Handyman SW cabinet division
Sherwin Williams has white lacquer under coat that works amazing
Did you change the tip on the gun? Of so what tip you recommend. And did you thin the primer surfacer too? And last. Do you always thin the pre-cat lacquer?
You guys don't like using the Titan sprayer with the hopper. My guys find easy to spray lacquer with that because they don't have to stop to fill the cup as my guy is spraying the helper checks the hopper and adds lacquer as needed. Also have you guys ever use valspar lacquer?
qoii09 have not tried Valspar
Question: Is that a 3M PPS system ? What is the adaptor I would need? I have the Titan 0524041 or 524041 Capspray Maxum II HVLP Spray Gun - So what I am trying to figure out after watching this video is , I use my gun just convert it over to the 3m PPS system? I just order this system off Amazon or get it at Sherwin Williams? THanks
Hi, I've seen a method that starts by coating a layer of paper maybe(I don't know exactly the name and details) and then going to lacquer. Is it a better way to have a better smooth and polished ending?
And do you know what is the name of that material in industrial cabinet painting?
Hi Chris. What is the brand name of the pre cut lacquer you use and where do you buy it? Also the same of the primer. What is the brand name and where do you buy it.
How do you fill the grain when you are painting oak stained cabinets?
Do you mask the ceiling or just the walls and appliances around?
I'm looking to lacquer my cabinets but found they have a polyurethane top coat on them. What do you guys suggest I do to prep them? What products would you use to prime/paint?
I too have this problem, did you ever get an answer as to what to do to prep them?
Hey guys, great information. Do you use a clear coat over the pigmented lacquer? I am being told at Sherman Williams that it is necessary.
What hvlp sprayer are you using?
What are you guys using to prime your cabinets before spraying your pre cat lacquer?
that hvlp gun is great for cabinets but not great for painting the entire exterior of a house.
a question what air pressure and material they use for the cabinets if you can tell thanks
4.5 PSI
@@Idahopainter thanks buddy
why not include link to lacquer paint or some description to it would be helpful like is it shervin william and if it is what is the name of it so we can ask for the same? Thanks
We get it from Sherwin Williams Cabinet Shop
How much lacquer thinner is needed for the HVLP gun system
Hi, do you reduce a 25% in latex paint too? And what you use to reduce?
what is name of precat hi build laquer and which primer do you prefer?
just got disconnected... love your videos. just purchased two Tian CS 115 guns. you mentioned primer pre-cat & top coatasked Sherwin Will they had no idea which products you used. please let me know primer model & manufacturer. top coat (which I am going from stained to white: 2 coats each!!!) laquer product numbers pleeze…thanks,Dr. H.H. Hansen
What do you prefer when you top coat with pigmented lacquer ,undercoater or shellac ??
Undercoater
Great video. I like watching them. I have a question. What do you do for tiny cubby holes? I ALWAYS get blowback and more paint on my face than in the 6 x 6 cubby hole. Also in tight areas like between the hood and surrounding cabinets? Thanks
Low pressure blow back is just part of it
Turn the air down an close the needle more
You talk about 2 prime coats followed by 2 clear coats. So where is your actual color? Is your primer colored or is your clear tinted to your desired color? I would have suspected a color coat over your primer & under your 2 top coats (clear)?
I always prime cabinets with white shellac. Your comment on this? Also you are exhausting paint out the door. Doesn't this get on stuff like sidewalks, cars or outdoor furniture?
We have not had an issue with it getting on things, shellac works good!
Wish you guys were in Northern Virginia!
Nice , are you use water base ? What is name the paint for this proyect?
@Paint Life TV - Can you use the Graco Ultra (As seen in another video of yours) to paint this ?
would you use your graco ultra?
