Painting Kitchen cabinets without Spraying

- Most TH-cam videos on painting kitchen cabinets require you to use a sprayer which can be over whelming. I've been painting kitchen cabinets since 1992 and I would like to show you how you can get near factory finish without using a sprayer. I will walk you you through 9 critical steps that will improve the longevity of the paint, and the appearance. Your friends will think they came that way from the factory.
Here are some of the details
It's nice and easy. Let these brushstrokes just do their thing nice and smooth. Look at that. I'm gonna go ahead and do these edges here. Also, one great big piece of advice is get a brand new beautiful brush. This isn't a brand new beautiful brush but it is a great brush. It's a Wooster brush. Just don't skimp on the brush. You can't get a nice job from a rough coarse hair brush, get a brand new brush or $13 the extenders $10 These little the tack cloths are three or $4 I mean these these extra tools that you'll need to do a great job aren't don't cost much money at all. And they make all the difference in the world. Life's too short to get shit brushes. It's like drinking cheap beer never going to drink beer get a good beer for crying out loud. This is the best analogy I could give come up with the work on better analogy. Here you go. Oh nice that looks wait till it dries it's going to self level even better. We talk always about seeing it with 220 This is a 500 grit sandpaper. Not easy to get unfortunately you could use anything you can sand with cardboard if you want. It's very smooth. And when you go over it there's a big difference. It makes a big difference. This is smoother than this. It's this is this is factory finished smooth. If you go over it with with something around 500 grit sandpaper and just just feel like that with it doesn't take a whole lot of sanding and it really makes a big difference and then again we're going to take a tack cloth and and get the Diddy's off in fact that person would have vacuum it and then I'll take it off and then we'll give it another coat of paint that'll be the last time I have to say this this is as smooth as anything will possibly get if you're going to be getting new knobs or handles and you need to fill these holes in use an epoxy wood filler do not use a spackle or regular wood filler. The shrink. This doesn't shrink it, they say they don't shrink as they shrink. So don't don't use it. These kitchen cabinets came out fantastic and yours will too. Just follow the critical steps and apply the best practices. And you will be amazed at how good your kitchen cabinets come out. Okay, so there's at least one big thing I admitted that I need to give you some information on. Before I talk about my big omission, I just want to say if you're interested in franchising was Klappenberger & Son, if you like this industry, it's a great industry, give us a call, we'd love to talk to you. And if not, you could subscribe so you can get more information or if you give us a like we always like those as well. Alright, my big omission was I was talking about spraying this shellac with a spray can and I noticed I was outside. If you're inside Do not spray the shellac with the spray can you're gonna have to get a quart or gallon of it, get a foam roller, a moderately mid price oil brush will be fine or all purpose brush will be fine just to get the cheapest one because hairs tend to pull out of the brush the bristles tend to come out so and it dries very quickly. Don't worry too much about the finish. It's hard to work with this stuff. And because it dries so quickly, just It's okay it seems very easily so just put it on and we'll take care of it later. Just make sure it's all covered. So I'm just going to stop at this point and just leave a list of materials over here of what you'll need. And remember, don't forget the latex conditioner it
makes all the difference in the world and make sure you get a cabinet grade paint. Make sure you use satin instead of semi gloss or any other sheen. If you want the standard cabinet grade finish, you can put other sheens on there but satin is the standard. I hope you enjoy this and it was a pleasure putting it together. Don't buy cheap paint brushes get the best. Don't get a cheap brush, get the best brush don't get a mid grade brush. Get a Wooster it's my favorite. You won't go wrong with a Wooster brush that I can assure you. Thank you so much for watching. It's been a pleasure putting this one together. I love to see some pictures of your kitchen cabinets send them to me. Give us some comments and very exciting to see what your how the outcome of your kitchen cabinets are.

Wow!!!! sooo many Pro tips in one vid! Thank you!!! Love it!!!
Thank you sir
Great video without BS
You taught a semi-old painter a few new tricks. I've probably painted 100 kitchen cabinets in my life but a few of the things you mentioned I will definitely try. Thanks for the good video!
Great video, thank you!!
Great video! I really appreciate that tip about cheap beer!
Thank you for the advice!
My pleasure!
Very informative. Thank you. I shall copy your tips
Excellent step by step video- really appreciated all your experienced tips and suggestions. Happy to see that cabinets are able to be beautifully painted without using sprayer.
I liked that beer analogy.
Thank You 😊
Great video that taught me how to do it right this time! 2nd time painting our kitchen cabinets.
I got the top of counter done and they look amazing.
I used Purdue brushes this time but drank some cheap Coors Light.
Thank you for your knowledge!
As long as you don't thin the paint with Coors Light....
I'm almost ready to start the process according to your video and going with Benjamin Moore paint, per your recommend from another video...happy to send pics and will try to do before and after, bought some high end Maple, all wood, cabinets from my local Restore and saved several pockets of cash vs buying new...gonna be a lot of work, but worth it in the end with all this inflation! Now I need to pick a color and want a nice color vs the average white...thanks for the tips!
thanks!!! for all the detail information I am contemplating painting kitchen cabinets. :-)
Amazing video and I’m impressed how well the cabinet came out using a paint brush!. I’m in the process of building and painting my laundry room cabinets using the process from your previous videos on the different types of paints you use and will show you once it’s done.
nice
Excellent video, thank you so much!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips!! One question. when should you fill the holes of the old hardware?
I will say this , you did a good job considering the bead board and all the troubles that creates with puddling around the edges .... you did paint the hardest door known to man !!!! lol , gutsy move there
Sir you are really good and explain very well. I am beginning in this business and i would like learn everything.
yes is insilx better than advance your last video you really liked advanced
Thanks.
I’m spraying the doors and drawer fronts, but I’m doing the boxes like you are doing it.
Satin for Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane is a little to dull, semi gloss on light colors. Ben Moore is fine for satin. Maybe a mohair roller is practical also.
Sorry but when do you add the condition to the door ? Do i add it to tge tin of paint did i miss this part- any info wouldxbe aporeciated- first time trying to paint my kichen cabinets- what a great video thanks
Are the best brushes syntheti or natural bristle please? Also, would you use diffrent products on cupboards that have had thermafoil plastic removed, leaving MDF to seal and paint? You may not see this but thought I'd take a chance. Here in U.K, HARRIS brushes are supposed to be the best.
One trick I heard about is to slightly round any sharp edges. Especially for oak cabinets that were varnished often dont have the edges knocked down. Paint doesnt stick well to those sharp edges.
Benjamin Moore advance or Benjamin Moore cabinet paint in your preference
I think I saw brush strokes.? Would a roller have worked any better? Otherwise seems spraying might be the ultimate finish.
A microplush roller would be better yet!
It would be helpful to see more of a close up of the finish on those cabinets, and compare that side by side to a sprayed finish to get an idea of how closely this process matches a sprayed finish. My guess is that brush strokes are still noticeable. Not that that is a bad thing.
1:45 what tool is that?
Curious why you don't use a whizz roller ?
I already have a gallon of SW Extreme Bond to use on our cabinets.. Will it hold up well in you experience? My cabinets are laminate with a few peeling spots that will have to be addressed maybe with some sanding... Thanks
Pls Answer, Shellac primer? What do you use on the actual cabinet boxes, i don't want to spray the primer in the house?? Best tips ever ; )
thanks for the detailed video and not drawing it out for 40 minutes. Question...can this latex conditioner be added to Benjamin Moore Advance alkyd?
no. Oil paint has it's own conditioner
Do you have an opinion on Sherwin Williams Gallery paint for cabinets . And do you like the Benjamin moore you used in this video ? I will be using a schellac primer and spraying .
You didn’t mention what to do with the conditioner. I was told you didn’t need a conditioner with The SW Emerald.
Great tips. Thanks much!
Would like to know how much Latex Conditioner to add to the paint. Thanks.
about a cup to a gallon. As you keep using it for brushing, you will likely need to add more.
Any tips and tricks when painting oak? Looking to remove, cover or fill the grain. Thanks! Great video!
Auqua coat grain filler. TH-cam "The Idaho painter" he has tons of videos on the subject of grain filling. Also as far as primer I wouldn't recommend Sherwin-Williams extreme bond primer. I am a professional painter with close to 20 years in the trade doing a huge set of kitchen cabinets this week
Shellac primer as well
I am about to do my kitchen island, which on three sides is just that stock basic board backing. That material is like glorified cardboard. If I am using a latex paint, will this not make it warp?
Do I need a sealer as the last step for my kitchen cabinets?
No!
Type of brush??
This was the best cabinet painting video I’ve seen. Is the Insilx better than Advance?
I have not tested it yet for washability and durability. I will be doing so in a few weeks once the paint has cured. Please subscribe and you will automatically receive the video. Thanks!!
Advance sucks , try Emerald - th-cam.com/video/ejKR5qz99wc/w-d-xo.html
@@Avital4414 no way .... long dry time , less durable , gets tacky gooey while brushing ..... and again , less durable - th-cam.com/video/-TVrtJwLqgA/w-d-xo.html
I used Emerald for a while then had to use Advanced on a job. I'll never go back. Advanced was easy to work with, looked better and cost about $20 a gallon less. Everyone should give it a try.
@@chuckwdaniel after painting with Advance, do you clean brushes with mineral spirits - or do you find that soap and water is adequate?
In regards to the finish coating on the cabinet doors using Advance. Did you paint 1 side of door and wait a day and then turn them over to paint other side? No other way?
Yes I did, and it is important to wait at least 16 hours between coats.
top coat what did you use did not show it or I missed it
Can you tell me or show me how to paint mobile home cabinets?
Please send a picture of your cabinets to dklappen2@gmail.com
I find that Corona brush is better than a Wooster. It may cost more but you get what you pay for. Insul X is a primer you cannot beat for cabinet work and waterborn urethane Insul X Cabinet Coat has a pencil hardness of 2b where Advance is 6b.
Hello great video, if I'm using BM Advance paint do I still need to prime and use the latex extender?
It would be super cool to do that same video but use S.W. Emerald U. Enamel and see how the cabinets come out.👍
You stated without spraying...
You showed us how to spray the primer on outside
So how does one prime the frames without spraying?
Did I miss this?
You can brush or roll the frames. It's easy either way.
I'm curious, can you explain your choice not to use a roller? Personal preference? Does it make a difference on the final result?
A roller leaves a stipple in the paint that creates more surface area. All this extra surface area causes it to dry before it gets a chance to level leaving a peddled or orange peel look. It could work fine if humidity/temp and air movement is in your favor but all of those are hard to control without a being in a quality $$$$ paint booth.
CJP. Excellent technical explanation. Love when people can simply things. Simply put you can get factory finish if you have unlimited time and high humidity regardless of the application as gravity will self level anything as long as it can move. Master cabinet painter can use sprayers to mitigate marks and adjusted thickness and dry time for their environment.
How much latex extender do you put in?
more than what the direction say. I usually double it. Start off following the directions and see how it feels. When yuo have the right amount it should glide on like you are painting an ice cube.
You didn’t mention finishing with a clear coat. Do you recommend using a clear coat over the paint?
Why would he use a clear coat? The point here is a quality, durable satin finish and that’s what he achieved
👍🇺🇸👍
Glad it was helpful.
So you don’t need any type of top coat
I still see brush strokes and sprayers are faster
What if you have polyurethane on wood? Should I strip and sand it all off?
Nothing changes. same process
top coat????????
I am am from Wooster.. it does not sound like rooster. We pronounce it with a soft oo as in book or look but not like a rooster.
Like toaster?
@@klappenbergersonpaintingha2933 I think it's more like woofer.
Why prime previously painted cabinets doors ? And why sand cetween coats ? I never do either of those steps on my cabinets. I only prime if I paint over natural wood cabinets that have never been painted before. And I only use a brush for corners / indented areas..then I use a mini roller on the flat areas..why do you now use a mini roller ?
I prime for adhesion and I sand to give a smoother finish.
@@klappenbergersonpaintingha2933 Why no mini roller? To me quicker and better result than a brush on the main area.
Lots of good tips but according to what I see at 9:45 this is not a 'factory' finish. I can still see brush strokes. I don't believe any brush work can compare to a good spray. I think anyone wanted to do this should go and buy small paint can and do a test. It is true that not anyone wants to buy or rent paint sprayer or want to learn how to use it. Paint one half of a test board with this method brush and other half with home depot spray can and compare which one is closer to factory finish.
Good video and covered all for brush painting. But why? The time involved is so much more than spraying and there is no cost difference for paint if you just rent a spray gun...DIY. Or just order new doors. But everyone likes To DIY.
What no masking up,who are you billy the bodger.
The first one turned yellow when you painted it with uruthane... Yuk...I just don't like yellow for that ....
9 easy steps you think 9 steps is easy?
I believe in you Pam! You can handle 9 easy steps.
I got this on recommend page wtf
why censor bullshit when talking about fillers but not censor shit when talking about brush quality?
We are not censoring anything.
