So I have been working with a design/build/remodel company solid for the past 4 months subbing for them and periodically over the past few years. I have a good relationship with them. Among typical wall/trim/ceilings, etc., I am asked to do touchups on the prefinished cabinets they install. So...

Hi, Recently bought a Wagner control pro 350m airless paint sprayer 520w and did an exterior job 30 meters wall (concrete blocks) very happy with the results. For this first project I used a 517 tip. My question is: Would like to do some more finer/delicate work using the Wagner control pro...

My previous post was closed and referred to another site because I must have used the wrong word. I mentioned not being a pro, which is true compared to most on this forum, but I am not an incompetent painter and have painted for 10+ years. I am currently working on a project painting a large...

I am a novice/DIY painter, currently painting cabinets at a home I own. I have painted two other sets of cabinets before, but am no where near being a pro - so I appreciate the help! I have scoured through this forum trying to find the best recommended cabinet paint, but many of the threads...

Hi all - I’m a long time reader of paint talk but this is my first post. I’ve been painting for many years but do not know the best product/procedure for this situation: A lady painted over factory finished cabinets with straight latex. The paint could peel off like wallpaper. It wasn’t too...

Hello Everyone, I have a lot of experience with interior and exterior painting, but have always avoided cabinets. I am now moving into a new construction home but I was too late to choose my cabinet color (they gave me dark brown). The cabinets are beech and stained in a dark brown. The wife...

Do any of you have issues with paint bridging to the tape when you're spraying multiple coats on a cabinet set? I'm wondering if you ever have to mask, prime, paint first coat, partially remove masking before first coat dries, then re-mask later for subsequent coats. In this case I've got...

Hi, I am generally a furniture and cabinet maker based in a shop, spraying ML Campbell lacquer products in a booth. (Not very experienced with big paint projects.) However, I'm about to finish a large face frame kitchen. The client wants a lacquer finish, but I am concerned that will pose...

A client of mine has selected SW 6076 Turkish Coffee as their kitchen cabinet color. Their cabinets will be sprayed with an airless. I had planned on painting the cabs in ProClassic Oil satin but this color can't be made in ProC. Anybody have experiences (good or bad) using ASE Satin oil on...

Hello all..... A customer of mine wanted me to paint his lacquered oak cabs. I have already done the prep, and cleaned with deglosser. My problem is I cant get oil primer in my county anymore, and don't want any tannin/stains bleeding through. Advice on SW primers that have worked for you guys...

Hi everyone. Let me start off by saying that this is my first paint talk post. Next week I'm going to be doing a kitchen face lift, painting some lacquered cabinets, and re-tiling in an occupied home. I live in California, so oils and lacquered paints are sadly out. I will be tenting off the...

Hi, i sprayed some cabinets yesterday with behr semi gloss/primer. But the finish appears to be flat. Anybody have any idea why this is? I sprayed three coats of paint but they still appear to be flat like primer. I think it might just be the paint? I did add water to the mixture but then i...
