Hey! I don’t feel like hauling my doors out to the garage, I do live in Canada and it’s still very cold. So, is there a problem with dust in the kitchen while sanding and how do you deal with it? thx

Did you get a good deal on that colour paint ? because ask the builder painted with it as well.
I liked both ask …
I liked both ask the builders painting kitchen cabinet video and this one, both I found very helpful and well done. This one I found a bit more informative, though ask the builders I found more enjoyable to watch, it had much better music, also I liked the part where he said he’s a power freak or something, and a female said in the background wryly yeah you are,.. was that you?
You did such a good …
You did such a good job on this video. I made notes and now I am ready to follow these steps. Thank you !!

you get a nicer finish if you use a sponge roller for the flats then feather out the stipple with an ox hair brush….looks like glass..

Better tips: Use a …
Better tips: Use a bonding primer like Stix primer, use a whizz roller with smooth nap for primer and top coats. If you don’t paint, using oil is very tough. Benj. Moore Aura is easier to work with and very durable,water based with low VOC’s

i’d have to paint the inside aswell, it would drive me crazy. really helpful video.
Yes, it will. You …
Yes, it will. You could also paint a border around the cabinets to make it look like they have depth. If you want the cabinets to actually have more character, you could attach some moulding to them before painting.

Thank you so much …
Thank you so much for your video. I have a question. My cabinets are not indented. They are just plain flat. Is there anything I can do with them to give them a nice design, or to give them some more style after I paint them? Will a painted design like you made in this video still look nice? Thanks!
Don’t remove the …
Don’t remove the laminate. It will end in a nightmare. Instead glue the laminate back on so that it is very tight and clean. You don’t want any gaps or peeling. Then use the liquid deglosser and follow the steps in the video. As for the paint, make sure you use an oil based primer and oil based paint because laminate is plastic and is very slippery. As a result, you need the stickier paint to make sure it stays on. I wish you the best of luck!
I’m so sorry to …
I’m so sorry to hear that! You must first remove the paint using a paint stripper. Once the paint is completely removed, clean the cabinets. Then prime and paint. I wish you the best of luck!
Unfortunately, no. …
Unfortunately, no. You need to remove all of the paint before applying the stain.
I have cabinets …
I have cabinets with a laminate finish. The laminate finish peels off. Should I peel and sand all the finish off before painting or use the solution in the video? Thanks in advanced
I’m thinking of …
I’m thinking of antique white, do you have a picture of how they came out?
Ok, my husband …
Ok, my husband painted our kitchen cabinets and it was a disaster. The paint store guy didn’t tell him he had to use a primer….hey, we didn’t know…firsttimers. Anyway, so now they are painted and peeling. I want to repaint. What do I do when the cabinet already has paint on it? HELP! ( I don’t trust paint store guys anymore =\ )
Another question …
Another question here, after first thanking you for the detailed explanation and steps, really helpful. anyways, I have a old oak cabinets that I’d like to re-stain with a different color stain, not interested in paint as of yet, would the same process work same way as well for removing the old stain and applying a new one, just with the de-glosser or do I need to sand and add more steps. Thanks in advance and cheers
She was using this …
She was using this as an example of how you could bring color or update cabinets. I went from oak, to antique white with new nickle brushed hardware and will finish with a mocha glaze. Some people want to update their kitchens without paying $1000 + to have them refaced, or $5000+ to have them installed.
I’ve recently seen …
I’ve recently seen on HGTV that this could be done, would require sanding and a primer.
I love this segment …
I love this segment; however, shouldn’t we be sanding in between coast with really fine sandpaper to ensure a smooth finish? One other question, do you paint the opposite side of the door as well?
If you like the …
If you like the spray paint streak look, then I would suggest testing it out. Go to a used furniture store and purchase a cheap dresser or cabinet. Then bring it home, clean it, use liquid deglosser on it and then clean it again. Once you’re finished, test out the spray paint. Before a professional faux painter starts a job, they always test out their technique. I hope that helps!
Hey there I like it …
Hey there I like it a lot how you totally made it look like new my favorite was the second one. I have a question is it ok to use spray paint for the color I want? I will use the liquid degloser and the primer but I just dont know if I will like to see the streakes I like the spray paint look what do you recomend?
