Friendly tip: Try using a smaller tip for the face frames. That gun was laying down a huge pattern, save that 515 tip for the side of the house. Use a 300 series tip, something like a 311 or 315, it will give you a 6 inch pattern, it will cut down on overspray and save paint. If you go with the economy grade latex paint that you showed, it lays out better if you thin it down a bit. Add a flow additive, especially if it's in a warm climate. Better yet, ditch that paint, it is not for cabinets. DIYers attempting this should go with an acrylic-alkyd paint from SW or BM, its the closest to a professional finish, it will cure rock hard and are water based for easy cleanup. That latex will get eaten up quickly if there are kids man handling those cabinets. "kids man handling"? well you know what I mean.
I just realized that this is a Lowes video, so use their Valspar Cabinet and Furniture paint.
I like the comments of those who saw how much work is involved, that is why it costs a bit to get them done professionally! But if you are a handy DIYer and have patience and are not afraid of work, go for it, buy a sprayer and spend the weekend fighting with the wife, shoot paint everywhere, make memories!
@dmech5153 any recommendations for a primer ?
@@Snoozfest Lowes carries a Sherwin Williams Cabinet and Door Primer item No. 5744409, it's $50.00 gallon. It has a 30 min dry time, then you can sand if needed.
I paint cabinets. After I clean the cabinets...all I do is roll and brush on a DEGLOSSSER then paint. No need to sand or prime. Deglosser is the bonding agent. Saves tons of time.
Is TSP, mentioned by someone above, considered a deglosser
This helped me decide I didnt want to paint my cabinets myself. Haha! Thank you! Seriously! (not a jab) Great video!
same. haha. I loved this video.
same. haha. I loved this video, so much work!
@@ici_coop , zopp
oh its a lot of work for sure...lol
My thoughts exactly! It all still looks the same, just a different color. I do get it if you are flipping a house and trying to save money. "A" for effort though.
Love the "hanger" hack! Going to use that! (prepping my kitchen right now) Thanks!!
RIGHT!!!! I "FLIP" RVs... on my 25th one right now... My LAST one... where were these great ideas for the last 40 years.
"Hangers" ... Great Idea.
Driving to IKEA to buy some cabinets instead (after watching this video).
“Ain’t no body got time fo’ that” 😂😂😂
#ImLazy
Unless you got a shop then Just do white melamine or other sheets that comes pre-painted, then use a table saw to cut all and put edge tape using iron and pre glued edge tape. Lastly build then use counter sink screews, wood glue, nail guns and no dado needed. Finishing up just install the cabinets use a jig for all your hinges and shelfs. Lastly a DAP or other silicon inside the cabinets.
Cool this video confirmed its better to buy a new kitchen. Thanks
I am a professional painter and work on high end residential homes and have painted tons of cabinets . Your vid was very informative, but you made some mistakes . You need to use "oil base" primer for cabinets . It will bond better and seal away any grease that you may have missed . You also need to sand the primer smooth, then use a vac with a brush attachment , then use a tack cloth to wipe everything . The finish paint should be an industrial enamel paint . It will be more durable . I like the hanger idea . Keep up the good work , but try to loose the corny jokes and robotic script . Tell viewers how long the project will take and how much material you used , along with cost and savings doing it themselves .
What type or brand of enamel do you use that works best in a sprayer?
Sherwin williamss
@@jaimegmc Because they are average consumers, it happens. They don't worry about priming, they simply snag some cans of paint and primer all in one and shoot. Teach your consumer clients why :-) .
@@jaimegmc Yep ... I'm doing a job now and I tell all my clients "typical job this size takes a week, 5 days of it is prep and cleaning" lol. JH you spraying or rolling your doors and furniture?
And when you use a sprayer uses your wrist and elbow like a robot To keep it equal distance the way you were spraying lays it down heavy in the middle and causes runs
The sprayer and clothes hanger ideas are super helpful. Great video!
Spraying makes life that much easier.
After the mountain of prep.. But the results are worth it in my opinion. I rarely brush anything these days. I will backroll walls though now. I use to just spray, but a few runs over the jobs has changed me to doing backrolling on large walls.
Great job, I like to see people who not cheaped out but do things right way
You couldn't finish the job without that great lady helper ,great job guys, great tips too, thank you both
I'm so high watching this.. That dude got on my nerves the first 5 mins but now he's grown on me.
Chris Wade 🤣
🙄
my last nerve
On my nerves, too. E.g., "with Ashlee and I." "With I"????? How about "with me"? Who would say, "Do you want to do a project with I"?
Man the entire video was 6 mins long. So that last minute he really connected with you. LOL
you both are adorable... worked with my wife doing custom painting on cars and bikes for 25 years.... nice work and craftsmanship also.... good luck and GOD BLESS !!!
I Actually enjoy little spurts of comedy so keep it up.
I was excited to re paint my cabinets until I saw this. 🥴🥴🥴🙅🏾♀️
A couple tips from someone who does this on a regular basis. Most importantly don’t use the masks they use, get ones that have carbon filters since those actually filter out the chemicals in the paint fumes not just the dust. Put the marking number on the actual cabinet where the mounting hardware is with a pen/ sharpie and cover it with tape to it doesn’t get painted. If you have soft close hinges mark which goes on top and bottom so you don’t have to adjust later on. Use oil primer instead so you don’t have to sand before painting the primer since it grabs on better. If you paint the inside too it will look much better. If you have space you can cut down 2x1 boards to four inch pieces and put two screws in them to place the doors , paint only the top then holding the sides flip the door so it’s on the screws then paint the other side and edges to put the paint on a flat surface if you don’t know how to use a paint sprayer so the paint doesn’t run.
Does the first top coat have to be sanded before adding a second coat (when using a spray machine)
@@perzperez6316 - That depends on your choice of paints, but most modern paints rely on a perfect prep and prime as the foundation for a perfect coat. The rest is completely reliant on your method and quality of the product's application.
That being said, there are cases where if you wait too long between coats (usually over a day) you'll need to wait ADDITIONAL time to let the product cure and sand it before another coat. Moral of the story... Don't do that.
Researching your paint is something that starts with " Cool... Let's pick a color!" and eventually turns into "Aughhhh!... I give up!" Hahaha.
I like short cuts, thanks!
@Rick Boyd yes it looks much better when they’re open and it actually save you tons of prep time
This "couple" deserve their own channel. I would subscribe instantly. Very informative and fun to watch.
They just copied Home RenoVision's video and tips.
☠☠☠
Great tips and instruction on how to do a paint project like this the right way, thanks for the video Cody and Ashlee.
Hello guys.
This was a great video I'm a professional painter the prep work is super important and the only thing you miss was to pass a tack cloth to really get rid of the dust specially if you are going to spray.
Oil base primer is the best for kitchen cabinets. and enamel paint is the best.
I know there are a bunch of great products now, but if you want the best result oil base paint for kitchen cabinets is the best product.
Overall good work!! 🙂
Well I was painting the wrong way until this very moment. Yall had me lock in on the taped room, omg. Had no idea this is what goes in to the "ohhh aaah" of an outstanding job. DEMS DA DAMN RULES... Love the video content. Thanks Kindly.
The hanger idea is absolutely gold ty for that. Also I liked that this showed HOW MUCH to sand. Nice video.
Loved it! Thanks for the joy level and details. Ignore these haters.
The beauty and the beast. Good job guys
You will really need to dial back the pressure on that airless spray or it will make work sway, a lot (making for uneven paint coverage). Also, don't curve your spray pattern by turning your wrist like demonstrated here... That will also make the pain go on unevenly. Keep the spray head perpendicular to your work at all times. Make sure the holes from the Hanger Hack are on a surface not easily seen... Touch up the holes at the end.
Yo I’m a boss painter and you did it right keep it up
The taping is not trivial and deserves some screen time. How did you tape the insides of the cabinets so neatly?
Alex Mercado I paint cabinets for a living and do the exact thing masking but instead of using paper I use plastic. How I do it is tape the inside perimeter of the opening with 1 1/2” tape leaving half the tape over hang half way to put the plastic on. Hope that helps!
Easy, they had an army of helpers to do it for them
That is the job. Masking especially the inside of the cabinets took most of the time. They skipped it. I see paper or cardboard secured to the inside. How?
they didn't .. the crew that was not seen on vid did..
We use 3M advanced plastic sheeting attached to a hand masker. These items are an investment, but totally worth it on a large project like this (even if you only use it once).
Another tip is before attaching your plastic, to tape a ring around the outside of each frame to create that perfect line and allow flex of the taped plastic pieces.
Cody you crack me up...Fun to watch..
The hardest part of this project and the most important is Prep and clean. Cleaning with TSP is very important then sand lightly with a 220 grit but I found cleaning with TSP 3 times made the primer and paint take better and last longer. If you can't spray your paint use a Zinsser BIN PRIMER SHELLAC BASE. Yes I know it is hard to work with and dries super fast but if you move fast don't worry about the looks some areas might look lighter then others but I found when it dried it was smooth as a babies behind. I gave it 2 coats using a Mohair roller NOT A FOAM ROLLER. FOAM ROLLERS LEAVE LITTLE RAISED MARKS THAT NEED SANDING. The mohair rollers 4" & 6" are great. The Sherman Williams store recommenced these and they really do make the difference. They cost more but when you put that final coat on without any sanding it looks as if you sprayed them. I was first doubting all this but once I started and finish I brought 1 of the doors into the Sherman Williams store and they could not tell if it was sprayed or rolled. Try it. I now use the mohair rollers on my flat finished doors as they do not leave that bumpy look like a foam roller does.
Cool. Now I need my own house :)
Thanks for sharing and love both of you
The hanger hack is old school, and it leaves you with two holes in every cabinet that you have to fill and touch up after. There is a method that works better and no holes to fill in the end. Also I love how amateurs always use a water based latex acrylic thinking that it will last as long as the original Laquer finish... huge mistake, HUGE!!! This is a good way to change the cabinet color but you will have alot of maintenance that comes with this method of painting. Good luck and happy painting.
vegasheat71 hello, curious to know what the better method you’re describing consists of because I’m not too fond of the holes method either
@@latoyaracquel1680 spray them laying down and only do the back side the first day. prob would need to buy or make a drying rack
The easy fix for the holes? Drill the holes at the bottom for bottom cabinets, and at the top for top cabinets. No one will see the holes - unless you are 9 feet tall or a mouse.
wow that finish is lightyears ahead of a brushed job
THAT hanger hack. wow.
Just a great shame LOWES are not in the UK their brand & products would work very well over here!
it is a good script and not boring..... You are good in this area taping an old way :)
Your process looks good but you left out a few detail like what sprayer tip and how did you eliminate the holes you created for the hanger trick?
yeah the holes are important... did they use a filler to cover them? paint touchups? inquiring minds want to know.
Love the video! From the prep tips to Cody's dancing (he's got some moves) and even "jokes" 😂. Really awesome overall!
This was awesome! You guys are the greatest. Can’t wait to learn more.
I just used a spray to paint my rental property cabinets and it was very easy. We hand painted the frame tho
Very very good video
great job guys..... turned out great
What do you do about the holes you drilled in doors to hang them by the hooks?
Great question. For upper cabinets drill into the tops of the cabinet doors and they will never be seen. For the lower cabinets drill into the bottoms of the drawers and doors (so basically they’re upside down. Again the holes won’t be seen but you could always dap a little wood filler into the hole. Lightly sand and very carefully dab a little paint on them perhaps using a Qtip. You don’t want to accidentally touch your flawless sprayed finish with a brush or anything.
The bacon part was super funny
Nice. Now to paint the wall
Very helpful video!
5:52 I would highly recommend clamping a piece of wood to the back side of the cabinet to keep the back side of the cabinet from splitting when the drill bit pokes through. This is especially important for 20 year old cabinets that are going to be dry and extra brittle.
great tip!
**GREAT TIP HERE PEOPLE.. do not just ram the drill bit through as she did in this vid!
@@popparock6506 The older the cabinet, the dryer the wood, and the more likely they will splinter out the back. Most cabinets are made from layers of wood, and its that final outside layer that wants to splinter.
@@BradThePitts The styles and rails of doors are always solid wood and if they don't splinter too badly, the truss head on the cabinet hardware screw will cover it.
It's a solid tip. Tape does ok but something firm is great insurance to prevent splintering, especially when it ends up with a long piece of the grain lifting up on you. Just do it.
I like them. Great energy
Thanks 👍😊
Very good video. I liked the tips.
Great video
Thats the exact color I'm going to use on my cabinets.
My husband and I need to do this, how about many days are you thinking this will take? We have 5 kids and...well we have 5 kids.
I painted my cabinets a year ago and I only had one child at the time, and I did it at a time where my dad came for a visit and we spent almost a whole week painting our cabinets. But we did not sand before we painted, (next time around I will for sure be sanding) and we used a roller and not a sprayer. Maybe if it seems too overwhelming. Try doing just the top or bottom cabinets and then wait a while and do the other half. I am moving soon and will probably paint the cabinets in our new house. I will be for sure sanding and will probably buy a paint sprayer this time around. It does take a while.
It all depends on how big of a kitchen you have and if you’re staining and applying varnish or just painting it. I would say about 3 days if you’re just painting.
I actually want and have the time to do this. So thanks! I really needed some guidance. =-)
Oh this looks like its gonna be easy.
*Watches **4:02*
Uh, yeah I'm not turning my house into a CSI Miami crime scene set.
Dexter
good one
So how do you hide the holes from the "hangers for painting "
sitting here wondering that myself
Nice job!!!!
What about cabinets that are already painted do i need to get all paint off or just treat it the same as this video
Hey 👋 good job
Really Great video guys! you made it look easy and logical. Please comment on how many layers or primer & paint did you end up with?
For anybody thinking about doing this. Never use the mask they use in this video while painting it only removes dust particles and not gases and other harmful chemicals in paint.
So true 2 yrs ago used that mask to spray paint bathroom, cost me 2 weeks in ICU
Its a waterbased paint there using, so no chemicals that will do any harm
What tip you use and what is your psi set to is also good tips to give. I use Fine Finish tips when spraying cabinets.
Conversion varnish is the best for kitchen cabinets
2K poly is even better
I was quoted $2,500 and $3,100 by two professional painting companies to have my kitchen cabinets painted. If you're enough of a DIY type you may as well just replace the cabinets by buying RTA (ready to assemble cabinets) instead of this arduous process. They painted 20 year old cabinet and they still look like crap: cheap and out of style. I priced out all new white, shaker-style cabinets RTA for $2,600 (from rta cabinet supply). The choice in my case is obvious - just replace them since its the same cost and update the style in the process.
When there are vent holes in the overhanging eaves, is it important to go around that area so water doesn't go inside?
Holy Smokes! that was a lot of masking and prep work. I would have just taken the cabinets down and painted them in a more appropriate setting.
Most houses have cabinets built in and are generally only removed if they are being ripped out and completely replaced.
If you're taking them down, might as well replace them!
Pretty dead pretty bad idea I think especially if you could just spray over everything and just repaint all the walls brush and roll
How to plug the holes made for the hanger ?
no need to plug.. just put the hanger screws in the bottom of the bottom cabinets and the top of upper cabinets, then no one can ever see them they are crawling on the floor looking up at the bottom cabinets or they are up on a ladder looking down on top ones (or if they take the doors off).
Here is a pro tip for you my friend. The tip you’r using is meant for ceiling and walls you can use fine finish tip with a smaller fan
I would never use an airless if I had an HVLP (and I have both). Less overspray, more control.
@@kennethwills2913 HVLP only good for liqueur. Otherwise advance/proclassic/cabinet coat/emerald and pretty much anything else has to be thinned. It sucks !
I love love love him lmao!! What a cute couple
I'd like to see the holes that were made to hang the doors on the hooks. Did they need sanding and filling?
It looked like they may have done them where the hinges would go later? Meaning the holes are covered anyway? I could be wrong though.
You put the holes in the tops of the top doors and bottom of the bottom doors and there is no need to fill them because they can't be seen.
What about the inside of the cupboards? Anything to know or is it just the same process?
I have dark, cherry wood colored cabinets. How do you scuff and prime the interior of the cabinets?
Do you do the same process with chipboard or melanine cabinet. What paint can you use for chipboard cabinets
Good grief! Looks like more work than its worth.
That's why there are professionals ;)
It's a good thing there are pros that do this for a living because of lazy people like you.
@@NirvanaWoodWorksbyJanie seriously?! Quite quick to make personal judgments there. Not lazy......disabled.
@@NirvanaWoodWorksbyJanie RUDE
manymusings, You're RUDE for complaining about something you're never going to do. Why even 'complain' if you're not going to be doing any "work than it's worth". I don't get it.
I wonder what they did with the numbered tape that they put on the doors
How did the new hardware date the kitchen even more?!🤔
Do you ever clear coat ?
Hey guys
We have a plastic wrap thst was shrink wrapped on our kitchen doors and drawers. Can that be removed and primed painted and sealed?
Please do a vinyl kitchen. My kitchen is horrible brown doors with steel along the bottom for openers. Thanknyou
훌륭한기술이네요
Oh is that all you got to do....how much were new cabinets?
These guys hard to watch
Really got to hold your head but I think they did a good job
They weren’t. Get over yourself 🤦🏿♀️
@@TriniLush7,
at 1:40 that got to be the lamest joke on YT history....
Doesn’t the hanger hack leave holes is the finish product?
Yes. When using this technique you need to add hooks on the top of the top cabinets or bottom for the bottom cabinets (That way they're hidden). If you want you can wait until the paint dries and touch the holes up with putty and paint.
@@Centralia62801 or you can just NOT use this stupid "hack" and just paint them like a normal person
@@TheGreatDadoo You obviously haven't painted anything in your life.
wellp there goes the idea that i was gunna paint my cabinets...
"3:47" -- HVLP Sprayer is said to be the best for spray painting furniture.
I know what you mean man - but the more expensive sprayer they're using provides a finer and better finish for everything. I've tried cheap sprayers like the little one shown and they tend to spatter and create texture... 😐
Hey, if you have found it great for your purposes, that is great, @@psedach! 👍🏼 And thanks for the additional information. I know my areas of expertise, & this is not one of them. 🙂
All the best to you. Be blessed. 🙏🏼
You put 2 holes in each door but didn't mention how and when you fixed them.
I was curious about that too. I'm wondering if they didn't fix them and just left the holes on top (for the uppers) and on the bottom (for the lowers) so the holes weren't easily visible.
Cody is one lucky man.....
My Mother Painted our kitchen Cabinets Deep Purple in the 1966 it was the worst Mom regrets picking it too
But the other worst was
Robin Egg Blue for the house I got it the paint changed to a deep green much better for a Home.
original wood cabinet looks much brighter and neat... why choose dark greenish grey ??
Excellent job and tips.
interesting. a 6 and a half minute video to show you what would take DAYS to do, lol. where do we get the hazmat suits????
Great video. Please can you recommend a panit sprayer? We are thinking Graco but was wondering which model would be bestto spray kitchen cabinet / bedroom wardrobes / malm ikea drawers? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Bruce
And in a few years when gray kitchen cabinets are out of style, you can go right back and do that all over again. White cabinets people.
@Subzerro Billy Miller Miller White Batten
Not a great improvement
White LOL! So cheap looking and you touch it once or splatter tomato sauce and it's ruined. No thank you.
@@pamelas9 White shaker is never out of style. And cabinets don't get ruined from splatter, you wipe it off. You are making 0 sense
@@pamelas9 you are mistaken, tomato sauce wipes off of urethane paint. can be applied with an airless sprayer with a FF LP tip. great long lasting results
Don't ever drill into the door with the door closed; you might drill into the face frame of the cabinet!
what are those 2 holes from in your cabinet doors?
long story short, clean sand paint.
Should have shown how did u do the cover in the cabinets we paint spray cabinets too but would it be nice to see ur way
wow just an amazing self help video!! love how you explained the type of paint, primer, or how to fill cabinets if you have wood grain. Typical lowes video LMFAO
So valspar paint is pretty thick. What did you guys used to thin it out?
So u didnt use alkalide paint that can be scrubed and not weat throw and dosnt stick to itself?
Great step by step good hanger tips and guide for hardware never seen those before I'm gonna go to Lowes or Home Depot see if I can find that. People are ooober critical of you they need to get a life and tend to their knitting or sanding or something you are both cute, There is one thing though the grey makes her beautiful blonde hair look grey in kitchen you may want to try different cabinet color
