I'm about to give you some gold tips here buddy!! 1. Cover stain Primer by zinsser. mix 50/50 with acetone. Dries in about 30 mins and is an amazing primer I give one year warranties on my Cabinets and have not had a failure since using this method! , blows kilz out the water and works better than any water-based primer. 2. I use Avanti 5 stage hvlp with spray-fine gun. Behr cabinet and trim paint mix 1 pint flotrol per gallon. even when using the hvlp, thins it nicely and when you have to do touch up use a 6 in 1/4 nap shed-less roller, will lay out nicely with the flotrol in the paint. I usually mask the walls and brush and roll the body. If its an expensive job I will completely mask the insides and kitchen walls floors and counters to spray in there) I lay rosin paper on the floor completely covering the floor. cabinet doors lay on the floor in the order they are taken down. 3. Place cabinet doors face down, spray the primer on the back first then two coats of paint on the front wait 2 hrs @75-85 degrees then flip over repeat process for the front. in two hrs I hang the doors. Fast and efficient and excellent results Great vid!
I have a whole new level of appreciation for anyone who goes through all this work. It definitely scared me away from any delusion that i had that I thought I wanted to spray my cabinets before they were mounted. I guess I'll be rolling my cabinets instead
Thank you for the video. I have never sprayed before but I want to up my finishing game and I am going to give it a trial on some shop cabinets. The Bin 123 water based primer is excellent in terms of primer quality and fumes (as in very little) I use it regularly.
Thanks for this kind of concise, all in one video. I’m always wrestling with this is issue, as well as contemplating repainting my kitchen cabinets, as well as painting new ones.
For the Graco sprayer you can also change out the gun itself for a blue instead of orange guard gun. With those you can use the thicker Graco FFLP which is fine finish low pressure systems that leave a smoother finish
I got a Wagner sprayer and have been learning how to use it. Still haven't quite figured out how to get it dialed in just right, but I'm sure it's just a matter of practice. Thanks for the great tips!
Great video! Agree with everything except the not painting all the way around. I would at an absolute minimum prime the entire box box when working with plywood and mdf specifically. Particle board is a bit more forgiving. But In the case of plywood it protects it from warping and for mdf it protects it from both warping and water damage. I’ve had cabinets in my cabinet making career that have failed from warping and very small amounts of movement cause issues with adjustments etc. The paint in my mind is such a cheep part of the project on a very large project it’s only a gallon max to coat everything sealed.
Did you talk to Seth (Berm Peak) lately about painting? If not, what a coincidence that both of you made spray paint tutorial videos released the same day lol.
My inclination would be to finish all surfaces. I have understood painting/finishing all surfaces leads to more consistent moisture content throughout the wood item, so less differential expansion/contraction, less cracking, more dimensional stability . Maybe not as big of a factor in a home with more consistent temperatures and humidity? And probably less of an issue with plywood carcassess. Thoughts?
This is awesome I have just recently thinking about getting into spraying. Wife got me the DeWalt D55168 - 1.6HP Continuous 225 PSI 15 Gallon compressor for Christmas and was thinking this would work. It states 5.0 CFM @ 100 PSI; so now after watching this I am wondering if this is really ok to use? Thanks,
Do you have any tips for getting in the backs and corners of cabinet boxes? I have trouble with runs in there because you can't stop and start off the workpiece like you can on the outsides.
Not sure why this guy still refers to himself as a “DIYer”. I love the work he does, but the knowledge, skill, money, and resources he has begins to go beyond the “DIY” realm and starts to resemble a professional practice in my opinion. Having said that, still love the designs and work he puts out!
Definitely didn’t mean to call myself a DIYer considering I do this stuff for a living. I meant I was hoping to give tips that would help the average DIYer!
Harbor freight did away with their constant 20% off coupons. Now they just put out coupons on certain items every so often. Bad move on their part, at least in my eyes.
Thinking about spraying my ugly pickled finished kitchen doors and drawer faces but was wondering if the veneered cabinets can be brushed/rolled? (Exposed faces only - interior will be left as is.) I've made and painted cabinets in the past and the rolled finish looks great, but that was over (primed) wood. Doesn't seem like a bad idea and it would he a whole lot easier than masking everything for spraying. Just not sure about the veneered surface. Anyone ever done this or see an issue with rolling?

Great tips, thanks for commenting!

Only now that I make videos do I realize how much work is behind it ... especially for artisan videos where you work. Great continues like this😁😁😁
You checked all the boxes on what it takes to get the results everyone wants! Great job JB

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Wonderful video and great recommendations. Thanks JB!
Great presentation & painting tips Johnny! That kitchen turned out great! 👍👍😉😉👏👏

I know, I realized that right after I published this one! Pretty funny timing!
I was just thinking this!
Very clean. Keep making. God bless.
I personally haven't had problems painting cabinets but still a very good video for anyone. Very nice job explaining this one.
Clear and concise. Thanks a bunch.
Glad you enjoyed!
HVLP stands for high volume low pressure, not for high velocity
Whoops, not sure how I mixed that up!
Really fantastic work, Johnny! They turned out amazing! 😃
Thanks a bunch for all the tips!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Johnny you should start a series like new Yankees workshop. I love your videos and explanations.
I wonder how many got the Dexter reference, lol, I'm going to use that one, good video
Loving the house Johnny keep up the good work
Awesome job. When are we gonna see more of the dream shop, it’s been a minute since the last shop video.

The shirt! 😂 that’s great

It's going to be close, you might be able to get away with it but it will be running quite a bit to keep up for sure.
The video I’ve been waiting on
A solid primer on cabinet painting! (seewhatIdidthere) lol
Seriously, nice job.
Solid video, appreciate it!

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

Really like your videos Johnny! What brand of refrigerator was that? I'm looking for the exact one with the freezer as a door on the bottom
Very helpful.... thx..
Do you add poly to the paint or do you spray poly after?
Did you just degrease the cabinet before 1st coat or you sanded them as well?
HVLP means High Volume Low Pressure not High Velocity Low Pressure. Big difference
Can the Wargner gun be used for enamel paints?
Thanks for sharing
Godbless tintin
Thanks for visiting!
Raekwon - the chef ? is now doing carpentry work ?
Thank you.
Super
Can you paint over laminate cabinets?
I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure, with the right prep and paint, it’d be possible.
Harbor freight did away with their constant 20% off coupons. Now they just put out coupons on certain items every so often. Bad move on their part, at least in my eyes.
Yea, I think I realized that too! Bummer for sure.
Nice video
Isn't HVLP high volume low pressure?
Wicked helpful
Very cool.
weird how both you and seth both uploaded a video about spray painting in the same day
