I want to paint my oak cabs a light cream color then put a darker glaze on it. Is there anything special I have to do? Which is better, latex or oil? and what about foam rollers versus brushes? I really want a smooth finish. Also, do i have to put a clear coat of something on after? thanks

It’s a 25-year-old Porter Cable screw gun! It’s not hard, you just need to practice.

Wired drill. That’s old school!!
I think I’d rather spray the doors. Getting a smooth job without brush marks on the doors looks hard.

Read the label on the deglosser you intend to use. Read the label of the finish paint to see the recommended primer they want you to use.

will the dust free liquid work on commercial alkyd paint? also what would be the best primer and paint to use for bare wood cabinets?

Some people can’t afford a new kitchen. This is a great alternative for them.

no mater how many times you guys paint that old kitchen still old when you open the doors so the best idea (GET A NEW KITCHEN)and enjoy life

I answer all of that in the video. Watch it again. Pause it when you see paint cans.

if I can paint formica,

What kind of paint would you recommend for repainting melamine door? Thanks!
November 26th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Fantastic! I love your videos and have learned a great deal. Thanks.

Yes. Get the right one for oil. Rinse well if you use TSP.

Thanks for your quick response! I bought both oil based primer and oil-based paint for the job. Would the paint conditioner work with oil-based paint?
Also, would you recommend TSP substitute to clean 20-year old kitchen cabinets? Or is soap and water sufficient?
