Great presentation, Wes. Well presented and great content. A question that I hope you will answer: several cabinet doors and drawer fronts in my 7 year old kitchen were damaged by a leaking pipe. These are wood frames with MDF center panels. My wife does not like the dark line that is visible (on all our cabinets, not just the damaged ones) between the center panel and frame. Can these gaps be filled as part of the preparation and with what? Thanks.
Thanks for the video. Great demo. Only starting into spraying. Noticed you use a different type of gun for the top coat. Wondering why. Also you mentioned pre-catalysed varnish, what is this and is it water or oil based. Thanks.
Hi...I use a different gun for the lacquer because I get a smoother finish than the gun that I use for paint. Pre-cat lacquer is a standard finish available at most retail paint outlets and is also available in water base. Thank you. Wes
"Is also available in water base". Does this mean you used oil based? I'm trying to pin down a brand and type because I've seen a couple channels mention that using a sealer over the paint (white specifically) may cause yellowing. At 4:15 you mention the product, but very unclear to me. Is that the vinyl sealer or is that the paint? Trying to pin down the brands and types of vinyl sealers and you didn't mention using one, but I'm assuming you did because you didn't use a primer. Sorry, I'm new to all this.
Nice video but you could take 30 seconds to give the info regarding compressor and gun settings for the paint your using. These can be important information for the newbee painting his or her cabinets.
Hi Wes, I love watching your videos and you do a thorough job explaining ... but, I would love to see a little more explanation on viscosity and adjustments on the gun. especially when spraying the thick latex types from your favorite orange or blue box stores. Thumbs up. Cheers.
Your explaining HOW to paint a Cabinet door ??? Hmmmmm , Well, HOW about explaining what TYPE of Paint being used? What is the Thinning Ratio ? Finish ?Gloss , Egg shell ? IS any PRIMER used ? What is the AIR PRESSURE used ? How many Coats applied ? Your explanation is missing a Few Facts it seems ... Thank You
Hi Wes, great video but maybe in the future can you make another video about your equipment. I have been using an airless sprayer with Benjamin M. Advanced paint and final result was just ok. I'm really interested in your equipment (compressor, spray guns) a bit more thoroughly, with the types of paint. Again thanks for ths video!
A great video as always and the advice of "put a little spackle on your finger and rub it into your crack" will be with me forever. Now, where are my car keys I need to go to A & E (accident and emergency).
A quick question please. If I have the time would you suggest spraying the center panel of a craftsman style cabinet door prior to assembly? Perhaps at least a primer coat and one color coat. I would spray the entire finished door again once assembled. My grave concern is wood movement and shrinkage revealing an unpainted line at the groove. If my concern is unwarranted, I will rest easier. Thank!
Hi, Wes Beautiful finish! I see that you were using the ML Campbell White Vinyly Primer - was this your primer & paint? I’m confused where the paint came in.
Love your videos on finishes Wes! I was wondering if you could tell us more about your spray booth setup sometime. I have a small spray booth for some craft painting and feel like I spend as much time maintaining it as I do painting in it. I would love to see an in depth look at a professional setup.
I agree - complete newbie to spraying - so any tips would be very welcome. I would also appreciate more details on the actual paint materials used, as I only learnt about the clear lacquer finish from your video. I assumed all paint applied was white. Thank you.
@@WoodworkingWithWes awesome Wes! That would be great! Not just features though but if you have recommended products or sources too that would be super helpful. My issue in particular is keeping down the cost but keeping up the airflow on filter media. Thanks!!
Two things. You should always spray all the edges including the inside edges first. That would of kept you from missing then and having to go back over. Second, you completely skipped over the cleaning of the door. If you are trying to show start to finish, as I assume you are, the cleaning process is one of the most important parts of painting. If you are new to this and searching for tips, please make sure you thoroughly clean the project before you paint and after each sanding. The tiniest spec of debris will ruin a paint job.
They’re brand new cabinet doors. He sanded and blew the dust off with compressed air. Cleaning and degreasing cabinets is only required when refinishing older cabinets.
Hi...the sanding sponge I use is a "fine" grit. I use a separate gun for lacquer to eliminate contamination. I personally like the gravity gun for paint and the cup gun for lacquer, just a personal choice. Thanks for watching. Wes
I use MDF for the panel portion of my paint grade doors because of its resistance to expansion and contraction in comparison to a solid wood product. Thanks for watching. Wes.
3-4 coats of the WVP, and sanding between each coat , has never presented a problem in giving me the perfect painted surface. I then spray 2 coats of clear top coat for the final finish. Thanks for watching. Wes
Thanks for the video. Quick question and I apologize if someone else already asked this. Are repairs more difficult on a door finished this way (tinted primer/clear top coat) than one with primer then tinted topcoat? I know clear always tends to lay down better so I see the advantage. Thanks in advance.
Hi Joshua...sorry for the delay ! I don't think the repair method is any better with one application or the other. Of course, they are different...I think it is mainly a matter of getting use to what you are working with. Thanks for watching, Wes
Hi. I see your using white vinyl primer. What is your finish final top coat product? Also why do you prefer to spray clear coat with siphon gun rather than gravity gun. Thank you!
I would suggest checking with your local paint supplier for a pre-cat lacquer available in your area. I feel that is the best information I can give. Thanks for watching, Wes
I’m really struggling with figuring out how to troubleshoot my sprayer’s volume and the paint viscosity. The viscosity is correct, according to the sprayer’s manual, but all I’m seeing is a bunch of liquid dots all over the cabinet N’s surface. Am I not spraying enough paint? Should it essentially look like a layer of liquid? I thought it was supposed to go on thinner, but it’s not working like I thought it would. I’m also working on a prefinished cabinet from Home Depot that I roughed up with an orbital sander because that’s the one that was in stock in the size I needed…is that my problem?
Hello Wes. Great videos, thanks a lot. When painting shaker doors, how do you avoid that, by extension/contraction the non-painted parts of the panel become visible? What about giving the panel 1-2 coats prior assembly? Thanks, Björn
I'm sure you got an outstanding result, but so many coats seems excessive to me. I advocate for 1 or 2 primer costs, and maybe 3 tinted lacquer coats, instead of 4 paint coats and 2 clear coats.
Hi Wes, that looks amazing. I'm a beginner DIY, and wondering if it is possible to get the same results (super smoot finish) with a brush and/or roller? And if so, do you have any tips?
Hi...a spray application will always provide you the smoothest finish. Check with your local paint provider for their suggestion on a product that will give you the smoothest brush or roller application. My local Sherwin Williams was very helpful with that question. Thanks for watching, Wes
I have reddish cabinets Im not sure what kind of wood... but theyre real wood as far as I can see and very nice, but just so dark for a small kitchen. I want to paint them white but really want it to look professional. Would you think an amateur could spray paint their cabinets? Im on a budget. Id love to see a longer video on this about the whole process. Thanks love your channel.
hello good afternoon, I have a question if you answer me I would appreciate it, I would like to know what kind of primer you put on it and also the lacquer and so I can use it
Hi Wes, great video. I've recently (3 months now) have started painting cabinet doors in a shop and I get okay results. But I'm wondering what your saw horse set up is there as well as your ventilation? Sometimes I feel as thought mine is not good enough and I don't know what I need to improve
Hi...the saw horses you have seen me use in the paint shop are just the fold up type that you can purchase at your local big box hardware store. I spray my doors one at a time in front of the filter wall of my spray booth giving me clean air from behind as it removes the over spray through the filters. Thanks for watching. Wes
I am wanted to know if when you use the gravity gun for painting cabinets, does the gun you use handle all types of paint such as enamel, acrylic, and latex? or only certain types of paint. I ask cause in the video I see you use vinyl primer only. Thank you much!
I have been painting for many years and never put more than 2 coats of primer and one coat of the finishing paint. I also use spot putty for my patch outs
Hi...I always get the best finish with a spray application but check with your local paint provider for a product that will give a good finish with brush and roller. I use Sherwin Williams for most of my retail paint supply. Thanks for watching, Wes
you didn't mention the type of PAINT used .... just the primer and clearcoat ..... always share the PROUCTS USED , that's what a lot of people here like to know ..... PRODUCT INFO ..... That's usually the main info I search around for .... I like to compared products
Hi Wes, great video. Can you please steer me in the right direction. Long story short we had a leak and as a result needed to replace some kitchen cabinets and paint remaining cabinets to match. When we renovated our kitchen cabinets about 16 years ago the painter used a laquer finish, because it was suppose to be more smoother and last longer, they are still holding up today pretty good. Anyway, now we need to repaint the entire kitchen, I got a bid for 3,000! By the way my kitchen is not huge, I was floored at the price. So we are going to diy sort of, i was told that in order to repaint, we need to get the laquer finish off of the cabinets, I don’t think they are real wood but more like a solid plywood (I’m guessing) do you think we should use a liquid sandpaper or actual sandpaper, then some sort of primer, then the actual paint? Should they be sprayed for a smoother finish? Should I use semi gloss for kitchen, I am so overwhelmed here, I have a painter, I think, but I want to make sure they don’t cut corners and then paint strips off later. I appreciate and value your time and thank you very much, I hope I hear back. HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS
Have you tried PPG Breakthrough satin paint? I'm hoping to "get the job done" rather than doing it 4x over plus a finish topcoat. I'm hoping to prime what I currently have and then spray paint one time and "be done".
I sanded the raw wood to 150 grit and used a "fine" sanding sponge between the color coats before spraying a clear final top coat. Thanks for watching, Wes
Glad you are enjoying the videos. In this video, I used a tinted primer sealer as my color coat which you should be able to find a similar product through your retail paint supplier. Thanks for watching, Wes
Here is a video on the channel to watch ua-cam.com/video/GC65xp1JjC0/v-deo.html As far as the air compressor, I have run a paint shop with a small compressor before...make sure it provides a steady flow of air and you will be fine. Thanks for watching. Wes
One way of painting kitchen cabinets. However many people are attempting to paint their Golden OAK doors. That requires a different approach. Oak is open grained and unless you want to see all they grain through your paint. The grain MUST be filled with a water based GRAIN FILLER. There are many on the market. I have one I like the best. I also only use acrylic latex paint with a complimentary primer to finish the cabinets. No lacquer ever required. It's ALL water based. I better stop here before I get too wordy.

Hi...you can caulk between the panel and frame with a non-silicone tub and tile caulk. Then do your final sand and paint. Hope this helps, Wes
Thank you!
Whats the ratio you dilute the pain to?
Thanks for the video. Great demo. Only starting into spraying. Noticed you use a different type of gun for the top coat. Wondering why. Also you mentioned pre-catalysed varnish, what is this and is it water or oil based. Thanks.

Facts it seems ...
Thank You
Go to 4 min 15 sec.
Pay attention
If you watched the whole video, you would have EASILY seen all that info, maybe do a little research before sounding like an A$$!
Just a tip on spray painting, keep the tip of the gun perpendicular to the suface being painted. The paint will be even across the surface.
Also, it will yield a more uniform paint film thickness across the piece.
Hi Wes, great video but maybe in the future can you make another video about your equipment. I have been using an airless sprayer with Benjamin M. Advanced paint and final result was just ok.

I was laughing when he said that!
Great video Wes! One question, what grit do you prefer for each sanding? Thanks!
Hi Lawrence...sanding between color coats I use a "fine" sanding sponge. Thanks for watching, Wes

hey did he ever get back to you in a private message regarding your question? Ive often thought of this same question
Hi do you recommend caulking between the panels if they have a floating 1/4 plywood panel?
Hi, Wes Beautiful finish! I see that you were using the ML Campbell White Vinyly Primer - was this your primer & paint? I’m confused where the paint came in.
It looks like he tinted the primer to "snowbound" color
Nice, would be great if you mentioned what paint and top coat you are using.

I have a small spray booth for some craft painting and feel like I spend as much time maintaining it as I do painting in it. I would love to see an in depth look at a professional setup.
Hi Alec...that's a great idea. I will put that on our schedule to show features of a paint booth set-up. Thanks for watching. Wes
I agree - complete newbie to spraying - so any tips would be very welcome. I would also appreciate more details on the actual paint materials used, as I only learnt about the clear lacquer finish from your video. I assumed all paint applied was white. Thank you.

I also hit subscribe and then came back to look for more info about the painting booth.
Why not a pigment lacquer instead of vinyl?
It’s really hard to touch up tinted lacquer in the field.
MDF doesn’t expand and contract with moisture? Tell that to the sheet in my garage that has doubled in size from humidity.

Questions did you paint both coats in the back, do the prep then do the front on all your doors?
Great video! Just 2 questions..what grit sandpaper for sanding between coats and why did you use a different spray gun for the laquer finish?
Hi...the sanding sponge I use is a "fine" grit. I use a separate gun for lacquer to eliminate contamination. I personally like the gravity gun for paint and the cup gun for lacquer, just a personal choice. Thanks for watching. Wes
@@WoodworkingWithWes Thanks for the reply Wes.
What other types of pairs can be used with this sprayer? Latex?
Make you a lazy Susan to put your doors on to be able to stand in the same spot to spray. It is way faster.
MDF doesn't expand and contract? Really?
I use MDF for the panel portion of my paint grade doors because of its resistance to expansion and contraction in comparison to a solid wood product. Thanks for watching. Wes.
Which paint did you
Use ?
Great vid Wes ! So true about those little tiny cracks that show up no matter how well you glue . Paint finds them
Right? Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment. Wes
3-4 coats seems excessive, and only one clear? Wouldn’t you be exceeding the dry mil thickness on the WVP, and under the mil thickness with the clear?
3-4 coats of the WVP, and sanding between each coat , has never presented a problem in giving me the perfect painted surface. I then spray 2 coats of clear top coat for the final finish. Thanks for watching. Wes
What size of tip do you use
Great tips, thank you.
Oh I see which paint...
Thanks for the video. Quick question and I apologize if someone else already asked this. Are repairs more difficult on a door finished this way (tinted primer/clear top coat) than one with primer then tinted topcoat? I know clear always tends to lay down better so I see the advantage.

Hi. I see your using white vinyl primer. What is your finish final top coat product? Also why do you prefer to spray clear coat with siphon gun rather than gravity gun. Thank you!
Hi...my top coat is clear pre cat lacquer. The spray gun is just a personal choice that has guaranteed me perfect finishes. Thanks for watching, Wes
And I need to ask the spraygun 1.3.
Hi, I need to ask the material it is water-based or oil based
I went to look at HVLP sprayers and they all say NOT FOR LATEX PAINT. but I see everyone using them.
I do not use latex paint and I don't think the sprayer I use would handle that. Thanks for watching, Wes
do you thin up the paint in order to use it in the gun?
Thank you Wes for all you do! I've learn so much!
Very welcome...thank you for being part of our community. I appreciate the comment, Wes
I'd wear a respirator
Between coats, what grit paper do you use? I have 150 paper now.
Hi...180 to 220 makes a smoother finish. Thanks for watching, Wes
Great video Wes! I always enjoy seeing how you create your fabulous work!👌👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍

What about giving the panel 1-2 coats prior assembly?
Thanks, Björn
How long did you wait after the firdt coat before you started sanding with the sanding sponge
About 30 minutes or until dry to the touch. Thanks, Wes
Curious why you use a clear top coat over the paint? Is the paint latex and you top coat with a water based lacquer?
The color coat is a primer/sealer and is not a finish top coat material. Therefore, it needs a top coat. Thanks for watching, Wes
I'm stunned that you blow dust instead of vacuum. No tac-cloth? Wow! Pre-cat is nowhere near as durable as post-cat.
Why does Behr and Benjamin tell me they don't authorize HVLP sprayers for their paints?
Yes fill the crack.
Can I spray a primer on dovetail joinery using an airbrush?
Yes, spraying a dove tail joint shouldn't be a problem. Thanks, Wes
Hey Wes. Awesome videos. Quick question. What top coat would you use to put on Benjamin Moore Auro water based paint on kitchen cabinet. Thanks!!
I'm sure you got an outstanding result, but so many coats seems excessive to me. I advocate for 1 or 2 primer costs, and maybe 3 tinted lacquer coats, instead of 4 paint coats and 2 clear coats.

@@WoodworkingWithWes Excellent - as per my post above I would be very interested in this too. Really informative videos.
hello good afternoon, I have a question if you answer me I would appreciate it, I would like to know what kind of primer you put on it and also the lacquer and so I can use it
So is the first coat primer. Your saying paint. If so, your confusing first timers. Looks great
Hello Wes,
Can you tell me what kind of primer you used and what kind of paint and what type of finish?
Do you ever use polyurethane instead of lacquer? If not why?
Was the vinyl primer you used considered the color coat? You never show a paint color before clear coating
So much do you usually rub into your crack? 😂
All jokes aside. I love your videos and thanks for the bonus laugh.
Hi Wes, great video. I've recently (3 months now) have started painting cabinet doors in a shop and I get okay results. But I'm wondering what your saw horse set up is there as well as your ventilation? Sometimes I feel as thought mine is not good enough and I don't know what I need to improve
Hi...the saw horses you have seen me use in the paint shop are just the fold up type that you can purchase at your local big box hardware store. I spray my doors one at a time in front of the filter wall of my spray booth giving me clean air from behind as it removes the over spray through the filters. Thanks for watching. Wes
@@WoodworkingWithWes thanks!
What paint finish are you using on the cabinets?
The color coat is a white primer sealer and finished with a clear top coat. Thanks, Wes
why you would not run the panel thru the router bit and have perfect fit instead of using the table saw
I am wanted to know if when you use the gravity gun for painting cabinets, does the gun you use handle all types of paint such as enamel, acrylic, and latex? or only certain types of paint. I ask cause in the video I see you use vinyl primer only. Thank you much!
Great content as always! Love how you draw on the years of experience and manage to keep it simple with great results. Every. Time.
Thank you so very much...I really appreciate your comments and continued support. Wes
😂😂😂 3:06
Why does the gravity fed sprayer say is does not work with latex?
you suppose to prime first, then spackle, then prime again ! sand it wit 150 &180 grit !! then spray 2 or 3 hand of paint 👌
And also what aize needle do you use on sprayer and how do you adjust the apray gun too?
So, let me get this straight... you rub it where again? 😂 (@3:08)
If you were doing a full set of cabinets, how would you go about the process? For instance do you hang them? Or do one side fully and then flip them
I spray my doors flat and flip back and forth for each step ending with the top coat on the front as my final application. Thanks for watching, Wes
What brand is the painting gun, do you use it with a compressor?
Ah winter sucks.. especially when you can only do it outside
great video. do you not prime before painting?
The paint is a tinted primer. Thanks for watching, Wes
A no nonsense man! Great info.
Thank you for visiting...glad you enjoyed the video. Wes
I have been painting for many years and never put more than 2 coats of primer and one coat of the finishing paint.
I also use spot putty for my patch outs
3:30 "I rub it...into my crack" 😂
You lost me with no primer and spackle.
Is it true that you use a lot more paint with a sprayer?
Some times you do! Thanks for watching, Wes 😀
Hi Wes,
Is it possible to get the same finish with a brush and sanding in between if you don't have a paint gun ❓

My cabinets are cream color and I want to go with a lighter cream and paint other cabinets some sort of dark color.
What paint did you use for the 2 coats ??
Where can I found this product? I have probably I painted rent apartment and they need to return original wood and I can’t afford it .
Please check with your local paint supplier for the products mentioned in the video. Thanks, Wes

conversio varnish paint use a full face mask that shitt its strong
What grit sandpaper?
I sanded the raw wood to 150 grit and used a "fine" sanding sponge between the color coats before spraying a clear final top coat. Thanks for watching, Wes
Wes you rekindle my love for carpentry. Could you recommend me a paint to do this job.
Glad you are enjoying the videos. In this video, I used a tinted primer sealer as my color coat which you should be able to find a similar product through your retail paint supplier. Thanks for watching, Wes
Great video sir!! Sir what type of gun and paint are you using? And what size air compressor do you use Thanks
Here is a video on the channel to watch

As far as the air compressor, I have run a paint shop with a small compressor before...make sure it provides a steady flow of air and you will be fine. Thanks for watching. Wes
One way of painting kitchen cabinets. However many people are attempting to paint their Golden OAK doors. That requires a different approach. Oak is open grained and unless you want to see all they grain through your paint. The grain MUST be filled with a water based GRAIN FILLER. There are many on the market. I have one I like the best. I also only use acrylic latex paint with a complimentary primer to finish the cabinets. No lacquer ever required. It's ALL water based. I better stop here before I get too wordy.
Hi David...I do have a video up for filling the grain before painting. Thanks for your comment and for visiting the channel. Wes
