- After rolling and brushing the upper cabinets of my kitchen, many commenters wanted me to try and spray the kitchen cabinets. So I purchased this sprayer in the link below and took on the task of spraying my lower cabinets black. The truth is that it's way more work and mess than you think when it comes to a DIY job. I appreciate you watching and would super appreciate if you could subscribe to my channel! Thanks for watching and hopefully you can learn from my mistakes. In this video I used a primer called Stix and also used Benjamin Moore Advanced cabinet paint.

The lack of excitement in your voice as your intro says "An exciting day here" LOL
I bet after filming these videos you have a great blooper reel you're depriving us of. I think the kitchen looks great !
You have no idea....LOL
Man, I love this guy’s realness. He does not hold back, or put on like a lot of other DIYers on YT. As a dad and husband that likes to do my own stuff, I definitely relate. The things we do to please our wives.... lol My cabinet spraying adventure was similar...
How this doesn't have hundreds of thousands of views, I'll never know.
Bro u kill me 🤣. After all that work " I dont even like the way it looks" 🤣. I painted my cupboards too a couple months ago and my thought was, ill never do that again. What a pain in the ass! Keep the videos coming man.
House is dope regardless. Kitchen two-toned is also refreshing and unique. Wood is basic and everyone house has it. Be proud of your efforts because it looks amazing
You get a subscribe, like, and a comment for the humor and realness. You also encouraged me to keep crap like it is, so you helped a marriage because my husband would not be happy if I started renovating the kitchen while he is out of town. 😜😂
I’m just out here saving 1 marriage at a time Elizabeth! Thanks for the love. ✌️
This was great to watch after seeing the video of the uppers done by roller. You make great videos. Hope you don't get discouraged on the subscriber numbers. I know they'll grow as more people see your videos.
Great comments like this stoke the fire Marc! Thanks for taking the time to leave a beauty message! More great videos coming your way ✌️
Appreciate you!
I appreciate you more than you could know for this cabinet series. Thank you! Also, fantastic video!!!!!
Back from the upper cabinet painting video😂🙌🏼
Haha I loved your ending. A verdict we would never hear on any other diy painting video. Keeping it 💯. 😅👍
Glad to hear that you don't like the sprayer. Painted two bedside dressers, tall boy and long dresser with Benjamin Moore paint for furniture with brush and it looks amazing. Had thought of buying sprayer. Glad I didn't.
Gotta admit, I like the wood better, but appreciate your efforts and the fact that you posted the project. Currently renovating my kitchen from the studs out, so it's interesting to see how much cheddar I could have saved if I only had a basement...
Listening to this as I finished 1000 hours of sanding and cleaning up , just to find out I have to sand again after primer ! (All while having 3 kids that eat every 20 minutes!) I’m over it , let me just burn the kitchen down and file it on my insurance. Peace ✌️
I agree. I liked it before. Excellent job. Please do a revisit in like 6 months to see how it withstood all the wear. Thank you.
Haven't even watched yet, just commenting to say I AM SO EXCITED to see a post from you in my feed today! Your videos are hilarious, I appreciate the reality of these projects.
Well hopefully this one lives up to the hype!
I have looked at tons of cabinet painting videos for my spring project. Yours are some of the best! Very honest, informative and funny. Your candor is refreshing. Thank you and please keep them comin.
I very much appreciate that Amanda. I’ll keep them coming and I’ll post a durability update sooner than later.
I also, liked your kitchen before, but if wifeys happy, that’s all that matters. Great video, again, thank you for saving me from making a huge mistake. My kitchens half the size, but we have zero space to even attempt it.
ok after the first one I was like yeah not going to do it but the spray looks so good I am very tempted
By the way Rink, the "melamine stuff for the shelves" is called the cabinet banding. love the channel bro
Your videos are amazing! Keep doing the videos and being real with people. This is what UA-cam needs - seeing the reality of a DIY project.
So glad I stumble upon your videos as I am planning to spray my kitchen cabinet doors. Thanks for showing the real and "fun" experience... it's refreshing to hear an honest and helpful commentary! Would love to see more videos of your DIYs.
Well I'm glad you stumbled upon it too! My videos are fairly thorough so they take forever to make which is why I don't have many! Hit that subscribe button though so you don't miss them. Thanks for watching!!!!
This looks great, I agree that I like the wood (and even half wood) more but that's not what's popular anymore. More than that though, I appreciate how thorough but concise you are (showing the three doors, expressing frustration but not going on for 15 minutes about the one thing). Thank you.
1st, as an American, I have to say you sound funny with your accent (lol). Great job with your videos in this series. I have been eyeing my dark kitchen cabinets and thinking about painting them myself. You confirmed it is not a job to take on if you are a perfectionist, which I am. I also agree that your cabinets did not need painting. There were beautiful as they were. With that being said, great job keeping your wife happy!
I had a great time watching your cabinet painting series! Informative and hilarious too 😂! Thank you for taking time and effort to make these videos and I really appreciate! Finally I have bought the stix primer and advanced paint and I am going to work on my kitchen this Memorial Day👌 again many thanks for sharing and keep up the wonderful work
Hey thanks so much Jin Sun! It's very satisfying when people recognize the effort it takes to put together a video like this. I really appreciate it and good luck to you on the cabinet painting journey!
SOoooooo helpful. I'm in the throws of doing this now.
That’s what I love to hear! Thanks for watching.
For all your hard work, the kitchen looks beautiful! I was thinking about doing this, but I'm too lazy lol
Typo: replace "lazy" with smart. lol
I love the results.
I just hired someone to do my kitchen thanks to you … almost attempted it myself
You are a very smart person!
Turned out great! Definitely agree on the space thing for spraying. I've done our uppers and still have our lowers left to spray and I've gotta be honest... I'm not looking forward to tearing my shop apart to make room for the makeshift paint booth again... Keep up the good work. Love your candor!
And the space for hanging them to dry!🤙
Was so excited to see this update video today!! Your kitchen turned out great... I’m loving the vibe of the two toned cabinets. I think it’ll grow on you with a little time. What’s up next? Can’t wait to see your next project!
Thank you for sharing your experience. You confirmed everything I was thinking. Now I just have to suck it up and do it. I’m so relieved you did not spray the island. I have sprayed rooms in my house and it is ALOT prep. and overspray.
Thanks again for an easy to watch, realistic, informative video.
Yep. perfect, unfiltered. Thank you. We are trying to spray our kitchen now. Just getting some last minute tips. Thank you!
Great job, man! You just talked me into spraying the closet systems I’m building... I’m practicing to make some built-ins in my living room.
No way. The black looks amazing. Could be the cover of home and gardens.
They make special paint for sprayers that’s ready to go. Pre-catalized is the best for this application. It makes all the difference in the world. The correct type of sprayer also helps. You will always have overspray but the right type reduces it to a minimal. Low pressure high volume reduces bounce back and overspray.
Nice honest video. Was actually looking for operating tips for the gun like dialing it in and how that works but still a good watch.
Thanks Scott. I would have gone through the gun but I was a fish out of water with it. I think viscosity differences and all the variations make each job unique. I just had to play with it to get it right. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting! Good luck.
@@RinkVideo No worries. I was working outside on a large deck so overspray was less of an issue. I figured it out watching another youtuber guy who showed just the knob operation. FYI, I used 1/2 the paint that I used with a roller and brush putting on the first coat the previous week in 1/2 the time. Great little gun. Cheers!
@@Synonomous perfect! 🤙
We are about to redo our cabinets and epoxy our countertops to get our house ready as a rental. My hubby loves doing stuff like this but I am going to show him your videos cause he thinks this is going to be easy peasy. I guess his man cave (the garage) is going to become a paint booth for his fancy sprayer I bought him..🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
You just gained your self a new sub! You were so not amused with this. 😂😂🤣🤣
I’d leave lowers as is after that lol but thanks most informative video in that
You are great, man! The kitchen looks perfect! I wish I was able to convince my husband to paint our kitchen! 🤔
You just have to do what my wife does. Act like it was his idea, then pretend to try and talk him out of it. He will counter and get it done. If that fails, just say you’re going to have to call in a “professional “.... lol
I really enjoyed your video on upgrading kitchen cabinets HOWEVER your warnings about the mess, etc etc Understatement of the year.... its freakin aweful!! and I'm doing it roller style. Kitchen quarter the size of yours, but the mess was Mount Versuvius exploding!! I've now got to sand down the doors, do the bottom cabinets..... do the hardware..... feel like running away and just leaving it. BUT you have given me the energy to finish it off. Dreading the hardware, as its old fashioned from 1980's:( UGLY!! my husband is the "cheapO", so gotta clean 30 years of Cr** off and then paint/spray/rub&dub? Still gotta decide??Thanks again your did a Beautiful job!!
LOL...don't say I didn't warn you! Sounds like you have the right attitude so I'm sure it will be great in the end.
❤️ the kitchen…in the process of painting out our kitchen…thanks for the tips. We are painting it not spraying….
Awww After all that work, you like the wood better. But, you did a GREAT job for an armature! I am a renter so, I am going to use DC fix contact paper to cover my cabinets.
Wow! Glad to see you back at it. 😀 You are so funny! We are in the refresh stage on our house and have only painted a small bathroom ceiling...
This video took FOREVER to make! Thanks for watching! I'm still trying to get that concrete floor video done.
We will not be painting or spraying our cabinets. Your two video saved my dear husband from a lot of work. I hope to just get new countertops. 🔪⏲👩🍳 Loved that your video showed the disarray that is inevitable when you do a DIY project!
Thanks for the video. I watched your first one as well and appreciate the tips. I am getting ready to paint my cabinets and decided to purchase a sprayer for the doors and drawers. I will brush and roll the boxes. I typically rate my DIY projects in terms of *BEER NEEDED* , I feel a Keg is coming for this one.
A keg might be enough. But I doubt it. GOOD LUCK!
Looks spectacular !
I'm so sad you don't like it!! I think it looks really nice. I think you've talked me out of DIY painting my own cabinets, though!
I'm so happy that I talked you out of it Jackie! To be honest, (and I should have made a video about it) is that living with the painted cabinets is like walking on eggshells. You're constantly worried about chipping and scratching the paint (which happens) so you end up cooking differently, putting the dishes away differently, and in general just a lot more cautious. It's not a great feeling.
Dude I love watching your videos. I am planning on doing the cabinets in the kitchen. Yes the wife of the couple. My hubby is actually building the bathroom that had termite damage. So it is a trade off. I am not jack hammering out plumbing. Thanks for the side by side. People have been telling me to roll, but based on your review, even though it is a pain in the ass, I am going to spray.
Quality video. Thanks!
I love this guy and his humor!
Dude I fucking love this guy! Awesome videos
I preferred spraying our kitchen ceiling simply because it was less physically demanding to put up plastic then using a roller above my head!
My wife says, "hey, so I was thinking". My response is always, "how much is it going to cost?". The things we do as husbands, ugh.
Love your kitchen, love you! I am about to paint my kitchen similar to yours but I think I will keep my island nature wood - not painted. Thanks for the video. You guys are great.
Really appreciate your video and all the candor. You've convinced me to not try and repaint our cabinets. I think the white and black looks great but I like the wood too. Not worth all the hardwork IMHO.
You're smarter than me! Great decision and thanks for watching Karen!
Tks for the video Man!!!
I'm a cabinet maker and refinisher. It's not an easy job at all if you do it well... Anyone can be a bad painter, but to be a good and efficient painter is very difficult. For us to do a complete kitchen refinish in 2 days with a 2 man crew is considered great time efficiency. But to do that, you gotta know exactly what you are doing and do it right the first time. Masking a kitchen properly to be sprayed takes almost an entire day for a single person.
Oh man I've been waiting for this video. I appreciate your honest feedback on this and your kitchen looks about the same as mine as far as how the finished product turned out. At one point I tried to spray mine also and what a friggin hot mess I had. Seriously...grown man crying. I almost got to the point of saying fu** it and looking for factory white cabinets. Had it not been for what new counter would have cost I'd have done it. All of these YT videos of people saying they painted their kitchen in one sunny afternoon is lying and if they were to put the camera right up to their newly painted kitchen cabinets everyone would see that it looks like shit. I agree with your final opinion of the entire process and the look of the finished product...I would never attempt to do something like this again. And it's not cheap at all. I used $100 gallon self leveling paint (bullshit) and I am very anal about my house and have no kids and I still have a knick or two on the cabinets. If you have a family...forget it. This will look like shit in a month or less depending on how a family lives in their home. But good job man!!!
Fantastic video!
1 min 37sec. in , my brain says " instructions ,we don't need no stinking instructions ".... this should be a hoot
Thank you! Great job and very useful review! But I, like you, preferred the kitchen before.
Great job. Much prefer the new look over the old timber. Very modern looking. I'm just hoping the wife doesn't see this video. 😷
Oh I’ve seen it! I think it’s hilarious. So very grateful! My husband is capable of anything- I would have gave up during the sanding stage!
Kitchen looks great. Painted my kitchen last month with roller. After your video grateful I didn’t even think about a sprayer. However tell me that was not a bud light in your vid. 🤷♀️ microbrews are way better.😆
Hhahaha....touche! I'm a connoisseur of the craft brews myself but was so hot and dusty that I could have guzzled the paint out of that sprayer can. It was more of "I need a drink or I might die" situation and there just happened to be a box of bud light sitting directly under that sink on a cold garage floor. It was actually delicious to boot!
Your hilarious and informative
Thanks
Love the kitchen
Where’d you get the beautiful stools?
Please don’t say you made them😏
Ah thanks so much! I think those basket stools came from Structube.
It too bad they didnt encourage you to use a primer that is tinted to the island.
Great vid
My husband loves you, you’re so funny
I subscribed, your video is so funny!
You're awesome!! I am LOL with almost every comment you make.
Lolol…I’m glad you got a good laugh! Thanks for watching Lili.
Ha. I love the honesty. I😂
You shouldn't be embarrassed about the state of your kitchen. Be embarrassed about wearing sunglasses indoors while talking about the state of your kitchen. Kidding! I think the kitchen looks great after painting and as you said, you can't REALLY tell unless close up if it was rolled or sprayed. I just finished my uppers (rolled/brushed) and yes, it did take way longer than I thought. I was losing my will to live as each day went on because I did it all myself (husband is a terrible painter). I enjoy your very real videos and honesty! What was your final thoughts on the sprayer? Do you think maybe a higher-end sprayer would've made it easier? PS: We don't have as much space as you (with a basement), but I don't see why a spray booth couldn't have been set up outside or in the garage.
Lolol that’s a good one Sharon! I thought the same thing! I look like an idiot. Honestly we often wear sunglasses indoors because our house gets smoked by the sun and it shines 300 days a year here. Where the camera is sitting, I couldn’t see the controls and then just forgot to remove shades for the shot. Regardless, it is embarrassing....LOL
Whoops I did read your entire comment before I hit send! Yeah I certainly think an expensive sprayer would have helped for sure. A booth outside for me wouldn’t work because it’s windy where I live and I park inside the garage. The thing for me, that I failed to mention, is that painting is somewhat therapeutic. It’s relaxing and peaceful for me. With the sprayer it’s the complete opposite - wearing a mask and the loud noise of the compressor and exhaust fan makes it feel chaotic and unpleasant. Ya know? Your comment is hilarious btw.
@@RinkVideo I get it with the painting being therapeutic! Other than having our house look like a tornado went through it, I enjoyed the painting process. And sunglasses inside is no big deal esp when you explain how sunny it is here you live - and looks like y’all have a lot of windows. We like parking in our garage as well, but when working on a project we sacrifice that. I’d totally love to have all that basement space though! It looks like a great setup, even though the work to do it was insane for how quickly the spraying is finished.
Happy Wife, Happy Life. But,
they did look better before.
This was incredibly helpful!
Music to my ears! Glad you got something out of it Denise. Thanks for letting me know 👍
Like the channel, thanks for the honest feedback
Kitchen looks nice how many times did you prime ?
How is the edging tape holding up with the paint?
😂the reveal❤️
You prefer…wood😂
Roll on!
Haha I have literally been project after project and my wife is having me do it all which I have learned everything off of UA-cam and this is what she wants next is to paint the cabinets well me to paint the cabinets
Love the result!
How does the paint stand up after a year or two
Like you said, I liked it better before
Gotta say, the wood looks pretty 🔥
Imagine how good it would look in about 6 months when the white kitchen becomes dated and everyone wants wood again.
@@RinkVideo 🤣🤣🤣
Another great video! What do you think using an airless sprayer, will it also do a great job as the one (compressed air) you used to paint?
Any updates on how the paint is holding up? Especially that white one.
The white was pretty hard and durable. Black not so much. I sold that house and built a new one though so not sure how it’s holding up in the long long run.
I’ve tried sprayers before and Lord help me it was bad. Never again 😂😂😂. But im only 5 min into video. Letsss see !!
I’m dying😂😂😂😂😂
So funny.
I love the finished kitchen!And the backsplash is perfect with it. Can you tell me the manufacturer and color?
Certainly Mary. The paint is Benjamin Moore Advanced. The white is a really popular color called Chantilly Lace. The black is called Onyx Black. I was freaking out a bit when I was putting the black on because it looks very charcoal gray when it's wet but it dries black. The Chantilliy Lace also looked cold when it was wet and then the color warmed up once it dried. I'm the worst at picking colors but both of these turned out to be fantastic choices! Hope that helps.
Thanks! Can you tell me the tile you chose for the backsplash on the kitchen wall? Is it grey or taupe?
It's definitely grey. The box says Grigio Charo. I think is the pretty much the exact tile but different size: www.homedepot.com/p/MSI-City-Grigio-4-in-x-12-in-Glossy-Ceramic-Gray-Subway-Tile-9-99-sq-ft-case-NHDCITGRI4X12/308720005
Thanks so much! I love your videos!
why was spraying such a chore? if it looks way better isn't it worth the extra effort? I guess we'll see which ones wear first?
Just all the cleaning of the sprayer and ventilation booth etc. Having to hang them. The mess. It was def more work than rolling and much less therapeutic. But like you say, we’ll see what wears first.
What’s the next project?!
I have a great video coming about refinishing outdoor furniture that's pretty good. And it actually works!!!!!! LOL
And a DIY concrete floor that's also quite interesting.
