I guess you mean HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) not High Pressure Low Volume. This may confuse the big box salesman when people show up trying to buy high pressure sprayers.
I just saw you at the golf course and I regret not coming up to thank you. I used your advice to renovate my powder room and install ceramic tile in my hallway/laundry room. Your invaluable advice was deeply appreciated. Thanks for all of your efforts and your fantastic instructional videos.
I don’t understand why other contractors are criticizing this man, he obviously doing a great job helping home owners to do their own projects, so if you are a hater who thinks you can do better why you don’t open your own UA-cam channel and stop criticizing that is not professional
Here’s a tip: for the gravity gun you can get a cup that uses a “bladder” inside. Before spraying, to bleed the air out, you turn the gun upside down and spray until fluid starts spraying. This way you can spray upside down, sideways, any direction. They’re used a lot in the auto body painting business.
Paint the inside of the cabinets first then work your way out. This will stop you from messing up the wet paint on the face while reaching into the cabinet.
@@hboy954 I don't use the pneumatic sprayers like this guy does or HVLP systems. I use airless for painting cabinets, even though there are better options but I still get great results. The tips I use are for graco airless sprayer. FFLP 310 tips.
@@drdilettante even then it doesn’t seem like enough. We were finishing up a hospital and they had me sound caulking where sheetrock met concrete for a few weeks. Even with Sellstrom KneePros and a kneeling pad my knees were sore af after 10 hours.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY haha ain’t that the truth. Just hope you take care of yourself and use good ppe, we care about you. I knew a few retired painters who developed some real nasty brain/lung conditions. You work hard enough to deserve a long and healthy retirement.
Kudos to you staying so clean during painting! I’m impressed. I always end up with paint on my clothes, shoes, on my face, in my hair. I have a special set of “paint clothes”. Cheers!
I just repainted my cabinets with the c2 + the hardener. I used a huskey hvlp gun with the 2.2mm tip and it sprayed fantastic, finish product is awesome. It was expensive but the finish came out so nice. I ended up doing basically the exact same thing as you before you posted this video. Love your content btw, it's been extremely helpful as we have been going through our house
@@captaincane64 it's an older craftsman 12 gallon or so that I got from my dad. Using the black husky gun that comes with the air regulator I sprayed it at about 30-35 psi. Never had issues with running out of air
@@jonlamey48178 thanks for taking the time to comment. I really like the husky gun but wasn’t sure what compressor to pair it with. Glad to see it can be paired with a smaller compressor. Again thanks for the information.
My brother is a excellent contractor and master carpenter his work is nothing less than perfect . Not all contractors are bad every homeowner has been very very happy with their results . My brother shared your channel with me , I’ve been learning a lot of stuff and I’m helping him on his jobs now 😁👍👍👍
I am liking your videos and I will be doing the tile over tile. For this one, I have been doing cabinets for 15 years. I am a 61 yr old female. : ) My preferred primer is Zinsser Red Label shellac based. You ALWAYS need to strain your paints/primer before putting it into the gun. Wear a respirator and goggles, dude. I do not spray inside boxes because the blow back is incredible. I roll the insides and spray the outer surfaces. Cabinet doors, I sand, then use the same Zinsser Red Label primer, then sand again. Then I use PPG Breakthrough! Get your doors up and off the surface by using a "lazy susan." (easy to make) and then you can spin those doors! I spray backs first, then fronts (1x or 2x). The edges are easy when the door is elevated. Just spin the door. Fronts: spray the edges, then give one continuous swipe across with the gun, starting the spray before reaching the door and ending it after passing the final edge. You will always have a weak spot on the door face (where the shaker panel is joined) so rotate the door 180 degrees and give one run across that join. Do not use short little sprays on doors. I love PPG Breakthrough because it is self-leveling and evens out so nicely. I wish I could try your product, C2. Is it available in the US?
Using a HVLP sprayer helps with overspray (blow back) problem. When you paint cabinet doors ideally you want to break the paint bridge between the frame and the panel insert so it can move (caused by humidity & temperature changes). PPG breakthrough isn't very durable and can degrade by household cleaners. BM Adanced or BM Command are the two more durable non-lacquer paints available.
@@maddierosemusic INSLX not so good compared to BM Advanced, BM Command, or BM-Lenmar. other brands would be Milesi & Renner. If it needs to be apply with a brush is sucks in my opinion.
Perfect video for us. We are replacing all kitchen cabinet doors in a rental with those same MDF doors. Bought a cheap sprayer because I’ll be spraying them just like you. Probably just going to roll the face of the cabinets because there are tenants in the property. We made new counters out of MDF and topped them with epoxy. They turned out pretty good. Use red gard on the bottom and also painted the bottoms to make sure if anybody looked they wouldn’t be red. New sink & faucet, New range hood. Should be super clean and nice.
I have used that Husky HVLP- I ditch the included micro filters. They clog up and you have to empty the cup to clean it. Just use a paper paint filter while filling the cup. Done. That dewalt pancake compressor has a higher 165 psi cut off, and is decently quiet for a pancake. I recommend Hitachi’s The Tank pancake for even higher psi cutoff. Since they both have two taps each, you can daisy chain them to get higher CFMs. Just keep your psi set to what the sprayer needs (below 50 psi).
Never realized spraying was so easy! I could totally do this with my little compressor! I think I’ve got a new idea for the birthday present list I never can think of anything for! :)
Most compressors you buy at home Depot don't have enough pressure for this type of painting. Not the size. Cause you can get a 20 gallon but not enough pressure and it won't spray right
@@ssa12654 Its not the size of the tank that matters. Its the cfm that the compressor puts out. The tool or gun being used on it cant be using more cfm (cubic ft per minute) than the compressor puts out. The tank pressure would be used up faster and the gun wont spray right, because in this case, you are using air more quicker than the compressor can supply. People just buy any size compressor and grab air tools and find out the hard way. Each tool will say how much cfm is required. The air compressor will say how much cfm it puts out. More cfm is better in the compressor. if you have a smaller tank you might be seeing it never shuts off because it never gets the chance to fill completely while running a tool.
Loving the budget build and working with existing materials. I know im not the only one dealing with a 100+ year old house thats willy wonka'd itself over time and nothing new or square seems to fit lol.
well explained Jeff. always remember back at college.. the first years came in with some wooden tool racks the joinery department students had made. The P&D 1st years started filling the wood/gaps etc. We were in the final 4th year of City&Guilds P&D and looked at the first years and said..... what are you filling those for with out knotting the knots and priming the wood first, haven't you learnt anything these last few months!! LoL Even now, I'm telling people, you need to prime before you fill. .. then have to tell them the reasons why lol Keep up the great work.
Very informative, thanks! I am looking to repaint our kitchen cabinets. I think the previous owners A) didn't prime and B) applied conventional latex a roller. The finish has always had a rubbery, tacky feel to it and it's wearing away in spots that see a lot of action.
very helpful video, thank you. can you explain how to clean those husky paint sprayers? I heard different things about how to clean and dispose of oil based paint. Thank you
I used a dewalt trim compressor. Granted it is not as fast as a dedicated paint spraying machine However it is incredibly affordable and does a nice job with a little patience. save the 2500.00 investment . Cheers!
Never used a spray-gun. Only rollers and brushes. Interesting to see how it’s work. And you don’t put paint everywhere else than the surface you need to paint. 👍
So my question is in your hvlp kit what size compressor are you using? I’ve read you need like a 20 gallon to power it. For that I’ll just get an airless , even though the lack of overspray is appealing to me as an asthmatic
I do tons of cabinet repaints and I can’t express enough if you do them frequently pick up a turbine sprayer with a remote cup or flex liner setup. Doesn’t have to be anything crazy since you can thin paints with XIM. C2 is something I’m surprised to see you using! By far the best cabinet paints for high quality. Another great product to try is ppg breakthrough. Not as high quality of a finish but still extremely good and dries almost instantly
BM Command or BM advance is more durable than C2. I saw a video of a cabinet guy that sprayed a cabinet door with a bunch of paints including C2, BM command, BM advance, SW emerald, PPG breakthrough, INSL-X, etc. and BM command & Advance came up on top. BM advance does take a long time to dry about 8 hours dry to touch and 16 hours between coats.
@@guytech7310 I like command a lot as well. I can’t stand advance. It’s one of the most stressful paints I’ve dealt with for almost any usage. It takes forever to dry and I can’t remember but I thought the C2 with the hardener beat out advanced on a few videos. Could be wrong but I’ve since this comment actually changed it up a bit. I like breakthrough and command for a lot of things. Kitchen cabinets the only paint I’ll use is C2. However, not really a paint but envirolak seems to be better than every paint hands down. So typically I spray kitchen cabinets with envirolak or C2. Other cabinets, vanities and trim I will use breakthrough or command.
@@vincentbianco583 Have you ever tried Target Coatings EM6500, Kem Aqua, or SW ProClassic for cabinets? Do you think C2 and Envirolak perform better than those?
@@logicalblueberry I haven't used either. For cabinets & Doors I been using Benj. Moore Command & Lenmar UltraLaq. I wanted something durable & I could apply using a HVLP spray gun.
I once lived in an apartment with tiled countertops. While it was convenient to be able to put hot items on the counter without melting it, that was outweighed by the aggravation of trying to keep all those grout lines clean. If it's not too late I'd recommend doing the countertop in a different material.
We just bought the Graco X5 Paint Sprayer that you recommended for our house. Does it have an option to do this? Smaller little handy gravity tank accessory? Also looove all of your videos!! Keep them coming! Please
I bought a pressure pot from harbor freight last year and primed the inside of my barn with it. I'm still not very good at it but it will come in very handy on future projects and was a bargain. It's hard to mess up something that's air powered.
I’d love it if you’d do a who,evidently about exactly how to paint spray. With every detail & gravity fed vs the other & electric sprayers. I’ve wanted one for years but air compressor situation scares me. Like how big of a compressor do u need + 20 other questions. I’d looove to hear your thoughts etc before I buy one. Especially cuz I’ll be wanting the best one for cheapest price. (In Canada they’re not as cheap as they are in USA. U lucky ducks). 😊
Hey there! What’s the difference between spraying the cabinets and manually painting them like you do in your other video? Do you have a personal preference?
What air tank do you use?? I’m about to start some small painting projects and would like to get an air tank but not over spend on it. Not sure if at least needs to meet the minimum CFM specified by the gun spray. Thanks!!!
Should I paint my stained cabinet interior when painting? They are a light picked stain. Painting light shade of blue. Also, I have a compressor. Do I use it with a hvlp gun? Cup or gravity gun? Looking for best DIY level to get a good job for the least money. I am not a pro.
I’ve used this Zinzer product on furniture refinishing. It did not work. I sanded. Primed twice and still got bleed through in some spots. A better product is the primer by General finishes. It’s pricey but well worth it.
If you read their label, they literally tell you exactly what product to use to spot prime tannin/sap bleed through, and it's their shellac based primer BIN. Reading failure, not product failure, Zinsser have very good labels honestly.
What type of compressor was used here because that finish still came out mighty 👍 nice. I currently have a Metabo 6gallon pancake that is able to produce 4cfm at 90psi
Absolutely love your videos! So informative! Question I have a small hobby compressor, can I use it to paint my cupboards by just replacing a bigger paint dispenser ? TIA
A small compressor will work, but you like have short spray time as you wait for the compressor to recharge the tank to get up to the pressure needed. (ie you spray for 30 seconds, than wait 30 seconds for the air tank to refill).
Jeff, you don't actually specifically mention what the first product is that you're spraying. I found out that it is Zinsser oil based stain blocking PRIMER...you actually refer to it as paint a couple times during the video and it was confusing at first. Your videos are a must for my handyman business. Thank you!
Nice, I have tried a couple different plug in electric sprayers (not cheap) and wasn't anywhere near as impressed as my old compressor and simple spray gun. The soft fine mist I set it to that came out made a mediocre sprayer get great results. Also you compressor you use, I think you mentioned before it was a DeWalt trim compressor, is it as quiet as it seems in the video?
the dewalt compressors are not bad, but they are nowhere near as quiet as the dedicated quiet compresors. They typically come down in the 70db range, where quiet compressors are more like 60's, and the cheapo pancake compressors (Which are so loud you have to turn them off to have a conversation in the same room while wearing hearing protection) come in in the mid 80's. they also are not much smaller or lighter than the new 60db quiet compressors on the market. Honestly, my feel right now is that Dewalt is trailing the pack on air compressor tech. You don't really save any money, they are louder, and their trim compressors have quite low cfm as compared to the competitors. Makita, Senco, king industrial, and California Air Tools all have better performing rigs for about the same money or cheaper. (just be careful with makitas, they label basically their entire line as "quiet", but there's an easy 10dB variance between them. 70dB is not horrific, but it's nowhere near the 60 and under a true quiet compressor can achieve. )
nice video jeff...please keep making more of it. 2 quick questions. a) is this sprayer dust free? I see you are not using mask and not sure if it is dust free. I plan to get a sprayer and was looking at something which can be dust free (or very less dust). Please suggest any if it is not dust free. b) You said the canadian company which is making cabinet door and said there is a link in the description. I dont see the link. I see only the C2paint which has more of paint products. Can you please suggest the cabinet doors making company link please? Appreciate all you do to the communutiy and keep up the great work. Kudos to you and your team.
Good starting point to elevate our DIY skills from just brush/roller. Oil based primers are really effective, but impossible to clean up. Do you have any tips on how to clean the air gun and skin after use? (similarly to how you taught us to clean the paint brushes from some of your early videos) As of right now, only able to just drown everything in mineral spirits...
there are many levels to oil based cleaners. I would suggest up your game to varsol for effective cleaning and then change out rubber gaskets. either way a 2 gun system from husky at such a low price means you have the option to toss the gun and forget ab out the cleanup and enjoy all the money you saved. Cheers!
I learned a lot from you Jeff you are a good teacher, I wonder why you haven't yet invest with the airless sprayer like graco!, I paint my whole house with it, and I paint my cabinet and trims you should give it try.
I have great equipment for my personal use. in my videos I try to show the lower cost options for a 1 off so homeowners can have confidence to do it themselves.
I have a c2 dealer in ottawa. check with the c2 webpage for a dealer near you. in almost every case they will match the deal I am offering if you mention it. Cheers!
I just have a question. How do I know when the paint is dry on my door to be able to hang it back up without it sticking and pulling the paint off when the door is opened.
I’ve been contemplating buying the same spray-Gunn you’re using in this vid but I believe it states on the label to use at least a 30 gal tank. I have the Husky Quiet 20 gal. Will I have issues spraying small panels and small pieces in my shop with the 20 gal tank?
You can spray with just about any compressor. The tank size just determines how long you can spray before the compressor has to charge. A few minutes of wait time while the compressor recharges isn't a problem when spraying that type of product for kitchen cabinets and such. Fast drying, high gloss automotive painting requires a large compressor because you don't want any breaks when laying down a continuous wet surface from start to finish.
I love your videos, watched so many! I am getting ready to paint my kitchen so got many tips today. Could I use an airless sprayer for this job or do you find a HPLV sprayer better for this?

I like breakthrough and command for a lot of things. Kitchen cabinets the only paint I’ll use is C2. However, not really a paint but envirolak seems to be better than every paint hands down. So typically I spray kitchen cabinets with envirolak or C2. Other cabinets, vanities and trim I will use breakthrough or command.
@@guytech7310 What do you think of Kem Aqua , Target Coatings EM6500 or SW Proclassic for painting cabinets and doors?
@@vincentbianco583 Have you ever tried Target Coatings EM6500, Kem Aqua, or SW ProClassic for cabinets? Do you think C2 and Envirolak perform better than those?
@@logicalblueberry I haven't used either. For cabinets & Doors I been using Benj. Moore Command & Lenmar UltraLaq. I wanted something durable & I could apply using a HVLP spray gun.
I once lived in an apartment with tiled countertops. While it was convenient to be able to put hot items on the counter without melting it, that was outweighed by the aggravation of trying to keep all those grout lines clean. If it's not too late I'd recommend doing the countertop in a different material.
counter done in 24 x 30 tile. 2 grout lines with sealer in the grout means easy maintenance. Cheers!
There's always decorative concrete countertops
@@yusefmessallam, I've heard they are difficult to keep clean because they absorb spills.
Did he just say...dead animal stains? LOL You are funny Jeff!
turns out i was right. we just dropped the ceiling last week while filming.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY OMG....horrible. Bet it smelled pretty.
Put lipstick where? Lmbo, hilarious!! I wasn't expecting that..
Was that a carpenters tri- squair you were using as a stir stick did you use a paint strainer for the primer into the gun let me check that hold on !
What would you do to fill in oak grain so you don’t see it after cabinets are painted?
Aqua coat
Grain filler mix some joint compound to the consistency of pancake batter use a brush let dry light sand remove dust primer then 2 finish coats
Love the square as a stirring stick haha
get er done. Cheers!
As a carpenter, I was sad to see the combination square take the dunk into the paint can.😔
Definitely a strange option
As a painter I was sad to see him use a scraper as a putty knife.....actually everything he does makes me cringe
We just bought the Graco X5 Paint Sprayer that you recommended for our house. Does it have an option to do this? Smaller little handy gravity tank accessory?
Also looove all of your videos!! Keep them coming! Please
Thanks Jeff ... Love the budget friendly approach. You use a HVLP sprayer. Can I use an airless sprayer like a Graco X5?
What hvlp sprayer were you using or would you recommend to paint cabinets
What size spray nozzle did you use? Will a 1.4 mm spray nozzle work?
I bought a pressure pot from harbor freight last year and primed the inside of my barn with it. I'm still not very good at it but it will come in very handy on future projects and was a bargain. It's hard to mess up something that's air powered.
say that! Cheers! Perfect every time!
did you connect that pressure pot to an HVLP gun?
@@adrianromerocodes3211 came with it.
I’d love it if you’d do a who,evidently about exactly how to paint spray. With every detail & gravity fed vs the other & electric sprayers. I’ve wanted one for years but air compressor situation scares me. Like how big of a compressor do u need + 20 other questions. I’d looove to hear your thoughts etc before I buy one. Especially cuz I’ll be wanting the best one for cheapest price. (In Canada they’re not as cheap as they are in USA. U lucky ducks). 😊
I as dying to see you spraying behind the cabinet on ur first spray so I’d know what’s not good vs what’s good. You get the point. (I hope)
Stirring ist up with a combination square ist a nice touch 😁. I mean what else could one use, right.
Right?! first time I used one in years!
Hey there! What’s the difference between spraying the cabinets and manually painting them like you do in your other video? Do you have a personal preference?
What air tank do you use?? I’m about to start some small painting projects and would like to get an air tank but not over spend on it. Not sure if at least needs to meet the minimum CFM specified by the gun spray. Thanks!!!
Hello, which air compressor did you end up getting. Thanks.
I wonder if I could do this with my Kobalt 6 gal. compressor. Any thoughts?
I plan to paint a big bathroom and a bed room,.
suggestions on what paint sprayer to get?
Should I paint my stained cabinet interior when painting? They are a light picked stain. Painting light shade of blue.
Also, I have a compressor. Do I use it with a hvlp gun? Cup or gravity gun?
Looking for best DIY level to get a good job for the least money. I am not a pro.
How to clean the tools after use oil base paint?
Is kilz 3 an acceptable primer to use ?
I’ve used this Zinzer product on furniture refinishing. It did not work. I sanded. Primed twice and still got bleed through in some spots. A better product is the primer by General finishes. It’s pricey but well worth it.
or you can use the zinnser shelac but it has high voc's.
If you read their label, they literally tell you exactly what product to use to spot prime tannin/sap bleed through, and it's their shellac based primer BIN. Reading failure, not product failure, Zinsser have very good labels honestly.
What type of compressor was used here because that finish still came out mighty 👍 nice. I currently have a Metabo 6gallon pancake that is able to produce 4cfm at 90psi
Absolutely love your videos!
So informative!
Question I have a small hobby compressor, can I use it to paint my cupboards by just replacing a bigger paint dispenser ? TIA
A small compressor will work, but you like have short spray time as you wait for the compressor to recharge the tank to get up to the pressure needed. (ie you spray for 30 seconds, than wait 30 seconds for the air tank to refill).
What kind of compressor would you need to use this sprayer?
Jeff, you don't actually specifically mention what the first product is that you're spraying. I found out that it is Zinsser oil based stain blocking PRIMER...you actually refer to it as paint a couple times during the video and it was confusing at first. Your videos are a must for my handyman business. Thank you!
Nice, I have tried a couple different plug in electric sprayers (not cheap) and wasn't anywhere near as impressed as my old compressor and simple spray gun. The soft fine mist I set it to that came out made a mediocre sprayer get great results. Also you compressor you use, I think you mentioned before it was a DeWalt trim compressor, is it as quiet as it seems in the video?
purrs like a kitten./ Cheers!
the dewalt compressors are not bad, but they are nowhere near as quiet as the dedicated quiet compresors. They typically come down in the 70db range, where quiet compressors are more like 60's, and the cheapo pancake compressors (Which are so loud you have to turn them off to have a conversation in the same room while wearing hearing protection) come in in the mid 80's. they also are not much smaller or lighter than the new 60db quiet compressors on the market.
Honestly, my feel right now is that Dewalt is trailing the pack on air compressor tech. You don't really save any money, they are louder, and their trim compressors have quite low cfm as compared to the competitors. Makita, Senco, king industrial, and California Air Tools all have better performing rigs for about the same money or cheaper. (just be careful with makitas, they label basically their entire line as "quiet", but there's an easy 10dB variance between them. 70dB is not horrific, but it's nowhere near the 60 and under a true quiet compressor can achieve. )
home renovison guy said, at least twice, "high pressure low volume". at 02:28 and 13:37. is that correct?
Haha! The Combo Square..paint stick!
The best!
DIY that is exactly what I recommend to those people who want to save, learn and grow
DIY is a great way to go if you can't or don't want to afford a pro. Cheers!
Love the content. No respirator when spraying?
Thank you for the video. What kind of air compressor you using?
what kind of sprayer is that?
nice video jeff...please keep making more of it. 2 quick questions. a) is this sprayer dust free? I see you are not using mask and not sure if it is dust free. I plan to get a sprayer and was looking at something which can be dust free (or very less dust). Please suggest any if it is not dust free. b) You said the canadian company which is making cabinet door and said there is a link in the description. I dont see the link. I see only the C2paint which has more of paint products. Can you please suggest the cabinet doors making company link please? Appreciate all you do to the communutiy and keep up the great work. Kudos to you and your team.
Good starting point to elevate our DIY skills from just brush/roller. Oil based primers are really effective, but impossible to clean up. Do you have any tips on how to clean the air gun and skin after use? (similarly to how you taught us to clean the paint brushes from some of your early videos) As of right now, only able to just drown everything in mineral spirits...
there are many levels to oil based cleaners. I would suggest up your game to varsol for effective cleaning and then change out rubber gaskets. either way a 2 gun system from husky at such a low price means you have the option to toss the gun and forget ab out the cleanup and enjoy all the money you saved. Cheers!
For skin, use disposable nitrile gloves and an old long sleeve shirt.
What size air compressor are you using?
And you didn’t say one word about your pro stir stick! Lol
Good job!
I use whatever is handy. Cheers!
I learned a lot from you Jeff you are a good teacher, I wonder why you haven't yet invest with the airless sprayer like graco!, I paint my whole house with it, and I paint my cabinet and trims you should give it try.
I have great equipment for my personal use. in my videos I try to show the lower cost options for a 1 off so homeowners can have confidence to do it themselves.
So when you’re using that husky gun you have to wait for your compressor to recharge? Can you elaborate on that?
is there any spary gun called HPLV? I can only find LVLP or HVLP, or even LVMP, but no such thing called Low volume High pressure.
Im new to seeing this. Spraying thinned oil paint with no respirator?
Mixing paint and what nozzle number you use.
Great videos!
Do you have a link for the spray paint gun?
I know someone who put in the floors at the owner of the dewalt companies house. I wish i could tag him for you 😉
Can you add a tint to that order less oil based paint product you sprayed on at beginning?
@homerenovision: C2 isn't available for shipping to Canada. Wwhhaaaat paint do you recommend for us over here? Thanks 👍
I have a c2 dealer in ottawa. check with the c2 webpage for a dealer near you. in almost every case they will match the deal I am offering if you mention it. Cheers!
I just have a question. How do I know when the paint is dry on my door to be able to hang it back up without it sticking and pulling the paint off when the door is opened.
spray work dries incredibly fast. give it 1 hour and you will be fine. Cheers!
I’ve been contemplating buying the same spray-Gunn you’re using in this vid but I believe it states on the label to use at least a 30 gal tank. I have the Husky Quiet 20 gal. Will I have issues spraying small panels and small pieces in my shop with the 20 gal tank?
not at all. you just need to be more patient. i used a small trim compressor from dewalt. Cheers!
You can spray with just about any compressor. The tank size just determines how long you can spray before the compressor has to charge. A few minutes of wait time while the compressor recharges isn't a problem when spraying that type of product for kitchen cabinets and such. Fast drying, high gloss automotive painting requires a large compressor because you don't want any breaks when laying down a continuous wet surface from start to finish.
Please can you give us and updated version of vinyl floors. Please and thank you.
How did you spray the toe kick portion of the cabinet with the gravity fed gun? Or did you use brush?
What size tip would you recommend for this job? I am using benjmin moore advanced.
What's the compressor that you used?
A little bummed that you're not going to run the church through to completion. Totally get it though, it's more than just a small time commitment.
Great tutorial. What brand sander are you using in the vid?
I love your videos, watched so many! I am getting ready to paint my kitchen so got many tips today. Could I use an airless sprayer for this job or do you find a HPLV sprayer better for this?
Great vid. I’m not a painter or renovator 😂
You will be if you keep watching. Cheers!
