Definitely liked that finish with the black in the grain. I’m rewinding the video to get to that part again since I am in the process of doing this at home, so might add that step in between!
You just answered every question I've had for 3 years about my oak kitchen cabinet possibilities. Thank you so much for including all steps and making it simple. I want to strip varnish in motion cabinets for natural look and paint top ones lite paint. Now I know exactly how to do that!
It is stunning! Thank you Konstantin for such an amazing video! If there was a list of those products that you used or recommended in the video description or in the comment that would be awesome!
Thanks for the comment! I used Envirolak single component primer and the CIC single component polyurethane topcoat and I also used Milesi water based glaze
I like the process you showed very clearly and one thing I learned is if I wanted to make something using the white and grain...i would not use the black pigment since it is a strong contrast.. but rather a medium gray pigment maybe and i think that will give the cabinets a beautiful and subtle antique look! Thanks again dude
I have ugly oak cabinets. Thank you for acknowledging that not everyone has professional equipment. This process is definitely suitable for DIY. I think I will be doing the white color on mine. Appreciate the video I will use this as a reference.
I really like how that navy turned out. I just might do something like this in the new house we are building, so tired of all the same old white cabinets I do for everyone.
I like to grain fill oak using aquacoat. The grain filling gives you a very smooth finish. It will never look like clear maple, but it will look very updated, and you'll only know it's a refinished oak cabinet when you are really up close because the grain does not pop out.
@KonstantinUdalov I don't know ow what you mean by brutally filled. Aqua Coat is very thin. You apply it and then sand it. It closes the pores of the oak and help build up between ridges. When you spray over the filled door, it looks very smooth. I did this in my old house. I could have purchased maple doors for $40 each or just put in a little work to keep the doors out of the landfill. Quite honestly, it's about the time and effort you are willing to put in.
@@A-ph7hf wooden doors can be recycled not thrown in the garbage . time/vs money it's probably the same +/- but new shakers maple or mdf are made to be smooth. Oak is oak.
@smon8497 so aquaculture fills the pores so that you get paint that lays flat where there is grain. It is not a brutal fill. It is applied with a thin flexible piece of plastic. Try it some time. It will give you the professional results you aren't achieving because your preparation is lacking.
Great video. I've watched a ton of these in preparation for attempting this process, and the one bit of advice that stands out in this video is to have a finished control piece next to your work pieces to help ensure a consistent look.
Great video Konstantin. The blue cabinet color with the black came out really nice. The white was not really my taste but if I could recommend you show the cabinets facing directly the camera lens instead of at an angle and maybe much closer so the effect is even more pronounced. Thanks for the great video!
What about krud cutter? I think that’s what it’s called? For cleaning off tacky mess and grease. Also this was a super helpful video. I’ve been wondering if I am hiding the grain when I paint the oak cabinets in my kitchen. I feel confident in letting that grain pop 🥰
It was blue navy as far as I remember. For the primer I used envirolak t 9000. For the topcoat I used Cic satin sheen single component polyurethane water-Born . And it was was Milesi glaze.
Awesome video Konstantin, question for you: are you sanding off the glaze after it has dried or immediately after application? and what is the abrasive you are using? Thanks.
The dry erase glaze is very easy to while off / sand off - and it flashes / dries momentarily. I usually use soft flexible sponge or scotch pad (aluminum oxide felt like abrasive) it really depends of how much and which way you want to remove it - the look that you’re going after. You can try and see what you like most, but like I said dry glaze is super easy to remove
You’re most welcome, hope you enjoy the process, let me know if you have any questions, follow me on Instagram and send me questions if you have any along the process
Ибрагим привет. Спасибо! На водной основе - полеуретан 1 компонент. Можно впринципе любой бренд какой у вас локально доступен - главное чтобы полеуретан ☺️✅
There are tons of videos like this on how to convert oak cabinets to plain dull gray. I'm trying to find how to reverse that process, restoring the golden oak's shining glory with wood grain visible. The grey paint is so deep in the pores that even intensive sanding wouldn't remove its residue. Is there any better solution than using a table wood planer and shaving off a millimeter or so of the surface or replacing entire cabinets?
Question, I hope u respond. This will be my first project. For the paints/coats, any polyurethane single component will work correct? As far as prime, do I have to mix the zinser shellac with water if I can’t find the envirolac or COC one, or is that primer already to go? Also is the unicorn brand at Walmart ok for the glaze? Sorry for all the questions I’m so nervous but IM DOING THIS! Thank you!!!
Unicorn at Walmart is not good. Shellac is ok but you’d need to spray it. No water - shellac BIN is alcohol based (add methyl hydrate to thin it down) - again - no brush only spray if using Bin shellac
I did mine and it didnt turn out as i wanted obviusly different materials....now waching you doing the whole process i feel that i should do it again by follow the steps that you just explain......wish me luck and thanks for sharing tge information.....
That is a heck of a lot of work.... I'm in deep dodo because I have 150 drawers and doors to do, plus all the cabinets themselves... what are your thoughts about sandblasting the cabinets but using soda? The sand gun is cheap, you can rent a compressor and it will get in every knock and cranny??? What are your thoughts???
Hi Konstantin , thanks for your information of how to finish old cabinets doors , they look beautiful Can you please show us how to get rid of the wood grain on the cabinet doors to make it smooth and flat . I really do appreciate if you do so , thanks!
Hey buddy. From my experience it’s not the best to do so. - if you really need to get rid of the grain - I’d replace the doors with new smooth mdf doors and fill the grain on the cabinet boxes (just apply grain filler or wipe on white filler and sand flat )
I always add the hardener . But we have the whole Idustrial set up with the spray booth and air mask. For home use I would recommend using 2 component products due to the safety concerns
Hi Giselia 😊👋 love your comment ! Honestly I would replace doors on all the oak kitchens with new mdf doors . But this technique is something that very few people are obsessed with . So I tried to help them with the tips and tricks I got on this
what about maple cabinets that are smooth (from the late 90's), they are a light maple color. do you have a video on how to get them updated? And also, is this video still up to date? Or has this white and blue with the oak wood-grain showing gone away by now (11 months later), or would I still be good to get my smooth maple cabinets changed to these colors, and would that still be good in Sept. 2023? Thanks so much!!! SUBSCRIBED !!!!!!
Thank you for the comment :-) this colour trend is still there, however, on maple cabinets being very smooth, this green piping technique wouldn’t work, for smooth maple I would just go with plain colour like blue, gray or white
Very nice! Just a question, is the ceruse look done only on doors, or is it done on side of the cabinets and trims around the door. Also, I noticed that sides and trims have less grainy look compared to doors.
It would definitely work on the frames as well. My rails have less grain either because I worked less with the wire brush or it’s just the rails had less grain in it
очень красиво! нереально круто! можете пожалуйста посоветовать метод и бренд краски которая лучше всего в «носке» я много готовлю и соответственно часто мою кабинеты. Спасибо! У вас золотые руки!
☺️🙌 бренд я бы полюсоветовал любой 2 component polyurethane. Почти во всех более менее крупных городах есть дистрибьютеры. Бренды . Cic centurion , Sirca, envirolak, Renner, Milesi, sivam, Ica
Great video demonstrating differences, techniques and contrasts! The blue cabinet was amazing after the cerusing? Spell 😅. I needed guidance as I'm planning on painting my oak cabinets as well. I considered a tan wash vs tan paint, any suggestions? Thanks again for this very informative video! New subscriber here 😊.
Hello and welcome 🤓👋 are you Debbie ? Thanks for the kind words! Sorry I’m not sure what tan wash or tan paint means . We’ll be happy to give you some suggestions
@@KonstantinUdalov Yes, Deb or Debbie. That's ok, its mixing paint with water, painting on then wiping back. The paint left behind allows grain to show with some color. Same as whitewash, pickling, I think. Tan paint is just painting with a tan colored paint. That you showed with a different color. . Thanks for the reply! 😊
@@KonstantinUdalov I mean instead of paint use a stain and then try the paint or glaze for the grain filler. Bella Renovare UA-cam channel has one she did on a dining table. But I was hoping you could try a stain first, then paint or liming wax.
1) What’s a replacement for a professional blower? Can I use a wet rag and dry rag? 2) what about the other side? Do you do all the coats on one then the other, or a coat on each side with dry time in between?
This particular one is made for sanding. Very easy to sand. But there’s an oil like glaze - that one you can wipe off. I’m not a fan of those because of the adhesion problem that it creates. When you wipe off you can’t really sand after - if you do you can make the wiped off gaze disappear , but with the sand off glaze you create a good sanded surface ready to accept next layer (clear coat)
Hello there. How long should I wait till the primer fully settle? I primed my cabinets (with prior wash and send) but looks like some spots are pealing and scratched. it is been just 7 hours before test. best regards.
@@KonstantinUdalov Hello. That was my bad, and now the problem is solved. I started to use INSEL-X Prime ALL primer but discovered that my kitchen is a hybrid :-). Two sides of the cabinets were laminate, not wood like all kitchen cabinets. The primer did not adhere to the laminate and started to peel. I already upgraded it to the STIX and Alléluia, all looks good now. my next step to send, second prime, to send... and so on. Thanks a lot. PS: Love your channel and subscribed.
We have kitchen cabinets that are about 20 years old that were updated installed by previous owner. The cabinets are higher end and structures are good condition and have some sort of baked on paint, very smooth. But it is chipping off and is a hideous plum color. I have no idea how well this will work. I hate to make a mess and then just have to buy all new cabinets in the end.
Hi Graph. Ig the doors are smooth - this technique won't work. I'd suggest getting new doors and repainting the body of the cabinets - it'd be a lot less than new cabinets
Thanks for your video. A lot of people are now redoing their kitchens this way. It's becoming more popular. Noticed there's a few disapproving trolls. Allow people to redecorate as they wish. Be kinder.
@@KonstantinUdalov I think that is realistic. I just priced one for a few bucks less, but included painting the insides of the cupboards as well. Keep up the great work.
These finished cabinet doors look beautiful. I am curious to see what the finished cabinet base looks like; do you have a photo of the doors attached to the finished cabinet base? Question: Why did you spray the navy color and brush paint the white?
Hey Robin ☺️🙌🤝 photos of the frames no - but it looks absolutely the same. The reasons why I sprayed on the blue door is to show that there’s no difference with brushing technique using these materials
Great video! Thanks! Quick question - what sheen did you use on th ebase color? I have heard that if the base sheen is flat or eggshell you would need a topcoat with a satin or better sheen before glazing. What are your thoughts? Also, what grit sandpaper did you use to remove the glaze?
I’d suggest a higher sheen for the base colour: I used 20. Top coat sheen doesn’t effect anything. Just your preference. I like 10 sheen. 20 or 5 is good too, to remove the glaze I used 220 or fine sponge
Primer was Envirolak 1 component polyurethane primer . Top coat was centurion cic polyurethane 1 component. And glaze was from Milesi . Clear top coat envirolak 1 component clear poly
Would this work out with slab cabinets w/ beveled edge? Mine were painted white and hate it and this looks easier than stripping/staining them. They are the cheap wood cabinets but want to refinish until we can replace them.
Hey, great video. Would you be so kind as to provide some additional information, please? I live in Canada and have been trying to purchase glaze for my cerusing project, but it's no longer available. Also, the only glaze I'm familiar with is difficult to work with for cerusing anyway. I'm wondering what product you used exactly? Your black spray-able material looked very good. Appreciate your response.
Hey J . absolutely! =) We have richelue in canada that has ICA waterbased glaze and any colour CNL pigments. - you get the glaze (or aging agent - they call it ) and any colourant you need ( CNL waterbased ICA) mix it together and there you go. Also depending on where exaclty in Canada you live - there's other polyurethane distributers that must have the dry glaze in stock
...did not understand him that well, is this a steel brush at the beginning, if yes, probably a soft version ? it's a pitty he does not show the result on better close up.
Hi Sinsua ☺️👋 I tried my best to chow the close up at the end . Yes that was a wire brush. - it helps in making the grain more open and have more definition after
This is awesome. Questions: we painted our cabinets ages ago. We can see there's grain, but we aren't sure they're oak. Does it matter? Also, do we do the same process for the boxes and panels? Thanks for such a detailed video. One last Q: do you have a preferred stripping method for DIYers?
Hey there ☺️👋 if there’s nice deep grain that should work even if it’s not oak. Stripping is tricky . Very harmful stuff. For diy I wouldn’t recommend it at all. In the shop we use “aircraft stripper”
@@KonstantinUdalov we haven't started yet, just making our game plan. It's semigloss on sanded cabinets. I wish we could hire you to come to California!!
Definitely liked that finish with the black in the grain. I’m rewinding the video to get to that part again since I am in the process of doing this at home, so might add that step in between!
☺️🙌👏👏👏
The blue with black grains looks amazing
I agree Jackster 🤫🤙🤝
Very nice, you made my decision for my finish, love the blue with black.
Thank you for the consideration to us, people who not are professionals and try to keep it on a budget.

This made my day Paul 😊🙌🤝 glad my videos help🙌
The new grain color on blue look super cool, i rather fill my oak and get a smooth finish but its nice to have options.
If you like filled look better mdf or new maple doors is a more cost effective option
Great video Konstantin. The blue cabinet color with the black came out really nice. The white was not really my taste but if I could recommend you show the cabinets facing directly the camera lens instead of at an angle and maybe much closer so the effect is even more pronounced. Thanks for the great video!

Beautiful! I'm wondering if I can do that with Knotty Pine?
Unfortunately it wouldn’t be the same look, the grain of the pine is different not as open and defined as of the oak
Bravo! Mind sharing the name of the blue paint color (and brand) you used? I'd love to do this to our 1985 golden oak cabinets. Thanks
🙌☺️🤝 this particular one was Navy blue from Ben Moore
Perfect job. Thank you!
☺️🙌🙌🙌❤️
Awesome results! Yours is my favorite from all the videos I watched. Could you list the products in the description? Unfamiliar names here in Florida.
Just Google bro: distributor of CIC , Envirolak.
You’ll fine somebody local or close to you so they can ship quickly
What about krud cutter? I think that’s what it’s called? For cleaning off tacky mess and grease. Also this was a super helpful video. I’ve been wondering if I am hiding the grain when I paint the oak cabinets in my kitchen. I feel confident in letting that grain pop 🥰
Just keep the paint thin and it’ll keep the grain open when paint dries
Beautiful job! What color blue? And what brands of paints and glaze did you use. Thank you
It was blue navy as far as I remember. For the primer I used envirolak t 9000. For the topcoat I used Cic satin sheen single component polyurethane water-Born . And it was was Milesi glaze.
Just beautiful ❤️! I don't think my free cabnets are oak can I still do this on them?
I think so. But the one grain definitely helps
I painted my mismatched oak cabinets blue; it hides both tomato sauce and coffee drip stains.
Black wrought iron hardware goes quite nicely with this.
Good stuff ☺️👊🤙

Sides would have less grain because is not real wood
It’s real wood all around 😄 I just might’ve made a bit less wire brush work
It would definitely work on the frames as well.
My rails have less grain either because I worked less with the wire brush or it’s just the rails had less grain in it

So there's no need to strip the old lacquer before beginning the cerusing process?
Not really . All that’s needed is good bite - and we achieve that with aggressive sanding

Yep I’d say so
Can I add white glaze to blue and if I don't like it change to black without doing the whole process again?
Sure . If you still see the deep grain - absolutely
1) What’s a replacement for a professional blower? Can I use a wet rag and dry rag?
2) what about the other side? Do you do all the coats on one then the other, or a coat on each side with dry time in between?

I already upgraded it to the STIX and Alléluia, all looks good now. my next step to send, second prime, to send... and so on.
Thanks a lot.
PS: Love your channel and subscribed.
We have kitchen cabinets that are about 20 years old that were updated installed by previous owner. The cabinets are higher end and structures are good condition and have some sort of baked on paint, very smooth. But it is chipping off and is a hideous plum color.
I have no idea how well this will work. I hate to make a mess and then just have to buy all new cabinets in the end.
Hi Graph. Ig the doors are smooth - this technique won't work. I'd suggest getting new doors and repainting the body of the cabinets - it'd be a lot less than new cabinets
Great examples! Refinishing oak cabinets is a major pain in the ass. What is that oven looking thing behind you?
Hey mate ☺️🤝🙌 it’s an automated sanding machines. We like spraying but not sanding. I have a video about it
Looks great!
Thanks!
Wonder if it will work with milk paint as the base paint.
Absolutely. There’s no limits in colour combinations 🤙☺️
Are we supposed to let the Gel dry and sand it or just put it on let it sit for a few minutes then wipe it off
Hey brother . Depending on the type of glaze you use. What type / brand do you use ?
I may have missed this in the tutorial. Any specific things to keep in mind on the type of paint to use after using the primer?
1 component polyurethane is the best.
Any brand you can find in your area. My best are: sivam, Sirca, envirolak, cic, Ica, Milesi, il a, Renner.
Wicked! Nice work, man.
Thanks brother! ☺️🤝🤙
Thanks for your video. A lot of people are now redoing their kitchens this way. It's becoming more popular. Noticed there's a few disapproving trolls. Allow people to redecorate as they wish. Be kinder.
You are right! 🙌🤝☺️
Great video Thanks. Please take more time to say the product names, or list them in the video subtitles. Thanks again..
Absolutely. Those were : Envirolak t9000, Cic top coat satin sheen. All 1 k polyurethanes .
How much would you charge a client per door?
For this type of finish - 60-80$ per door
what happened to the blue and white doors?
Sorry what do you mean ?
How many hours do you think you had in that project?
Our average glaze kitchen with 30 doors and drawers take 4 man days in the shop and 5 man days on site
@@KonstantinUdalov I think that is realistic. I just priced one for a few bucks less, but included painting the insides of the cupboards as well. Keep up the great work.
one more quesstion, is the blue top coat is infact a paint coat or is this the protective clear top coat?
The blue paint is step 2 (after primer) step 3 is glaze and step 4 clear coat to lock the glaze down
Thank you @@KonstantinUdalov
HI! well done.
Thank you! Cheers!🍻
These finished cabinet doors look beautiful. I am curious to see what the finished cabinet base looks like; do you have a photo of the doors attached to the finished cabinet base?
Question: Why did you spray the navy color and brush paint the white?
Hey Robin ☺️🙌🤝 photos of the frames no - but it looks absolutely the same. The reasons why I sprayed on the blue door is to show that there’s no difference with brushing technique using these materials
What is the name of the blue color?
It’s hc-154 hale navy ☺️👌✅
Is there a way to get a less glossy appearance?
For sure . Just use a lower sheen top coat 👌☺️
Great video! Thanks! Quick question - what sheen did you use on th ebase color? I have heard that if the base sheen is flat or eggshell you would need a topcoat with a satin or better sheen before glazing. What are your thoughts? Also, what grit sandpaper did you use to remove the glaze?
I’d suggest a higher sheen for the base colour: I used 20. Top coat sheen doesn’t effect anything. Just your preference. I like 10 sheen. 20 or 5 is good too, to remove the glaze I used 220 or fine sponge
What paint and glaze brand did you use ?
Primer was Envirolak 1 component polyurethane primer . Top coat was centurion cic polyurethane 1 component. And glaze was from Milesi . Clear top coat envirolak 1 component clear poly
Would this work out with slab cabinets w/ beveled edge? Mine were painted white and hate it and this looks easier than stripping/staining them. They are the cheap wood cabinets but want to refinish until we can replace them.
If they are made out of oak - than this technique is possible. If not - I’d recommend to replace it .
Hey, great video.
Would you be so kind as to provide some additional information, please?
I live in Canada and have been trying to purchase glaze for my cerusing project, but it's no longer available. Also, the only glaze I'm familiar with is difficult to work with for cerusing anyway. I'm wondering what product you used exactly? Your black spray-able material looked very good.
Appreciate your response.
Hey J . absolutely! =) We have richelue in canada that has ICA waterbased glaze and any colour CNL pigments. - you get the glaze (or aging agent - they call it ) and any colourant you need ( CNL waterbased ICA) mix it together and there you go. Also depending on where exaclty in Canada you live - there's other polyurethane distributers that must have the dry glaze in stock
Great video. Good info. Thanks!
☺️🙌 glad it helps
Are you able to do the black in the same color as the cabinet and end up with a smooth finish or would you still be seeing the grain?
Hi Luke. Not sure what you mean.
Do you want to make oak doors look smooth with no grain ?
@@KonstantinUdalov correct. Make them look smooth with no grain
...did not understand him that well, is this a steel brush at the beginning, if yes, probably a soft version ? it's a pitty he does not show the result on better close up.
Hi Sinsua ☺️👋
I tried my best to chow the close up at the end . Yes that was a wire brush. - it helps in making the grain more open and have more definition after
This is awesome. Questions: we painted our cabinets ages ago. We can see there's grain, but we aren't sure they're oak. Does it matter? Also, do we do the same process for the boxes and panels? Thanks for such a detailed video. One last Q: do you have a preferred stripping method for DIYers?
Hey there ☺️👋 if there’s nice deep grain that should work even if it’s not oak.
Stripping is tricky . Very harmful stuff. For diy I wouldn’t recommend it at all.
In the shop we use “aircraft stripper”
@@KonstantinUdalov thanks. Should we just sand the old paint off instead of stripping it?
@@cs9134 I'd say so. Is the paint hard ? or it gumms up ?
@@KonstantinUdalov we haven't started yet, just making our game plan. It's semigloss on sanded cabinets. I wish we could hire you to come to California!!
@@cs9134 if it's not soft but hard and holding up nicely - glaze and clear should go over no problem
Can I do this paint skill (change color ) on the cabinet door which has a thin wood layer glued on the surface ?
Maybe- depends on many factors
How much water to primer
I usually put ~ 5-10% to slow it down
Would "Java Brown Cabinet Decorative Glaze" from Home Depot work as a glazing paint?
Im not sure my friend . I’m not familiar with that Home Depot product
what is that giant machine behind you?
Brush sanding machine 😍🤓
