Spraying Larger Areas

Cabinet TOUCHUPS! The Art of Touch-Ups
What happens here
For larger blemishes on the face of a cabinet door that require more than a small dab, prepare the surface by sanding it thoroughly with a sanding block until the blemished area is smooth and level with the surrounding finish. After sanding, dust off any debris from the door. Place the sanded door on a spray turntable, such as the Paint Life Spray Twirly, which allows for easy rotation and access to all sides. Shake the custom-tinted lacquer spray can well to ensure proper mixing. Apply one even, thick coat of the lacquer, spraying horizontally. The horizontal position of the door on the turntable prevents runs. For safety, always wear a respirator when spraying, despite the video's demonstration.
Goal: Repair larger blemishes on a door face to a smooth finish.
