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.

right here. We've got a door face. And this door face right here had some blemishes on it. And we're going to instead of, you know, dobbing or touching it up, we're going to have to sand it. And then we're going to have to reshoot it. So, I'm going to show you. Zach's got the spray can of lacquer. We've already sanded it and it's looking pretty good. Just a final sand. We're going to dust this thing off and then we'll set it on our spray twirly right here from Paint Line. And this thing is really cool because we can just spin this thing around and shoot all four sides of this thing and all four edges of it. But the spray can works really well for this. So you go ahead and spray that there, Z. And this is really just the perfect situation. We're going to have to touch this up anyway. And instead of going through the whole process of setting up an HVLP, we're just going to take this bomb can that we already have laying at the job site or in this case in the academy and we're going to go ahead and spray this really quick. So it's the exact same color. You're probably just going to hit it one coat. One nice thick coat. Yeah, one one coat on this. Don't have to worry about running because it's sitting here on this spray twite here. It's um sitting face down and it's not hanging. So, go ahead and spray that. There's that. You typically be wearing a respirator doing this, but for purposes of this video so we can talk and work at the same time, we're not using a respirator, but always wear a respirator. So, that's looking pretty good in that light right there. I'm liking that. So, we're going to let that set. If we needed to recoat it, we can recote it in about 5 minutes cuz it's a lacquer. So, there's a couple scenarios. We're going to, you know, a couple scenarios with um spraying. So, we just sprayed this one. I'm going to set it aside. So, we have
