How To Lacquer Cabinets. Spraying Lacquer On Cabinets (airless sprayer)

What happens here

Before applying any lacquer, meticulously mask and cover all surrounding surfaces to protect them from overspray. This includes covering walls, inside the cabinets, countertops, and floors. Use a 3M hand masker with 20-inch wide tape and 9-inch paper for general masking, and 3M masking film (9x400 plastic film is shown) for larger areas like appliances and open spaces. Drop cloths are laid on the floor, often in multiple layers, to prevent overspray from damaging the flooring. Inside the cabinet frames, paper is used to cover the interior walls and drawer guides to protect them from lacquer, especially important for moving parts. Ensure all areas are completely sealed.

Goal: Protect all non-cabinet surfaces from overspray
