How to paint oak cabinets FAST/EASY

What happens here

With all safety gear on, prepare the catalyzed pigmented lacquer by pouring it into the HVLP spray gun's paint pot. Ensure the lacquer is mixed thoroughly and has the correct viscosity for spraying. Hang the cabinet doors in the designated spray area (which should be well-ventilated with fans). Apply the first top coat to both the cabinet doors and face frames. Use consistent, overlapping passes to achieve a uniform color and smooth finish. Allow ample drying time as recommended by the lacquer manufacturer.

Goal: Apply the first layer of the final colored finish.
