How To Paint Or Refinish Kitchen Cabinet Doors. Cabinet Painting Hacks.

What happens here

Prepare cabinet doors and drawers by drilling small pilot holes into an inconspicuous edge, typically the top or bottom, where any touch-ups won't be visible after reinstallation. Use a 3/32 inch drill bit for this. Screw 1-inch cup hooks into these pilot holes to create hanging points. For drawer fronts, a wooden hanger with swivel hooks can be used, attaching the drawer front to the hanger via the drilled hooks. Additionally, assemble a simple, portable rack from 1-inch PVC pipe with couplings. This rack will be used to hold individual doors or drawers for spraying.

Goal: Equip cabinet components for handling and spraying, and set up a mobile spray stand.

Install our hooks on our doors so we can hang them and begin spraying them. Here's this is our spray booth. We've got our little opening that will be passing it out into the kitchen. Here's some of the doors. The sprayer is set up outside of our spray booth so it doesn't get contaminated and the filter doesn't get too clogged. And then we're going to be passing and walking the doors out of the kitchen to the other side of this wall and hanging them on our hanger. So you can see everything's
