How to Spray Flawless Kitchen Cabinets | Pro Finish with Apollo HVLP Sprayer
What happens here
Before painting, properly prepare both the workpiece and the spraying environment. Begin by thoroughly wiping down the cabinet door with a microfiber cloth to ensure a dust-free surface. Set up a dedicated spray booth or a temporary enclosed area using plastic sheeting, which helps contain overspray and keeps the air clean. Use a hanging system, such as a custom-built rack, to suspend the cabinet doors, allowing for easy access to all sides and efficient vertical spraying. Ensure proper ventilation within the spray area, and consider the learning curve associated with vertical spraying. The presenter shares his personal experience of fixing initial runs by sanding and re-shooting, emphasizing that imperfections are correctable with the right products and techniques.
Goal: Create a clean, contained, and well-organized environment for spraying, and ensure the workpiece is free of contaminants.
