Painting Wood Cabinet Doors with an Airless Sprayer. Getting A Professional Glossy Finish!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

With the doors clean and the spray booth ready, apply the first coat of water-based PU (seal coat) to the backs of the cabinet doors. The presenter emphasizes painting the backs first, as any minor imperfections during the initial coat can be hidden. Use a cross-hatching technique (spraying horizontally then vertically) to ensure thorough and even coverage of the entire surface. Wear a respirator for safety.

Goal: Apply an even seal coat to the less visible side of the doors.

  • Airless Sprayer Titan 440 Impact — Applying the paint
  • Cabinet Doors — The items being painted
