Thank you for including detailed tips like, "I only overlapped my passes by 50% to prevent drips and sags". Little things like this make a HUGE difference. I can't wait to try this project!
Very impressive! I love how thorough and detailed you are with your process!

Wow, very cool! I love the color too! I've never done high gloss. Looking at the prep, set up for spraying, x2 I wonder how much this piece of furniture sold for? Stunning! Katie Scott recommended your tutorials on high gloss painting
Wow! It’s gorgeous ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Just beautiful and I love the hardware!

Thank you 🙏🏼
DIVINE
Hello, greetings, your process is very detailed for those of us who do not know and want to start from scratch, thank you very much for teaching since I want to venture into this type of high gloss finishes in my painting company, greetings from Miami
Glad it was helpful!
That's a lot of work, but it's gorgeous! That is soo beautiful in that traditional/Chinoiserie styled room.
Dammit you put a lot of work into this piece . It shows! 💚 STUNNING💚💚💚
Looooooooove it, thank you!!!
Glad you like it!
Wow!
A cheap tent works great for a painting booth... also warming up high glass paint helps if you don't have fancy spray guns. And when I say warm I mean put the paint can in a bag and then put in a croack pot filled with water on low
Absolutely stunning! The wallpaper in the interior is the pièce de résistance. You are an artist. Thank you for such a comprehensive review and tutorial. ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️
this is lot of work good job but i can sugest one thing that can make this quicket i1- filler. 2- primair. 3- pain 4- clear cote polish....
You are an artist. Painstaking work on this. Have you ever seen or done a high gloss without removing the wood grain?
Thank you! Yes I’ve seen gloss paint jobs where the grain was not filled first and personally I think it looks awful lol. Just my opinion! I prefer a very smooth and grain-free high gloss look:) thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment❤️
@@KaylaPayne You’re welcome and Thank you also
Beautiful! Just wondered why you didn’t paint the inside of the doors?
I covered the inside with paper. Pics at the end of video!
If your spray area wasn't the best, then what do you recommend or do now? I would like to see an entire video on that topic. Thanks!
I still use this type of booth it’s not the best as in…this plastic booth can’t compare to a $30,000 down draft professional paint booth…thats what I meant when I said it’s not the best! I still recommend hanging plastic from ceiling, taping up all seams, puddling water on the floor. Doing this will be better than nothing:)
How much did it end up selling for and what were the direct material costs?
Thank you so much for this video. What product do you use to wipe down the piece, and are their different solutions for any of the steps ? This is my first time using fine paints. I think I’m retentive enough to pull it off. I plant to finish a few pieces of the scrap wood left over from the remodel of my piece. I wish you were near me.
To wipe down the surface before spraying I use Mineral spirits and a clean microfiber cloth.
I really have never seen anyone more talented and knowledgeable than you on CZcams. In fact it’s been years since I’ve seen that degree of talent! I remember seeing some people on HGTV back in the 90’s doing something like this and they were high paid experts. I can’t remember the show right now. Maybe the furniture guys out of Philadelphia…
Also the quality of that paint is extraordinary!!! I haven’t seen paint like that since I painted my claw foot bathtub Kelly Green in an alkyd based oil paint. That stuff was great!
There’s nothing available anymore that’s not latex, low VOC… I mean I get it it’s more eco friendly but it’s garbage!!! I painted with a glaze my patio furniture recently and all I could get (at Home Depot/Lowe’s) was latex junk! My mom used to get this nice oil base for her patio furniture back in the 90’s and it’s just not available!!! I didn’t need to paint my furniture back then- had I known!!! It’s hard to find glazes too! I had to make my own with two parts gloss to one part paint. It’s holding up ok on my patio furniture but the chairs that baked on the sun most of this summer have started to peel! What the heck. You know , all that work and immaculate prep and application and it goes to crap.
I’m totally checking out the products you recommended. Keep up the AWESOME work! I’m very very impressed and that’s hard to do with me. I read a lot of books, showing my age lol, but that’s all we had! I’ve been restoring furniture for almost 30 years as a hobby. My dad is a cabinet maker by trade and he’s always commenting on my work. It’s a lot to live up to him! But you’d blow him away!!!
Thanks so much for your kind and thoughtful reply! Glad to have you here❤️ xo
What grit sandpaper did you use between the 1st and second coat of green? You mentioned 'high grit sandpaper' but I was hoping to get an actual number. Thanks! Beautiful work.
600!
Awesome 👌, you dont make a final clear laquer for protection or no need? Thank you 🙏
Thanks:) no clear lacquer needed on top of oil enamel:)
Really nice! 👍 does this paint clean off fingerprints really easy without harming the paint job?
Absolutely!
Would it be possible to use humidifier few hours before starting paint in closed tent to keep the dust down? I can’t flood my house like this. If you can share your opinion, thank you! Your product rocks!!
A humidifier won’t help. If you could construct a plastic booth and plastic the floor, then you could soak bath towels and lay them on the floor. That would help moreso than nothing at all.
Hey love your videos they are so detailed! I got a great piece I’m going to attempt to do myself but not really interested in buying a gun as I won’t be doing more afterwards do you have any pieces you’ve done with brushes? Would it be okay if I got everything else you recommended and then apply with brushes? I’m nervous because I haven’t seen any videos of people doing this technique without a gun
Yes this paint can be brushed for sure. A sprayer is not required for application. I won't tell you that it's easy to brush...it's quite tricky and there's a steep learning curve, but it can be done!
You might take a peek at this blog post I wrote that lists my 12 Best Tips for Using Hollandlac Brilliant - www.paintedbykaylapayne.com/best-tips-for-using-fine-paints-of-europe/
what type compressor u use
Hey. Lovely job. When you paper the insides what product do you use to protect the paper? Thanks in advance.
Here I used Mod Podge
How would you paint a bathroom cabinet that can’t be removed from the bathroom?
Hi Kayla. This is such a great video. I Can see that green paint is very glossy and like glass. Is this the best paint to get the “LIKE GLASS “finish or do you recommend another one? I did get the name of the green paint since I am learnings English. Thanks
This paint is great for the high gloss look, but to make it smooth and flat like glass, it's all in the surface preperation.
What mix ratio do you use?
Hi love your pieces, can you tell me at what pressure do you spray with your guns. Thank Suzette
The regulator at my gun is set to 40psi
If I were to order this paint, how much would I need? I see different options on the website.
Hi..your work is beautiful! I wanted to build a beginner spray assembly as you described with the Devilbiss Conventional Gravity Gun, Fluid Tip #4 and Disposable Paint Cups. However; the Adaptor 16046 has been discontinued. I can't determine which other adaptor I should get for this gun and cups? Any suggestions? Thank you
Yes, look at the chart on this site. Find your gun, and it will tell you which adapter is needed!
multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1451272O/pps-2-0-spray-cup-system-part-number-reference-guide.pdf
Got it..thank you! @@KaylaPayne
Are they soft close?
what was your ratio to dilute the paint? Great video
It’s been too long ago, I can’t remember exactly….but would’ve likely been between 20-30%
عمل رائع جداً
Hi there. I have a question about your technique of pouring water all over the floor so you can paint a high gloss without dust. Do you stand on the watered floor? Is it possible to get an electric shock while using your spray paint or sanding?
I do stand in the puddled water, yes. My spray gun is pneumatic, not electric so I don’t have any electrified hoses laying in the water.
As for sanding, I mostly do that outside of my spray booth! If at all possible, I take the furniture out of the plastic booth and sand it everywhere to keep dust out of the booth.
What do you think about adding varnish to your finish?
Well...I've got my spray gun, adaptor and the whole set up you recommended. You mentioned in the video the importance of the air compressor. I have done a lot of research and am finding it difficult to decide. Seems at a minimum 20G tank. Reviews for the 20G Stealth PRO were good; however, the on-line graphic for this compressor says it works "Intermittently" for DIY paint sprayers. Might I bother you for an additional tip on compressor for FPE products? Thank you !!
What’s your max budget to spend on one?
Oh..$600.00ish. However; if you told me that I should be thinking $750.00-$1,000.00 for the type compressor that is needed to achieve the results you are training us for then I would have to save up a little more to follow that advise.
@@KaylaPayne
Hi,
Did you have any brand recommendations for the compressor? I’ll take your advice as far as purchasing as much CFM as I can with a $600.00 budget. Just curious of the brand you would recommend. Thank you.
I just watched your video again. I have a pice I’m working on and would love to know where you got those beautiful pulls. They are so unique and either those or something similar from that company would make my cabinet pop.
Another thing is I ended up getting several French Provincial pieces because they were free or so cheap I couldn’t say no. It’s not my favorite style but I do make them look beautiful and that’s what counts. I don’t feel that gorgeous high gloss green would look good on them. Do you think it would be good on 2 night stands if I can find some? Do you mind sharing the color you used?
The hardware is from Modern Matter. The green is called Bottle Green by Fine Paints Of Europe.
Thank you. I haven’t heard of that line of paint. It sounds like it’s in Europe. I will check the pills on line. Thanks again.
It’s imported to the US from the Netherlands. The General Office is located in Vermont. You can order it directly from the Fine Paints website
If you don't have the ideal space to use the gun, can a roller be used?
I’d recommend brushing instead of rolling, but yes - a paint gun doesn’t have to be used
Hey Kayla, have you used soda blasting to get the old finish off furniture? I think your compressor CFM can handle it..
I have, yes. I’ve never really thought seriously about looking into one.
@@KaylaPayne I need to upgrade my Compressor, I used a fine soda powder it worked great, but my compressor couldn’t cope with the it..
Do you ever seal or clear coat over this paint?
No never. It would be completely unnecessary
What does sanding between the first and second coats of paint do? It seems like an unnecessary step?
Deanna - it builds a solid base of product and color for subsequent coats.
I realize it may seem unnecessary. And truth be told, you don't HAVE to sand between paint coats one and two.
Generally speaking, a paint failure won't happen if you apply your 2nd coat of paint (within a reasonable time frame) without sanding the 1st coat.
BUT...to achieve the best results possible, sanding that 1st paint coat is needed. We've all heard "it's in the prep" a million times, right?
Well THIS is what that saying means when it comes to gloss finishes!
Thanks for your comment Deanna!
Hey what was that product you used in the green paint ? Z
Mineral spirits
Was a top coat needed?
Nope
Wow, it has an Asian inspired look to it, will this same technique work on guitar bodies?
Hi Drew's mom
There's a little orange peel effect and ripples but good job overall!
Yes, I did this piece about 5 years ago, and I've since upgraded to a much better quality gun :) Thanks
Would you do a consult with me?!
Hey Teri, I know this comment is a few months old. Sorry for my delay.
In the past I’ve not been set up to do consults, but I’m setting it up now. Should be ready to schedule very soon.
If you’re still interested let me know and I’ll post a link for booking. Thank you:)
I was thinking about what to say, so I settled for: Marry me and have my carpenter children.
🤣🤣🤣
At every sanding stage you mentioned the number grit sandpaper. EXCEPT when you sanded after the first coat of green finish. Then you said you used a high grit sandpaper ,,, ? Why not tell us the grit number at that step ? “ High grit “is not a number.
I didn’t even realize I did that…nor was it on purpose. If you wanted to know what it was…it would’ve been super easy to simply ask me in a respectful way.
@@KaylaPayne I apologize if I seemed “ not nice” I did not mean it that way. Please forgive me
I appreciate and accept your apology. Sanding between paint coats, I’ll typically use 600 or 800. I have the best luck with automotive abrasives - 3M is what I prefer.
Why did you decide not to use bondo to fill in the router detail on the top piece?
Two part bondo dries too quickly for what I needed here. It would’ve worked fine, but I didn’t want to mix up several batches.
