I am afraid to show this video to my wife because I am sure it will inspire her to make me do it. 😀
When I was young, I did sanding by hand. Now that I’m a senior citizen, I use power tools. Life is easier & I’m loving it fully.
Thank you, April.
Great tip on nails in scrap as paint stands. One variation on this I've used is to put nails (or screws) into long skinny strips of scrap, then cap the top rails of my saw horses with them, screwing or clamping the pieces to the horses. Longer pieces can even extend the length of the horses (as in an 8 ft piece extending a 4 ft horse 2 ft in each direction), which can then be places as far apart as needed for painting longer projects.
And I also agree with you about paying extra for better paint. In fact, it's worth it to get 'trim and cabinet' paint for this job. It dries faster and cures harder, which is worth it where painted pieces like doors, drawer fronts and face frames touch each other (nothing worse than cheap paint that can stay sticky for weeks pulling off the wood as it transfers over to the other painted surface).
Pro painter here. We do 20-30 sets of kitchen cabs per year. A lot of good advice here, but she does make it look a lot simpler than it actually is.
I never recommend a homeowner doing their own kitchen cabs. Way too much work and your kitchen will likely be down for 2 or 3 weeks. Even with professional tools, we usually can't get them done in less than 5 days. However, a small bath vanity is perfect if you want to tackle it yourself. The sprayer that she recommended is the exact one that I recommend to anyone wanting to DIY. Just make sure you keep it clean.
And for a top coat (she didn't mention a brand) we use PPG Breakthrough V50 or Benjamin Moore Command. We typically do both in satin finish. I wouldn't recommend higher gloss because the higher the gloss the more it shows imperfections. Just don't use a flat finish and you'll be fine as long as you use something that is rated for cabinetry.
Edit: Please don't use a roller of any type anywhere on cabinets. If you're only painting the face frames and not the interior of them, use a small 2" or 2.5" sash brush. Make sure it's a nice, soft brush. A roller can't achieve the finish that a brush or spraying can and it's going to look like dog doo the minute light hits it.
Why V50 vs. 250? 250 is some tough stuff.
@@pawpawstew V250 isn't rated for cabinets. Read the product data sheets on both.
Do you have to thin the primer or paint with that Wagner Gun?
@@mvboynton You shouldn't have to. But, if you can't get it to push through, just read the instructions on the can and it will tell you what you can dilute to. Most are between 5-10%.
It was nice to see your mom again. This paint was very impactful to the overall look of the bathroom, and only paint with no major remodel was done. That sends a good signal that, if planed, one can make a great impact with just a small and simple project. Thanks!
The brad nails in scrap wood for the stand offs when painting is genius! Wish I had known that years ago.
We did the same thing for our kitchen cabinets recently!
We learned that special attention needs to be paid to those cabinets above the stove because grease like to accumulate there, and can make it difficult for paint to adhere.
Refinishing a neighbor's moldy chair. I went from 100 to 60 grade sand paper to get to wood that will adhere to paints. Perhaps the grease gave you a similar prob.
Nicely done. Within budget and simple to tackle for many home owners Appreciate it.
Great tips.....thank you April!!! BTW, you have the most wonderful mom. It's fantastic that you two have such a close relationship!
Great job in turning an outdated looking cabinet into a newer modern looking one. A simple project that results in a great look.
I have these exact cabinets. Thanks so much for posting this!
Glad you found it useful.
Awesome job April. Very informational and helpful video. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
This is why I always put pulls or knobs on drawers and doors. If you don't, you're going to get a lot of grubby gunk on the drawers by having to pull them open by your fingers. Especially in a bathroom or kitchen.
I want to do this in my bathroom. Thanks for the tips! I'd make a nice resin pour piece to put between the mirrors but you do you.
thanks for the video.
Liked the tip on the paint stands and attaching the hinges to the frame first.
Always beautiful projects 👍
Your mother is a real trooper. This is a fantastic project that many of us can utilize. Merry Christmas.
Beautiful as always. Partner with Stone Coat Countertop to epoxy your vanity top! Hundreds of choices and relatively easy and inexpensive to do.
Great job as always! Keep smiling!
May You Have A Merry Christmas And A Happy and Healthy New Year
Thanks! You too! Thank you for watching.
They look so good April..good job as usual..Merry Christmas..
Excellent work with your FLEXiO 3500 sprayer! The cabinets look so smooth!
Looking good April ❤The bathroom looks very cool!💯
Great job explaining everything thank you
Muy buen trabajo! Cuanto puede llegar a cambiar un ambiente con tan solo cambiar los colores del mobiliario. Quedó hermoso. Y otra cosa hermosa también, es ver a tu mamá trabajando junto a ti. Eso es impagable! Abrazo fuerte!

Thanks for sharing with us April, good info. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻
That stand off tip is clutch! Totally doing that next time.
Great job April, I've recently got this sprayer. It's great. Hope you have a nice Xmas. Love from Scotland.
I mean, everything you touch turns to gold!
Super great ideas
Happy New Year April. Here's to another year of good health and successful woodworking
Thank you so much! You too. :)
This video hit all of the mistakes I have ever made in D.I.Y. And heck yeah, Liquid IV! I have a disorder that makes me prone to dehydration and it is the very best.
🙏🏻❤️Always beautiful projects
Looking great nice job. Thanks 😊 🙏
Perfect timing I'm starting a remodel on my bathroom.
At 3 min in and already 4 very helpful tips I've never heard before!
Liquid iv is a pretty good hangover cure.
So is Gatorade
I did the same project a few years ago and found before priming if you caulk the doors where the framed bevels are at it seals that gaps and makes it look better after you paint, so you won't see any gaps.
Good job April
Awesome job
Love watching your videos. Thank you
Glad you like them!
Great job April n Mom! Just missing some new shiny hardware pulls! 💕👍
nicely done!
Gracias bonito video...
Looks great
Very nice job ! We are remodeling our bathroom as we speak .
Great! Painting them is definitely a game changer. Thanks for watching.
Happy New year.
Happy New Year! Thanks for watching.
Niiiice! Looks great.
kool job!
Thanks for the tips and for the procedural narrative. We are moving into a new home soon and are going to be painting the kitchen cabinets. Anything you would change with the process for the kitchen? Also, any chance you could share details on the primer and paint you used? Thanks!
@AprilWilkerson Two things: 1) Your fake drawer fronts, they do make new snap in retainers for them and also make a hinged dealy with a plastic pocket on the inside for storage of small stuff like combs and sponges or whatever you like. So it opens like the glove box in your truck. 2) They also make soft closing hinges that don't take a lot of work to install, but are absolutely a nice upgrade. A few bucks now = lots of FOR SALE bucks!!!
😁👏👏👏 Merry Christmas aprill! You and your family! 😊🎄🎁👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏😘
All good tips!!! Much more patient then me!!!
A very good cleaner for the wood you are going to paint is TSP, trisodium phosphate.
excellent travaille
Just saw you on Assembly required. Nicely done 😊😊😊
Thanks! Working with Tim and Richard was a blast. Stay tuned for big announcement soon. Thanks for watching.
Great video. I have never used a sprayer before. Can you explain how to clean this sprayer after use?
I have loved your remodel videos. I really want to do my kitchen but can’t figure out color it is definitely not my strong suit.
And they have so many great colors to choose from! It was hard to pick for sure. Thanks for watching.
Frohe Weihnachten aus Düsseldorf Germany und ein schönes Jahr 2022 schüß !!
Merry Christmas from Texas! Thanks for watching.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I might as well say it now before I forget to say it later on
April try out the Stone Coat Counter Top system. They have a You Tube channel and I want to use it to do tables and counter tops for myself. The cabinets look beautiful.
I've added a little storage to all our cabinets by turning the false fronts into tip outs.
nice
1st hey April. Merry Christmas
What type of paint did you use? We are planning on painting our cabinets and need to know what type of paint, enamel trim paint? Yours seemed to dry really nicely and we have that exact sprayer.
Thanks
Thanks April. Was the paint you used a latex, water based paint? Finding a primer and paint you can spray with that spray gun seems to be the hardest part of the project for me. I'll check out the Wagner unit, but this is usually tougher than it seems, no?
Great job love the standoffs idea, will be using that, in terms of using the paint wagner paint sprayer. Did u have any issues spraying paint, i have not had good luck using this tyoe of sprayer
No issues but I keep the sprayer moving, slightly overlapping each area so ultimately even. I get into a groove and it's done before I know it. Thanks for watching.
Feliz Navidad te deseo desde España ¡¡¡
Would you recommend liquid sandpaper?
April ,did you have to thin the paint when using the spray gun? Mind if I ask what color you used for the cabinets?
How does the finish hold up?
What cleaner did you use?
I would love to do this to my kitchen, which would be the same process but on a larger scale. My concern is filling in that wood grain and making it smooth.
Get a piece of scrap wood and exercise on it - you can make dents and scratches, if the scrap is flat.
Nice job. Very well thought out. Looks like something my wife and I could easily do with our very similar age and composition dual vanity. One thing I noticed with yours, though, is the large blanks directly in front of each sink between the drawers. I'm in the process of converting ours to flip-out panels with storage for sponges, small brushes, maybe even toothpaste, or similar-sized objects that you might otherwise lose in a drawer while at the same time not wanting them on the counter, either. Different width kits to do this are available at any big-box or online DIY store and aren't costly at all.
Yes, that's an excellent idea! Thanks for sharing and for watching.
Bad ass!!
Thanks!
Came out looking great! Nice uplift. Thanks for sharing.
What color paint? Brand? Type and brand of primer?
Nice work. Needs drawer and door pulls to really finish it off.
Looks great. Now you need some hardware to make it pop
To learn a new thing and streatch yourself, maybe try a resin top for the counter top.
Thanks for a great chennel from Sunny 30 deg C south Africa (Durban ) Stone cold counter tops (I think show how )
Yay top 9 comments. Love this channel.
Did you have to thin out the paint to shoot it with that sprayer?
It'll depend on the type of material you're spraying! The FLEXiO 3500 can spray unthinned materials with the iSpray nozzle, but if you're using the Detail Finish nozzle like April is in this video then some thinning might be required
There is another YT'er that says Krud Kutter is all that is needed in prep for painting cabinets. Just clean the cabinets with Krud Kutter and you're ready to paint.
Hi
name of the paint plz!!
Can I have paint color brand and number?
Got it! The Pro-tip in this video: to leave fingerprints on the edges of your doors, spray paint the edges before you flip them over... 🤪
Sweeeeet!
I want to paint the cabinets in my bathrooms, but I’m too lazy to remove the doors. Can they be painted without being removed?
People can do with their cabinets however they wish. It may not have the same finished look, but whatever you choose. Thanks for watching.
Paint will scratch easily no matter how good it is. You need to give it 1 or 2 extra couts of semi gloss varnish to really protect it.
Thanks to Liquid I.V. for sponsoring this video!
Having worked in a paint store for several years, let me recommend everyone use an oil based paint on any cabinetry. The oils on your skin will break down even the best latex paints. Plus you'll be cleaning them more often because the dirt sticks easier to latex, which will break it down even quicker. Plus, with oil based paint you can most likely skip the primer step since the original finish is most likely oil based.
With all the work you've been doing, your parents must be getting ready to sell their house.
No, but they are moving into this one and we're all excited about the changes. Thanks for watching.
I would recommend letting the primer cure and painting on the second day. This is definitely NOT a one day job if you want to do it properly.
If you have time, that's a great idea. I was on a time crunch and the primer was dry so I could then paint. But yes, waiting till the next day is always good if you can. Thanks for watching.
No door handles? C'mon. Silver or brushed aluminum would be great for these cabinets.
I see you didn't strain the paint.....at least not on video.....any reason for that?
I hate when someone paint wood ...
Sorry, just no turn back...
Can you try "Shou Sugi Ban" o just "wood stain" next time, i like dark tones to.. but afther years repaint or one scratch and my eyes bleed.. =(
everything was only $60! 😂 bruh
Actually, watch the Idaho painter.... To really know how to paint cabinets.
