Next project it is best to tint your primer darker especially with the final color being black. That way, any dings will not reveal the white primer.
As someone who paints trains for a living heres a little advice, flip your tip into a vertical position so you fan is vertical relative to your wrist, this will give you more control in the arm and wrist, it will also give you the ability to get your arm inside the cabinets and keep your gun at and even distance, always start with the most difficult thing to spray first that way you dont have to worry about touching something that is already painted, then work your way back to the simple parts.
Thank you so much for the tips, really appreciate it!
Love that you shared the dirt getting All over the cabinets. I always feel like it only happens to me…
I'm a huge fan of Sherwin-Williams Emerald trim enamel. Been painting cabinets with it for nearly 20 years.
I like the way you learn a little as you go. Nice cave also!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm glad I saw this, thank you! I'm planning on spraying my cabinets with the same paint! Been debating between the Enamel paint vs lacquer that one of my contractors suggested. Couldn't easily find lacquer though and glad I didn't. I already have an airless sprayer and don't want to buy HVLP for lacquer!
That wall mounted squat rack really came in handy!
It sure did!! Made the process much easier
Truly awesome
Thank you, really appreciate it!
Impressive job well done 👌

@@GoldenKeyDesign woow I'm glad, visit the most beautiful country in Europe as soon as possible, bokk😄
Weldone, thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
5:29, absolutely something that would happen to me!
Great 👍
Thank you 👍
Thank you bro 🙏👍👊
Nice!
Thank you!
Shear luck I found this channel. I'd need to see how someone paints cabinets inside and out for a project next week. Perfect, spray "booth" setup helpful also.
Happy you found us and I'm glad you found the video helpful! Good luck with your project!
Can definitely tell you don’t spray that often but, even so good job.! Did cabinet painting with Titan airless sprayers for 5 years and have to say you definitely bet some of the people I’v worked with 😂 I would have hired you in a heart beat.! Only thing I really cringed at was you painting the frame of the cabinets first. hit the feet at the bottom then inside. Leave the face for last because you will get overspray on the Front so better paint over than potentially getting that weird texture on the front of the cabinet. Yo was really impressed when you talked about not starting and stoping when painting the inside cabinet.!!
Nice job ! I use a Graco x7 for spraying cabinets . I’ve found the Graco fine finish , low pressure tips , give much better control . I use a 210 , perfect pattern size . You’ll need the rac x , blue guard with the ff tips . If you do anymore cabinets , you may want to look into the , green ff tips .
Thank you! This is the exact info I needed! I knew the x5 was too powerful but it’s the only sprayer I had. I thought about buying one of the smaller handheld sprayers but I didn’t realize you could buy different tips for the x5. This helps so much, thank you for the info!
duuuuude so happy i found this comment i have a very important island to do and have an x7 and needed this exact info!
your output in percentage friend?
I also stumbled upon your channel and I think it’s great. Its great to see someone do home renovations and build things using regular tools and materials from Home Depot. I can tell you do your research cause you get the best products that are affordable which make your final result great You and your wife do a fantastic job with all your projects. Looking forward to future projects
Welcome aboard! I really appreciate the kind words. Excited to show you our upcoming projects!
Pro tip, put the heave stuff on a furniture dolly. They are cheap at harbor freight
Great tip, thanks!
Looks good. For an even better finish without seeing the wood grain through the paint, buy 3/4" birch plywood "finished" both sides. Then sand with 120 grit to 180 grit to take the sheen off, tack cloth and prime. Sand the primed surface with 320 grit, tack and paint. The finished both sides panels remove all the imperfections of plain birch ply and saves a ton of time in prep... Unless you want the grain look through the paint. Finished both sides panels can be found in most major cities at plywood distributors, not the big box stores. Nice job on your cabinet construction as well.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I really appreciate tips from the experts to help me improve my skills and gain knowledge. Thanks for watching!
Barry, finished poplar ones work too? About 20$ cheaper a sheet here, same lamination
Hi - Great video! I’m hoping you can answer some questions. I’m getting reading to paint my kitchen cabinets with a Husky HVLP gravity feed gun. Here’s my questions. 1) Do I need to thin out the SW Primer and Paint? Do you sand in between paint coats? Lastly, does the primer and paint take long to dry? How long should I wait in between coats? Appreciate your help. Thank you for making the video!
Thank you! For question #1: you may need to thin your paint. You should consult the manual to be sure. The Magnum x5 that was using is strong enough to not have to thin your paint, but for a gravity fed sprayer, it might need to be thinned. #2: yes, you should sand between coats if your surface is rough. I did a lot sanding prior to painting and water popped everything so the paint did not raise the grain much, but I still sanded lightly after each coat. #3: the paint and primer both dried surprisingly fast for me. Both took about an hour or two. #4: You should wait the recommended time from the manufacturer (it usually says on the side of the paint can). But once its dry to the touch, you can put on another coat. Hope that helps a thanks for watching!
Great video! But could you please show how do you add shelves?
Thanks! Check out my other videos in this series. I have an entire video on the construction of the cabinets
What tip did you use? What pressure did you dial the X5 to?
That is niece
Thanks!
what brand spray gun u using
Hey man, great video. So is the trick to get a "grainless" look to raise the grain and sand it down? (as opposed to some craziness I read about filling in the grain?) Is your plywood pre-finished?
The method I showed in the video won’t make it look grainless but it will be buttery smooth. I personally like the hint of grain showing through. It’s really only visible when you look at the cabinets up close and it adds cool little texture. If you want it to look grainless, I would build it out of MDF. Filling in the grain is crazy haha 😅
What is the black paint? You mentioned Sherwin Williams primer but I didn’t hear what you used for the finish coat. Awesome job…I’m using your bar as inspiration for my own. Thank you
6:27
Thanks Carter! He is correct - at 6:27 I mention that I used the Emerald line of paint form Sherwin Williams
I do wonder how hard wearing they are. I would of liked to see them assembled again
It’s an enamel based paint so it very durable
How did you cover your plywood edges?
Thanks
I used edge banding. Check out the episode before this going over how I built the cabinets for more info 😁
What Tip # you using on this sprayer,??
i would have rented a conventional pressure pot set up. airless is just way too aggressive .... air assist is ok too but best with clear.
What size nozzle do you use ?
I used the one it comes with which is the 515 I believe. In hindsight, I would have bought a different tip as this one is a bit overkill and too high of volume
How much paint did you use? How much extra to prime the line?
2 gallons of primer and 3/4 gallons of paint. Not sure how much to prime the line but paint loss is minimal
@@GoldenKeyDesign thank you!
Nice prep, sell that graco, buy an hvlp.
Thank you! I love the graco. I tend to use it for larger spray projects like painting whole interiors. I have since picked up a handheld graco that works much better for smaller projects like this
Plywood doors? 🤔
If you buy high quality plywood and intend to do flat fronts, it works just fine 😁
the s trap on that drain is a bad idea and most likely illegal or against code.
USE A 310 FINE FINISH TIP..
What's the point of putting the green tape on the doors when you're going to be moving them inside the hinge holes anyway? I see not point in doing this extra work. When it's time to reassemble all you have to do is remove the tape you you will see which cabinet box the door goes to.
Not sure exactly what you mean. The tape prevents the markings inside the hinge holes from being painted over when spraying. Without the tape, the markings won’t be visible
@@GoldenKeyDesign I understand the part about covering the [door #] in the hinge slot to prevent spraying over it. I meant 'why did you put the labels on the door faces first (instead of just putting them straight into the hinge slots)'? At 1:14 you transferred the labels from the doors to the hinge slots. It just seems like a redundant step...why not just mark the door # inside the hinge slot and cover it with tape as you take the doors apart one by one. That's how I do it.
Bad spray tip
I agree. I should have invested in a lower volume tip but I didn’t realize that until after the project. The cabinets still came out fantastic though!
I wish people who arent professionals at something would stop making videos trying to come off as though they are.
Bro no offense, master the craft before you attempt to instruct. 2nd hand embarassment.
It’s a DIY channel and I’m self taught 😂
fuck sw and the magnum is not made for heavy duty projects its easy and “disposable” made for mini projects cause its gonna get destroyed after 150 ish gallons its like an hvlp its cheaper to get a new one than repair
Someone had to say it 👏
