Painting kitchen cabinet doors
I am ready to paint my wood kitchen cabinet doors. They have been removed sanded and ready to go. I will be spraying with air spray gun. I have compressor and gun with, of course, a moisture filter in line. I need suggestion on what primers and with what type of paint, thinner if needed and what type if so and any other info needed. Such as 1 coat or more and so on. I am not new to air tools but have sprayed paint with air gun very little and what I did was not very precise. Advice from experience please. Thanks.

One of the things that I do is that I am a furniture refinisher. I use a compressor and spray gun a lot. What I have used spray guns on a lot, is pianos. They need to look perfect.
Where will you be doing the spraying?

Well I have the back yard till painted then the garage or I will create a plastic bubble in the garage to lower dust but may create overspray. What do you think?

It's fine to be spraying things outside if that's what you mean and as long as the temperature and weather hold out. I'm just trying to address safety issues first. You do have a respirator. Correct?

So, by sanded do you mean that your cabinets are sanded all the way down to the bare wood? Sanding can also mean sanding so that the paint is smooth.

Okay. Thanks! So, now I know that we aren't dealing with bare wood here.
Are you wanting the trim around the doors to be the same color as the doors?

Do you care then that the doors have exactly the same look as the trim? Or, is it okay that they look just a little bit different because they will have been sprayed, but the color remains exactly the same as the trim?

All is already painted. Doors only needed to be painted. Contractor did all except doors before he disappeared. Now I need to paint doors.

What I'm asking is if you mind if the paint on the doors looking just a little bit different from the trim because if you spray the paint on the doors it will look like it has been sprayed. If you use a brush on the doors, then it will have the same look as the trim.

The difference does not matter. I wanted door a different color but wife does not want. I did not want all white. It looks like a big white box. A little difference will be good.

I agree that a little variety is good! So, are you saying that the doors will be a different color than the trim? Sorry, I'm not quite clear on that.
