[@WjB_96792]

50 grit too rough you will never get rid of those sand scratches. The old paint isnt peeling so id just sand it smooth and call it prepped. If removing old paint was desired then chemical paint stripper is your best bet. If you must sand use your shop vac equipped with a dust bag. That sander will easily accept the hose and boomski dust extraction.

[@ChrisPBacon-wm8dk]

Let’s go! Right when I’m planning to do this at my house. First time owner and needs updating

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Awesome. Cheers

[@catsmeow5566]

Tack cloth is good for removing the dust and waterproof shelf liner can help afterward. Maybe its just me, but I prefer the inside of the cabinets to be lighter so you can see inside more easily when looking for things. The hook thing to hang the doors up is interesting. Wish I'd thought of that for my vanity doors but they are old plywood. Another way to do it would be to have two hooks so the doors don't move around so much. I don't usually paint the insides of the doors so I'd probably use loops on the back and S hooks to hold it on the bar. I don't have strong fingers so a drill bit or screwdriver would be good for moving the hooks. I'll have to see if I can set up something like this in my workshop but I'd use regular spray paint as I don't have the fancy paint sprayer. I'd probably hang stuff a little bit higher up so I wouldn't have to bend as far to spray underneath- I don't bend well. LOL. I'd rather have to use a stepstool or ladder to paint the top than have to bend down.

[@HannahFortalezza]

[@joseph7105]

Beautiful job. This is how the pros do it

[@harpintn]

I would have started sanding with a small belt sander and 120 grit paper then switched to a palm sander with 120 then moved up to 180 then 220. Much faster that way. At least set a box fan in the window to blow the dust outside. Even better is to attach your shop vac to your sander.

[@user-gw3ef9nn5j]

I know this was a painting video but I liked how you did the waterfall effect w/ the butcher block counter top over the end lower cabinet......🥰

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

[@julzm7067]

Painting the builder's cheap pressboard kitchen cabinets white to cover the ugly dark stain was my first major reno project. Primer was my friend, I used a sprayer on the doors. It looked good for a decade and a half. My budget was miniscule so I used $1 sq. ft. tile on the countertops. No one told me I could rent a wet saw so the tiles were cut with a breaker bar.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Loving the can do attitude. Mix that with a little experience and voila you got yourself a real handy person. Cheers!

[@dcluizi3088]

You can also do a TSP /ammonia wash To help with the sanding process

[@davekushman2363]

If you’re around the corner from Home Depot it is definitely more efficient to hold off on starting to sand for 15 minutes while you run out and get proper grit sand paper instead of wasting your time pushing through with 220 to tear through two layers of paint one of which likely being latex based

[@davekushman2363]

Also never sand material directly beside wet paint or primer… that’s a simple one even a diy guy knows that, you’re kicking up dust and particulates and they’re falling in the wet paint now you have tonnes of floaters and spots that to get a professional finish you have to sand out or in your case, landlord special and paint over

[@calishakes2860]

HomeDepot has a citrus paint stripper that comes in a spray can. Works like a charm but be careful cause whatever you spray it on or over spray on it is coming off.

[@senchief1990]

I used the same hooks but I used 2 per door so I wasn't chasing the doors as they swung

[@mrljvb]

I would have used the fine finish tips if using an airless sprayer, and a much smaller spray pattern to reduce wasted paint in over spray. Also, the Sherwin Williams Gallery Series paint is specifically designed for cabinets, especialy kitchen ones.

[@epicpurevids]

Some good tips for dyers, all ill add is if you're young and spraying, if you touch that trigger you better have an actual respirator on if you want to dodge the risk of cancers at a young age, just cause you see Jeff over here winging it doesn't mean it's okay for you to also wing it and be as reckless as this. Jeff you're a mad lad for 22:30 lol, that sticky chemical overspray micro paint particles going right into your lungs. Well anyways, besides the health risks the end result looked like a great improvement, great job =)

[@ericr2zz]

Our garbage company in Wash State requires us to put cat litter in empty paint cans. The litter absorbs all the paint and hardens, making disposal more eco friendly.

[@harpintn]

Can't you just leave the lid off a few days so the mostly empty can will air dry?

[@michaelz8620]

Vacuuming works much better with a natural bristle brush attachment on the vac.

[@tjackson5874]

Jeff, I absolutely love watching your videos! The worst part is, you make everything look easy, then I get ideas that are beyond my reach. 😂 Regarding this kitchen paint job, I would love to do something like this in my current kitchen, but dust & overspray would be an issue. Yours was obviously a complete kitchen renovation - did you tape off much or have issues with overspray? Other than for the videoing purpose, did you not need a face mask or was there not much spray blow back? Thanks so much! Keep up with the great videos!

[@Youtuberkit7]

[@stevekraft4241]

If you attach the vacuum to the sander outlet port there will be a lot less dust.

[@danielhammer7148]

Note that may have been missed is to put the hole that you drilled out of sight. So on the top for uppers and bottom for lowers so no one will see those little holes.

[@duncinkw]

What store were the doors from? Looking for options for our kitchen reno, either paint what we have or update to new doors and paint.

[@jessejohnson7611]

Should definitely use a blue housing with a fine finish tip much better finish

Glass top stove ranges are highly underrated

[@UnbreakableSTS221]

Why would u not do all the sanding at one time instead of priming then sanding, getting dust to get onto the primer?

[@jasonmoore8878]

How long did it take you to finish the cabinets? And they look great. I've been painting for some years and what I've learned from older guys who have been painting for 20+ years is that I've seen people who are "professionals " take weeks to do a job like this and in the end the cabinets turned out to look the same.

[@andrealaphilippe5926]

If you don’t know you don’t know. But don’t throw trash at professionals that do their job as they should. Painting cabinets is not a day or couple of days project. It can very well take a week+ . But if you’ve never done it before it’s understandable that you wouldn’t necessarily comprehend the amount of prep needed and the crazy masking involved if everything else stays in place such as countertops , backsplash tile and frankly all the paint around cabinetry. Throw in a picky customer that wants dead straight lines everywhere and if you don’t raise prices you’re going to hate your life painting that kitchen. Been there done that …

[@jasonmoore8878]

​@@andrealaphilippe5926 im not throwing shade on professionals in general, but some, yes. And I've been doing cabinets for some years and there are some cabinets that can take a couple weeks depending on the project, and i prefer to do straight lines etc without having to hear it from the customers... learned to do my best going into the job to leave no room... but some do go the extra mile and look for the impossible. But my question and statement wasn't for the obvious things. I asked specifically how long it took for this particular project.

[@toddlanham9616]

My Lord brother what size nozzle are you using looks like a 415 you should probably be using a 3:10 on

[@sandybarnes5463]

60 grit for the prep? 220 grit for the finish. Correct?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

yup!

[@ianbutler1983]

N0 -if you change colors by just shoving the pickup in the new can the paint ends up being a blend of the 2 colors. You end up with a paint job where the color is a gradient changing from the old color to the new. It can take 1/2 gallon to get all the old paint out. You'll end up with a different shade until all the old color is gone. Just clean the machine, or have your primer tinted to the finish color. Also, you really ought to wear a mask. Breathing aerosol paint, even latex, is dangerous. That is a stupid way to save a few dollars.

[@juicemcnorway]

I agree with a lot of the comments on this video. This is a pretty poor how to video, and there are plenty out there. I like a lot of Jeff’s videos but this one is a bit hard to get behind. Sanding after spraying primer…seems like he realized after the fact that he should’ve done this. Moving the intake from primer into emerald urethane without cleaning, and at the very least it should be flushed with water, but the proper way would be to clean it completely. Using a much too large spray tip, looked to be in the 500s, and not wearing a respirator when spraying, especially into a cabinet opening which ensures blowback. Why not spend a little extra time to teach viewers the correct way? Because he’s a smart guy and knows how. Not great on this one. I hadn’t even got to the door spraying before this comment. My god man. That might be the most awkward set up, not to mention the single hook, the drying right in the spray zone, and the height. Despite saying “plan it out to make things easy, it just makes sense,” nothing makes sense here.

[@muzic4lyfe2005]

He's not a painter. There's a very big difference between someone who does it for a living, and someone like Jeff.

[@Warpgatez]

@@muzic4lyfe2005you do know Jeff started off his career as a painter right? The thing op doesn’t realize is yeah he cut some corners but that’s the whole point of this series. He’s renovating under a budget and under a time crunch. He’s showing people it’s okay to do some things and it’ll be alright in the end. He said that when he put the white primer filled pump in the green canister. Op didn’t listen clearly. This series isn’t really a how to step by step. It’s a showing the process to make some people more comfortable with the idea of doing something without a big budget

This is Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane. If you were to use a sprayer, you would not want to switch the dirty intake into the paint like he did. Secondly you would want to use a much smaller spray tip than he used. He has spraying experience, which is probably the only reason he doesn’t have big runs.

I think, you can clearly see he doesn't wear a mask and goggles and tapes.nothing off so the question will be why doesn't he wear a mask

[@onemanshow4116]

His question is likely: “what’s the trick to spraying without needing to mask up?”

[@robkerf]

Lower pressure Jeff mentioned

[@joseph7105]

@alrasekhoon1 He is just spraying cabinets, not entire walls, and using low pressure so you don't really need a mask As for masking off, not necessary if you're cutting in and painting afterwards

Where's your safety glasses, and maybe hearing protection?

Having done this type of work as a professional in the past 10 years, I can tell you I’m not touching any cabinets under 6000$ no matter how small the kitchen is. Hybrid waterborne paints should not be on kitchen cabinets, period. Lacquer primer and pigmented lacquer topcoat x2 pre or post catalyzed is the standard, and even those don’t resist to all kitchen sauces throw at them. So many things wrong with this video, prep and paint wise, and some advice that’s plain wrong. Man oh man, whoever is painting cabinets for such a price should just start cutting grass . It’s healthier for you and you make more money than that without breathing in those fumes.
