Love your videos. Great job as always. I am a painter as well. I paint all day then come home and watch you paint when you put out a video. Doesn’t make much sense lol. But very satisfying watching someone else. And never to old to learn new things.

[@diypainting]

That’s awesome (I do the same thing!). Thanks for watching!

[@pjl4562]

Great video! Thanks for all that you share… it has been very helpful!

[@ryanmarshall9146]

I like that Frog belt you had on!

[@diypainting]

I’ve got quite the fashion sense….

[@seanyoung3864]

I would take restored solid oak like this over the brand new crap they're making nowadays.

[@elizabethturel78]

Really professional work and advice❣️My son did this in his painting contractors business for years. Finally went back and got his MBA, but he still does his DIY projects. He really enjoys them.

[@jayjudd6518]

❤This guy great teacher. His experience really helped me. I’m getting ready to for my experience.

[@MrNateyboy]

Just wanted to say that I used all your advice to paint my kitchen cabinets on the house I just bought. Used the grain filler, Benjamin Moore, etc and they turned out great. Thank you for being an amazing resource!

[@diypainting]

Good to hear! If you're open to sharing pictures of the project, we'd love to see them! [e-mail]

[@BrenQ99]

OMG! I have that same green belt. What are the odds? I love your work. Because of your videos, I am in the middle of painting 40yr old cabinets in a bathroom. I never would have though I could pull it off without you. Thank you!

[@diypainting]

Ha! That's awesome! Thanks for watching and good luck on your project!

[@drw-007]

I like seeing the grain through the paint.

[@diypainting]

Some people do and that's great!

[@TradingVibrations]

Just don't pull a permit in Maple Grove Just finished a flip up off Zackary and the worst part of the project was dealing with the absolute stupid of the ignorant inspectors - from the electrical to plumbing to mech - wow never in my 30 years have I seen something like this. If you wanted to change an outlet they will look at all the electrical and could cost you 5k for that outlet swap. Anyhow, now the venting is done I love the vids!

[@diypainting]

We all need to vent! I did my basement a few years back and had a great inspector in MG. Nice guy, super helpful. Probably depends who you get. Thanks for watching!

[@ArmchairInvestigator411]

😂 Totally 💯 I was building a platform in my garage & they want their nose in that too. 😵‍💫

[@LowEndDan]

Great video bud. Im getting the Graco Magnum X5 for Christmas (she wants her kitchen cupboards done). This video gives me a darn good idea of what to do so thanks and yes i watched the whole 44 minutes.

[@jdavidk]

That showed me a lot of good stuff. I am getting ready to paint my cabinets.

[@PiaKöppe]

Danke, du hast mir sehr geholfen für ein anstehendes Projekt. ❤️

[@Wagner-Spraytech]

It's so great seeing the FLEXiO 5000 in action! The finish on those cabinets is so smooth & this dated kitchen looks totally new again!

[@diypainting]

Thanks so much!

[@SandySidedoor721]

Thanks for a great tutorial. Looks wonderful!

[@kennycetera1522]

Love your attention to detail! Thanks for the video!

[@catsknit23]

I may have missed this, but if you number the cabinet doors and cover with tape, then you are painting over that. Do you then remove the tape, install the door and then spot paint to cover the number in the end? Same with arrows on the drawer fronts. I've been putting the cabinet number where the hinge would go but you have it right in the middle.

[@joanna3935]

Love your work and tips

[@twosawyers]

You had me at builtin toaster! We need to have builtin air fryers.

[@tammyc606]

Just bought a double oven at lowes it has air fry option and convection oven. I JUST noticed it.

[@awesomearizona-dino]

Thanks to your tips on prev videos i did almost pro grade spray on cabinets. Same paint used in this video, SW Urethane lays down awesome, it looks orange peel but disappears IF temps are low and no sun or wind. I used a Homeright Finish MAX sprayer with green tip 1.5. thinned about 10 percent. i did 2 coats over maple cabinets.

[@diypainting]

That’s awesome to hear! If you ever feel like sharing pictures, we’d love to see them. [e-mail]

[@Sophiecjp]

Great tip. Put your hinges in small zip lock baggies and put the number on them. This way all screws and any other items ie rubber bumpers are all in the bag. You never loose anything unless you loose the whole bag. I put them in a cheap basket from the dollar store so not to misplace anything. I think I would have painted that brick white also to give that kitchen a brighter look.

[@glennirwin4710]

Great video as always.

[@SuriyaWetzler]

Thanks you for sharing...your doing great job on teachning🙏👍👍🙏👍🙏🙏 a question…why you don't use sanding Machin for sanding cabinets?

[@diypainting]

I do occasionally (just not usually in video). The main reason you see me use certain tools on this channel is because I am trying to do everything with DIY methods. The channel is DIY Painting and I want it to all show methods that an average homeowner can do. If I pull out my $500 sander, $700 vacuum, and $2000 sprayer, that's not really DIY anymore, but Pro Painting Tips. Know what I mean?

[@SuriyaWetzler]

@@diypainting yes thanks .wish one time you paint with a foam roller n brush as well….I appreciate

[@ArmchairInvestigator411]

@@SuriyaWetzlerYou can get a sprayer now pretty inexpensively. After you’ve spent money getting rollers or pads, edgers or whatever you’d be surprised. 40:30 Brush is used

[@MaraJadeTX]

Stumbled on this excellent video. Will you have your painting kit back in stock? I have a 1978 kitchen with gingerbreaded solid oak. My hubs loves to cook and wants easy-to-clean surfaces. Even said he preferred melamine laminate for ease of clean. I vote keeping oak, but promised I'd paint the cabinets with good strong paint.

[@diypainting]

I am working on getting everything back in stock currently after running out of a few things during the holiday. Shoot me an email at [e-mail] and I'll email you when I have the kits ready.

[@SAMeight18]

Nice video! Thank you!

[@siddathekidda282]

Do you have any videos with pricing tips? I’m new to the industry and want to make sure I price accurately for future clients 🙏🏼 I’ve watched so many of your videos and so grateful for the content!

[@diypainting]

I don’t have a video as I hear this channel towards the DIYer, but I do have a post I wrote on my website about this a while back that could help. diypaintingtips.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-paint-kitchen-cabinets/

[@phenglee6084]

Maple Grove MN? If so... Let's go!!!

[@diypainting]

Yep!

[@rewind9536]

One would think there is a better place to do woodwork than in the kitchen. :P

[@bboysmith]

its a flip

[@ArmchairInvestigator411]

Plus, “One” is in Minnesota where it sometimes snows in October! 🥶 😂

[@Luz-n8s]

Thank you, I already learned so much from watching your two videos. Could you tell me how much should I expect to pay for a project like this (kitchen cabinets)

[@diypainting]

Hiring it out, $4,000 - $7,000 depending on who you hire and size of your kitchen. DIY - $300-$500 for materials and an extra $250 for a Flexio 5000 sprayer if you need a sprayer. You can buy everything at DIYPaintingSupply.com and save 15% with this code: KZbin-SAVE15

[@pearlperlitavenegas2023]

Hi you said to use Plus3 but the bucket you use shows Dust Control is there a difference?

[@diypainting]

I believe Plus 3 is superior, but both work. Plus 3 will shrink less and you won't have to reapply. I used it because I had a bucket on hand and it does work just fine.

[@pearlperlitavenegas2023]

@diypainting ok thx for the clarification

[@SuperPorkchop07]

Is the prep the same for an oak vanity? Do you give estimates? I reside in The Cities.

[@diypainting]

Prep is the same. I would be happy to give you an estimate. I do this full time with my son. You can reach me at [e-mail]

[@jporter504]

Nice!

[@brycecastleton5863]

Is it possible to use a roller for painting on the cabinets? I am doing this on a vintage camper and all the walls are wood grain. I've sanded everything down and vacuumed. Started applying the USG but its an insane amount of handheld brush work. Will a roller do the trick? Or will it not get into the grooves enough?

[@diypainting]

A roller can work great. Just thin the USG down a bit or it won't roll very well. make sure to work it in a bit too. A foam roller also works great for priming and top coating if you don't mind a little bit of texture (not bad though, just more than spraying).

[@robm3063]

Would you recommend thinning Cabinet Coat at 20% using a Graco True Coat 360 airless.

[@diypainting]

The TrueCoat 360 might be able to handle it unthinned. But 5% still might be a good idea.

[@robm3063]

@@diypainting thanks

[@cherylmatthews2851]

Great video! I know you didn't use Zinsser Smart Prime in this kitchen cupboard reno, but I seen you recommend it in another one of your videos as one of the best to prevent bleed through with original oak. I have been having that problem with other primers and wanted to try the Zinsser Smart Prime, but I can't seem to find it on Amazon or any local hardware stores. Does it no longer exist? My search keeps redirecting me to Zinsser 1-2-3 Bullseye. Does that have the same quality as the Smart Prime?

[@diypainting]

Zinsser 1-2-3 is fine, but I wouldn't use it. If you have a Sherwin close by, go and ask for Extreme Block Water Based Primer and use that. If you have any bleed through after that, my guess is it would only be small spots. If you have some spots, hit those with a spray can of Kilz Original. That's what I do and I don't have any issues.

[@cherylmatthews2851]

Thank you so much! I will try that:)

[@pearlperlitavenegas2023]

​@@cherylmatthews2851the bullseye allows bleed thru don't use it another option is BIN Shellac

[@zing_go_the_strings]

Long time fan of yours. One question though. If you want to paint the inside of the boxes, is it ok just to spray them without any prep, except maybe a light sanding to help the paint attach better?

[@diypainting]

Thanks for watching! Absolutely. I just make sure they are clean, give them a light sand, and vacuum.

[@AndrewParrish-v4k]

Do you use TSP to clean the doors before the scuff sand?

[@dennisnbrown]

I’ve watched several of your older videos where you use the old-school air sprayer. Does this sprayer provide the same level of finish?

[@diypainting]

The Wagner Flexio 5000 can produce an incredible finish on cabnets, on par with far more expensive sprayers.

[@pearlperlitavenegas2023]

Does the primer allow tannins to bleed?

[@diypainting]

Water based primers do tend to allow tannic acids to bleed through. So an oil or lacquer based primer may help or at least use one to hit bleed through spots.

[@nwphillips2003]

What filler do you use to fill knob holes? Is there a specific technique?

[@angelamoran1479]

Wow! What an amazing professional job! Looks beautiful! May I ask where you live? Or do you travel for jobs, I live in Florida…

[@diypainting]

Feel free to email me [e-mail]

[@mpd1982]

Any recommendation on rollers that leave the smoothest finish? I can’t seem to find one that I really like.

[@diypainting]

I've used these and really like them when rolling on a finish: amzn.to/3WlpThN

[@davidcash8158]

Using a magnum sprayer, and got a bunch of runs. Any tips for preventing runs? I thined about 10-20%

[@ArmchairInvestigator411]

Now if your paint brushes including handles were stainless steel, I’d be all in! 😂 Seriously tho 👊

[@diypainting]

That would actually be pretty cool. Not sure about practical, but definitely cool!

[@AZOverland2017]

Are you sanding between topcoats?

[@diypainting]

Yes. I use 220-320 grit pads between top coats.

[@pearlperlitavenegas2023]

​@@diypaintinghow long do you allow the paint to dry before sanding?

[@jacque403]

do you caulk the inside panel door seams?

[@diypainting]

Absolutely. If you do, it could potentially crack as the wood expands and contracts with the seasons if you use a low quality caulk. Choose a high quality caulk with high elasticity and you should be just fine.

[@pearlperlitavenegas2023]

DAP Stretch ​@@diypainting

[@MasterSuzuki]

Why don’t you use an orbital sander with a soft pad for curved edges to knock down the bulk and only hand sand where orbital can’t reach ?

[@diypainting]

Orbital tends to be too aggressive for this step imo. They can easily sand through finish, grain filler or primer way too easily. I prefer the control of hand sanding, but I have started using a 3x4 sander lately and found it to be a pretty good balance in between the orbital and hand sanding.

[@MasterSuzuki]

@@diypainting yeah I thought that why you hand sand but with the festool ones I think you can change speed and have number 1 setting and it’s not so aggressive

[@lovelessissimo]

Theres another guy who does a video damn near exactly like this one, who also goes to the middle and then starts on the other side.

[@ArmchairInvestigator411]

Re: Spraying bottom to mid, then top to mid. Seems it would be to allow it to dry juuuust a bit, avoiding a run. Restarting at the top, by the time you reached the center it would be somewhat setup, YET still have a wet edge to be seamless. That’s how I would do it🤔💭 haha

[@JanaHeberlein]

You don't wash the doors first?

[@diypainting]

Usually yes. If you're sanding thoroughly, washing isn't necessary. But washing can save you a lot of sandpaper/sponges when the cabinets are greasy as that can gum up your sandpaper.

[@erikangeles7993]

People Please don't caulk the gaps on floating panels you will regret it once temperature changes

[@lilykhandker6716]

Great painting & finished kitchen It needs door handles

[@tracymclaughlinholmes677]

It is funny that this guy does not paint the inside of cabinets. I cannot think of a single house that I have lived in in my adult life that I did not painted inside of cabinets. Quite a few residents I painted the inside of the cabinets but left the outside of the cabinets alone. But then again we're in the Northeast US we're half of the year your 6 hours or so of good bright daylight is not that bright. There is nothing I hate more than trying to find something in the cabinet and it is so dark in that cabinet you can't see anything. Painting the inside of cabinets white is the fastest, cheapest, and easiest way to make it easier to see what you're looking for inside cabinets especially in houses that are on the darker side (like our current house that is blocked with a few windows to say all the rooms are on the dark side is an understatement)

[@diypainting]

Glad you found it funny. Thanks for watching.

[@Loulou-sr3tk]

Probably the owners are ok with that. Painting the inside of cabinets takes longer than only doors and frame, so more expensive for the owners.

[@mikem4432]

Painting over Oak... not my taste.. I would of gone with sanding down to the bare wood and light stain to give it a mellow natural oak look.. white paint in a kitchen with gas stove.. is going to look like crap because natural gas stoves leaves residue on everything will get yellowed quick. Also, replace the counter top with a granite or quartz would of been more bang for the buck.

[@diypainting]

Modern water-based enamels, especially those made with acrylic or acrylic-urethane blends, are designed to resist yellowing. They do not rely on alkyd resins (like oil based enamels do), which are prone to oxidation and yellowing. Also, high-quality water-based enamels (like these) include UV-resistant components that help maintain color when exposed to sunlight. Also, if you're getting any cooking residue on your cabinets, you probably need better ventilation in your kitchen.

[@LeaC-lw8xl]

omg yet another white kitchen. So clinical looking. When will it stop?

[@diypainting]

Probably never. As long as people have different tastes, they will do things differently. How boring would it be if everyone did the same thing?

[@LeaC-lw8xl]

@ True. But seems everyone wants a white kitchen these past 6 years.

[@ginawhite3728]

You spray the paint from the bottom-up because your brain has rationalized that it will be the path of least resistance for you, making it easier to finish off the area youre painting. whether or not that's true I don't know. but that's what your brain has likely figured out. You are obviously a detailed oriented person. The only reason I comment on this is because I do the exact same thing

[@diypainting]

Makes sense to me!
