Friendly tip: Try using a smaller tip for the face frames. That gun was laying down a huge pattern, save that 515 tip for the side of the house. Use a 300 series tip, something like a 311 or 315, it will give you a 6 inch pattern, it will cut down on overspray and save paint. If you go with the economy grade latex paint that you showed, it lays out better if you thin it down a bit. Add a flow additive, especially if it's in a warm climate. Better yet, ditch that paint, it is not for cabinets. DIYers attempting this should go with an acrylic-alkyd paint from SW or BM, its the closest to a professional finish, it will cure rock hard and are water based for easy cleanup. That latex will get eaten up quickly if there are kids man handling those cabinets. "kids man handling"? well you know what I mean. I just realized that this is a Lowes video, so use their Valspar Cabinet and Furniture paint. I like the comments of those who saw how much work is involved, that is why it costs a bit to get them done professionally! But if you are a handy DIYer and have patience and are not afraid of work, go for it, buy a sprayer and spend the weekend fighting with the wife, shoot paint everywhere, make memories!

I paint cabinets. After I clean the cabinets...all I do is roll and brush on a DEGLOSSSER then paint. No need to sand or prime. Deglosser is the bonding agent. Saves tons of time.

Love the "hanger" hack! Going to use that! (prepping my kitchen right now) Thanks!!

5:52 I would highly recommend clamping a piece of wood to the back side of the cabinet to keep the back side of the cabinet from splitting when the drill bit pokes through. This is especially important for 20 year old cabinets that are going to be dry and extra brittle.

This helped me decide I didnt want to paint my cabinets myself. Haha! Thank you! Seriously! (not a jab) Great video!

Ha! I randomly came across this video and was surprised I knew the people in it. Nice work Ashlee!

Cool this video confirmed its better to buy a new kitchen. Thanks

The sprayer and clothes hanger ideas are super helpful. Great video!

Driving to IKEA to buy some cabinets instead (after watching this video). “Ain’t no body got time fo’ that” 😂😂😂 #ImLazy

Hello guys. This was a great video I'm a professional painter the prep work is super important and the only thing you miss was to pass a tack cloth to really get rid of the dust specially if you are going to spray. Oil base primer is the best for kitchen cabinets. and enamel paint is the best. I know there are a bunch of great products now, but if you want the best result oil base paint for kitchen cabinets is the best product. Overall good work!! 🙂

I am a professional painter and work on high end residential homes and have painted tons of cabinets . Your vid was very informative, but you made some mistakes . You need to use "oil base" primer for cabinets . It will bond better and seal away any grease that you may have missed . You also need to sand the primer smooth, then use a vac with a brush attachment , then use a tack cloth to wipe everything . The finish paint should be an industrial enamel paint . It will be more durable . I like the hanger idea . Keep up the good work , but try to loose the corny jokes and robotic script . Tell viewers how long the project will take and how much material you used , along with cost and savings doing it themselves .

you both are adorable... worked with my wife doing custom painting on cars and bikes for 25 years.... nice work and craftsmanship also.... good luck and GOD BLESS !!!

Great job, I like to see people who not cheaped out but do things right way

A couple tips from someone who does this on a regular basis. Most importantly don’t use the masks they use, get ones that have carbon filters since those actually filter out the chemicals in the paint fumes not just the dust. Put the marking number on the actual cabinet where the mounting hardware is with a pen/ sharpie and cover it with tape to it doesn’t get painted. If you have soft close hinges mark which goes on top and bottom so you don’t have to adjust later on. Use oil primer instead so you don’t have to sand before painting the primer since it grabs on better. If you paint the inside too it will look much better. If you have space you can cut down 2x1 boards to four inch pieces and put two screws in them to place the doors , paint only the top then holding the sides flip the door so it’s on the screws then paint the other side and edges to put the paint on a flat surface if you don’t know how to use a paint sprayer so the paint doesn’t run.

Great tips and instruction on how to do a paint project like this the right way, thanks for the video Cody and Ashlee.

Spraying makes life that much easier.

You couldn't finish the job without that great lady helper ,great job guys, great tips too, thank you both

As a professional contractor I suggest a smaller spray tip such as a 2:12. Also I suggest not using a wall paint for cabinets. Lowe's makes a decent door and trim enamel or better yet an alkyd hybrid such as Ben Moore Advance

Finally a great cabinet painting video! Wow! Amazing!

Well I was painting the wrong way until this very moment. Yall had me lock in on the taped room, omg. Had no idea this is what goes in to the "ohhh aaah" of an outstanding job. DEMS DA DAMN RULES... Love the video content. Thanks Kindly.

Love Cody's sense of humor. It is Graaaaayt Lol. Good video peeps

I'm so high watching this.. That dude got on my nerves the first 5 mins but now he's grown on me.

The beauty and the beast. Good job guys

Thanks for sharing and love both of you

Loved it! Thanks for the joy level and details. Ignore these haters.

The hardest part of this project and the most important is Prep and clean. Cleaning with TSP is very important then sand lightly with a 220 grit but I found cleaning with TSP 3 times made the primer and paint take better and last longer. If you can't spray your paint use a Zinsser BIN PRIMER SHELLAC BASE. Yes I know it is hard to work with and dries super fast but if you move fast don't worry about the looks some areas might look lighter then others but I found when it dried it was smooth as a babies behind. I gave it 2 coats using a Mohair roller NOT A FOAM ROLLER. FOAM ROLLERS LEAVE LITTLE RAISED MARKS THAT NEED SANDING. The mohair rollers 4" & 6" are great. The Sherman Williams store recommenced these and they really do make the difference. They cost more but when you put that final coat on without any sanding it looks as if you sprayed them. I was first doubting all this but once I started and finish I brought 1 of the doors into the Sherman Williams store and they could not tell if it was sprayed or rolled. Try it. I now use the mohair rollers on my flat finished doors as they do not leave that bumpy look like a foam roller does.

When adding new hardware, I used wooden golf tees to tap in the hole. I then use very little wood putty.

Cody you crack me up...Fun to watch..

These two were so cute. Dad jokes get me every time. I'm doing my cabinets the week after next. Couple of questions - why not paint the insides and why didn't you paint the cabinet on the side of the stove?

The hanger idea is absolutely gold ty for that. Also I liked that this showed HOW MUCH to sand. Nice video.

I am surprised you were not using Lowes Valspar Cabinet and furniture paint. It works great no runs and it come out super smooth, semi gloss is my favorite. cheers

I Actually enjoy little spurts of comedy so keep it up.

Love the video! From the prep tips to Cody's dancing (he's got some moves) and even "jokes" 😂. Really awesome overall!

They covered a lot of steps but it seems like they forgot to talk about the pilot holes and how those would be covered and would they be hand-painted are they going to look smudged? I just kept thinking about how those pilot holes were going to look after everything was done

I was excited to re paint my cabinets until I saw this. 🥴🥴🥴🙅🏾‍♀️

Yo I’m a boss painter and you did it right keep it up

Good job guys! Your cabinets are now less ugly!

Cool. Now I need my own house :)

The hanger hack is old school, and it leaves you with two holes in every cabinet that you have to fill and touch up after. There is a method that works better and no holes to fill in the end. Also I love how amateurs always use a water based latex acrylic thinking that it will last as long as the original Laquer finish... huge mistake, HUGE!!! This is a good way to change the cabinet color but you will have alot of maintenance that comes with this method of painting. Good luck and happy painting.

great job guys..... turned out great

Thank you for sharing. This was very helpful!!!

This "couple" deserve their own channel. I would subscribe instantly. Very informative and fun to watch.

This was awesome! You guys are the greatest. Can’t wait to learn more.

You will really need to dial back the pressure on that airless spray or it will make work sway, a lot (making for uneven paint coverage). Also, don't curve your spray pattern by turning your wrist like demonstrated here... That will also make the pain go on unevenly. Keep the spray head perpendicular to your work at all times. Make sure the holes from the Hanger Hack are on a surface not easily seen... Touch up the holes at the end.

Great video guys! Really helpful

Very helpful video!

I like them. Great energy

you are good guys keep it up

THAT hanger hack. wow.

You guys are awesome! Your hubby is too funny!

Great video and Entertaining..

The taping is not trivial and deserves some screen time. How did you tape the insides of the cabinets so neatly?

Haha dude you're funny, mostly corny funny. But humorous, I enjoy ur videos much more bc of it. I'm gonna paint my stair case using these methods and I thank you for the guide.

I think Cody forgot to take his medz, before the video. My heart goes out to his lady Ashley. Praying for you girl... 🙏😏

I Love ur channel 😍❤️ u guy are not only professional but funny, makes us really enjoyed watching as we learn.. thanks for making watching enjoyable..

it is a good script and not boring..... You are good in this area taping an old way :)

Your process looks good but you left out a few detail like what sprayer tip and how did you eliminate the holes you created for the hanger trick?

Nice. Now to paint the wall

I so enjoyed your video, you guy’s are such a cute couple!😊

Just a great shame LOWES are not in the UK their brand & products would work very well over here!

Very very good video

I love their chemistry .. what a beautiful and funny couple!

What do you do about the holes you drilled in doors to hang them by the hooks?

Very good video. I liked the tips.

I just used a spray to paint my rental property cabinets and it was very easy. We hand painted the frame tho

Nice job!!!!

Thanks 👍😊

You get more satisfaction out of the project doing it yourself.Then you can say "I did this."

from start to finish now long did this take? And how much did it cost including the sprayer?

Great video

Nice ❤

Great job to repaint the old cabinet, looks easy !

The bacon part was super funny

Really Great video guys! you made it look easy and logical. Please comment on how many layers or primer & paint did you end up with?

I actually want and have the time to do this. So thanks! I really needed some guidance. =-)

Fire Cody

Oh this looks like its gonna be easy. *Watches **4:02* Uh, yeah I'm not turning my house into a CSI Miami crime scene set.

For anybody thinking about doing this. Never use the mask they use in this video while painting it only removes dust particles and not gases and other harmful chemicals in paint.

What do y’all think about using liquid deglazer instead of sanding?

Thats the exact color I'm going to use on my cabinets.

My husband and I need to do this, how about many days are you thinking this will take? We have 5 kids and...well we have 5 kids.

Excellent job and tips.

What tip you use and what is your psi set to is also good tips to give. I use Fine Finish tips when spraying cabinets.

Thank you for this video. Super helpful. But why that color....

wow that finish is lightyears ahead of a brushed job

I use lacquer based paint in a cup gun. Make a door rack, makes it alot easier then drilling holes in the doors and hanging them in a closet lol. Should also use a better mask when painting. And a better ventilation fan.

I love love love him lmao!! What a cute couple

Great video. Please can you recommend a panit sprayer? We are thinking Graco but was wondering which model would be bestto spray kitchen cabinet / bedroom wardrobes / malm ikea drawers? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Bruce

Holy Smokes! that was a lot of masking and prep work. I would have just taken the cabinets down and painted them in a more appropriate setting.

Here is a pro tip for you my friend. The tip you’r using is meant for ceiling and walls you can use fine finish tip with a smaller fan

Thanks

I was quoted $2,500 and $3,100 by two professional painting companies to have my kitchen cabinets painted. If you're enough of a DIY type you may as well just replace the cabinets by buying RTA (ready to assemble cabinets) instead of this arduous process. They painted 20 year old cabinet and they still look like crap: cheap and out of style. I priced out all new white, shaker-style cabinets RTA for $2,600 (from rta cabinet supply). The choice in my case is obvious - just replace them since its the same cost and update the style in the process.

Good grief! Looks like more work than its worth.

What about cabinets that are already painted do i need to get all paint off or just treat it the same as this video

Hey 👋 good job

Great you tube

"3:47" -- HVLP Sprayer is said to be the best for spray painting furniture.

So how do you hide the holes from the "hangers for painting "

Do you do the same process with chipboard or melanine cabinet. What paint can you use for chipboard cabinets

I have dark, cherry wood colored cabinets. How do you scuff and prime the interior of the cabinets?
