Kitchen cabinet painting hack

[Will G.]

i have painted lots of cabinets and usually spray them with oil based paints out of an automotive type setup, to get a factory like finish, but no more!

I tried cabinet rescue with a mini foam roller in white and got as good as sprayed results. It lays out so nice and flat!

The extra seceret ingredient on this project was a couple of coats of rustoleum 2x matt clear right out of the aerosol can! Unbelievable factory like results, with a gorgeous sheen, and way less trouble than my old method.

It only takes a tiny bit of effort to get even coverage with the clear, i had to get the lighting at an angle to effectively see the wet edge of the clear going on.

I'm going to try it on a cabinet in our garage.

Here's for the finish:

Did you sand the cabinets first with a palm sander? How many coats of the 2X Ultra Cover Clear Matte? How did you protect surrounding areas? What tools did you use, from start to finish?
