5. Prime
Choosing the proper primer for your surface will determine if your finish will last. There are numerous great water and solvent-based primers on the market. Do your research and test the system you settle on, don’t just guess it will work. Use a mini-roller system to create a smooth primed surface on the doors and drawers as well as the frame. Spray application will give you a much cleaner look, HVLP or Airless.
Tip: Apply at least 2 generous coats of primer to the cabinets, drawer fronts, and doors. priming is the first step in chemical adhesion. When spraying make sure you are wearing a respirator and proper PPE.
Remember,” Test, Don’t Guess!”
