To set up the spray booth we first lay drop cloths to protect the floor, we then hang plastic from the ceiling creating an enclosed space so there is no over spray. This means we can easily get every angle of whatever we are painting in the booth, without worrying about damaging anything else.
We spray the cabinets instead of roll or brush so there will not be any marks. It is important to keep up on your airless sprayer. If you do not, there can be many issues including over spraying and runs in the paint.
Now it is time to do the first spray: The primer. We use Extreme Bond primer from Sherwin-Williams. It needs to be applied very thinly. You want it to basically be translucent.
We must wait at least 4 hours before we can apply the first coat of paint. Letting the primer set in will help the paint adhere the best.
After applying the first coat of paint you will need to wait another at least 4 hours for the second coat. At our company we always do two coats on all of our projects.
After the second coat is painted on waiting 12 hours is a must before it will be durable enough to put everything back together. We always let them sit over night.
Now we can go and start removing the blue tape we had used to closed off the inside of the cabinet units where the doors and drawers would go. After removing all of the tape from the inside of the units you can hang the doors and drawers back up where they go. Make sure they are all aligned and equal.
