I am refinishing cabinets for my daughter-in-law. She wants them a solid color with a satin finish like the commercial cabinets. Existing cabinets are maple stained then varnished badly by the previous homeowner. I have the in-place cabinets sanded ready for priming and paint. Cabinet interiors will be left as-is, only the face frames will be refinished. I made new raised panel doors and drawer fronts with soft maple frames and MDF panels and primed them with oil base Zinnzar? and have them sanded ready for final paint. I sprayed the door primer with my old Sears pressure gun. In place cabs will need to be brushed. Sherwin Williams retail outlet recommended their high end trim and cabinet enamel as it is self levelling and will minimize brush marks and is sprayable for the doors. Am I ok so far?
I realy need to retire my old Sears gun. I see the most recommendations are for the Wagner HVLP conversion gun. The Wagner conversion gun looks like a siphon feed. Can it be converted to a pressure feed? Those 2 quart pressure pots with 4 feet of hose look interesting, anyone use one? I presume the paint will be a bit thick for a siphon feed.
As a cheap alternate, anyone have any experience with the HF HVLP pressure pot combo? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...temnumber=7902
