I am looking for help from anybody who has extensive experience with finishing/refinishing kitchen cabinets. I do a lot of cabinet painting (spray of course) and have typically use water-based finishes like acrylic or enamel. I have recently purchased a new HVLP spray rig and want to transition to lacquer or something similar. However, I didn’t realize how many different options there were for coatings in this area. I am familiar with precat lacquer and that is about it. I have been researching Sherwin-Williams and have no clue what some of these other finishes are. Nitrocellulose, conversion varnishes etc. Can someone please throw some knowledge my way.
Also, I figured I should probably throw this part in to clear up any questions. I am a contractor and do this type of thing for a living, among others. I have finished hundreds of kitchens through my previous methods with fantastic results. I also have extensive experience with high end automotive body work and paint, so I am not worried about the prep or spray process whatsoever. I’m just unsure of the differences between all of these finish types. Any help would be greatly welcomed.
