Working on a flip house. I received a touch up kit from the cabinet company. They paint they gave me does not match, but the wax crayon thing matched well. The issue is I cant get it to sit smooth on the cabinet. We had to remove all the base cabinets to get rid of layers of flooring, and we damaged the toe kicks all around. I will need to make new ones so I was going to get paint mixed up and spray those. Here are my questions about the door.
I have an earlex spray station with the 2mm tip. I have sprayed latex before by thinning it for some shelving. It didnt need an amazing finish but did the job just fine. With that being said I have minimal experience using hvlp, but willing to practice before spraying the cabinet door. Here is my plan, tell me if it makes sense.
I only want to refinish the outside face of this cabinet and not the center if I dont need to. I was going to tape off everything but the outside face so I dont have to worry about touching up the dark gray lines. Green tape and paper the center. I have a festool sander and lightly sand with 220 to level it off and scuff it up well. Clean with alcohol. Then light coats of paint I get mixed at Sherwin Williams. Repeat coats until finish and color are smooth. I will test the color match prior to spraying.
Toe kicks im not worried since its below the cabinets so if color and sheen are off slightly you wont be able to notice.
