We used the Home Right Finish Max sprayer to re paint our kitchen
cabinets. This was my FIRST time using a
sprayer and am by no means a DIY expert. I was extremely skeptical of the
results but after much googling and research we gave it a try. I used the
tutorials on Bower Power blog, Imperfect blog and Young house Love EXCEPT I did
more coats and sanded in between for a smoother cabinet feel. Just for a rundown…
1)I took all of the hardware off and labeled each door (I
went with lowers and then uppers)
2) I used an electric handheld black and decker sander and
sanded each door with 220
3) I deglossed each door (over kill I know but I wanted it
done right) with a towel (use a towel you can throw away)
4) Sanded again with the electric sander
5) deglossed again
6) sprayed each door with ZINSSER spray primer (in the can)
7) Sanded lightly with a sanding block (this is a trick my
friend Melinda who paints furniture told me) the primer
8) Primed again
9) sanded again with a sanding block (lightly)
10) painted coat one with the Home Right Finish Max Sprayer
11) I painted two more coats (over kill again but I wanted
it done right)
I painted with Benjamin Moore paint and primer in one- Aurapaint.
I can’t even begin to tell you how impressive this was. We
saved thousands by painting our cabinets instead of replacing them and instead
of hiring out the painting process. Finish Max sprayer is an incredible product
that was easy to use and delivered great results. With so many self inflicted
steps I did this over a few weeks and even with each spray the painter did
great work. You HAVE to make sure you clean it thoroughly each time. I have had
some inconsistent spraying/splotching and I think it is time to replace my
filter. I also had to replace the tube that connects from the sprayer into the
can because I let it sit for too long and the paint dried inside.
The only recommendations I would make would make to this
product would be:
-A fill line on the paint cup to help you know when you are
running low or for a smaller paint job to let you know that you have enough
paint .
- A brush to push through and clean the inside of the paint
tube.
Shortly after painting our cabinets and installing new counters we listed our house for sale. Our painted cabinets along with our fantastic Realtor sold our house fast and for top dollar.

and welcomed the house into 2014.
