PREP*Before Beginning, see surface instructions based on the surface of your cabinet, Guide to surface prep.(link) Prepare surface as outlined in Surface Prep section. Prepare area to be painted by taping off walls and areas that you don’t want to get paint on. Use plastic and cloth drop cloths to protect floors, counter tops and appliances.After all Cabinet doors, bases and drawers have been sanded and cleaned according to your surface as noted in surface guide, begin painting. MIXMix One Gallon Neutral White Set Coat with 4 oz Earth Brown Colorant. Mix well with paint stick or use a hand mixer dedicated for this purpose. With the Use of Set Coat, you do not need to also prime the cabinet first. This product acts as a primer diving deep into the surface. If using a sprayer, you need to thin this product with water about 10-20%. Test until the mixture drips one drip per second from a paint stick. (See section on sprayer tips for help)
APPLYTo begin "Painted and Glazed, Kitchen Cabinet, Instructions" Pour some of this mixture into a small paint tray. When brushing, paint the recessed areas of the cabinet doors first with a cut/slanted paint brush painting in one direction. Then complete the process with the foam roller on the flat spaces. Be sure to saturate the roller, but offload excess paint on tray so you have no drips. Do the same process on the bases, flat spaces and drawers.***Hint, it is not necessary to empty all the cabinets of their contents, just push items away from edge and tape the inner trim areas to paint neatly. It is also not necessary to paint inside the box areas of the cabinets. Let Dry Fours Hours or preferably overnight. Apply second coat in the same manner. Mix 1 part of Van Dyke Brown Colorant to 4 parts Aqua Glaze. Apply a thin coat of glaze with the 2” Chip brush going in the direction of the grain of the wood. Use the 4”chip brush in the larger areas like flat spaces at the cabinet ends or large pantry doors. Cover the entire door with glaze. While the glaze is wet, remove the desired amount (usually about 80 %) with a ball of cheese cloth or rag. I like to use Cheesecloth for a first pass and then finish the details with a rag. This allows the glaze the gather in the recessed spaces. You may leave more or less on for a custom kitchen cabinet look. The cheesecloth allows some glaze to remain all over in a mottled look while the rag will remove most of the glaze for a more subtle look. When the desired look is achieved, let dry and repeat on each area.
TOPCOATAfter this has dried overnight, apply top coat of AquaGuard in the same manner with brush and roller. Allow this to dry at least 24 hours before using cabinetry or replacing hardware.
