The Process: Painting Living Room Cabinets and Shelving
Painting built-in furniture isn’t just about grabbing a brush and getting to work. It requires skill, precision, and attention to detail. All of which happen to be what we do best! Here’s how we tackled this project…
- Disassembly: Not everything could be removed, but we were able to bring the doors and shelves back to our spray shop for off-site work. Painting in a controlled environment is a huge benefit for our client, plus allows us to deliver a next-level finish.
- Surface Preparation:
Furniture like this often has nooks, corners, and intricate details that need special attention. We started by cleaning and sanding the shelf to remove the previous finish and any imperfections. This ensured the surface was smooth and ready for paint. - Priming for Durability and Finish Quality
A high-quality primer is key to ensuring the paint adheres well and lasts for years. It also provides a uniform surface, especially when transitioning from dark to light colors (or vice versa). - Precision Painting for a Professional Look
Using premium paints and professional sprayers, we carefully applied each coat to ensure even coverage and a beautiful finish. Again, this is where having a spray shop makes all the difference!
