paint?

14 years ago
What kind of paint did you use on these cabinets? I am having similar built ins put into my dining room. All of my current trim is semi-gloss white dove. However, my contractor suggests making my built ins more "furniture-like" and indicates the person who will build them will spray them. I think this will give an even look but I don't want it to look like kitchen cabinetry. Your thoughts?

    Spraying cabinetry and built-ins is a nice way to go because you avoid brush strokes. I think that whether or not they look "kitchen-y" will really have more to do with the style of the cabinetry than the painting technique.

    Yes, I think these were sprayed rather than painted with a brush.

    Spraying the cabinetry is definitely the way to go. I've been a custom cabinetmaker for 38yrs.. We use M.L. Campbell Magna Max. gives a wonderfully hard finish. Shabby Nest is correct in saying the design makes them look like furniture or kitchen cabinets
