If it works for you then use it. Painting over high quality paints/primers will certainly help make any topcoat look better regardless of the tool you use to apply so that is a factor for sure.

Thanks paintguy! That makes me feel better. As they're drying, they're still looking really good (if I do say so myself!). :)

Just out of curiosity, what kind of wood? Oak? Did you use long strokes or short strokes?

I'm getting ready to do my cabinets too. I did wall paneling with a brush as my prep for the kitchen cabinets, but never thought to use a foam brush. I knew a foam roller would leave a bit of a stipple, so I avoided it. I'd love to hear more about your technique before the "big" project.

Thanks!

Kathe,

Yes, oak cabinets. I wouldn't say I used long or short strokes - just whatever I needed to cover. One thing I did notice is that I really felt like I had more control over the paint. It felt so much easier for me to paint with the lightweight foam than with any brush I've used. No stipple either. HTH!

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

Kathe,

Let me know what you think. Good luck!
