RTA cab question

boops2012
10 years ago

I'm guessing the interiors are not finished-ie. clear coated or painted. Is it easier to paint the pieces first before assembly? They will be in white with no glass doors so the interior finish won't be seen.
If the interior surfaces need to be finished - which is better? Just clear coat or prime and paint?

    Maybe depends on the brand; my Conestoga RTA's were finished on the inside with catalyzed varnish, very tough stuff.

    My Barker cabs were also prefinished with clear catalyzed varnish.

    Might want to just check with the cabinet makers you are interested in.

    Ikea cab interiors are also prefinished (melamine)

    Thanks all for the replies. I will be asking the co. But wanted to know my options if it was needed.
