are these cabinets prepped enough

4 years ago

After tsp, acetone, sanding with 220, vacuuming and then wiping down with denatured alcohol my cabinets look shiny even shinier then before but not slick as your hand definitely doesn’t glide acsoss them with out sticking. They weren’t really dirty to begin with as they were washed with Murphy oil soap every 4- 6 months. The acetone really broke down the finish and the sanding created a powdery surface. But I’m worried to prime them now. I’m doing this with a friend who has been a painter for 40 yrs. But he has done mainly walls not cabinets. He says it’s fine. I love the guy but from knowing him I know he often looks for the quickest way in that moment not what’s going to create the best outcome. I don’t know if they are glossy but tacky when you move your hand across because they are just super clean or they aren’t not prepped enough Any thoughts on if they are just super clean and ready to prime like he says or if they need to be roughed up.

I’m using FPOE eurolux universal primer

Thanks
