The brush is just hitting the paint, it’s not pressing down. I’m someone who loves texture, I also do really appreciate getting a very smooth, even, beautiful finish. This is very very pleasing to do because as you do it the surface becomes smoother and smoother as you feather out. You’ll notice I’m not painting like that, I’m painting with the end of the brush, and I’m painting every direction.

So I’m going to put quite a lot of paint on there now I’m going to spread it out as far as I can. This is the end grain of the wood, and the end grain I always find needs a little bit more paint. I’ve already done one of these cabinets and I know that I’ve used two coats. I’m going to use this brush which is my flat wide brush and get a good supply of paint on there, not too far so about that. I’m gonna add a little bit of, the paint has been open for a little bit so it needs a little bit of water. In a kitchen, you don’t know what splashed on it there could be all sorts of oils all sorts of stuff, so just warm water and a simple soap – no chemicals because you don’t know what that will do to the paint. I’m just going to give you some ideas about what you should do.įirst of all remove all the hardware, then give it a good clean. I’ve done it many times myself and I know many of you have as well. Hello! Painting kitchen cabinets is a fantastic idea.
