Any secret tips for DIY kitchen cabinet painting to look more professional?
My sample size is small, I know, but I have 3 family friends that have DIY self painted their kitchen cabinets. All say they did it properly - clean > sand > prime > paint > multiple coats, with ample resting between each phase. All 3 say they bought high-quality materials. However, all 3 it's quite obvious it's DIY. I can't exactly tell you why, but it's just obvious from a glance it's a DIY. Additionally, after several years, it starts getting a "worn" look and paint is peeling & chipping. If this only happened to 1 friend, I wouldn't think twice, but it's happened to multiple family friends I know What's the secret they are missing? Glancing at some reddit threads, it just seems like professionals have a different level of quality. Do you even end up saving money by DIY? submitted by /u/deejayv2 [link] [comments]
