Cabinet paint job question

Hello, I recently got my kitchen cabinets hand painted by a painter that came recommended to me by my real estate agent. He did not use any spray for the cabinets, as I thought he would like in most of the videos out there. He used rollers and brush to hand paint the cabinets. I believe he adequately degreased, sanded, primed, and painted 3 coats. He used Sherwin Williams’ Urethane paint. He did do a good job, overall; I hardly see any stroke marks or brush marks, but something feels a little missing in the final look. I am wondering if another layer of cap sprayed paint of the same paint that was used for hand painting them might make them look more put together. I am looking for a more saturated or color dense look… almost factory but not fully factory look. Thank you for any advice on this. This is my first time having cabinets done. Would a fourth coat of cap spray of the same paint help? As my painter does not use spray and does not have a sprayer, I will have to hire someone else to do the work, if it’s possible. submitted by /u/Meowmushulieu [link] [comments]
