Painting Cabinets

Howdy everyone. I have some cabinets in our home that are the old 90s looking cabinets. I’m trying to refinish them versus replace. I’ve done the below steps: Degreased using Krud Kutter Sanded with 80 grit then 220 (cabinets had a little damage) Primed 1st coat using shellac primer Sanded with 220 grit Primed 2nd coat Sanded with 220 grit Painted 1st coat using Behr cabinet semi-gloss Painted 2nd coat My question is how glossy are these supposed to be? Mine feel more like a flat or eggshell than semigloss. Way less smooth than my trim, etc. I’m not sure if it could be due to my sprayer, left over dust, or something else. Any tips? submitted by /u/DisastrousPick3629 [link] [comments]

Howdy everyone. I have some cabinets in our home that are the old 90s looking cabinets. I’m trying to refinish them versus replace.

I’ve done the below steps:

  1. Degreased using Krud Kutter
  2. Sanded with 80 grit then 220 (cabinets had a little damage)
  3. Primed 1st coat using shellac primer
  4. Sanded with 220 grit
  5. Primed 2nd coat
  6. Sanded with 220 grit
  7. Painted 1st coat using Behr cabinet semi-gloss
  8. Painted 2nd coat

My question is how glossy are these supposed to be? Mine feel more like a flat or eggshell than semigloss. Way less smooth than my trim, etc.

I’m not sure if it could be due to my sprayer, left over dust, or something else.

Any tips?
