Painting Cabinets with the HomeRight Finish Max
I have been painting cabinets for several years now (both professionally and before that for friends and family members) I have experience with several different methods, from brushes to rollers to many different kinds of sprayers. Last year however I was introduced to the HomeRight Finish Max and let me tell you is has become my absolute favorite way to paint cabinets, chairs and well just about everything!
The HomeRight Finish Max gives such a flawless finish and leaves cabinets smooth and free of brushstrokes.
And not only can you use it for a big job like cabinets you can also use it for smaller jobs like painting a dining room table and chairs, dressers, walls and well anything you can think of!
For this particular painting job my client had great cabinets but wasn’t happy with the way they were starting to have an “orange” glow to them.
After going over colors she chose a creamy taupe for her main cabinets and a grayish green for her island.
I removed all the doors and brought them to my shop.
Each door was cleaned throughly with a degreaser and then both sides were sprayed with two coats of paint.
I use a chalk type paint that is easily thinned with water so it runs through the sprayer very easily. I then seal the cabinets with wax or clear topcoat depending on the clients preference. Topcoat runs easily through the Finish Max as well.
As you can see the Finish Max provides a smooth finish and eliminates any brushstrokes or roller marks that can be caused when using other methods.

I would love to win one of these – I have wanted one since I first heard about them. I would paint a dresser I have for my first project.
I have so many painting jobs that need done in my house, living room, hallway, bedrooms, kitchen. This would make things soooo much easier. I haven’t started these projects because I know its going to be sooo much work.
That could be my kitchen! Cupboards are identical! Amazing to see the transformation. This may be a stupid question but how did you paint the remainder of the cupboards? Were you able to spray them?
Hi Sheila-as far as the skeletons, I brish painted them. You could certainly use the sprayer to spray them but in this instance I brush painted them. 🙂
Thanks!

My cabinets are screaming for the finish max. I really like the colors on the DIY paint. I think that I would paint just about anything and everything. The first thing would be furniture and cabinets, I would try it on metal and maybe some glass projects.

Hi Robin,
Here you go-http://farmfreshvintagefinds.myshopify.com/collections/general-finishes-milk-paints-and-stains/products/general-finishes-basil-milk-paint
Thanks!
Do you only spray the doors or can you use the sprayer indoors as well? Does the sprayer have instructions on how much to water down the paint?
Hi Joy,
You can use the sprayer inside, I just don’t because I’m a very fast hand painter. Yes the sprayer comes with instructions and a viscosity cup to use when mixing your paint and water.
Thank you for reading!
