SW Pro Classic water borne alkyd paint (xpost DF)
Comments (1)I haven't used SW, but I have used BM's Aura which is waterborne. probably the same thing. I LOVE it. goes on so smoothly. covers well. low VOCs. Self-leveling. I used it on kitchen cabinets initially, but now I use it on everything. Also it is super durable which is especially good on cabinets and the backsplash, which are frequently washed....See Moreneed help desperately - sw pro classic acrylic paint cracking
Comments (5)It looks like the film-build is pretty thick/rough/lumpy, especially where the flash is brightest (mid-left). A sanded/smoothed/primed surface shouldn't look even HALF that rough! It looks to ME anyway, sorta like an orange-peel wall texture. My diagnosis: It's sprayed-on slightly too thick. * OR...was your surface prior to priming that lumpy?! * I noted that you took off glued-slats, and that some glue MAY have been a factor. * BUT...since you sanded and used BIN, that shouldn't be a factor anymore. Secondary...those cheap sprayers are nearly hopeless for a good cabinet finish. There's a reason good sprayers cost a few-hundred $$$... I'd roll on the next coat(s), and immediately lay-off with a good brush. Remedy: * You'll have to scrape off the existing paint IMO. * When you do, note the backside of the chips. Does the primer come off too? Faron...See MorePainting Over Cabinet Coat w/SW Pro Classic
Comments (2)If they are both acrylic paints, it should stick just fine without a primer....See MoreSW's Pro classic. Is it self levelling?
Comments (2)I am the one that suggested Informal Ivory. Here is a pic of it in latex based Super Paint from SW. Doing it over I would likely use Cabinet Coat Paint. If you are painting the inside (shelves etc) you will want to prime, IMO. I used a low nap roller everywhere I could and a good quality brush in the areas a small roller wouldn't reach. BTW - I used Bullseye 1-2-3 Primer first. You will want to clean them througholy first. I do not use TSP and the Bullseye says not too, but use something that doesn't need to be flooded with water- such as Krud Kutter Prepaint TSP Substitute. http://www.krudkutter.com/cleaningwashingproducts.asp Here is a link that might be useful: zinnser diy guide...See Morescrapulous
