My kitchen disaster
Comments (2)You poor thing! I always thought Bosch was the best, so sorry for your troubles. I am sort of proud of your insurance company for taking care of you. Not sure our's would be so helpful. You know, couldn't be nicer while telling you to take a hike and there is nothing they can do for you. Many happy meals to you back in your kitchen!...See MoreKitchen Paint Disaster - Help please
Comments (9)OH FOR THE LOVE of RED PAINT ... OMG Been there - paid for it. The gray Primer is a Joke. It has nothing to do with a color primer .. What is needed is a Sheepskin Roller. How did I find that out .. UM my Paint disaster in my NEW renovated kitchen. I chose a Ben Moore color called " Night Flower". Its a deep red magenta color. Deepest of deep. All new primed drywall and new ceiling. Ceiling was to be original that was white plaster from yesteryear - " yet a story to be told" within renovating a house built in 1924. That I am not wanting to talk about. Anyway - UM Red Paint is the hardest to work with due to the inconsistency of of dye. I spent myself over 12 hours trying to paint and all that came up was a room that looked like a Cow had been murdered. Roller marks, streaks ..OMG it was Sick and I spent so many hours painting I wanted to be that Murdered Cow. I spared no expense on the paint - no expense on the tools. And it came out looking like a Room of Bloody Hell. So I had to call in a friend and he Used a Sheep skin Roller and It worked. I changed though the Paint. I went to Pittsburgh Paint and had them Match the Ben Moore Color " Night Flower" and they did Match it. My Friend painted my Kitchen with the Sheep skin roller and it finally came out without flaws - the color. before - My paint job - pic taken more than likely at 1 am - Me in pure agony because nothing I did could make it look right. after It seemed it was all within the actual Roller - the sheep skin roller made all the difference with the RED paint. Not saying a Sheep Skin roller is necessary for interior painting - Just RED paint. I hope this helps you....See MoreBathroom vanity finish disaster....please advise!
Comments (5)Orange peel is typically the result of improper painting technique, and is caused by the quick evaporation of thinner, incorrect spray gun setup (e.g., low air pressure or incorrect nozzle), spraying the paint at an angle other than perpendicular, or applying excessive paint. Staining maple is problematic. Maple blotches easily, meaning getting even color is difficult. As much as I dislike gel stains(they are basically just modified paint), a gel stain for your situation may be the best short term solution. Try to find a cabinet shop or even a paint shop--some auto shops have people who can do wood....See MorePlease advise! REFINISHING brand new white kitchen cabinets (tears)
Comments (5)“Refinishing” is more expensive than replacing. Repainting with cabinet conversion varnish averages 7-9K for an average sized kitchen, and is incredible difficult and smelly in an occupied home. I’d advise adjusting the other colors in the room to go with them instead of fighting them, and keep them as is....See Morejanine09
