Three Coats of Base Color. 16 hours of dry time between coats

Crystal is working out some air pockets with a plastic squeegee
Time for Jeff to Start Painting. I found a great "micro" roller that is made specifically for smooth
surfaces. It works fantastic and the end result looks like it was sprayed.
Side one is done and looks FANTASTIC!.. Let's do the rest of the game
Look how CRISP the edges are! Absolutely no Bleed through with this paint mask!
Another Close Up!
Opposite Side. This Premium Paint Mask "Absorbs" the paint and does not leak or bleed through!
Go ahead an spread the paint on. THIS PAINT MASK WILL NOT RUN OR BLEED! Here's the proof!
Side #2 is done! It looks FANTASTIC. Crisp sharp edges. Spot On!
One last shot of other side!
Front Red Stencil!
Once I put a nice coat down, I roll over it several times to "smooth" it out
Front is done! Looks Great!
Day 8
June 23rd
Applied White Stencils and completed White cabinet color
Note: Premask on stencil insures that the stencil is applied with perfect alignment everytime.
Crystal is working out some minor air bubbles with the plastic squeegee
Apply some painter's tape around stencil in case you get sloppy with the roller ;-)
Once Stencil is in place, remove transfer tape and start painting!!!!
I put a pretty thick coat of white then rolled over it several times to "smooth" the coat.
CABINET IS NOW DONE!!!
Day 9

Completely Stripped and Prepared Backbox For Base Color
Note: After paint is removed, I used 200 grit sandpaper to prepare surface for painting
A lot of patience is required for this phase. All of the paint will come off. It just takes time!
