Instructions

Spray Paint Project Steps

Remove cabinet doors.
Using an all purpose cleaner/degreaser, wipe down the entire cabinet to remove all dirt and grime. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow to dry.
If you do not want to paint the interior of your cabinet, remove the shelves. Mask the interior area with paper and tape to secure.
Applying in a well-ventilated area, begin painting at the top of the cabinet, holding the can of Gloss Vintage Gray 6-8 inches from the surface and paint using a sweeping side-to-side motion with slight overlap.
Allow paint to dry for 30-60 seconds.
Continue to apply light, multiple coats, waiting 30-60 seconds between each, until you are satisfied with the appearance.
CREATING THE PINSTRIPE ON THE DOORS:
- To create the pinstripe design on the front of the doors, measure from the edges of the doors and mark distances with a pencil. You may want to draw a line using your ruler and pencil that you can follow with your 1-1/2" painters tape.
- Once you've marked off the measurements for the pinstripe, carefully apply the painters tape, ensuring the it remains straight and follows your measurements. You may want to prop the doors next to each other to check on the alignment of the pinstripe across the two doors.
- Press the tape firmly to the surface, making sure the edges are adhered.
- Begin painting at the top of the doors, holding the can of Gloss Vintage Gray 6-8 inches from the surface and paint using a sweeping side-to-side motion with slight overlap.
- Allow paint to dry for 30-60 seconds.
- Continue to apply light, multiple coats, waiting 30-60 seconds between each, until you are satisfied with the appearance.
- Once you have achieved the appearance you want, carefully remove the painters tape while the paint is still fresh, within 20 minutes.
Krylon^® Fusion All-In-One^® dries in 25 minutes or less, and can be handled in about one hour.
Once fully dried, put the inside shelving back into place and reattach the doors.
