Question:
What's the best applicator to use to paint kitchen cabinets? Can you offer advice about what kind of brush or roller I should use?
Answer:
The first thing you need to do is degloss the cabinets or paint isn't going to get good adhesion. Once the prep work (the most important part) is done, then it's up to you to get the look you want. A brush is always going to result in a brush stroke look while a roller will give you a more even finish. If you have a raised panel door, you will need a brush to get into the nooks and crannies, then you can finish with a roller. A sprayer will give you the most even finish. Take the handles off the doors. then spray. This will give you the best look (just be careful the spray paint doesn't run).
