Preparation stage
In order to achieve great finish which will last the preparation stage is very important.
It does usually involves removing items that are not being painted, de-greasing surface, sanding and filling all imperfections. Also, taping areas that are not being painted.
We are offering dustless sanding, so no dust around is guaranteed.
Priming stage
Once furniture is sanded and dust-free we usually put two coats of Isomat Block Primer or Zinsser B-I-N shellac primer if needed because of its unique features and great adherence to almost any surface. Also, it can be painted with either oil or water based paints without need of undercoat.
Light sanding with 320 grit sand paper usually needed.
At least two coats of primer applied. We currently use German brand Caparol Haftprimer for it’s unique adherence abilities.
Painting stage
There are few options when it comes to paint kitchen units. You can choose between MATT, SATIN, SEMI-GLOSS or GLOSS.
We apply 2-3 top coats most of the time and sand between coats too.
Most paints cure in about 30 days so we would recommend not to clean painted furniture for few weeks.
