Redoing / Touching up Trim 42-PT95
#5

Arran,

The Gojo method is exactly what I was planning to do before I made a decision about stripping.

Ron here is your quote

Quote:for best results, strip and prime before painting. For the body of the cabinet, you probably won't need to prime if you spray the entire cabinet with Mohawk Medium Walnut first to get the cabinet the proper color, then once that dries well, carefuly mask the body off, leaving only the bottom "feet" exposed, and paint those with your Dupli-Color. Finish off with a few coats of clear Deft. You can prime and paint the "handle" separately, finish with a few coats of clear, let dry thoroughly, and then reassemble to the top of the cabinet body.

I have looked at your link and can find Mohawk's Almond or Light Antique Ivory for the trim, but not "Mohawk Medium Walnut" is it in another location in their page [I have looked].

Also with regard to "Deft", the only kind that I saw online was of the brush on variety. Is this what you are talking about. I have purchase what I think is clear spray on laquer, is this acceptable ?

What exactly would I use to prime ? i.e. type of primer. Is there a "lacquer" based primer.
