How To Paint Doors Without Brush Marks.

Brush marks, whether on oil or water based paints or varnish are caused when the paint did not flow out properly as it was being applied. Reasons for that range from paint too thick, conditions too warm etc causing the coating to dry too quickly or before it flowed out fully.

A new trend is repainting kitchen cabinets from the darker wood look to warm creams etc. When you know the tricks, this is a very simple and low cost job. Here it is in a nutshell:

Wash all cabinet doors thoroughly using a good cleaner like sugar soap. Rinse and allow to dry. NO SANDING REQUIRED… phew!!! Thank God for that.
