[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When painting your Naperville kitchen cabinets, you have a variety of tools at your disposal—this includes everything from your basic roller and brush, to certain products that will make your life much easier and the final results much more impressive. In this article, we’re going to discuss some of the most commonly overlooked painting products that you can use to great effect during your DIY kitchen cabinet painting project in Naperville.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”1. Orbital Sanders” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”post_inner_title”][vc_column_text]Sanding can be one of the most labor-intensive processes in the entire painting project if done by hand. If you want to make your job much easier, and if you foresee future projects where you will need to sand a surface, you should consider purchasing an orbital sander. There are many options on the market, from basic models, to cutting-edge professional sanders. You’ll probably want something in the lower to mid-range if you plan to use this sander in your home for semi-regular projects. Not only will an orbital sander make your life that much easier, it will also lead to a higher quality finish.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”2. The Right Sanding Discs” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”post_inner_title”][vc_column_text]Once you’ve purchased an orbital sander, you’ll want to buy a set of sanding discs. For the purposes of kitchen cabinet painting, you generally want something in the 120 to 150 grit range. 100 grit discs will also be acceptable, but anything lower than that is too coarse and could lead to surface damage. However, if you want to make your life much easier, we recommend looking for mesh-type discs. These discs are much more effective at stripping paint, and they can ensure a better finish.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”3. A Dust Extractor” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”post_inner_title”][vc_column_text]This is a bit of a luxury tool, but if you’ve ever sanded a painted or wooden surface, you know that there will be a considerable amount of dust when you’re finished. A dust extractor is a tool that can hook up directly to your orbital sander and suck out the dust as it is generated. However, keep in mind that the sander and the dust extractor have to be compatible, so it’s best that you do some research before buying the two items. Another option would be to buy a vacuum cleaner hose head that can be fitted with sanding paper (yes, those exist). It is a much more affordable option, and it can be just as effective at picking up the dust.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”4. High Quality Brushes” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”post_inner_title”][vc_column_text]The type of paint brush you use during your Naperville kitchen cabinet painting project can make a world of difference. Sure, it may be tempting to save some money and go for the lower quality stuff—after all, it’s just a paint brush. However, if you decide to go with this route, you will get a less than perfect finish. Low quality brushes will often leave marks in the paint, which can be noticeable even at a distance. So, we strongly recommend that you invest in a quality brush.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”5. Brush Cleaning Solution” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”post_inner_title”][vc_column_text]If you’ve bought a set of high-quality brushes, there’s no point in letting them go to waste. Brush cleaning solutions are perfect if you plan to use a brush more than once, and they can be effective even after the paint has dried in the brush’ bristles.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Contact a Naperville Kitchen Cabinet Painting Company” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”post_inner_title”][vc_column_text]you’ve If you do not have the time for DIY kitchen cabinet painting in Naperville and would like some professional assistance, Prime Time Painting is the company to call.
