Cabinet doors installed!

We re-installed the cabinet doors. I made the doors a little darker than the bases, which happens sometimes since I did the doors in my shop and the bases on site, so I toned the bases on a few side panels and on the crown around the top. They look great! I will try to take some better pictures, but here are some of cabinets. From white to>>>>>>>>>not!

Cool project, Jill. I love Zar urethane, so good to work with and the finish is buttery. Was the ProShot involved in any part of this project? I'd love to see footage of how you use that tool in your line of work.

Well Scott, it may be a little while before I can hold my phone in one hand to shoot the video of myself spraying some doors! I had hoped to use the proshot for the finish on these doors, but the sprayer came up missing in transit, (quite literally). So I had to wait to use it on another cabinet job I had waiting that was going to be all paint, with no woodgraining. It worked beautifully for those, like a factory finish. I will use it for base coats for faux work,and top coats, and with some practice, I'm sure I'll see what faux designs I can achieve with it. Next week I'll be spraying some crown molding that I am fauxing in antique gold-we'll see how it likes metallic paint!
