Hi all,
I have built my own kitchen units and now want to finish them with an oil based paint. I have done this all before and the results were ok. However, I have recently looked in some bespoke kitchen showrooms at the finish on their kitchens and would love to be able to get the finish as good as the pro's. The showrooms that I have visited all stated that the paint finish on their units were all achieved by hand. So I should be able to get it as good. The problem is how? The main difference is the sheen. they told me that the final coat was a lacquer. I have looked high and low and cannot find anything. I would appreciate it if any one could answer the following:
What is the process from the start?
When they say Lacquer do they mean varnish?
