Thinning Cupboard Paint

[craigiemo]

Hi all...

We have just purchased a new house, and rather than replace the kitchen cupboard doors i’m planning to paint them using Dulux Cupboard Paint.

To speed up this process i was looking to purchase a paint sprayer, however this requires the paint to be thinned to an allowable viscosity.

Dulux recommend you don’t thin the paint, but being water based i don’t see the issue? Obviously it applies thinner and may take an additional coat or so, but the time saving in applying should be worth it.

Can anyone comment on why they advise not to thin it?

Cheers

Applying paint with a spray in small spaces such as kitchens is more trouble than it is worth.

Just get a decent synthetic brush and apply by brush.
