Paint and primer in one? Not always!

When repainting a wall with many repairs and lots of angular light, consider using a primer.


When you have a wall with a sheen to it (non flat) using a primer ensures a uniform finish.  I like to use a primer with some thickness to it that will build texture to the repaired areas as well.
Glidden Gripper was used here in this bathroom for adhesion and top coat performance.

Kitchen Cabinet repaint


As part of a house flip over near Tiny Town road in Clarksville,  I repainted these old oak cabinets to a beautiful white finish.  We replaced the hardware as well.  The basics steps were:


  • Remove doors and hardware.
  • Number each door and hinges if reusing.
  • Scrub the doors with a degreaser and deglosser.
  • Sand lightly clean again. 
  • Oil base primer
Two topcoats of cabinet coat.
