Smoother Coverage. When professionals use a paint sprayer to paint cabinets , there’s no worry about leaving behind those unsightly brush strokes that come when they use a paintbrush or roller . Paint sprayers leave a nice even finish that doesn’t typically require touch up or sanding after the fact.
YES! These paint sprayers can spray chalk paint , latex paint , oil based paint , primers, and even stain (yep, I’ve tried it). I would recommend only spraying water based paint out of them, to keep the cleanup from being tedious. But you CAN spray multiple different products.

As it turns out, not only can you spray paint wood without sanding – you can also spray paint pressed wood/particle board (which some parts of this desk were) and even that papery cardboard panel on the back. All of it you guys. Just spray paint ALL of it. Then let it dry and do it again.
Here are 5 Ways To Paint Furniture Without Sanding : USE A MINERAL PAINT . Mineral paint is very similar to chalk style paints in that no prep or prime is required. USE MILK PAINT + BONDING AGENT. As I already mentioned, the antique desk in this post was not prep- sanded . USE A BONDING PRIMER. USE A LIQUID SANDER /DEGLOSSER.
Then, if you choose to use a sprayer anyway, you’ll still need to buy more paint : Sprayers use about 33 percent more paint than rollers do . For a fraction of the cost, rolling paint is the budget-friendly way to go.
Apply a coat of high-quality primer to all surfaces of the cabinets . The point of using a primer is to ensure that the paint sticks to the surface better, which will result in a long-lasting finish . Let the primer dry overnight, then carefully flip the drawers and doors over an repeat the process.
Try to limit brush marks by painting with the grain of the wood. While on the trim boards, using the foam roller and brush paint only one side of drawers and doors. Next, using the same brush and foam roller apply a coat of Cabinet Enamel to the base cabinets . DRY OVERNIGHT and clean your brush .
Spray painting is faster than brush painting . Most spray paint is oil-based and provides a more durable finish than latex paint . Spray paint dries much more quickly than brushed-on paint . Spray paint is easier to apply on furniture with spindles, small pieces, or intricate nooks and crannies.
That means spray painting is the fastest way to paint large areas where you don’t need so much accuracy, like an exterior wall ; roller painting is good for interior walls where you need to avoid getting paint on other surfaces; and brushes help you do the detail work.
For a paint sprayer that’s consistent and affordable, go with the Graco Magnum Project Painter Plus Paint Sprayer . It has a highly adjustable stream of air and it covers large areas with ease. If you prefer a model that has a built-in cart, though, we recommend the Graco Magnum X7 Electric TrueAirless Sprayer.
Spray the walls before the ceiling. Allow the wall paint to fully dry, cover the walls with tape and plastic, and spray the ceiling. Masking walls is a lot easier than masking a ceiling upside down, if you were to spray the ceiling before the walls.
