That's brilliant that vid and very helpful. I really did a crap paint job on my first cab as I didn't have a clue! Definitely learned something here and the next cab will be better because of it. Thanks! :cheers:

Thanks fellas, I'll continue to update and add to this thread with anything to do with cabinet painting that I think will be of use. :cheers:

Maybe a noob question but how do you know when you've sanded enough? Especially on the higher grits when (at least for me) its hard to tell a difference in how it feels.

It's a good question, I know exactly what you mean. With 600 grit it's fairly straightforward. Sand until all the orange peel type texture is gone. The paint surface should look like dull smooth plastic.
With higher grits - I use 1500 and 2000 you are really polishing the paint work. The paint removed is very minimal you need to keep wet sanding until the surface has a slightly dull shine to it. Then (and only then) it's time to move to a liquid polish. :cheers:
