Question on Painting Technique

tshizzle.com:
thanks for the tips

And actually as the one poster said - now that I think about it, having it with a slight texture does seem to hide the fingerprints real nicely.  

Since I t-molded it up and installed the light and marquee, Im actually really starting to like it more and more.  I probably wont mess with it anymore, but on a future cab (already thinking more ;) ) I might try borrowing a nice sprayer and seeing what happens

heres a little more close-up pic of my baby:

BTW one tip not mentioned, but can save coats/headaches...

tint your primer...  Get your primer/sealer tinted close to the final shade as you can... I primed my cabinet with grey oil kilz, and did two coats of black oil eggshell (or was it semigloss) I forget...

*shrug* ymmv but i learned about tinting primer the hard way when I painted a half bath deep red once... like 8 coats... insane...

Excellent tip!!!  I learned the hard way on a project many years back.  My Kilz ends up being a shade of gray after tinting it with black.
