Who This Kit Is For
This kit is built for the painting stage of the cabinet project. It is a great fit if your cabinets are already properly prepped and you want a straightforward brush-and-roll setup. If you still need to clean and degloss first, start with Clean & Degloss. If you have oak cabinets and want a smoother finish, go to Fill Oak Grain before painting.
