So I began working on the coach again!! FINALLY! After a lengthy hip replacement, I now am painting my cabinets... Should I scuff them and apply Krylon Fusion Paint directly or primer first?

Can I use a electric sander or is hand sanding better?

Thanks,

Steve

I'd scuff them with 220 grit on a random orbit sander. Then prime and paint. Prime in a different light color so you can see and be sure the krylon is covering it all. Hopefully goes without saying but you don't want to spray those inside the coach or near open flames.

Ok so I should prime first... Should I use Kilz Original Primer?

These are laminate cabinets...

Thanks,

Steve

Wash them first. Get any grease off. TSP is good.
