Ok, so I've got some nice Omega kitchen cabinets that are really awesomely built. 3/4" all plywood... dovetailed... fan freakin tastic. But, the color sucks.
It's a factory finish which is awesome quality but I really want to make them a darker color.
Here's what I'm thinking of doing. I'm going to buy a decent air compressor ~70gal. or so, get a spray gun for it.
As far as striping the cabinets, I'm going to use a chemical stripper (which type I do not know, suggestions?) sand them again, stain, and polyurathane. 5 coats of oil based poly?
You guys have tips, suggestions, brands or stain, poly, stripper? First major re-finishing project I'm doing. I've done some decent wood projects before and they turned out nice, just never anything at this scale. (probably 20 cabinets) I have some trim peices I'm going to practice on before I rip into the cabinets just so I can get the hang of how all of this will react.
Thanks as always!
