A little update on the painting project. I opted to not spray the cabinets as I did not want to deal with the over spray in my finished garage. So, I power washed them outside and the next day I took one cabinet and roughed up the paint with the DA sander. These cabinets are large, 4'x4'x16"...

I stopped at Farm & Fleet today and picked up a quart of Massey Furgeson Grey, a smooth foam 4" long roller, and a rattle can of white and red for stripes. I'll power wash the cabinets, hit them with 3m scuff pads and roll them out. I'll do the inside of the door and see how it comes out...

Thanks for the encouragement! I tend to be labeled as the "How" guy. Once I get an end vision in mind the challenge is to figure out How to get there. I like the idea of a durable and mirror like finish, but need a little more info on the How. Will this approach work with the rustoleum product...

I was really hoping the farm paint would be a good solution. Color selection is pretty much limited that's right, farm implements and equipment. I would have one choice in a grey. Might work but would want to add some red trim me thinks. I like the idea of the roller and I could practice on the...

I have used their appliance epoxy in rattle cans. I found it to be quite durable and yes you must wait the 2-3 days between top coats. Don't ask how I know. What could possibly happen? I appreciate all of the suggestions. I want to get this project started and completed in the next couple...

When these cabinets are installed they will be there for a very long time. Given that I am inclined to finish them just like painting a car. I am not sure I will follow all of your steps as there are numerous holes drilled in the side panels; most of those will be covered when I hang them side...

I am pretty active on another forum and have posted many photos. I am always amazed at what people find and comment about in the photos. Great eye! Although it does not work as good as it should.

The cabinets are in good shape, some signs of rust on edges. Thought if I was going to paint them I would do it with a good finish. After thinking about it some more I am leaning towards an auto paint. I don't need high gloss but would like a nice smooth finish so light sand and primer then good...

I picked up some metal wall cabinets from Craig's list this week. They are a bit older, in good shape but I would like to freshen them up before I install them. I thought I would clean and then lightly sand them before painting. I have a touch up spray gun and compressor. thought I would use a...

Thank you for the response. Couple questions for you. I was hoping to use this motor without any duct work as a way to move air in the garage, as in suspend it above the floor from the ceiling and let er blow. Do I understand that once the motor is started with a resistance, that it will run...

Hi Everyone, I was able to salvage a good squirrel cage fan from my son-in-laws furnace when they replaced their HVAC system. I have a large garage with a high ceiling and a modine heater in it. Plan on moving some air in the cold months to keep the floor level warmer. I am handy with wiring...

I am considering a lift for my garage and would like to hear from those who have a 4-post lift and how they use it for repairs. My garage will be heated and I will have my tools and primitive shop set up in it. I have a 74 Alfa Romeo spider I have just finished restoring and a second one that I...
