Instructions / Assembly

Do not attempt to apply the NUVO™ Cabinet Paint in one thick coat because it may adversely

effect the coating’s performance because it’s designed for two coats -

NOTE: It’s optimal to have your room’s temperature between 65F and 77F. Be sure to turn off any

ceiling fans to prevent blowing dust -

A. Paint your cabinet frames – Begin by using the Kit’s included paint brush

and paint the NUVO™ Cabinet Paint around the exterior hinges on the frame–

Next - open the cabinet doors and drawers in the area and complete painting

the rest of the frame by using the Kit’s included brush or roller –

NOTE: for best results, use up and down brush strokes on the uprights of

your frame, and use side-to-side strokes on the horizontal sections -

NOTE – KEEP CABINET DOORS & DRAWERS OPEN AFTER PAINTING

THE FRAME TO ALLOW THE PAINT TO DRY SO THE DOORS DON’T STICK -

Repeat this across all of your cabinets –

B. Paint doors and drawers – Next - paint the backside of each door first –

Don’t paint their side edges yet because you’ll paint these when you paint their

front side - Keep the doors open while painting by holding them from the front side -

NOTE: it’s not necessary to paint the backside of your drawers because

they’re typically not visible when opened -

By the time you’ve finished painting the backside of your last door – the first one

is probably dry to the touch. If so – then you may begin by painting the front and

side edges of your doors and drawers.

For best results – it’s optimal to paint the front of “Raised Panel” doors and drawers

by following the below sequence . . .

a. Paint the recessed ‘valleys’ first with the Kit’s included paint brush – Use up and down

brush strokes on the vertical sections and sideway strokes on the horizontal pieces -

NOTE: watch for drips and pooling of paint in the corners - and brush out -

b. Next - paint the side edges of the door with the Kit’s included roller or brush – Be sure to

remove most of the paint from the roller before painting the edges because it will minimize

excess paint build up on their back sides of the door -

c. Finally – use the roller to paint the face and raised panels of the doors and drawers. Again

– use up and down roll strokes on the vertical sections and side strokes on the horizontals

Be sure to watch for runs or excess build up on the corners – side edges - and the back sides of

your doors. If you see any – gently brush them out immediately -

And finally – keep the doors and drawers open during your project to allow them to dry and not

stick to the frames -

By the time you’ve finished painting the front side of your final door or drawer – it’s very likely

that enough time has elapsed – 2 hours - for you to go back where you started and repeat the

above process for a second coat –

C. Apply Second Coat - Repeat the above process -

NOTE: If you see any thin areas after your Second Coat - allow the

section to dry for 2 hours and then re-coat the entire section or

entire door because “spot” re-coats will create a noticeable

difference in gloss -

You may apply a 3

thin coat if needed to hide very dark wood or paint -
