Before you start painting, the surface must be smooth. Start off with a universal undercoat and sand lightly when the undercoat is done. Dust off the piece to be painted, ensuring no dust left from sanding is on the surface.

The finish is in the brush, and a little patients with smooth strokes. If it is a big flat surface get a sponge roller, and apply a few light coats with drying in between, instead of trying to just paint one thick coat, a common mistake.

In between every coat of enamel, use a fine grit (200-300) to sand out any imperfections and paint again.

Repeat until satisfied with the finish.

Using a Paint Gun?

If you follow a few tips, a paint gun can make your paint job easier. Paint guns require consistency. You must always keep the distance between the paint gun and surface being painted the same for the entire pass. Don�t stop once you start painting; finish the entire section or wall. Make two passes with the paint gun. For larger areas, begin in the corner and make a regular zigzag pattern to prevent uneven coats and to produce a smooth finish. Paint dries fast. Clean the equipment quickly and thoroughly to keep your paint gun in good working order.

Tips on how to paint over bathroom cabinets that have alrealy been primed and painted?

The best way to re-do cabinets is to strip old finish off completely, the reason for this is sometimes its hard to tell if the old finish is water based or oil based, I purpose never to mix the two. If the finish your dealing with is a factory finish it may be oil based, the best way to tell is to pick a small inconspicuous area and apply some oil based paint and wait a week or so to see if you have any peeling, cracking, or bubbling, if not, then scuff the surface with 220 grit sandpaper to give the surface some tooth, and paint. (spraying will give you a better finish)
