Dove White Modernization...

Cabinetry Colour: OC-17 Dove White
Finish: S/G Waterborne Lacquer


Client chose to update from the 12 year old maple
existing - butter pecan stain/clear finish - to a
modern off-white in OC-17 Dove White.

Finished in AcromaPro S/G Lacquer, the world's
best waterborne finish.

All cabinet doors received a thorough off-site
cleaning,sanding and 4 coat process  to provide
a nice long-term duty cycle.

Cabinets were still in very good structural shape
and required a thorough mechanical and hand
sanding to "cut" the varnish and allow surfacer
primer to adhere properly to bare wood.

The sanding was absolutely necessary as
the varnish clear coat was approximately
5-6 mils thick, decayed/sunfaded and we
also detected that they were most likely
washed with either Pine Sol or Murphy's
Oil Soap, two cleaning products which cause
huge pinholing and fisheye issues if not
removed by sanding. Animal fat triglycerides
are the no. 1. cause of poor surface appearance
and adhesion problems for those who
spray cabinetry professionally.

Kickplate and Corner Glass Cabinet insides
were done in a smart black (SW6258 Tricorn).
We try to get clients to get darker accent colours
for kickplates as it is a sharp look and conceals
foot scuffs as opposed to white.

Existing hardware retained in a nickel finish.

Wall colour by client: Vintage Wine (Moore's)
