Paint All Wood Components

What happens in this clip

After sanding, apply several coats of paint to all the wood components. The video shows paint being stirred, indicating the use of a ready-mixed paint. Use a paint brush to apply an even coat to all surfaces of the assembled frame and the individual plywood shelves/sides. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. The creator mentions waiting a full day after painting before proceeding with the final assembly, which is essential for proper paint curing and durability.

Goal: Apply a protective and aesthetic finish to the wood pieces

What's used

Tools

• Paint Brush
• Paint sprayer
• Paint Stirrer

Materials

• Paint Possibly Glidden or Behr (partially visible)
• Polyurethane clear coat
• Sanded Wood Components

About the full video

This project details the creation of a custom built-in wine rack designed to fit an awkward kitchen corner that cannot accommodate standard cabinets. The process involves precise cutting of wood boards and plywood, utilizing a pocket hole jig system for hidden joinery, sanding all components smooth, painting, and finally assembling the unit before installing it in its designated kitchen space.

Step 9 of 10: Finish the Unit

Once the glue has fully dried and the unit is assembled, apply your chosen finish. Start with a primer if painting, then apply two coats of paint. If staining, apply the stain evenly, wipe off excess, and then apply a protective topcoat (polyurethane, varnish). Follow the manufacturer's instructions for drying times between coats.
