Yes, it sucks! My brother thinks he can polish it out, do you have experience with that?

i have tried polishing it out, but then surface gets pretty dull. don't know whether you have to treat it with some kind of wax afterwards to get it shiny again, i'm no expert when it comes to paint jobs!
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

We know a guy who used to polish cars for a living and he's going to take a look at it. I really hope we can get the dust and other shit out, because the painting (just one thick layer, applied with professional rollers) went surprisingly well. Here another picture:

from the pictures it looks fantastic! when the guy comes over and manages to get everything out leaving a flat glossy surface behind, please let us know exactly how he did it ...

A friend of mine told me to drop a lot of water on the ground in order to prevent dust deposit on the fresh paint, but I suppose it's easier to do in a warehouse than in your room?  ;D

Hahaha, yes it is! Got a wooden floor, so that's not going to work.

Just painted the other side. Let's hope it will be a bit better then the first, the kitchens is supposed to be dust free atm (if that's possible).



Fingers crossed!  ;)

How did the cap testing work out ?

Looks great now, to prevent dust, hang cab on ceiling, paint underneath ;););)

Hahaha, yes, wet paint, i'll post another picture when it's dry..  ;)

About the other (dusty) side: we let the polishing guy take a look and he told us that the dust is already in the paint/varnish so impossible to get out.  >:(

yes, these are all phone pictures. The problem is you can feel the dust by hand or if you take a closer look.
This side is better then the first, but if you want to reach superully quality i suggest you try another method like vinyl or spry painting the cabinet. My brother is a bit less anal ;), and i must admit it looks pretty good.
