I sprayed it in my garage/workshop not on the job site ,they did not want me spraying in their house.
Also because I always look on the dark side :sad: and it was very tight getting the panel up there ,I did not want to take a chance damaging the doors.
Also just make it easier for future decorating by the client imo

Top job transitboy; they look very impressive and modern. I too wonder why you sprayed the wardrobes but brushed the door fronts; I would have definitely sprayed the doors which must be a great deal easier and quicker than brushing given they have 36 panels between them? Lovely job though and credit to you. Biscuit jointers are brilliant for this kind of work. How did you align the doors to get them all in the same plane? When I installed our wardrobes I used cross strings from corner to corner pulled tight and when the strings touched in the middle I tightened everything up which worked for me and all the doors fit flush?

I notice you've already started installing your kit? Thanks for sharing. :salute:

Kind regards, Col.
Has I answered mailee it would of been quicker.
I only hand painted the last coat mate on the front.So for me to spray the doors on site if allowed ,would really not been much quicker with masking and then cleaning the airless.
If you are talking how I got the units square, nothing as fancy with strings mate. I just screwed wardrobe together check the diagonal's, if not equal just knock one side up or down to they where equal.
Then screwed the 6mm back panel on to keep them square. :thumbleft:

Top job Transitboy. Personally I would have sprayed it all off site and just been careful installing them but everyone to their own. I also just bang them together and check the diagonals as the back panel when rebated keeps them square.
Never enough hours in the day!
