"Hello. My name is Grady Johnson and I'm a professional painter. Today I represent Expert Village.com. Now it's time to paint the base of the cabinets. Now today we've chosen to paint the base of the cabinets the same color as our walls and our ceiling and therefore we are going to go ahead and do that in this next step so that we stay in the same paint. We are not having to pour up another paint because we are already ready to work with this same color. Now on the faces of the cabinet, it's just like our doors, they're actually trim, so these are going to go the lighter color. Now the inside of the cabinets and on just the face of it, just the back not the cabinet doors, that part is going to go with the wall. So we're going to go ahead and use the same paint we've been working with, the same wall paint which is already wet and we're going to start painting the inside of the cabinets. But first, I want to go ahead and get the inside of these drawers. So just grab one of these and start painting the inside of it. Remember facing it off, we're going to face it all off with the other color. We are going to go ahead and get this covered pretty good. Now this one we primed out with some primer so it's covering real nicely. Try and paint with the grain of the wood. Now we're going to go ahead and paint these faces. Now, when your painting the faces, remember the hinges go with the base and if you get a little on the door don't worry about it because your going to wait until that dries out before we come back and paint that anyway. So go ahead and paint all those hinges in. Make sure and pull the door open and get both sides. We're going to get that good all the way down. Do it right. All right, now the hinges are all good and painted, so then we just even all that out. You see I'm cutting that line out first and then I throw it on up there. That's how you cut, you got that down you got it all. OK, I'm going to work my way on down but this is how you go ahead and paint the base for the cabinets with an oil base paint."
