Supplies for Painting a Kitchen

Video Transcript

"O.k., so now that we have all of our tools in place, we're going to go over some of the materials we'll need, including paint, for painting our kitchen. Alright, first, this is the caulking, it comes in a variety of different colors and we want to have something that's going to be pretty close to our final color. It's very important you select a caulking that's paintable, because a lot of them have Silicone in them and they're not paintable. So it has to say that on it. Here I have a variety of wood fillers and light weight spackles, which are used for fixing small holes and minor imperfections, nail holes, etc., they're quick dry and they're lightweight. Here we have the joint compound, this is spackle for fixing any type of plaster defect that we have. It's going to be used for skim coating and for fixing cracks in the walls. Next we have our primer, and we have an Acrylic Latex primer, as opposed to an oil primer, because it dries very fast and it's flexible. So, it's not going to show as much cracks and it's very good for adhesion and sealing up any type of surfaces we're going to be repairing. Such as greasy surfaces, or dusty, chalky surfaces and make sure that the paint sticks onto those surfaces. And there's a lot of greasy surfaces in kitchens, so this is going to be good as an in between coat. Finally, we have the paint. We've selected for this project, a pearl finish, which is relatively shiny and it's going to be going on the trim and the walls. O.k., so now that I've shown you all the tools and materials that you're going to need, let's start setting up this kitchen."
