My custom kitchen cabinets (Maple) were delivered with less than a satisfactory finish. I am faced with repairing large flat spots, and areas where there is excessive build-up. I do not own a sprayer, and have never used one. Do I just find another wood worker in my community to repair them, or is there a way for me to repair them?
As far as I can tell, the door fronts were not prepared with a sealer, and they seem to have used a solvent based lacquer. I am guessing that there are two very thin coats of lacquer on most of the fronts.

If the original finish is a standard solvent-based nitrocellulose lacquer, repairing the botched job is a fairly simple process. If the original finish is a catalyzed lacquer or a conversion varnish (both are commonly used on kitchen cabinets), the job will be a little more complicated. In either case, to do it right, you need to find a finisher with spray equipment. This is not a doable DIY project.

Unless these were made by a friend for free or something, I'd try to get my money back or get them fixed for free.- Rod Cole
