Can we add to interior enamel which we will use on kitchen cabinets - so that there is a harder protective coat.?

I don't see why not as long as it's an oil base enamel. But I would always try on a scrape peice first when mixing products.

suppose you could but to prevent damage to the ceramic coating would suggest either wood or plastic utensils

It gives a more real cabinet finish as opposed to regular semi gloss paint and does not require a primer. If you use regular paint (semi-gloss) you must prime first! Good luck!

Yes, you can use ultimate compound, if necesssary. Sometimes a less abrasive compound or polish is enough, depending on the condition of your paint.

It may help, but this could be fun removing someday and would be quite expensive to do the whole area. I use 3m adhesive to apply this inside speaker cabinets. They also make a 2 inch thick soft foam like for recording studios that are 24x24 and are nice and flat for applying to walls and ceilings.

I think it would be possible to scratch through the enamel with a sharp knife, but the finish is very hard. I only use wooden or metal utensils and have no noticeable damage.

Don't think it would hurt it, but, I couldn't recommend doing so. Better off using meguiars interior detail spray on those materials instead. Just the plain spray though. Avoid products containing oils and or silicon.

Yes, but not easy. The cabinets are covered in a laminate. You will need special prep and special paint. It will be like painting a kitchen cabinet. Paint stores and big box stores sell paint kits for painting cabinets.

Only if you could thin it enough. I use to shoot enamels on scale model airplane and when they are too thick, I have to play with air pressure to compensate. The cleanup might be difficult. Though you can find replacent o-ring if the chemicals in the paint eat them up. Good luck.

Yes! That's the beauty of it. Mine were white-wash stained cabinets initially. I used "000" steel wool pads to scuff the surface in the direction of the grain to remove any gloss and to clean them up (don't kill yourself sanding...the steel wool works great and gets into the crevices). The gel stain is like a paint...it stays on top of the surface...does not really sink into the wood anyway, so as long as you scuff it up slightly it will work fine. Go for it!

Hey if you want ENAMEL STRENGTHENING then this isn't the right stuff. Order this instead: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ECQRFK/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Im no paint expert but from my experience it wouldnt be very suitable for exposure to the elements. Its made more to patch up things like interior pieces that use chrome plating. which from my research chrome plating is supposed to be exposed to the elements as little as possible. Id go with a similar color your like, but one that doesnt say "plate finish". Just my advice.

It has a special coating. Normal paint wouldn't do the job. If you try then practice on the inside maybe first.

Cant give much insight on backsplash under glass tiles, but as far as the edges go, I would do the granite paint on the edges. I think it would look better than painting the color of the cabinets. The biggest problem we had was that our laminate was not only on the counter surface but also went up the back and one side about 5 inches. It was kind of difficult to get the granite paint to look right where the back/side and top met, and in the corner. I would recommend taping some plastic or brown paper on a good-sized portion of the counter where it meets the back, and doing the back first. After the back dries, I would then cover the back with plastic or the brown paper and paint the counter top.

You are correct it needs to be enamel paint, I made the mistake of using lacquer based paint and the paint was soft even after many weeks of dry time

If your base is poor, the final results will also be unsatisfactory. It sounds like a short cut to disaster with the poor adhesion of the shellac. Prep the base to a SMOOTH surface by stripping or sanding away any loose shellac. Sorry, Cabinet Coat is a great paint but it still needs to be applied to a solid, not a chipping surface.

Yes, but it takes a great deal of expertise to get a good match. Many finishes on production furniture are sprayed on with a colored pigment as opposed to stained and then sprayed with or coated with a clear finish. Cherry also darkens with age naturally, so you have to take that into consideration as well. If you how the existing cabinets were finished, it might make it easier to get a decent match.
