I thought I could follow my typical “ painting laminate cabinets routine” where I apply the first coat with a paint brush and then the final or last two coats with a foam brush to get a smooth finish. I found the hard way that this is super important because the paint is thick and it will show brush strokes. One thing to note (that I didn’t do a good job of following) is using a “brush and roll” or “brush and stipple” technique where you apply a full coat of paint on the surface and then immediately roll it with a foam roller or stipple it with a foam pad. I would highly suggest watching them before starting a paint project.
