Cost for spraying bookcases

[TheTrooper]

I'm building a set of base cabinets and bookcases for a customer. I'm thinking of having a local cabinet shop spray it white for me. What kind of pricing am I looking at?
It's 2 base cabinets 16"x40", 2 bookcases 58"x38", probably 14 shelves, 16 ft of crown molding. Everything will be finished sanded for them.

Is it just the face frame on the bases?and/or the insides?
I would have to see what you have but I can guestimate $1000.00-$1500.00
That would be sanding/primer then CV
Price is going to vary by location
Some areas have so many laws and regulations that they charge a lot of money that would make you think about doing it yourself

 

[TheTrooper]

Everything is to be white. They're really not deep due to a sliding glass door that will be in the way. I'm in Myrtle Beach, Sc.
I would love to spray them, I just have no equipment for that anymore.
Simular to this picture but only 40 inches wide. Double doors on the bases,

my guy charges $4.75 a sq.ft.

Perhaps you can rent an HVLP turbine from a local Paint or rental house.

Based on the picture above I'd say at least $500 per unit, probably more.

Even buying a HVLP to do it yourself would be cheaper.

From the picture-$1800.00 if the color can be matched in KA+. If I have to spray paint then top coat with KA+ price goes up.

So I'd be looking in the ball park of $1500 for JUST the finish and not too build and finish them right?

 

[tjbnwi]

Correct.

Thanks guy's. I think I'm just going to bite the bullet any buy a system. How many gallons of KA+ will I need to spray roughly 5 sheets of Baltic Birch white

It would be a lot cheaper if it was brought to the spray shop in pieces un assembled.
$1500-$1800 dam I need to move where you guys are.
Around here you wouldn't pay more then $1000 to get that sprayed.
One shop around here that does decent work would do it for $600 but no one else can come close to that guys prices.

64x5=320x2=640

2.5 gallons @ 4 mils per coat.

Spend the 900$ and get a Fuji 4 stage hvlp unit and be happy.... The learning curve is small, and the results are big.

I got a quote for drawer fronts and doors for some cabinets I'm building, just for the heck of it I got them to quote finishing too. I was surprised to find that the finishing cost a little more than the drawer fronts and doors.

I'm going to spray them myself and I'm looking at all options. I do like the Fuji. SW is sending me an outside to help  set my shop up with KA+.  I have a small 20x30 shop.
Over the phone he recommended a pressure pot so system that they sell.  Not sure of the brand I asked how does it compare to  a HVLP system and he said for the size of panels I'd be there days with a HVLP.  Any thoughts on the 2 systems?

Did he say pressure pot with the turbine set up?
Or pressure pot with a compressor system?
All turbine sprayer are HVLP
You can get a HVLP spray gun with compressor
They also offer low cfm spray gun if you don't have a big compressor
You will spray faster with a compressor system
Also using a bigger nozzle will increase speed but limited by air cap
The design of the gun/air cap makes all the difference
If you decide to go with a turbine get the best you can afford
I would go with at least a 4 stage

Most if not all SW stores will sell Graco and Titan systems. I find the Graco HVLP turbine very whinny. Nice gun though.

A pressure pot is just a very large cup, mine are 2.5 gallon capacity, fluid is delivered to the air cap set via a hose.

I disagree with matercabman about the speed difference between a turbine an compressor system. I find no difference.

Use the smallest air cap set possible, it atomizes the fluid more and the air cap does not have to work as much to break it up finer and fan it out. I use a 0.7mm (Xpc-G) or 0.8mm (T-70) nozzle on my guns with KA+. I do mix air caps at times (larger or smaller air cap from stock for nozzle).

Picture is of my turbine and a pressure pot. I normally power the pot with a Jc-10. I is a very quiet compressor.

This is a Fuji Q4 turbine system, T-70 gun with 0.08mm nozzle and 1.2 air cap, fluid is in a 2.5 gallon pressure pot with a power mixer, delivered with 16-18 psi in the pot, pot was pressurized with the Jc-10.

Interesting video...love the rotisserie setup.

How are the doors attached to the rotisserie?

Once the doors are removed from the rotisserie, do you brush paint the top and bottom edges? If so, I thought KA+ was only for spraying.

Draw latches clamping GRK screws to the head. The doors were hung from mobile racks for drying. Finished 96 doors per spray day, had 480 to finish. I'll get a picture of the latches later.

Tops and bottoms were sprayed while on the rotisserie on the first coat.

420 of the doors being delivered.
