What Primer and Paint for Cabinets?

As for your cup, it should not be leaking. Contact Fuji, talk to Jim Larin and tell him you were speaking to me and they will probably send you a new one.

Jim wasn't available when I called but a support representative named Nick was able to help me. The lid I received is the same white color as the container. According to Nick, some of these were warped and allow thinner fluids to leak around the top edge. There is a newer lid that is beige in color, and is made from a softer, more flexible plastic that seals the top better. Nick said that he'd be able to send out the new lid to replace my old one.
 
JCLP,

I agree, Breakthrough is great. I use it on kitchen cabinets and a lot of trim work. Dries fast, hard and durable. Literally factory finish using my Graco Ultra.
If using Breakthrough you do not need a primer it is a primer and top coat in one.
BUT, if wood stain cabinets going white then you need to spray on a cover primer because sometimes a yellow color will come through the paint. No issues using dark colors though. No idea if its tanin coming through or what.
Some guys actually add a little water claiming it makes the finish even nicer but I never tried. Downside to Breakthrough is brushing. Unless you have it tinted, it doesn't cover that great when brushing....and you need to work quick because it dries quick....some guys use an extender.
