Hey everyone! I'm curious about how to effectively set up my kitchen cabinets for painting. I'm looking for practical ways to hang or support them during the painting process—not just the prep work. How have you tackled this?

I cheaped out by using a 10x10 pop-up tent I snagged on Craigslist and hung tarps from it to create a spray tent. For the smaller pieces, I used a lazy Susan, which really helped. Just make sure there's enough dust-free space for everything to dry flat, as you'll be dealing with lots of different sizes.
If you're referring to the cabinet doors, a solid method is to hang them up using wires or hooks if you have the space. This allows for a smoother spray paint application without worrying about handling them too much.
We usually create a temporary paint shop in the garage. To do this, we cover the area with plastic and set up two racks—one for spraying and another for drying. Depending on your garage size and how many cabinets you're painting, you can adjust this setup. It's a good idea to have someone to help out; one person can paint while another handles the logistics.
