Stain cabinet (custom mixture of dark walnut/ebony) using hvlp sprayer

Spray 2 coats of sanding sealer. (Spray, let it dry, spray ,let it dry.)

After second coat of sealer dries, the wood grain will raise and be rough. Use a foam sanding block (I use 150 grit) to sand down raised wood grain until smooth.

After sanding cabinet smooth, spray top coat (1 coat). Once it dries, the wood grain will raise slightly. Use foam block to lightly sand until smooth.
