City of Kent Water Treatment Plant

Laboratory Cabinets 

Painted with Epoxy
Completed: 12/09/07

Painted Inside and Outside

 Original Color: Mint Green 
 New Colors: Morning Fog

Our goal was to repaint both the inside and outside of the existing cabinets while
maintaining full and continuous operation of the water testing lab.

Work was performed in stages during a week in early December.

Approximately 65 drawers were prepped and painted in a remote area the first two days.
Where possible, handles were removed.  Plastic rollers on the drawers were masked to prevent sticking.  
Internal corners were first "spotted" with an HVLP system prior to electrostatic painting.

Stationary cabinets in the lab itself were painted in two stages to allow required water testing to continue 
utilizing cabinets not currently being painted.  Test equipment was moved from one set of cabinetry to another 
as work progressed.   Where possible, handles were removed.  Drawer tracks were also removed to allow satisfactory 
paint coverage behind them.  Swinging doors were left in place.  As was done with the drawers, all internal
corners were first "spotted" with an HVLP system prior to electrostatic painting. 

Hanging wall cabinets with sliding glass doors were taken down and disassembled for painting. 

All cabinets were allowed to dry for a day before the component parts were reassembled.
