This does take more preplanning time than the standard finish and paint offering. ColorInspire requires an upfront purchase of a color door sample of specified color and then many steps are taken to insure the consumer is pleased with their color choice. This sample cost is non-refundable. More details are listed below. • Display Program: The ColorInspire program is included in Wellborn Cabinet, Inc.’s Display Program. • Warranty and Disclaimer: All hardwoods, being a product of nature, vary from one piece to the next, even from the same tree, each having its own characteristics. Therefore, each piece of wood, each cabinet and each kitchen are unique. Painted finishes are created with several coats of pigmented paint and two coats of sealers. The final step is a conversion varnish topcoat that is oven-cured creating a tough, baked-on, long lasting finish. Depending on the door material chosen, some of the wood grain may show through the paint. The natural characteristics of wood create a constant state of expansion and contraction in every door, drawer front and face frame resulting in the visibility of joint lines. These visible joint lines are part of the beauty of painted finishes on natural wood. Samples approximate the actual paint color. It is also important to know that natural wood variation, graining, lighting (natural and artificial), profiles and edge shapes will affect the appearance of the color. ColorInspire is a catalyzed painted finish. There will be a slight difference between the ColorInspire sample and the cabinet order. The ColorInspire sample will not be an exact match to the paint manufacturer’s paper color deck.
