Looking to update your old kitchen cabinets? Rather than replacing them, an easier and more budget-friendly solution is to paint them.
You can purchase the appropriate supplies for your type of cabinets whether they are solid wood, laminate or metal.
Wood cabinets are ideal for painting, but any surface that can be scuffed with sandpaper can be painted.
Laminate cabinets require a special bonding primer. The laminate must be in good condition for best results.
Choose a high-quality paint. Special cabinet paints are available that provide a smooth finish, but any high-quality paint should work.
Make sure your paint is acrylic, not vinyl. Acrylic latex-based paint is durable and easy to clean up.
A gloss finish will make your cabinets sheen, but it may show a lot of dings or mistakes. Semi-gloss or satin finishes are typically
used for kitchens. Some flat finish paints can be difficult to clean so always check the instructions for details.
Painting cabinets will take several days to complete, so plan accordingly. Always wear the appropriate safety gear and open the windows
for ventilation. To get the best results you should remove the doors and drawers and work on them in an area that’s out of the way
like a garage or basement. Make sure you’ll have proper ventilation there as well.
