I did this last year to my oak kitchen. A helluva project but it exceeded my expectations. Used Spray Nine degreaser to clean, sanded between coats. Used two different primers- the doors closest to the stove ( greasiest) needed a very sticky primer ( Stix) and the other ones used a less sticky but more opaque primer. Each door got four coats- two primer and two top coats. I used Dulux and Stix primer and BM Advance in white-Pearl finish. The wood filler step is unnecessary- on mine, there’s very subtle grain coming through, but looks excellent. Using the right sheen is the most important step; Pearl is the right sheen.

The timing of this is perfect! Not quite ready to move from our home but getting there. As kitchens sell homes (almost always) this is a great solution for those with builder grade oak cabinets (me) that don't want to spend thousands (me again) on new cabinets just to leave them behind in the house. Very nice results! Thank you for posting!

@bighands69 4 жыл бұрын

You would get a far more expensive look if you cleaned the wood and went for a natural wood finish. And that is even on builder grade. The reason why modern kitchens do not use natural wood is that people cannot actually afford them. Painted look means even mdf can look higher end. In modern times it has become expensive to have wood as a built in. I had a cousin who restored a natural wood kitchen and everybody that sees it thinks it is some super expensive custom built furniture.

Followup on my project... I decided to not fill my face frames since they are barely noticeable and opt'd to rebuild my doors. I wanted shaker style over the original and building new doors will be a much larger project, but worth it in the long run. My plan is to use oak frames and MDF or plywood panels. The paint will provide a slight texture to help hide the oak pores, yet still allow a bit to show and match the doors to the carcasses.

I push the paste formed into the grain with the paper and then level it with a knife (if flat). It even looks great under a clear coat and fills smaller imperfections.

Omg I have sooo many cabinets in my new home that look just like this and I was thinking the paint job would be easy, but it’s more than I thought now that I’ve watched this video. Looks great though! And worth the time

I think you did a great job and the door looks good. I work for a professional cabinet refinishing company. We do our fare share of oak cabinets. Each two man crew does at least one kitchen a week. We have a much different paint that you can’t buy in a store and it’s water based and sprayed on the doors and the the drawer fronts in our shop with an hvlp sprayer. We use bin primer and roll it on with foam roller and that’s how we fill the grain it works and it dries fast then we can burnish it and put the color coats on. Then we put on a uv top coat and cure it with uv light. It comes out just as durable as the prefinished hardwood flooring you buy from Armstrong. The problem I see most people do is they just don’t prep the wood properly and they try and rush it and then it looks like they painted it with a brush. The products that they sell at the big box stores like rustolium cabinet refinishing kits are garbage.

George Charbonneau True. Those "simple, quick, easy, no sanding" cabinet painting videos are BS. A year later they will be scratched specially where the handles and pulls are.

General Stain products are awesome. Nice job on the cabinets . For those naysayers General Stain does a line of gel stains that is amazing. Turns those builder grade cabinets into truly beautiful rich finish that enhances that transforms those tired out of date cabinets. And no it doesn't peel or fade.

That stuff reminds me of ‘bondo’ body filter for cars. Build it up, sand it down, then you can finish. Personally I like the wood look but it is good to know

I paint cabinets for a living. You got great results. I recommend priming with white pigmented shellac. After a thorough cleaning... sand, vacuum, and tack. Then, your choice of finish. I prefer waterborne lacquer. Two coats. However, if you are brushing or rolling them, the product you recommend is great. Waterborne lacquer doesn't brush well. Great job.
