When painting kitchen cabinets, it is important to choose the right color. The material that you decide to use will also dictate the optimal color choice, but the choice of a good color for any kitchen can virtually lead to a metamorphosis.
With the paint, color, and kitchen size considered for your project is also important to bear in mind the longjevity of the cabinet paint job.
Here are a few pointers to help you create beautiful and long lasting kitchen cabinets painted to the color of your choice:
Take off the doors and remove drawers etc before prepping or painting.
Strip and varnish or coating or existing painted wood cabinets and this will need to be done outdoors to ensure plenty of ventilation as many fumes are given off during heat or chemical peeling.
The surfaces will then need to be cleaned using something like TSP. TSP will clean off stubborn grease and this is essential when painting walls especially in the kitchen where food grease will have been splashed around. Any residue grease will cause the paint not to stick.
Prepare your unit surfaces then apply some good multi surface primer to the front and back of the window frames cabinet frames and the doors. This will make the paint job last longer by discouraging chipping and flaking
Softly sand clean and smooth any and all and surfaces before paint application
Use a few thin layers of paint rather than slapping on the paint in one thick coat of paint.
Start your paint job in a well ventilated area.
The choice of materials of the painting on cabinets, should depend on whether your units are stained, plain wood, melamine or metal.
Allow to dry between applications.
A smooth surface can be achieved by spraying.
Alternatively use of a brush to create a different type of high quality hand finish
