Cabinet Painting

---

Cabinet painting is the process of refinishing kitchen or bathroom cabinets by applying paint to change their appearance—rather than replacing them entirely. It’s a cost-effective way to refresh a room’s look, especially in kitchens, without a full remodel.

Key Steps in Cabinet Painting:

1- Preparation:

• Remove cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware (handles, knobs, hinges).
• Clean all surfaces thoroughly to remove grease and grime.
• Fill in holes or imperfections with wood filler if needed.
• Fill any dents or holes with wood filler if needed.
• Apply primer – crucial for stain-blocking and adhesion.

2- Priming:

• Apply a primer suited for the cabinet material (wood, MDF, laminate).
• This helps the paint stick and improves durability.

3- Painting:

• Use a brush, roller, or sprayer to apply paint.
• Common finishes: satin, semi-gloss, or high-gloss, which are durable and easy to clean.
• Apply multiple thin coats for even coverage.

4- Drying and Curing:

• Let each coat dry thoroughly.
• Some paints take several days to fully cure and harden.

5- Reassembly

• Reattach doors, drawers, and hardware after everything is dry.

Pros of Cabinet Painting:

• Much cheaper than replacing cabinets.
• Customizable colors and finishes.
• Less disruption and waste.

Cons:

• Time-consuming if done properly.
• Requires good prep and technique for a professional result.
• Not ideal for damaged or low-quality cabinets.
