Choosing the Right Paint for Your Cabinets

Choosing the right paint for your cabinets is essential if you want to achieve a professional finish. There are a few things to consider when selecting the right paint.

• Its is very important to choose the correct type of paint for your cabinets. We will recommend a few options to you once we know the material that was used for your cabinets. 
• Sheen. The sheen of the paint is also important. You need a sheen that can be cleaned and is easy to apply. We do not recommend glossy finish for DIY cabinet painting. 
• Colour. Choosing the right colour is also essential. If you want a classic look, opt for a neutral shade such as white or grey. For a more modern look, choose a bolder colour, such as blue or green.

Preparing Your Cabinets for Painting

Once you have chosen the right paint, it’s time to prepare your cabinets for painting. Here are some steps you need to take:

• You must label the cabinet doors and hinges to ensure that they are replaced in the proper location after removal of the doors, hinges, and handles.
• The cabinets should be cleaned. For the paint to adhere properly, the cabinets must be thoroughly cleaned before painting. We will make the appropriate product recommendation to you based on the grease content of your kitchen. 
• Repair. Make sure you use a high quality wood filler to fill all the holes and damages that are visible.  
• Sand the cabinets. Avoid falling for marketing ploys that promise to sell you primer that doesn’t need sanding. Sanding the cabinets is necessary to ensure that the primer adheres to them and that the project is durable.
• Prime the cabinets. Priming the cabinets is essential if you want a professional finish. Not all primers are equal. Depending on the type of wood or material used for the frames and gables, we will advise you on the best primer for your kitchen. 
• Check all of your repairs after the first primer coat. Perhaps more filler is required. Possibly at this point, you can see other damaged components that require repair.
• After the primer has completely dried, sand with fine grit sandpaper.

How to Paint Your Cabinets

Once your cabinets are prepared, it’s time to start painting. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Wipe away all the dust created after sanding the primer with a damp microfiber cloth. To test the smoothness, rub your hand over the surface. You might need to sand it once more if it doesn’t feel smooth. 
• Use a fine finish roller to apply the paint and to achieve a smooth finish.
• Avoid drips. As you paint, keep an eye out for drips and paint them out as soon as possible.
• Before you sand the painted surface, let the paint completely dry. To achieve a professional appearance, you must sand the paint. In between each coat of paint, sand the surface with fine grit paper.
• Before applying the second coat of paint, wipe the dust away.
