My kitchens cabinets are in real good shape, but we like to make a change with our cabinets. We have decided that we are not going to get rid of our good cabinets, we are going to paint all of our cabinets. By painting, it is a good way to brightening up our kitchen, and not go over our budget that we have for our kitchen redo.
The materials that we have to go to the store and get before we start painting are liquid sandpaper, 3/4" nap paint roller, tack cloth, primer, 220 grit sandpaper, paintbrush, roller or sprayer and quality latex paint.
The first thing I will do to get my cabinets ready for paint is, I will clean the cabinets with a strong detergent to get rid of all the surface oils and grime that is on the cabinets. I apply a high-grade primer to my cabinets to get my cabinets a real good foundation.
After I have done all of these different things, it is time to start painting my kitchen cabinets.
I will take my sandpaper and I will use a find grad of sandpaper to lightly scuff the surface. Next, I will use a paintbrush and apply primer on all of my cabinets and then I have to let the primer to dry. After the primer has dried, I will sand all of the primed surface with my 220-grit sandpaper and this gives the primed surface to take the paint better to the cabinets. I will wipe each cabinet down with a tack cloth.
Before I start cabinets, I have to take all of my cabinets doors off to be able to paint them. I will paint all of my cabinets and I will paint all of my doors also. After I let them dry real good, I will paint on another coat of paint.
The painting of my kitchens cabinets really has made a great improvement to our kitchen and not having to put out a lot of money, that a makes it great.
