Helpful Tips From Professional Cabinet Painters

8/8/2018

Painting your kitchen cabinets is a procedure that necessitates patience. You’ll have to be ready to deal with a bit of disorder and mess for many days before all the pieces can be put back together. You should hire professional cabinet painters. Read on for a few tips if you are planning to paint your cabinets.

Pick the right paint. The usual wall paint has a formula not right for cabinet surfaces. It will chip, and it will not withstand constant cleaning. You will have to pay a little more, but getting an alkyd enamel will last longer. Since the formula is self-leveling, you’ll have a slicker finish.

Pick a color that will compliment your appliances. I had a lot of older appliances in the kitchen at my house. My oak cabinets made them stand out like a sore thumb. When I applied a dark brown stain on my cabinets dark brown, my black appliances practically disappeared. If you paint the cabinets a similar color, they will quickly fit in perfectly.

Prep all the doors and drawers accurately to make sure the paint sticks. If you decide not to use professional cabinet painters or painting services, begin by scouring your cabinets to remove all residue. Then, use sandpaper to make the surfaces smooth and a tack cloth to get rid of any dust. If there are any holes or gaps, use caulk to fill them.

To get professional-style results, it's critical to prime the doors, drawers, and box before you start painting. When your primer has dried, use a foam roller and angled brush to apply your paint. Satin paint looks good on kitchen cabinets. It is not as difficult to work with as oil paint.

Begin working in parts with your angled brush and go over your painting with the roller for a glossy finish. When you're finished painting, you use grit sandpaper for final sanding. Even a coat of satin paint will work well too.

It isn’t unusual for homeowners to attempt to do their cabinet painting. However, if you want your cabinets to be taken apart, painted, and put back together correctly, reach out to painting contractors in Rochester, NY.
