A coat of paint on kitchen cabinets can add the pop of color needed, so remodeling your kitchen by painting the cabinets can dramatically change the look of the room, making it blend in better with surrounding rooms or stand out with a pop of color. However, the traditional process of painting kitchen cabinets is notoriously time- and labor-intensive, often disrupting daily life for an extended period of time.
It typically involves a series of steps that can daunt even the most enthusiastic DIYer: removing hardware, removing doors and drawers, sanding, scrubbing, patching, priming, more sanding, applying multiple coats of paint, and then reassembling. This daunting task can indeed be overwhelming, but there is a simpler approach that significantly reduces the effort and time involved.
The Groundbreaking Approach
Below is a revolutionary method to paint kitchen cabinets without making a mess—no sanding and priming required. After a less than satisfactory experience with traditional cabinet painting, here’s the game-changing solution: General Finishes Milk Paint.
Skeptical at first, a simple test coat of the paint convinced us of its potential. The paint dried quickly, provided even coverage and left no visible brush marks, all without any prep work.
Materials Needed
To follow this new method, you’ll need the following materials:
General Finishes Milk Paint (in your chosen color)
Deglosser
Touch-up compound (if needed for repairs)
Brushes and rollers
