Classic kitchen cabinets

by Roger Taylor

Purchase the appropriate supplies for your type of solid wood, laminate or metal. Check the paint label on the can for specific instructions. Wood cabinets are ideal for painting, but any surface that can be scuffed with sandpaper can be painted. Laminate cabinets require a special bonding primer. The laminate must be in good condition for best results. Choose a high-quality paint. Special cabinet paints are available that provide a smooth finish, but any high-quality paint should work. Make sure your paint is acrylic, not vinyl. Acrylic latex-based paint is durable and easy to clean up. With latex paints, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding cure time. A gloss finish will make your cabinets sheen, but it may show a lot of dings or mistakes. Semi-gloss or satin finishes are typically used for kitchens. Some flat finish paints can be difficult to clean. Check the instructions for details
