What are some tips for painting kitchen cabinets?
Some tips for making painting kitchen cabinets are:
Protect– Painting kitchen cabinets is a messy job. The last thing you want is for the paint to fall on the kitchen countertop. An easy and effective way to protect the countertops, floor, and backsplash is to cover them with inexpensive brown builder’s paper or rosin paper.
Remove– Quite often, we come across painting projects where the hardware and hinges are covered with paint and the paint is slopped over the drawer interiors. Although it is tempting to the doors in place while painting, removing them and the hardware will ensure you get a much cleaner and a more professional-looking job. Most modern cabinets come with drawers that can be removed by backing out a few screws. However, if the drawer fronts are part of the drawer and they cannot be removed, you can use a masking tape to cover the sides and the bottom of the drawers.
Label– Begin with making a sketch or two of all the doors and drawers. Number them the way you like. Proceed to label the drawers and the door with corresponding numbers when you remove them. Cover them with a masking tape to protect them as you paint.
Get the grease off– Even high-quality paint for kitchen cabinets would not stick to greasy cabinets. Therefore, the first crucial step is to clean the cabinets with a grease-cutting solution. Even a dishwashing liquid can work.
