FIRST THINGS FIRST 

It is best to paint the kitchen cabinets before you paint the walls. In fact, we suggest painting the cabinets before you even finalize your choice for the wall color. Here’s why: The kitchen cabinets make up a very large portion of the visual space in the kitchen.

WE UNDERSTAND THE JOB

It’s important to understand which types of kitchen cabinets can be painted. Metal, wood, and wood-laminate cabinets are generally easier to paint than plastic laminate cabinets. In most cases, plastic laminate requires specific techniques and special paints.

BONUS TIP

Drawers and flat-front doors are easier to paint than woodwork and cabinets with detailed profiles or raised paneling. These complex and detailed areas need more paint and more prep time. If the woodwork is damaged or warped, it may be best to purchase new unfinished cabinet doors and paint them with the existing cabinets.

SPRAYING VS ROLLING 

Spraying cabinet doors usually provides a more durable, even-looking finish. The quality of finish you get from using a spray gun is second to none, and it’s by far a faster and more efficient method.
