We are thinking about refinishing our kitchen cabinets?
We want to refinish our kitchen cabinets but we need some advice. What is the best type of paint to use, and do we have to sand before we paint, should we use primer, should we use rollers or a brush, etc?? Also, we have ugly white appliances which we will eventually be switching out to stainless… but for now, what color of paint would look best? I really like the antique white, but I am afraid that would look dumb with white appliances? Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
I am going on the assumption these cabinets are older and already painted …but if not the same would apply …wash them down with TSP to remove grease, then sand them with a 100 grit. Don’t sand all the paint off, you are just removing the sheen so paint/primer will adhere.
As for primer …if you are going to a lighter color from what you currently have I would prime them with “Kilz” if you are going with a darker color …no need to prime.
As for color …that is a personal preference ….I will only suggest to go with something that will pick up some color from drapes, floor or something like that.
