    Do your cabinets look over-dated, and you are confused about what to do with them? Well, you have two options; one is to let them all out and put new cabinets in, which can be expensive and time-consuming, and another option is to paint them. Well, most people do not go for the opportunity to paint their existing cabinet, but it is straightforward and a lot less expensive. There are detailed steps on how to refinish your cabinets. 

    To paint your cabinets yourself, you can also communicate with your wholesale kitchen cabinet supplier from where you get your cabinets. To start painting you have to remove the doors, drawers, and other hardware. Here are the steps to follow:

    1. Clean the surface
    2. Sand your cabinets
    3. Apply Primer
    4. Paint inside your cabinets
    5. Paint your doors
    6. Reassemble
    7. What paint to use

    Clean the surface

    The first step of preparing your cabinets to paint is to remove all the grease and dirt, especially. After you have finalized the cabinets, you have to give them a quick once-over look for any holes or imperfections that you will need to fill. If there is any hole, you can use a wood filler into the hole and smooth the surface.

    Sand your cabinets

    The next step to painting your cabinet is to sand the surface of your cabinets with sandpaper. You can also use a sanding sponge which is a little bit easier for your hand to hold, and this can get into all the corners a little bit better than the sandpaper. You may have a second round of sanding the cabinet if the first is not enough. Make sure to get all the different corners and edges of your cabinets and follow the same process for doors and drawers. Make sure not to damage the edges of your cabinets. You can use a vacuum cleaner to make your cabinets’ surface ready for primer at the end of this process.

    Apply Primer

    To apply primer to your cabinets, put a paintbrush in the primer and move in an up and down motion with the grain of the wood. To spread it all over the surface evenly it is recommended to start with the frames and then move on to the doors and drawers. 

    Paint Inside Your Cabinets

    If the inside of your best Forevermark cabinets is good enough, you do not need to paint. However, if you have to paint inside your cabinets, you can start from the inner side to your way out. You can either start at the back panel, side panel, and then you can paint your shelf as the last. The critical thing to remember is to let your paint completely cure.   

    Paint your doors

    When painting doors, it is recommended to use a painting tripod to hold the door. You can place your cabinet doors on the little tripods that keep your door cleaner and make you able to get into all the little detail areas. Likewise cabinets, it is also important to apply primer to the doors before painting them. Apply primer on all the edges and the sides. After done with the primer, apply the paint thoroughly over the whole surface. 

    To ensure a smooth finish, you might need to sand slightly in between your primer and your finish coat. When you are done with the paint, never leave the surface with color only. Make sure to add a coat of polyurethane to increase the durability of your cabinet. It is easy to use a water-based covering because it is pretty easy to clean. 

    Reassemble 

    When you are done with everything with your cabinets, the final step is to reassemble your cabinets. Make sure to use a manual screwdriver when installing your hardware. You can also go with the previously used hardware, or install the new ones. 

    What paint to use

    The acrylic latex-based is usually recommended for the cabinets to be applied in the kitchen. You can use this paint because it is durable and easy to clean. As far as the finish goes, it is recommended to avoid a high-gloss finish because it can cause a lot of dings on the surface. You can either use a semi-gloss or satin-finish paint for your cabinets. Another thing to avoid painting your kitchen cabinets is flat-finish paints because they can be more challenging to clean. You can also consult with your wholesale kitchen cabinets supplier to assist you during your DIY project. 

    Final Thoughts

    For painting, you can settle on any of your cabinets in your house, whether your kitchen, bathroom, or even your laundry room. If you paint your wood-made cabinets, you have to scuff the surface with sandpaper, and your cover will become paintable. When painting your laminate cabinets, you have to use a bonding primer. It will ensure that the paint will stick to the laminate. The important thing is to ensure that you follow the proper steps to get the right results.
