Planning to improve the look of your kitchen without spending a lot of money? Then painting the kitchen cabinets is a great option. Even very old kitchen cabinets can be restored and brought back to life at a fraction of the cost of replacing them.
If selling your home is the reason you need to improve the look of your home, the kitchen is an good place to start. The return on your investment will make this worthwhile.

To complete the project successfully, requires a systematic approach and a lot of patience. For best result, remove all doors and drawers. All the hinges and screws should be removed prior to painting the kitchen cabinets. Knobs or hardware should also be removed and holes patched if they are not going back in the same place.
If there is any grease, especially around the stove, it should be cleaned or the paint will not adhere well. Before painting it is also necessary that you sand the kitchen cabinets with fine sand paper and clean the dust well.
A good adhering primer should be used first. An alkyd based primer works good, but there are many waterbourne alternatives these days that adhere as well as oil primers.
There are different paints that can be used and most of them are alkyd based. Melamine paint is a type of paint used often.
There are also water based paints available that dry very hard and perform well. Cabinet Coat is a product made by Insl-x and can be used even without using a primer. Cabinet Coat can be bought or ordered through Benjamin Moore Dealers.
After paint has dried well, replace all hardware and knobs. Washing them now, before installing them is a good idea.

The cabinets are the face of your kitchen. Restoring them will make your kitchen a better and brighter place to be.
