Cabinet Renovation and Painting DIY guide
Preparation
- Remove Cabinet Doors and Drawers
Take off doors, drawers, and all hardware (handles, hinges, etc.). Label each piece to ensure easy reassembly.
- Clean Surfaces Thoroughly
Use a grease-cutting cleaner to remove dirt, grime, and grease buildup.
- Light Sanding
Lightly sand all surfaces to roughen up the existing finish, making it easier for the primer to adhere.
- Tape and Cover: Use painter's tape to protect areas like countertops and walls. Cover nearby appliances and floors to catch any paint splatters.
Priming
- Choose the Right Primer
Use a high-quality bonding primer suitable for wood or laminate. - Application
Apply an even coat of primer with a brush or a roller. For a smoother finish, consider using a spray gun. - Drying Time
Allow the primer to dry fully according to the product’s instructions, usually 4-6 hours.
