Kitchen cabinet painting

il y a 8 ans

Hello. We have had some painters (ref by Sherman Williams) come for estimates for our kitchen cabinets and then they never call back! I know that I need to de gloss them but beyond that what is the process and best products to complete a high end paint job? I intend to paint them a shade of white. Any specific white that is recommended? Thank you so much.

Painting cabinets seams like the hottest topic on Houzz. Problem is it is a difficult job and even harder to get right. First off your cabinets have to be in good shape and paintable.

I build cabinets and have painted in place and also have done quick redo's. In the end the painter might not feel comfortable with the end result and your expectations. Then there is the cost factor. It is not cheap to do it right and warranty your work.

I agree if this is a quick tide you over job that will look good from a few feet use chalk paint by General Finishes. You can't screw it up and it can be recoated and touched up without issue. It also rolls and brushes to the perfect finish. Downside is it is not a smooth finish.

The correct way to paint cabinets is to take al the doors, drawers and hinges off and starting from there. They have to be degreased, sanded, repaired and refinished. To get a factory look they need to be sprayed.

You have to have the right look to get away with brush strokes. Funny thing is in ultra high end cabinets people actually pay extra to have them hand painted.

Get a good brush and some small Wiz wheel rollers from Lowes. Sherwin Williams Solo is a great all in on repaint that can be sprayed, rolled or brushed. It does not need any primer which keeps the film down preventing chips.

Your better off continuing your hunt for a painter.

It sounds to me like painting is not your forte and if that is true painting cabinets is not the place to start poorly painted cabinets are horrible and very hard to fix later.Have you called any of the painters to find out why they don’t call back . I would want to know maybe the cabinets aren’t worth painting , maybe you expect to pay less than it is worth .As for color I like White Dove BM and if you insist on doing the job yourself talk to the paint store to get all the help you need.

Qelques idées: Du gris, du vert pale (en harmonie avec les porte vitrées qui ont un reflet vert pale) Mais en fait comme tout est blanc, donc vous pouvez tout mettre (sauf blanc je dirais) http://www.arianala.com/kitchen-backsplash-white-cabinets-black-countertop/kitchen-furniture-interesting-grey-mosaic-tile-backsplash-and-dark-motives-soapstone-countertops-and-top-stove-over-white-cabinets-in-modern-kitchen-designs-enchanting-soapstone-countertops-for-kitch/ https://www.pinterest.com/explore/subway-tile-backsplash/

Need advice about less ugly flooring option--French rental apartment

I see your point, It does look ugly :) Since its a rental apartment, do you have the authorization to remove it ? Because unfortunately, you can't put down vinyle over lino, it will not work (and its not because of the uneven floor). You can remove the lino and put another one, less ugly. It can be nice actually :) http://designmag.fr/design-dinterieur/lino-sol.html You are speaking about sticker, its quite cheap, why not trying and see if it fits with an uneven floor ? Although Im not sure that it will look pretty. Last solution, you can paint the lino, it will not last forever but it could be nice. Ask for expert advice to by the appropriate painting pots.

Besoin de conseils : Quelle couleur choisir pour ma cuisine ?

Bonjour, vos meubles de cuisine me semble en bon état et la couleur est assez neutre pour traverser les années. Le gris ne se démode pas ... SI vous voulez quelque chose de plus chaleureux, vous pouvez les peindre dans un ton de greige (entre le gris et le beige, ce qui vous permet de coordonner avec des tons chaud ou froid). Je changerai plutôt le plan de travail ainsi que la crédence. Vous pouvez prendre un plan de travail d'une seule pièce (plus facile d'entretien qu'avec les petits carreaux) avec un effet marbre en finition mat (cela donne à la fois un rendu classique et moderne) et faire la crédence dans la même matière. Si vous voulez apporter une touche décorative et créer un rappel avec le sol, vous pouvez opter pour un plan de travail plan et une crédence décorative, avec des carreaux colorés ou à motifs. Enfin, vous pouvez changer vos boutons de portes par des poignées coquilles ou droite, plus facile pour la prise de main. Concernant les murs de la cuisine, vous pouvez les peindre dans une teinte un peu plus foncé que la cuisine, ou plus clair selon l'aménagement de votre salon. Un vert sauge peut également faire ressortir l'ensemble et bien s'harmoniser avec les tomettes. Bonne suite dans votre projet !

Comment améliorer ce plan de cuisine?

Microwave next to the table would solve the bad looks and the height issue. Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill. I even have a 12 year old tiny Panasonic combi that makes perfect bread and pizza!

Painters HATE painting cabinets as they are very labor-intensive. If they remove the doors and drawers, they must label them to get them back in the right place, and the hinge screws may no longer fit. Of course, they could edge around the hinges, but again, labor intensive. They would much rather do an entire house, or better still, new construction where they can be sloppy and no clean-up. Try calling them again and grovel/beg!

DO NOT allow them to remove the cabinets and spray them!!! You will have an unholy mess! They should be hand painted using a BRUSH, not a roller (don't ask how I know about these things!).

Washing them to get off all grease/dirt is the first step. Then a good primer. I like to have my primer tinted in the color I intend to use - allows a change if you don't like it in YOUR space with YOUR light. Be sure to use oil high gloss enamel if it's still legal in your state. Yes, it will be VERY shiny for about 2 weeks and then it quickly becomes semi-gloss. It's far easier to clean and the paint holds up better if it's oil enamel. Again, your painter may try to talk you out of this - he might actually have to clean a brush!

I painted my cabinets 31 yrs ago, and changed the color 12 yrs ago - had them painted professionally that time. I LIKE seeing brush marks - they show it was hand-done. If you want a flawless finish, then painting them is not for you - only a spray finish will give this. Personally, I don't care for that finish, and if it chips, it's impossible to touch-up, whereas hand-painted can be touched up easily.

Don't know what it's like in your area, but can't find enough good contractors in our area at present, which means that they can afford to be selective on jobs. Lot of fiddly work to paint kitchen cabinets. I'm intending to paint our kitchen cabinets sometime and I'm hoping that I can prep them and then run the doors and draws down to get a 2 part auto spray job.

Thank you everyone! The cabinets are high end. I am just going for a different look. I really do not want to do this project and am willing to pay a good amount to have done. I paint walls and other furniture no problem but this is very expensive kitchen cabinet with three active kids. I want it done right and to be durable. I will check Angie's list! Great idea.

You should think about using chalk paint on your cabinets. There is less prep which makes it easier to apply to furniture/cabinets with existing finishes. If you'd rather use a traditional paint, go with Benjamin Moore Simply White.

Painting cabinets, if you are not comfortable doing them, can be a daunting task. As with anything it is all in the preparation. I've used Benjamin Moore's Advance coating. It creates a beautiful durable finish.
