Kitchen Cabinet Painting Halifax, Dartmouth. How to Paint Kitchen Cabinets

   Kitchen Cabinet Painting Halifax, Dartmouth.  How to Paint Kitchen Cabinets.

 When considering the options and from experience maybe I can break this question down so you can make the right purchasing decision.  If you have watched or viewed other web sites, you might have seen outdated hinge hardware being re-installed on your painted doors. Also you'll see all the work involved taping off the kitchen with plastic to prevent the paint and over-spray from getting on your walls and furniture. 

  The kitchen cabinet door refinishing process is longer and more time consuming. 

 With our cabinet door replacement program, only the doors are replaced with a choose of over 300 combination colours and styles.

    The time and expense it takes to properly prepare your old doors , you can re-fit your cabinets with proper sized updated doors that need no finishing. You can then upgraded to soft close hinges. Also you have the option of modifying  your cabinets if needed before ordering the new door sizes. 

Note: The photo above was fitted with new doors, counter top and back splash. Cabinet boxes were painted by the customer.   

 See the steps in the painting process below.

Kitchen cabinet painting tips and ideas

Use my Cabinet painting tips and ideas and you will save time and energy and achieve a lasting finish.

Step 1. Remove cabinet doors and hardware.

Step 2. Prepare the cleaner using TSP (Trisodium Phosphate).  This is a powerful chemical, you must wear rubber gloves and safety goggles when using TSP to prevent a chemical burns.

Step 3. Use a micro fiber cloth to wipe the cleaner on, then let sit and   rinse with a clean micro fiber cloth and rinse in a separate container.

Step 4. A trick I use is a fine wire brush to remove any hard to remove  grime. 

Step 5. Wash and rinse till all surfaces are clean and loose paint and                 finishes are removed.

Step 6. Allow to dry.  

Step 7. Sand with 100 grid sand paper. (Fill any crack or holes with paintable caulking) 

Step 8. Use a tack cloth to clean dust.

Step 9. I always have my customers use Bulls Eye Primer (Great drying 

        and leveling performance.

Step 10. Next use a small sponge roller and a good quality paint brush to cut into the tight corners.  

Step 11. Sand lightly with 220 sandpaper.

Step 12. Tack cloth the cabinets.

Step 13. Apply second coat.

Step 14. Apply top finish coat and tint to correct  colour to match the NEW CABINET DOORS  finish.

Note. My customers have excellent results with Benjamin Moore and Seco
