How to Prepare Your Cabinets For Kitchen Spray Painting

Kitchen Spray Painting is a great way to update your kitchen without breaking the bank. It can be done in one day and is much less expensive than replacing cabinets or buying new cabinet hardware. Plus, it’s eco-friendly! You can choose from many different colours to create your perfect kitchen. But there are some things to keep in mind when you’re choosing a colour for your cabinets.

First, you should prepare the area you will be spraying. Cover any areas you don’t want to get paint on with plastic and tape. If possible, make a spray booth in your garage using plastic sheeting to prevent overspray from going onto other areas of your home. This will help to avoid any splatter marks on your ceiling and walls.

Next, you should remove your cabinet doors and drawers from the hinges and place them in plastic bags. Label each bag with the location of the door or drawer so you know where to put them back when you’re finished. If you can, remove the cabinet boxes as well. But if you find that they are firmly in place and can’t be removed, leave them alone. You can always re-paint them in the future if you decide you want to change the colour.

After removing the cabinet hardware, wipe down the surface with a degreaser and sand it to create a smooth surface for the paint. It’s a good idea to do this with all surfaces to be painted, but particularly the cabinet frames and edges. This will help the top coat to adhere better to the surface and will prevent it peeling later.

Finally, you should apply a primer to all surfaces that are to be painted. Then allow the primer to dry completely before you begin spraying the cabinets. This is important, as the proper preparation will make the difference between a quality finish and one that starts to chip and flake.

When you’re ready to start spraying, be sure to follow the instructions on your spray gun. Keep the nozzle about 30cm from the surface and be sure to move in even, smooth strokes. It’s also a good idea to test the spray gun on some unwanted timber before using it on your cabinets to ensure you have the right pressure and nozzle size.

If you’re not comfortable doing this yourself, or would prefer to have someone else do it for you, contact a professional. They can offer advice and a professional, high-quality finish that you’ll be proud of!

A fresh, updated look for your kitchen can make a big difference in the appearance of your entire home. And, with some careful planning and the use of a professional Kitchen Spray Painting company, you can achieve that look in just one day!
