Hi Dena! I've painted many a kitchen cabinet in my life, that's for sure!
I highly recommend starting with this bonding primer: http://go.redirectingat.com?id=78087X1556902&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FINSL-X-SXA110099-04-Waterborne-Bonding-Primer%2Fdp%2FB000MITIF8%2Fref%3Dsr_1_fkmr0_1%3Fie%3DUTF8%26qid%3D1489164856%26sr%3D8-1-fkmr0%26keywords%3Dstyx%2Bbonding%2Bprimer
No sanding necessary, it's smooth going on, dries quickly and is water clean up. And boy does it stick!
Then just coat your cabinets with 2 coats of a good satin or semi-gloss latex paint.
It's worth the extra $5 a gallon to get the premium paint for this project... it really does make a difference in the coverage and durability!
Depending on the style of your cabinet doors you may want to use either a roller or a brush or a combination of the two for applying the primer and paint.
ie: if the doors are totally flat then a foam roller is the way to go for smooth coverage. If the doors are paneled style with grooves etc. then a brush would probably be your better bet.
Good luck! Hope these tips helped you out a bit. :) Liz from SimpleDecoratingTips.com
Just took a class on "Chalk Paint" No sanding or stripping the furniture before you paint anything. You can paint just about anything.. Visit www.royalchalk.com I have to tell you that this is not AT ALL what I expected. I intend to do a lot of painting now.
wash your cabinets very thoroughly, lightly sand with 200 grit paper, wipe down with a cloth dampened with white vinegar, let dry, paint with "stix" a wonderful bonding primer carried in Benjamin Moore stores, and paint with a Benjamin Moore paint called "advance" it can be tinted to around 3000 colors, and I happened to love the satin finish, but other finishes are available.
