Clean them well using TSP and then paint a basecoat of Kilz Adhesion Primer before using a latex paint. If you are planning on using Chalk Paint then a primer is not necessary.
Make sure they are clean and dry. Use acrylic latex paint. Remove the doors and hardware. Mark the doors and cabinets with tape where they go. Lightly sand the doors and cabinets to remove any gloss and roughen the surface for paint. Prime with a stain blocking primer like Zinsser 123. Then paint with your color. Seal with at least three coats with a water based polyurethane. Use a small foam roller and foam brush for a smooth finish.
I am doing mine at the moment and using chalk paint and loving it!.. no prep!
Will the chalk paint hold up to scrubbings? Does splattered grease etc. come off ok?
TSP clean up, light sanding, and Minwax cabinet enamel.
