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.
Clean them very well with TSP/TriSodium Phosphate/Sugar soap; rinse with clean water.
Prime with a good primer and paint.
Clean really well . Prime first , then paint with a good enamel based paint .
Thanks Bill! I'm going to do just what you said! Why 3 coats of water based polyurethane? I want the finished look to be distressed...do you think if I put Americana creme on top and wipe before totally dry that would work?
