Is there any thing to put on white "plastic-feel" coated cabinets?

Joanna on Apr 02, 2015They are probably vinyl coated or thermofoil. Not sure if glaze will stick to them, but read somewhere to use a hairdryer to heat the vinyl to remove the coating. Usually particle board underneath but as long as it's in good shape primer and paint should stickHelpful Reply

Susan Sease on Apr 03, 2015I used Annie Sloan Chalk paint to paint the ones in my laundry room, no problem whatsoever. But there is a primer for melamine cabinets that will allow regular paint to stick to them as well.Helpful Reply

Hope Williams on Apr 03, 2015Yes. Just be sure to clean well, sand lightly and prime with a good bonding primer. You can use a water base, it is super thick. Just sand smooth the parts that have come up. Oil base paints are on the way out because of their VOC issues. Nasty stuff.Helpful Reply

KELLY TAYLOR on Apr 03, 2015Attach some decorative moulding for depth prior to priming/painting using the methods listed above. I wouldn't even attempt trying to remove that coating and have to deal with particle board... the work involved would be tremendous!!!! And it may come out looking like a$$!!!Helpful Reply

Mary M. Prinzavalli on Oct 13, 2015I guess I'm a little late but just started with Hometalk. I have used a paint that has what seem to be sand in it. It is for painting any slick or smooth surface. Use it like a primer then paint your cabinets. It does not feel like sand after you have painted. I do not remember where I got it but probably at a lumber company or try Sherwin Williams as that was where I bought alot of my paint. Also they make a paint especially for furniture or anything like cabinets.Helpful Reply

Mary M. Prinzavalli on Oct 14, 2015No NancyMarie, It is not Marine paint. It made for cabinets and you can paint furniture with it. I'm sure now that I bought it at Sherwin Williams. I used it to paint an Armoire and some other furniture. It doesn't feel like sand but there is something in it that makes it stick to the slick surface so use it as a primer. You would probably need to talk or explain what you are looking for and just tell them how I explained it to you.Helpful Reply
