How to paint kitchen cuboards

Hi there, if the paint you're painting over is in good shape you can absolutely go over it another time. Of course it will be more durable if you first strip it but as long as what you're painting over is in good shape you should be good to go.

I recommended stripping them.four sots of paint is way to much....Use citristrip a non -toxic remover

It is much better to sand or strip the paint first. But you can try to use primer and then paint.

I like chalk paint. There's no need to sand or prime beforehand

Remove hardware. Scrub really well with TSP. Wear gloves as TSP is a strong cleaner. Sand any rough areas. Especially edges. Prime those areas. Use the best paint you can afford. Let dry really well between coats. Use 2 coats. The prepping is the most important part. DO NOT use chalk paint on kitchen cabinets. It will NOT hold up to scrubbing and the daily hard use that kitchen cabinets get. You will end up having a mess on your hands.

There are lots of options out there for paint, I have had the best lasting finish with oil-based primer and paint. Clean cabinets to remove any grease and fingerprints. Remove hardware, doors, and drawers (label them with tape to put them back in the same place). Sand them with an electric palm sander. Using a small roller and good brush, prime them with Kilz primer (again, I use oil based – but you can use latex) at least one coat, maybe two. Paint with your choice of color paint, applying one thin coat at a time and lightly sanding in between each coat with a fine grit sandpaper. You will need at least two coats of paint, perhaps even three. Do not paint in cold weather, be sure to let each thin coat dry completely before applying the next. Repeat the same process on the cabinets on the wall. Buy new hinges or knobs/pulls, or paint them using spray paint for metal. Let wood dry at least 24 hours before putting doors back on – using the labels to put them in the correct original place. This is a big job and will take time to get it right, spending your money on good paint and good brushes are well worth the investment. Best of luck!

Clean your cupboards with TSP if your cupboards are shiny sand them and apply 123 or Kilz primer. Buy cupboard paint and add at least 2 coats .It goes without saying remove hardware. Good Luck
