    Use Rustoleum Cabinet Transformation. Home Depot and Lowe’s both sell it. I have used many times when I use to flip houses and I would highly recommend it.

    You need to sand lightly, use a good stain blocking primer, sand again, then use a good acrylic paint, sand, another coat of paint. Use a paint sprayer, I have a Wagner, but lots of people like the Homax. No brush marks with a sprayer. Use a mohair roller on the boxes. If you use a good paint, no sealing with poly necessary.

  • Hi Kelly, I am going to attach some pix of cabinets painted with our different whites. We have a drop cloth, fluff, cotton and buttercream which are all really popular. We did a series on our Facebook page of one of our retailers painting an entire kitchen. They are short LIVE videos that give you a step by step tutorial on how to paint your kitchen cabinets. Dixie Belle Paint makes it really easy to paint. The pix I attached are done in Drop Cloth and the small one with the refrig showing is cotton. Hope this helps!

    Make sure they are clean and dry. 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 with 120- to 220-grit sandpaper. Use a tack cloth or damp rag to remove dust after sanding. Prime with a stain blocking primer like Zinsser 123, KILZ,or BIN and have it tinted to the color of the top coat. This will prevent dark or stained surfaces from showing through the top coat. Acrylic, or water-base, paints are low-fume and clean up easily with water. Alkyd, or oil-base, paints require good ventilation because the paint contains solvents that can irritate your lungs and make you feel sick. Alkyd options require mineral spirits for cleanup, but they provide a hard, durable paint finish. Whichever you use, buy the best-quality paint you can afford for a lasting kitchen cabinet finish. Seal with at least three coats with a water based polyurethane. Use a small foam roller and foam brush for a smooth finish.
