Hi Maddie, after you clean them really good I would totally recommend at least hand sanding them lightly with fine grit sandpaper. It just really helps your next paint choice adhere a lot better and last longer.
Yes - lightly, and primed. Scrub first with TSP. Don't skip all this and try chalk paint. It will not hold up to kitchen cabinets.
Thanks for your input.
Yes
Yes you do. The person we talked to about repainting our cabinets said you need to sand and use a primer before painting to avoid any bubbling or peeling paint in the future
Take one of the cabinet doors to the paint department of the home improvement store and ask them to select paint/stains and other finishes and application tools that will work for your kitchen. They have the best selection, the most up-to-date materials and most important, the most informative sales staff to get you what you need for a professional job.
Thanks everyone.
You're welcome! Hope you project turns out wonderful!
