How do I update and paint my bathroom cabinet?

Lightly sand to remove any shine. Prime with Kilz primer then paint.

If it’s smooth you can scuff with steel wool instead of sanding. Clean with T SP after sanding or scuffing. Prime with Kilz or Zinsser. Paint with a formula that has a mold inhibitor.

Carolyn,. Start with the color of your walls,. What are your cabinets made of ?? We bought a new cabinet with an oval mirror for about $120. If your decision is to paint, use high-gloss, this is easy to clean, just a rag and some hand soap. To do the job right, take off the hardware, and the door or doors, and paint them on a flat surface. This avoids peeling and streaks, and give it two coats, let the first dry completely. You can spray the hardware, any color that will contrast with the doors, or buy new hardware, but it's pricey. Aloha!

You can find all the basic instructions for painting online. Do remove everything, clean, sand, etc.

If I were to paint cabinets now, I would use a chalk paint as reviews show it dries so nicely without showing brush strokes.

Standard finish for a bathroom would be a satin. I wouldn't use high gloss as it's just too shiny. Make sure to allow each coat to dry thoroughly!

If you have white bathroom fixtures and a neutral flooring, you can go in any color direction you'd like. Favorite color(s)? For me, right now, I would use a navy for cabinets. It's not too light, not too dark. With white fixtures it would POP!

Don't forget how important hardware is. If you can, spray the existing. Otherwise, I got fabulous prices on the same hardware I chose from Home Depot by shopping it online - cost me 1/10th of HD!
