Painting Kitchen Cabinets, Kitchen Redo for $150.00

by Karin Carson

I needed to redo our kitchen cabinets and couldn't see spending over $2500 just for new doors. There are 48 doors in my kitchen with two six foot pantry doors, and three large drawers and six other drawers. I live in BC Canada and the pulls alone we're going to be close to $500.00. I found them in EBay for $60.00 including delivery. I used the Binz 123 primer, cleaned them with TSP and used Berh Cabinet paint.

A year later they are still going strong. I was amazed at the difference that it has made, took about 4 days. The cabinets were the European melmine with the wooden pulls, great in the 1980's not so much now. I am so happy with the outcome.

  You could find the colour you like in paint chip then tape a few into your cabinet and stand away from it and see if you like them .
