I recommend using General Finishes Milk Paint as it hold up great, offers great coverage with little prep work and zero primer! The color I chose was Seagull Gray.
Start by painting the boxes with a brush and foam roller. Two to three coats or until there is no under color showing through.
Using your angle brush, paint the cracks of your doors.
Then paint all flat surfaces with your foam roller.
Give the doors proper time to dry before rehanging to avoid any scratches to your new paint. If you want to add extra protectionAdd Caption
, you can use General Finishes Clear Coat in Flat to add addition strength and avoid chipping over time.
Begin rehanging your doors and watch your kitchen transform!
Add new handles (optional), and sit back and admire your new kitchen!
