How can I easily and inexpensively paint dark kitchen cabinets?

Kelly...Clean well, sand where needed, prime (maybe 2 or 3 coats) then paint.. could also be 2 or more coats. Good luck

It's never to hard, just time consuming. Need to mark and remove all doors, drawers and hardware. Clean with TSP Sand off sheen, prime with Oil based primer, lightly sand and paint with 2 coats of oil based paint.

I completely agree with Kelli. It is time consuming, but totally worth taking the extra time to complete each step methodically and don't cut corners. Post some before and after photos-we'd love to see them. Good luck!

Hi Kelly! I can tell you how to paint your kitchen cabinets with Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint! :)

It is super easy to paint with Dixie Belle:

Step one: Clean with White Lightning

Step two: If the surface is slippery, apply two coats of Slick Stick. If you are concerned with bleed through, apply two coats of BOSS instead.

Step three: Paint one to two coats of Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint

Step four: Use Gator Hide for a water-repellent finish

I am attaching some kitchens that have been painted with Dixie Belle Paint so you can see the outcome.
