Painting kitchen cupboards with vinyl wrap removed?

Hello,

If cabinets are clean and free from sticky then use either Chalk paint and sealer or use a Primer, Undercoat and then either a Satin or a gloss paint, or you could use a stain and then seal that with either Clear Wax or Antique Wax. Enjoy the journey!

You will need to give them a good sanding and then prime them before painting them the color of your choice. A good latex enamel should work just fine.

• Lightly sand to make sure the paint and primer will grip the wood. Prime with a good stain blocking primer like Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3.
• KILZ Original Multi-Surface Primer/Sealer.
• Zinsser Cover Stain Interior/Exterior Oil Primer Sealer.
• Rust-Oleum Advanced Synthetic Shellac Primer.
• Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Latex Primer.

Lightly sand again and then paint with a good acrylic paint from Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams. No sealing needed. Oh Behr Marquee is also good.

Do not try chalk paint, it will NOT last.

Hi Lesley, you can chalk paint them,

Chalk paint will not last in a kitchen.

By vinyl wrap, do you mean melamine or what is called foil? If you have exposed the wrong particleboard or medium density fiber board, you can’t use a water-based paint on the cabinets - as they will “mushroom”.

I’m unsure as to what you’re referring to by the vinyl wrap but I used a kit by Rust-Oleum called Cabinet Transformations to paint my cabinets. You can see how I did it here: https://www.flippingtheflip.com/2015/09/kitchen-cabinets-black.html

Valspar cabinet enamel worked well for me.

You will have to remove any sticky residue from the old vinyl. Then a light sanding, then a coat or two of primer/sealer, then a washable kitchen paint.

OMG, all that work people are getting you to do! Clean the doors with sugar soap, wear rubber gloves, and make sure there is no residue or grease on them. Once absolutely dry you can paint them with an all in one primer/sealer paint from Zinnser which dries in an hour and leaves a lovely washable, hardwearing finish. Use a nice dense foam roller and two thin coats. I did mine just after Christmas after hating my kitchen ever since I moved in 4 years ago and wished I had done it sooner. Good luck and don't break your back or your bank balance.

Here is something you can read about on my blog, I painted my cabinets that had a shiny surface which I had to sand, they really came great, you can apply this to your cupboards since you remove the vinyl wrap.https://www.simplenaturedecorblog.com/5-tips-on-painting-laundry-room-cabinets-week-2/

Hi there,

Remove the sticky residue by chemical or sanding, then Prime the wood, then undercoat and top coat them.
