Painting Cabinets Creates a New Look

Fixing cabinet surfaces can be less expensive than buying and installing new ones.   Whether deciding to paint the cabinet surfaces a solid color or wood graining them to create a new look, the work and effort is worth the time invested.  


Any cabinet surface can be wood grained  to bring out the original look of the cabinet.  The cabinet color can be changed to match  new or existing decor.

• The surfaces  should be lightly sanded. 
• Then spot putty should be used to cover the imperfections. 
•  After the spot putty dries, it should be sanded until smooth.   
• Two or three spot putty applications may be required to cover the spot completely

•  The spots should be sanded after each fill.  
• A special primer is then put on the surface and allowed to dry. 

• The primer is lightly sanded before the final coat is applied.  One or two final coats may be needed, depending the color and type of paint used.   

This is  a basic outline procedure of how to fix, change, or repair cabinet surfaces.   Be sure to check with a quality paint store or call a qualified painter if you have questions.
