Can I Repaint My Kitchen Cabinets?
June 26, 2020
How do you start this project?
- Buy a pigmented shellac for priming the cabinet surface. I recommend a product such as Zinsser B-I-N® which is designed to stick to glossy surfaces while simultaneously changing color (typically the shellac is white, but you can tint it if you would like to paint your cabinets a different color)
- Follow the instructions on the can, but you should typically do about three coats of the pigmented shellac. It dries very quickly (in about 45 minutes), so you should be able to do all of the coats in a short length of time.
- Now you can apply a finish coat of paint. We recommend using an oil-based paint since it has a harder finish and withstand kitchen treatment better. Oil-based paint also has a smoother finish and looks more factory-finished. You can also use an acrylic/latex paint, but then make sure it is a high-level gloss finish.
Concrete might be tough, but without proper protection, it can wear down from exposure to weather, chemicals, and traffic. That’s where high-performance concrete coatings come in. At LP Concrete Coatings, we specialize in applications that not only extend the life of your concrete surfaces but also enhance their look.
Enhance and protect your Tracy home with durable and stylish concrete coatings.
