Looking to give your kitchen a fresh, updated look without breaking the bank? Repainting your cabinets can be the perfect solution. In this blog post, we'll take you through an inspiring cabinet painting project in Atwater, CA, where we transformed old and worn oak cabinets into a stunning focal point using a contrasting color scheme. Discover how a pop of color on the island and the expertise of our lead painter, Ashoor and crew, brought new life to this kitchen.
Painting Cabinets with Contrasting Colors for Visual Interest:
One of the current trends in kitchen design is the use of a contrasting color island. This technique adds visual interest and creates a captivating focal point. For this project, our client opted for a classic yet modern approach, choosing Snowbound for the cabinets and Iron Ore for the island. The combination of these colors brightened up the room, while bringing depth and sophistication to the space-instantly transforming it into a stylish and inviting kitchen.
Saving Time and Money with Repainting:
Repainting cabinets offers significant advantages over the costly and time-consuming process of cabinet replacement. By choosing to repaint their cabinets, our client not only saved money but also avoided the need for a lengthy kitchen remodel. With our expertise in cabinet painting and refinishing, we were able to refresh the worn-out oak cabinets, giving them a brand-new appearance and extending their lifespan.
Expert Leadership and Impeccable Results:
Ashoor, our talented lead painter, led the team in this cabinet painting project. With years of experience and a keen eye for detail, Ashoor and team ensured that every surface was meticulously prepared, cleaned, and primed before applying the new paint. The result was a smooth, factory-like finish that exceeded our client's expectations.

FAQ:
Q: What does the process look like?
A: First, we remove all of the doors, drawers, and hardware as well as label everything. Next, we clean all of the surfaces to remove any dirt and grease that may have built up over time. Then, we sand everything to degloss the wood. This ensures that the primer can properly adhere to all surfaces. After priming, we sand again to make sure that everything is smooth and prepped for paint. We then go through and caulk joints, trim pieces, etc. for a flawless finish. Finally, we apply two coats of high quality finish paint. Once everything is dry, we put everything back together, clean up, and put fresh bumpers on the backs of all doors and drawer faces for a softer close and to prolong the life of your paint and hardware.
Q: How do I care for painted cabinets?
A: Typically, you can wipe down your cabinets with a damp cloth. If further cleaning is needed, use a mild detergent and warm water.
Q: How long does it take for the paint to fully dry?
A: The paint dries on the surface very quickly. Once your doors and drawers are reinstalled they are dry to the touch and ready to be used! However, it takes up to a month for the paint to fully “cure”, or harden.
Q: Is the project done onsite?
A: We spray cabinet doors and drawers in our mobile spray booth, or bring them to the spray booth at our shop in Denair to minimize the mess in the home as much as possible.
Q: Can you install hardware in the doors and drawers?
A: Yes, we can install your new hardware for an additional charge.
Q: Will the wood grain still show?
A: While the wood grain will be less pronounced after painting, it will still be visible.
