It’s easy to breathe new life into your kitchen cabinets and units with our scrubbable, stain-resistant cabinet paint. Below are our step-by-step guides to painting kitchen cabinetry using our two toughest interior finishes: Flat Eggshell (low sheen) and Modern Eggshell (mid sheen).
Make sure the surface to be painted is clean, completely dry, and in good condition, free of grease, mould, or residue
Repair and seal any major imperfections (holes, cracks, open joints) before painting
Light and neutral colors are ideal for visually enlarging a space. Soft whites, light grays, pale beiges, and warm off-whites reflect more light, making walls appear farther apart and the room feel more open.
Dark shades can make a small room feel more intimate and cozy, but they tend to visually reduce the space if natural light is limited. When used sparingly, such as on a single accent wall or in a well-lit room, they can add character without making the space feel heavy.
Satin and semi-gloss finishes are generally recommended for high-traffic spaces. They are more resistant to wear and can withstand regular cleaning without losing their appearance.
Opening windows and doors is essential to ensure proper air circulation. Using fans directed toward the outside helps remove odors and fumes more quickly. It is recommended to maintain constant ventilation throughout the painting process and continue for 24 to 48 hours after application.
It is generally recommended to paint the ceiling first. This helps prevent paint splatters from damaging freshly painted walls and makes it easier to achieve clean, precise edges.
Use a soft cloth or a non-abrasive sponge with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges and harsh cleaning products, as they can damage the finish over time.
