The Steps for Painting Your Cabinets with Benjamin Moore® Cabinet Coat
A fresh coat of paint on your cabinets is a great way to breathe new life into any kitchen. Beyond refreshing the aesthetics, painting cabinets provide an opportunity to conceal damage and scratches, giving your room a whole new look with the same cabinets. Additionally, fresh paint adds a personalized touch, enabling you to tailor the color scheme to match your evolving home decor. Repainting cabinets offers a flexible, cost-effective way to refresh and revive your living spaces, and there is no better paint for this kind of project than Benjamin Moore® cabinet coat paint:
Select Your Benjamin Moore® Paint
Choosing the best Benjamin Moore® paint color for your cabinetry is an important process that will take some time and consideration. There are a lot of colors to choose from! Start by considering the design of your space, such as counters, flooring, and overall color scheme, as well as the size of the space. For smaller rooms, lighter cabinet colors can create the perception of spaciousness. However, deeper tones in larger rooms evoke a sense of coziness. Remember the undertones in the paint options since this will also influence how the color interacts with their surroundings. This initial step can seem overwhelming, but remember that our expert color consultants are here to help!
Prep the Cabinets for Painting
For a paint-ready surface, your first step is to clean the cabinets to eliminate any traces of grease, dirt, or debris. Then, once clean, sand the surfaces to remove old finishes or paint and create a fresh surface the new paint will be able to adhere to properly. We recommend removing cabinet hardware, doors, and drawers to make this process easier.
Prime and Paint for a Whole New Room
Before you paint, apply Benjamin Moore® Paint Primer to the sanded cabinet surfaces. Primer enhances paint adhesion and guarantees an even finish for the final paint job. Please note the primer must fully dry before moving on to painting. Once the primer is dry, it's time to paint! Choose a durable paint for cabinets, such as Benjamin Moore® INSL-X® Specialty Coatings in the color of your choosing. This paint revives cabinets with a smooth satin or semi-gloss finish and comes in a massive variety of beautiful colors. A high-quality brush or a paint sprayer aids in achieving that smooth and professional-looking finish and can speed up your project time.
Re-Assemble the Cabinets and Enjoy
Once the final coat of cabinet paint has thoroughly dried, it's time to reattach the hardware, doors, and drawers. Secure each element to bring the cabinets back to their fully functional state. Now it's time to enjoy your beautifully re-finished cabinetry!
