There are many different cabinet paints on the market; fortunately, I have tested and compared many of them.
Choosing the wrong kitchen cabinet paint can leave you with a couple of problems. First, if you want a smooth factory finish, you’ll need a cabinet paint that self-levels. Secondly, the paint needs to be durable so that when oils get on the doors and drawers, it won’t scratch off around the handles.
A common misconception when choosing the right paint for kitchen cabinets is the more expensive the paint, the better.
Expensive paints do self-level, but they are not necessarily the most durable paints for kitchen cabinets.
Any premium grade interior paint is fine for painting kitchen cabinets.
Many DIYers use a semi-gloss sheen when a satin finish is a more commonly used sheen for painting kitchen cabinets.
Some of the best kitchen cabinet paints are Ben Moore Advance, Ben Moore Command, and PPG UltraLast.
