  • factory finish

Let’s first talk about our process for painting kitchen cabinets.

Painting Kitchen Cabinets In Rockville Is A Process We Have Mastered

The kitchen cabinets need to be cleaned with a degreaser. 

They are oily due to the natural oils on our hands and the food that is transferred to them.

Those oils must be removed entirely if the primer is to grab. See the picture on the right.

The cabinets pictured on the right started peeling in a few short months. 

The second crucial aspect to consider is the paint.   

While some premium-grade paints may appear suitable, they may not self-level. 

We have extensively tested the leading cabinet-grade paints, empowering you with the knowledge of the most durable options.

Using a premium-grade interior satin or semi-gloss paint is not a good option. 

Why? 

They don’t self-level as well as cabinet paint. 

If you want a factory finish, we need to use paint that has a very smooth finish.

Moreover, it’s important to note that many premium-grade paints do not self-level like cabinet paint. 

To achieve a factory finish on your kitchen cabinet, following specific protocols is essential, providing you with a guided path to success.

These cabinets will need to be stripped down to resolve the peeling and have a factory finish.
These modest kitchen cabinets received several coats of white cabinet grade paint which will give them a durable finish for years!

Which Primer Fuses To The Cabinets?

 

If your kitchen cabinets are wood with a stained finish, chances are excellent that they have a lacquer finish. Choosing the right primer to adhere to is critical.  There are many different primers, such as latex, oils, and shellac primers.  Shellac is the best choice because it fuses with the lacquer finish.  The other primers may stick for a while but can lose their adhesion over time. 

One of the benefits of Shellac primer is that it dries in minutes and can be top-coated in 30- 60 minutes.   

One of the disadvantages is that it has a powerful odor and good ventilation is necessary.
