My Knowledge of Painting Cabinets
I have become reluctantly skilled at painting cabinets over the last few years, though I’m not sure how it happened. The fact that I keep buying ugly houses may be why I’ve become a professional painter. I don’t set out to do it as a profession, but I’ve saved so much money you could say it’s my second job.
As well as cabinets, I’ve painted dressers, chairs, tables, RV cabinets, and RV cabinets. There have been wood, laminates, stained, and unfinished tables. There have been Maple, Oak, brand new, and 40 years old.
Through each project, I have learned a few lessons, which I document in blog posts. In a moment, I’ll link to those projects, so you can find out more about them.

The worst case scenario would be to get halfway through a project and fail to complete it!
In this article, I will explain how to choose the right products for painting cabinets, what methods are most effective, and what questions you’re most likely to ask about the whole process.
Cabinet Painting Products: Selecting the Best
Here we go, everyone. Surely this is the reason you’ve come to the meeting. If you want to paint your cabinets, but do not know what kind of paint to use, and what tools to use, you can contact my company.
It could be that you are standing in the paint store right now, researching your options. You have an endless number of options, and picking the wrong one could result in a disaster and hours wasted on a failed project.
There is no need to panic: you are at the right place, and I won’t let that happen.
As compared to my favorite (but still useful) options, I would like to share three best-practice options for cabinet painting products. I will also explain why I prefer each option.
If you have furniture or cabinets that aren’t made of wood, I’ll share more options for painting laminate cabinets.
