My New Favorite Way to Paint Kitchen Cabinets

The primer goes on looking like glue, but dries clear. This is handy for leaving your kitchen looking normal while you wait a couple of days for the primer to dry.

Time to paint! I started by filling in the smaller areas with a small brush. Then I rolled on the paint over the larger areas, using a 6″ foam roller. I also found it helpful to lightly drag a clean paintbrush over the just-rolled areas as I was going, just to make sure there was no roller texture left behind.
I did two coats of paint. There’s no need to sand in between coats. Yay!

Be careful of drips in the corners. This paint doesn’t drip or sag very easily, but you still have to watch where the most paint accumulates.

This is how the kitchen looked while I was painting the doors. Not too bad!

Then I took the doors off to can paint the frames. Be sure to label your doors BEFORE you remove them! And check out my blog post for tips on the easiest way to keep track of which door goes to which cabinet.
