Remove all cabinet doors, drawers, handles and hardware. Wipe all surfaces with a clean rag saturated with mineral spirits to remove any surface contamination. You may need to do this twice if there is a heavy buildup of dirt, grease and grime. Change rags frequently to avoid depositing dirt and grease back on to the cabinets. Rags containing mineral spirits should be discarded of properly. | | | | STEP 2
Wash the surface with equal parts of household ammonia and water and rinse well with clean water. Allow the clean surface to dry completely. | | | | STEP 3
Prime the clean, dry surfaces with B-I-N® Shellac-Base Primer. There is no need to sand the surface when using B-I-N, which eliminates the dust and messy clean up often associated with cabinet refinishing. Also, unlike finish paints, B-I-N will adhere to all cabinet surfaces – painted, polyurethaned, unfinished, Formica, plastic, metal and glass – to form a sound base for the topcoat.
Let the primer dry for about an hour. Then apply two coats of top coat.
Tip: If you tint the primer toward the color of your top coat, you can eliminate the need for a second layer of top coat.
Consider choosing an oil-base finish paint over a water-base finish for a harder, more stain-resistant, washable and durable finish. Be sure to read paint manufacturer’s suggestions on drying time for the top coat. | | | | STEP 4
Put your old hardware back on the cabinet doors and drawers, or purchase and install inexpensive new hardware for brand new looking kitchen cabinets. | |
