Repaint kitchen cabinets with chalk paint.

I would definitely recommend chalk paint if you are considering painting your cabinets as it s so easy to use and provides a great end result we got the look of a brand new kitchen for just a fraction of the price by choosing to paint our cabinets instead of gut the whole thing.
Learning how to paint your kitchen cabinets may seem intimidating at first but it really was such a breeze.
Of course they are your cabinets and you can always experiment with just touching them up as you please but for the best long term durability wax should be removed before painting again.
Use an annie sloan flat brush for a smooth finish.
Mask off the interiors with painters tape for a clean finish and sand only the front surfaces and visible edges of the cabinet face.
When dry resand all surfaces lightly to prepare them for the second coat wipe away all sanding dust with a tack cloth then repaint.
If your repainting project is just a facelift for the cabinets you don t need to sand and paint the inside of the cabinets.
Chalk paint is porous and so eventually those knots will bleed through your extra coat of white chalk paint.
Two coats of quality paint are usually sufficient but you may want to add a third coat because kitchen cabinets take lots of punishment from cooking heat and day to day use and wood surfaces need all the.
Paint the cupboards in your chosen chalk paint.
