I'm b kotov and I'm Ashley, whether you're remodeling your entire home or just sprucing up one room with a fresh coat of

paint

, we'll show you how to do it right. If your kitchen

cabinets

are outdated you can simply buy new ones or you can simply

paint

them, it is easier and much less expensive as visually

cabinets

take up most of the space in a kitchen so painting them can drastically change everything. the space, so the first thing to consider is the paint color. You'll go with Cody and I made this video on how to choose the right color for your project.

It's like a mini college course on color theory. You can click here to watch it or we'll leave a link in the description below. I think you're going to get a lot out of this. Painting cabinets comes down to three preparation steps. Prime and Paint These cabinets are made of wood, so they should be easy to paint, but even if they weren't, it's only as long as you can fill them. surface with a piece of sandpaper you can paint it you know what time it is baby it's get ready time let's do the get ready dance let's do the get ready get ready get ready next step step step this house is being renovated and the appliances have already been removed which is something we would have had to do anyway, so the first thing we need to do is remove the doors, drawers and hardware.

We will number each door and the cabinet it goes into before removing them. The hardware for each door goes in its own bag. with the number of the door they came off of before starting sanding, we must remove oil or grease from the wood with a general purpose degreaser if the surface is greasy, the primer will not adhere to a place to lend Attention is right here by the stove, this part of the kitchen tends to get very dirty, so it looks like it will take a little effort to remove the bacon grease. Oh, thanks now that everything is clean, we have to look.

Any scratches or holes that we need to fill we can fix any rough spots with a little wood putty and smooth it out with a putty knife. You don't need to fill the hardware holes if you're going to use the same hardware, but if I want to use new hardware with a different screw pattern I need to fill one of those holes and drill a new one now it's time to mask out we're using a combination of painter's tape, paper, plastic and drop cloths to cover everything we don't want to paint and everything we don't want to get dusty, it's time to start sanding and it's going to get dirty.

We're using medium to fine grit sandpaper to remove the first layer of finish from this wood and I. I'm not using much force, I just sand with the grain until the shine is gone, it looks glossy, not glossy, that's how you know what you're ready to paint. We set up a makeshift paint booth in a spare room using drop cloth and painters. plastic, but you don't have to use a spare room like we do, basically any indoor space like a garage or basement will work fine after everything is sanded, we just need to clean all the dust with a vacuum cleaner and a dry brush and now it's done.

It's finally time to prime, yes, finally painting takes a lot of prep work, but the Democrats are rules, you know, prime time, come on, we're going to use this adhesive primer that will seal the wood and create the perfect surface for our paint to adhere. A little trick you can try: you can drill a couple of pilot holes in the doors and then screw these hooks in. Now you can hang it on a coat rack like this one. Makes painting and drying these cabinets much easier. We will use a paint

sprayer

to get a super smooth finish on the cabinets without brush strokes or textures that can be left behind when using paint rollers.

It's simply a faster process. Our airless paint

sprayer

is typically used for large jobs that need a lot of paint thrown at them, such as painting a house or many cabinet doors. For smaller jobs, such as painting a piece of furniture, an HVLP sprayer is perfect if you visit lowes.com/ howto to practice a little on this sheet of paper to make sure the pressure on the sprayer is not too high to be able to apply thin coats of paint. I'm going to hold the sprayer about 12 inches away and start spraying just to the side of the surface, spray all the way to the end and won't stop spraying until I'm completely over the edge.

I'll keep my movement and distance consistent with each pass and overlap them a little for proper coverage, whether we're painting the cabinets or the doors, we'll use the same technique to get a smooth, even finish between coats. Lightly sand to remove any imperfections, such as powder paint. You know, something like that. Before we add some color to these cabinets, we need to remove all the primer from the paint sprayer. We are using water-based paint, so running clean water through the sprayer and washing the components in water is enough to clean it thoroughly before cleaning the sprayer or storing it for long periods of time.

Be sure to read the owner's manual to make sure he is doing it correctly. We are using exclusive Valspar paint. In a satin finish for this project, all of our prep work has led up to this final coat, so it's important not to rush. The general idea is to build up thin layers of paint to achieve a smooth finish. So, honey, what do you think? It looks really cool, cool, I think you mean cool, cool, now that we finally get to the part of the project that I like the most, putting everything back together, getting to this point took a long time, but seeing the finished product makes it worth it the sorrow.

The part that came off these cabinets is 20 years old and just wouldn't look good with a new paint job, so we decided to use these new satin nickel hardware to install the new pools. We have this handy assembly guide to help us. Line everything up, we have used masking tape to mark the holes we will use so we don't mess anything up, it's pretty easy to use, just slide it over the corner of the door, mark the mounting locations for the hardware through the pilot holes, turn on the drill and that's it it's a perfect location every time this kitchen looks great it really works baby and I can honestly say you couldn't have done it without me whatever Cody just said remember that projects like this they should be a fun and inspiring adventure and now you know how to do it right thanks for watching guys if you enjoy this video be sure to hit the like button and let us know in the comments below your best or worst paint color decisions if you're ready .
