Choosing the right paint for your cabinet project is very critical. Opt for paint designed for cabinets, which generally is much more durable and resistant to wear and tear. Most popular latex and oil-based paints have their advantages. Latex paint is quick-drying and easily cleaned up. Oil-based paint, on the other hand, produces a smooth finish and provides better overall durability.
Also, in painting your cabinets, make use of quality brushes and rollers for a smooth coat. You may want to begin with a primer and then follow up with the paint of your choice. One thing to remember here is that it is usually considerably better to have multiple layers of thin paint, rather than to attempt to paint one coating thick enough to cover that results in drips and streaks. For the best outcome, let each coat dry totally before adding the next.
Allow the paint to dry completely, then reinstall hardware and cabinet doors. Go over the cabinets to make sure there are no errors or spots that were missed to touch up. Additional protection against wear and tear of your newly painted cabinets from scratches and stains can be made to last even longer by adding a clear topcoat or a sealer. Low maintenance and easy to clean.
