Traditional Cabinet Refinishing

INFERIOR PRODUCTS

• Products used by painters are typically not designed for cabinets.
• Leaves a waxy build-up, which can cause problems with paint adhering to the wood.
• Some painters use wall primer rather than cabinet primer, such as the primer used by N-Hance which is formulated specifically for cabinets.
• The most common paint used by painters is a latex paint that is designed to be used on walls, not cabinets. These types of products don’t adhere well to cabinets and do not offer the same durability that N-Hance products provide.

LACK OF TECHNOLOGY

• Painters often paint cabinets with a paintbrush, which can leave brush marks and an uneven finish.
• Typically, no top coat is applied and the paint on the cabinets is left vulnerable to scratches, smudges, chips, and peeling. This also leaves your cabinets looking like they’ve been painted, rather than the factory-like finish that N-Hance provides.
• Cabinets are left to air-dry, which can be a real problem in high-humidity climates or rooms, such as bathrooms. This leaves your new paint finish susceptible to dust particles, smudges, dripping and fingerprints.

INFERIOR PROCESS

• Process varies from painter to painter:
  • May clean the cabinets
  • Rarely seals the cabinets
  • If the primer is used it is likely wall primer, which doesn’t provide the same durability as N-Hance’s cabinet primer

• A top coat is usually not applied, leaving your cabinets prone to future damage.
• Paint can take days to dry.
