Cabinet painting is a complex process. Many homeowners attempt to take on this project themselves, only to find out later that the stress and hassle proves too much. 

But be encouraged—you can have a successful DIY outcome when you know which steps to prioritize and which to avoid. And as always, you can trust N-Hance cabinet refinishing in Lowcountry for a price that’s still affordable but without the headache.  

Here are some of the most common cabinet painting faux pas we see among daring home and business owners throughout Lowcountry: 

  • Failure to clean the wood thoroughly prior to painting.
  • Not removing doors, drawers, hinges, and hardware first and labeling where they go. 
  • Not allowing enough time to complete the project. Keep in mind DIY cabinet painting will take about a week, not just one afternoon or one day.
  • Not sanding cabinets enough, or at all. This keeps paint from sticking to the surface.
  • Leaving dust on cabinet surfaces before painting.
  • Not using primer, or using a kind intended for walls instead of cabinets. 
  • Missing edges and corners by not propping or elevating cabinets when painting.
  • Using the wrong type of paint. Latex paint intended for walls shouldn’t be used on cabinets.
  • Select the wrong paint color. 
  • Reassembling cabinets too soon, which smudges or dings the paint.

As you can see, there are a lot of intricate steps in the cabinet painting process. That’s why it can be helpful to enlist the help of a professional cabinet painter.
