How to paint new factory painted kitchen cabinets?
Comments (1)I think you mean HVLP (High velocity low pressure). You really don't need to strip them if you are just painting over the existing paint. Liquid sandpaper is for lazy people who don't want to sand...it's like cheating and your results may not be as good unless you really sand. The idea is to dull the sheen some to promote adhesion of the new paint....See MoreHardware change for 80's oak cabinets
Comments (19)I actually think the cabinets, floor, countertop and ORB hardware go very nicely together. Your backsplash looks pretty new and is lovely, so you can ignore this suggestion, but I think that it is the one element that could be tweaked a little to tie everything together better. Check out this gorgeous kitchen from Pepper Design Blog -- her cabinets and countertops are very similar to yours, and she also has dark hardware. Adding a green/grey glass backsplash and re-grouting your floors with a dark gray grout might look really nice. One of the many great things about the PDB kitchen is that the green tones in the backsplash give the orange cabinets a modern and Spanish-style look. Someone wise once said "there are no bad colors, just bad color combinations!"...See MorePainted Cabinets (factory painted, not self paint)
Comments (1)It's really easy to rub stain into a scratch on a wood door and make it hardly noticeable. I decided against paint for my new kitchen without any children (much less five under five!) and no animals, because I knew there would be scratches and I knew I wouldn't like the resulting "patina". You can paint out scratches a bit, but it's hard with a factory paint job. Factory paint is more durable than brushed paint, but brushed paint is easier to "fix". So... how much do you like the white vs. how much do you hate bumps and scratches? Would you ever consider something as unstylish as melamine? As expensive as lacquer? Do you expect to move or redo your kitchen by the time your kids are in their teens? Or when they're out of the house? Or do you expect this kitchen to survive their childhood?...See MoreFactory painted cabinets don’t match.t
Comments (2)take color match offer from company on condition all will be replaced if this doesn’t work. I try not to pre-pay more than a nominal down payment. Your GC should be negotiating on your behalf....See Morekimkau55
