It will take a LOT of work to repaint those cabinets. Much more than you think.

Do you have any pictures to share? I think people may assume you have an enormous kitchen, when you may only have a few cabinets?

I'll try to post a picture later. I would say it is not enormous, but large. Thank you.

Look - you will have to remove all the doors and pulls, and hinges. You have to remove all the grease. Sand lightly, tack it off. Paint two or three coats on the doors. Also do the same for the cabinets face frame. And put it back together. A BIG project.

Just give up on your idea of White Dove walls for this room. Pick a color that complements the cabinets and other elements in your kitchen and call it done!

Glazing won't help.

Change the bulbs to LEDs in 4000K range before choosing wall color that should help a bit with the yellow I agree glazed cabinets aways look dirty and if they were mine and i loved my kitchen layout I would have them painted for sure even if it was expensive. I have no idea why it makes sense to decorate a space around something you hate.

I wouldn’t glaze the cabinets. If you don’t want to repaint them I would choose a wall color that will look better with them and make them appear less yellow and as Patricia Colwell suggested better lighting.

Whenever I watch "House Hunters" and somebody says, "We can repaint the cabinets. That's an easy job!", I think, "oh, you poor innocent fools, you have no idea."

Here is how I would expect a pro to spray paint kitchen cabinets. An amateur job should follow the same path. A brush painted job would differ slightly in that you wouldn't hang the doors to paint. You'd place them on a work table or easel instead. It's time intensive work, and should take 7-14 days for a Pro to accomplish completely and cost between 8--10K depending on kitchen size and amount of detail in cabinets.

Remove doors and drawer fronts.

Remove hinges and hardware.

Clean with Spic and Span

Rinse and let dry.

Scrape any loose finish.

Fill any damaged spots or hardware holes that won't be reused.

Sand fill smooth.

Scuff sand the rest.

Tack off dust.

Hang in dust free paint booth with wires through hardware points to spray both sides. Or lay on a spinner, and do one side at a time.

Tack off dust again.

Spray with shellac based primer.

Scuff sand again.

Tack off dust.

Spray with second coat of primer.

Spray with first finish coat of a polyurethane enamel (DIY) Or conversion varnish, (Pro product) . NOT house paint. Never house paint.

Spray with second coat.

If glazing is to occur, that is next.

Spray with clear over glaze that is compatible with base coat and glaze.

Add more molding or decorative details to boxes, filling nail holes and sanding smooth.

Repeat prep process with face frames and exposed cabinet sides using plastic to create a spray booth on site. If interiors are to be done, they are done before face frames and sides. Interiors are difficult, and add both time and expense to the job. Most interiors are laminate and don't accept paint well.

Allow everything to fully cure. That's 7-14 days.

Clean hinges and hardware and clear coat if you're keeping the old hardware.

Install new (or old) hinges and hardware.

Re-install doors and drawers and adjust for proper clearances.

If you are receiving or doing a job without this amount of effort, then you are not getting a quality job. You are getting a poor quality job that will not last. Anyone who paints cabinets with the doors on should be fired immediately. If they paint the hardware too, go straight to smacking them also, and saving the world from such complete ineptness.

You have that exactly right, catlady 999. It isnt really all that hard, but, it is a lot of work, and it takes a whole lot of time to do a proper job, if you do them on your own. I really despise glazing on anything, and would never do that. Like others have said pick a color that goes with your kitchen, and leave the white dove for another house someday, or if you decide to do a full remodel. Proper lighting comes first though.

@greendesigns still waiting to see your project. We hand finish everything we do and do not want our cabinets to look mechanically done or like cheap sprayed furniture.
