Pictures please.

And just for clarification, this is a house you own but rent out? Any information you can share helps drill down to the answers you are looking for without making the readers online guess and assume. If you are looking to make this a quick sale, I'd keep it fairly neutral to appeal to the most buyers. Keep the price fair. Do you have a budget for these repairs?

We own this house and had rented it out in the past. We are renovating to sell.

We are doing the work (we have the skills) although I have never painted existing cabinets before. We do want to sell quickly - it's late in the season.

This is in a suburb of San Antonio - there is an Air Force base close by.

First photo is the dark blue with a sample of the floor. Third photo is the gray with the floor sample. Middle photo shows the condition of the cabinets I'm dealing with. (And yes that's drywall compound on the painted door.)

Note these colors are not the NUVO colors - these are Behr samples. The descriptions of the Oxford Blue are that it is a very grayish blue, which is what I've been testing.

I plan to use satin nickel knobs on the doors and cup pulls on the drawers.

The Behr colors are Winter Way (dark blue) and Carbon Copy (gray). The lighter blue in the first picture is Undersea.

Both seem to be acceptable colors.

Are your cabinet re-hab efforts considered quality? I'm skeptical about drywall compound being used to repair wood cabinet doors.

Are those cabinets really worth rehabbing? Admittedly, I know nothing about whether drywall compound could effectively be used in repairing wood cabinets... I'm inclined to say it's probably not the best idea?

I agree with @millworkman... leave it alone and price to sell.

And if you are truly using drywall compound on wood, then definitely stop what you are doing.

Either leave cabinets OR remove them. If you leave them and a buyer sees the damage they’ll wonder about the damage or rest of the property not being cared for. If I was buying I’d rather see empty kitchen and priced so that I could put my own in. But real estate agents may disagree with me.

LOL. No we didn't use drywall compound to rehab the cabinets. We were doing drywall repairs and my test door got in the way. I'm using wood putty to repair the damage.

We are not your average DIYers. My husband does facilities repair at a high end department store and i'm a former bath and kitchen designer. We built our own house doing all the electrical and everything else from the drywall out.

We have done pretty extensive repairs on this house - replaced or painted all the doors. Repaired holes and cracks in the walls. Painted every inch of the interior. Replaced all the floors, lighting fixtures and faucets. It looks like a new house but for the kitchen.

That's why I think a little lipstick in the kitchen is warranted. To leave it as is or tear it out would be a huge red flag and negate all the work we've done already.

Is the NUVO worse than your typical sand-prime-paint-poly redo? I was just hoping that in a kit the pieces would all play nice with each other.

The exact color of the paint is much less important than the quality of the work. Pick something midrange, not stark white or black and not too bright. Any color that complements the floor will be fine.

My products of choice would be RediPatch and PPG Breakthrough.

All those systems are a gimmick and a poor one at that. If you are set on doing this do it right. And poly does not go over paint.......................
