COLOR
Familiarizing yourself withthe color wheel can help
you understand how tobest mix and match a
cool color with a warmone, for a naturally
balanced room andcabinets.
Remove the doors,drawers and hardware tomake everything easier.
2. CLEANING
CLEAN THE SURFACE
SANDING
Evaluate the surface ofthe piece that you’d like to
paint. For furniture thathas badly chipped paint
or rough edges, get somefine grit sandpaper and
start sanding until allsurfaces are nice and
smooth
Thoroughly clean thecabinets with a spongeand denatured alcohol toremove any traces of dirtand grease, getting intoany nooks and crannies.Denatured alcohol emitsfumes, so be sure theroom is well ventilated.Let the surface air-dry.
Apply a coat of prime andlet the cabinet dry. The
drying time usually variesbetween 1 and 4 hours.
PAINTING
The better the brush, thebetter the finish. Don'trush this part -- you'llneed two or three thincoats in order to achievea fine finish. Thin coatscreate fewer brushstrokesand give better dryingtime and adhesion. Allowthe paint to dry for fourhours between coats.
PRIME THE SURFACE
REMOVE EXCESS PIGMENT
Use a second, cleanbrush to remove excesspigment -- you canremove as little or asmuch as you want. (Thisis called a negativetechnique.) Wipe off thebrush with paper towelsas you work. That's allthere is to it!
