Preparation is the most crucial and, really, the only secret to a lasting paint job on laminate cabinets. Paint will peel off laminate surfaces that aren't clean and grease-free. Paint will also peel off if there isn't proper etching on the cabinet surfaces. Taking time to deep clean and lightly but thoroughly sand before priming and painting will greatly increase your chances of success and help keep the paint from peeling.

To prepare for cabinet refinishing or refacing, it’s important to remove all items from the cabinetry in question. In addition, clear any clutter from the room, whether it's the kitchen, bathroom, or otherwise. Be sure to have additional cabinet materials, such as cabinet hardware, lights, and glass inserts, ready for your cabinet installer to use.

Finally, if you have pets, ensure they are in a safe, separate location away from your cabinet professionals, who will bring materials in and out of your home during the process.

Painting the kitchen cabinets, whether done by a professional or as a DIY, can add value to your home. A fresh coat of paint is especially effective when adding new hardware to upgrade your cabinets’ look without the expense of replacing them entirely.

The process involves cleaning surfaces, removing old finishes, sanding, applying new stains or paint, and sealing to protect, ensuring a rejuvenated appearance that lasts.
