Is it better to paint or spray kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>To achieve a smooth, even finish that’s free of brush strokes, spray painting is the way to go. However, it tends to use up more paint due to overspray and can have a learning curve before you perfect your technique. This isn’t to say that a brush or roller isn’t also an excellent tool, so you should test out each technique on a piece of cardboard or spare piece of wood beforehand to see which one gives you your desired look.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if I need to refinish my cabinets?

• <div><p>A few things can indicate cabinet refinishing is a good idea, but the most obvious is any sign of water or steam damage. If the existing paint on your cabinets starts to bubble or flake, it could indicate that water or humidity from cooking or surrounding plumbing fixtures or showers is causing damage. Refinishing can add a protective layer to prevent further issues. You should also consider refinishing every eight to ten years, if your cabinet color or finish is outdated, or if you have scratches or scuffs on the faces.</p></div>

Q: Is spray painting cabinets a good idea?

• <div><p>Many DIYers like to spray paint cabinets because it provides a more even-looking finish than painting with a brush. However, getting comfortable with a spray painter takes time and without practice, you may not spray the surfaces evenly. Take some time to practice painting with a HVLP sprayer on cardboard or scrap wood before diving into your project.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to stain or paint old cabinets?

• <div><p>Whether it&rsquo;s better to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-paint-stain-wood.htm">stain or paint old cabinets</a> depends on your situation, as each option has pros and cons. Paint offers a smooth, modern look, while stain highlights the natural wood grain for a charming, rustic look. Painting cabinets may cost about 15% more than staining cabinets. While paint tends to be more durable against damage because of its thick coating, stained cabinets hide inevitable dings and scratches better than paint.</p></div>

Q: How do you weatherproof outdoor cabinets?

• <div><p>Most professionally-manufactured outdoor cabinets are already weatherproof. Perform regular maintenance and cover your cabinets in the winter to provide even more protection. Wood cabinets are the most vulnerable to damage from weather, but you can prevent damage by applying a sealant or varnish. Reapply as needed based on recommendations for the type of wood and level of wear.</p></div>

I hired Bruce over 2 years ago to paint our stained kitchen cabinets and trim. He recommended oil based paint which was extremely difficult to prep and work around. They taped the room off and brought in a large blower for the fumes. The prep work was impressive, but things quickly went downhill...
