Gather your tools and materials.
Remove everything from your countertops, cabinets, and drawers. This is the perfect opportunity to declutter!
Remove and number doors and drawers. Store any hardware you're saving in labeled plastic bags.
Vacuum cabinet boxes and degrease with TSP substitute.
Remove all of the appliances if possible so you can give the cabinets an all-over finish.
Seal off all other surfaces with plastic sheets and painter's tape to protect from overspray.
Sand cabinet faces with 80 grit sandpaper using your orbital sander attached to a shop vac to gather dust.
Fill in grain and other imperfections with a thin layer of Drydex spackle using a putty knife.
Sand with 220 grit sandpaper. Follow with a dry tack cloth, removing all dust.
Use a mini roller and brush to prime the cabinets with an oil-based primer.
Sand the primed cabinets by hand with a 320 grit sanding block. Remove all resulting dust with a shop vac.
Repeat steps 10 and 11.
Prep all of your drawers and cabinet doors for painting by cleaning with TSP substitute and repeating steps 7 through 12.
(optional) Fill all cracks and detail with caulk.
Prep your paint and paint sprayer with the correct dilution of distilled water.
Test your paint sprayer to make sure there's no orange peel.
Using your paint sprayer, paint your cabinet boxes with smooth and continuous strokes. Paint small areas and tough angles first!
Set up doors and drawers in an upright position on plastic and spray. I recommend a minimum of two coats.
