How to Paint Inside Old Kitchen Cabinets

Repainting old kitchen cabinets is a great way to update your kitchen without breaking the bank. It's a relatively simple project that can be completed in a weekend with the right tools and materials.

Before you start, you'll need to gather the following materials:

Paint
Primer
Paintbrush or roller
Sandpaper
Tack cloth
Screwdriver
Painter's tape

Once you have all of your materials, you can start by removing the doors and drawers from the cabinets. If the hardware is old or damaged, you may want to replace it now. Once the doors and drawers are removed, you can start cleaning them. Use a damp cloth to wipe away any dirt or grease. Allow the doors and drawers to dry completely before you start painting.

The next step is to sand the doors and drawers. This will help to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to. Use a fine-grit sandpaper and sand in the direction of the grain. Once you have sanded the doors and drawers, wipe them down with a tack cloth to remove any dust.

Now you're ready to start painting. Apply a thin coat of primer to the doors and drawers. Allow the primer to dry completely before you apply the paint. Once the primer is dry, you can apply two coats of paint. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.

Once the paint is dry, you can reattach the doors and drawers to the cabinets. If you're happy with the results, you're all done! Enjoy your newly painted kitchen cabinets.
