Whether you have wood bathroom cabinets or another type of surface, cabinet painting restoration is a great way to breathe new life into your home. Repainting your cabinets adds a fresh, updated look that not only beautifies your home, but it also increases its value. Restored and painted cabinetry is a big plus for prospective home buyers as it shows your commitment to maintaining the property and gives them a better idea of what they’re buying into.
Unlike staining or sealing, a paint job will usually require only a few coats to achieve a deep, rich color and durable finish. With proper preparation, sanding between coats, and a thorough cleaning before reassembly, you’ll get the best results out of your paint project.
A quality paint will help to repel moisture, which is particularly important for bathroom furniture. A semi-gloss or high-gloss finish will protect your bathroom cabinets from stains and moisture much more effectively than flat or eggshell finishes. Additionally, dark shades hide dirt and grime better than lighter colors.
Preparing your workspace for painting is the most difficult part of the process. It’s a good idea to use drop cloths and tape to protect surfaces you don’t want to paint, such as countertops, backsplashes, or adjacent wall areas. It’s also a good idea to take safety precautions when working with oil-based paint, such as wearing a respirator mask and ensuring that your work area is well-ventilated. Open windows and turn on a ventilation fan to prevent the buildup of odors.
Once the sanding and prep is complete, it’s time to start applying your base coat. Ensure that you’ve followed the recommended drying and curing times, and apply a second coat if necessary. After you’ve applied a final coat of your chosen color, wait for the finish to cure completely before reinstalling your cabinet doors and drawer fronts.
