DIY Kitchen Cabinet Painting | the CHEAP & EASY way!

[@JanColdwater]

I saw a good tip. Start painting the BACK of all cabinet doors, let dry and flip over so that the last is the face to be painted so you don’t have to lay the face down on any wood or other surface, that can damage or chip the face of the cabinets.

[@anjelopina1549]

Good point!

[@laural8370]

I am doing so at my first try, figured it myself. Pretty proud .😊

[@themateomusic]

Nice work! I don’t have a right angle drill adapter so when trying to unscrew something at an odd angle I use a socket wrench and have found that my phillips head bits (single sided, not the double sided bits containing phillips/flathead options) will fit snug within a 10mm or 11mm socket.

[@CasualBuilds]

Thanks Mateo! That's a great idea, should have done that instead!

[@JJ-zc7yu]

So now months later, how are they holding up? I noticed that there was no sealer over the paint and I wonder if that is needed. TIA

[@lindabarratt8413]

Love heirloom traditions paint, I also did my kitchen spruce. It's been a year and not a scratch.

[@3cacaonut]

Did you seal it?

[@lindabarratt8413]

No sealer

[@alonsoarocha9768]

Good job brother I like this color. Two quick tips...One, always pour paint using the back side of can so it doesn't get paint on the front where it tells you what product it is. Two, paint back first then front of door cabinet/drawer

[@slozenger9000]

There's really no reason to get any paint down the side of the tin if you're careful. At worst wipe it quickly off with a brush...

[@CoffeeCrazy]

The name is usually on the top if mixed on a label.

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

You explained it so well! I feel like even i can try this

[@CasualBuilds]

Thanks Taylor! You could definitely do it for your kitchen.

[@sfwatxyo2162]

​@@CasualBuildsHow long did the project take?

[@mismatmom]

Love this color! Almost finished with my kitchen cabinets. Dont know why i waited so long to do it. Used powder tsp and wore gloves. Water turned black from cleaning. Applied one coat tinted primer, two coats paint. Dont let lazy paint guy tell you he cant tint primer. This is so easy and seems like solid paint job.

[@kimwalker6265]

You had me at, " thanks Bud." I love a guy that loves dogs :)

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome work, dude! It really turned out fantastic! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@CasualBuilds]

Thank you!!

[@refrigeratortrimkits]

Paint can make a HUGE difference. We love that color too!

[@meredithknight-bx8gt]

I painted my kitchen cabinets ( with new hardware) & it came out beautiful

[@Katkhalikai]

My mom wants to redo her cabinets and I’m her “handy man” 😂 thank you for this video ❤

[@Jmortonvids]

Holy cow, I'm 10 seconds into the video. I have solid OAK throughout my house, your "before" kitchen looks just like mine. I love the new teal design with the black hardware, under cabinet lighting, and white countertop! MAJOR TRANSFORMATION. Instant sub!

[@ricktemple6469]

His cabinets are maple not oak . unless you use a filler on the oak grain and sand and probably need to do it at least twice the grain will show thru ,lot of time and patience to get a smooth finish .

[@kathyhenry2362]

you're thorough and organized...love it

[@boilani2007]

thanks for this video tip, now im ready to paint my Kitchen cabinets! God bless Bro!

[@ohbrytbirdy]

Love the color you used, your cabinets turned out beautifully!🤩 ✨

[@EmESmith-est1996]

I used heirloom all in one on my front door. It's amazing. Highly recommend as well. Don't try to substitute. You'll have to prime first.

[@lindahill1199]

Thank you for the great video and your top tools link. Appreciate you so much.

[@Mr6saabs]

This video was very enjoyable. Your explanations are short and clear, the pace of your delivery is on the money, camera angles are great, and the length makes the experience enjoyable. I will definitely look at your other videos when renovations are required. Thank you.

[@MrJdubbya36]

Hmm, I'm just about done doing my kitchen in a slightly brighter shade of blue gray, but I rolled it with a nap roller than back brushed it. No big difference that I can see but it might have been easier to do your way. I just pulled almost the last batch of doors in from the garage today and did find one that had some drips on one edge so I'll sand that back down tomorrow and retouch it up. It's looking pretty good and WAY cheaper than putting in new cabinets or having someone else paint them.

[@wazzouz]

Super helpful video. Much appreciated. My biggest question was whether the cabinets need to be sanded. The TSP Substitute cleaner was a great suggestion. Much appreciated.

[@rosiefroese5461]

Thanks for this tutorial. It seems less daunting when you explain it.

[@rlatimer1962]

Love the way teach. Your teaching style makes folks feel that they can do it. Thank you. The cabinets came out beautifully. My question is what extra step could I take if I wanted to remove the grain look? I have oak and wanted them to look smooth without the grain. Thank you for all the help.

[@rebeccamiller8772]

Me too! There was so much grain. I tried a few different things I saw on KZbin but the best was actually the cheapest. I brushed on watered down drywall mud, let it dry, sanded, sprayed on some shellac based primer, and now I’m painting them and they look good!

[@briannaaninger5820]

Husband here. Doing a light sanding to take the grain out can help. A primer as well with another coat of paint.

[@deborahross3444]

Good job. I enjoyed painting cabinet for idiots. I appreciate your simplicity. Beautiful ❤

[@trenanicholson823]

Thank you so much. Your video was short and very simple, I needed this for some cabinet doors that I made for my kitchen and did not know how to paint them since my paint sprayer did not do a good job on my sample piece. Gonna try this tomorrow.

[@michaelfarnes8403]

Well done! Very thorough and helpful. Please send the link for your tool guide.

[@everU-ix5tl]

I’m first time to start DIY. My circumstances changed and now have to do my own repairs. I’m going to do this for the first time and have other projects to tackle, I really enjoyed how you clearly give us exactly what items to use and explain process instead of just saying your leaving them in the description. Thank you Tool Guide.

[@JustMe-jc2ft]

Word to the wise...the guy doesnt use gloves with TSP, so he may or may not know wtf he's talking about. For instance, i bet if you watch other how-to instructables, they'll recommend a paint that does require a primer for surfaces that will endure as much cleaning as kitchen cupboards will need.

@@JustMe-jc2ft gloves would probably be best but TSP substitute isn't nearly as harsh as TSP.

[@terrificscentsboutique5489]

Yes I really loved that about this video

Quick tip, if you put Vaseline on all your painting tools the paint won't stick as much and it's easier to clean

[@becomejvg]

Nicely done, sir! Thanks for the little tutorial!

[@kekayowrites]

Hello! How did you go about the frame? Did you put any plastic to make sure the paint didn’t going anywhere else? Was the frame done first?

[@rlatimer1962]

Thank you so much for the video. It gives me the confidence to give my cabinets a shot. My cabinets are oak and are over 30 years old. My latest quote for cabinet replacement is $35,000 and is probably the best quote I have gotten yet. My question to you my friend is do you really think I have a shot at making this happen? I have by the way used the all in one paint on other projects and love the brand. I'm also looking for the grain not to show through. Any ideas? Just more coats? Thank you.

[@RS4LLLMM]

I’m following this question because my cabinets I’m doing sound like what ur describing

[@omarbryant7930]

Following as well because the grain show's through on my cabinets and I want to repaint them and not have the grain showing through.

[@Grace-j3y5e]

So beautiful. I love the color too

[@DavidMcgeen]

Lovely job , I’m a plasterer, not sure about paint, just needed some help about painting kitchen doors , excelle

[@susang.5499]

Love the color! Do you have any problems with the painted cabinet doors sticking to the cabinet frames?

[@CasualBuilds]

Yes, they did for a bit. But to fix that, I kept all the doors open for the night and then added those little rubber stoppers. Just needs a little time to fully dry/cure.

[@Charlie-kw9jk]

Good stuff! Thanks! We were considering replacing some kitchen cabinets but might just refinish and paint to save on $$$! Thanks SUBBED and LIKED!

[@that_guy89x89]

How did you get a perfectly smooth finish with a sponge roller brush!? I'm getting bloches semi-smooth finish when dried?!

Did I miss the before and after pics? Love the video

[@waxy1962]

I just did this on my bar cabinets. Used Sherwin Williams enamel for trim. High end stuff. 2 coats each side. Took a full week to finish. Very good coverage. You can barely see the grain. It gives it a bit of texture but looks great. I'm far from a pro but it wasn't bad. You may want to use paint tripods.

[@geoffbucks5803]

Hi love the finish on the doors - would you recommend using a paint sprayer to cover the cabinets and doors ?

[@assiadoe9080]

Thank u for detailed explanation

[@brae-ov5ny]

I have laminate fake wood cabinets. I would like to sand them to avoid chipping, what sand paper grade is best?

[@rosabal56]

I am doing this project in the next few months! So exited! 😊

[@KaquolMeliReno]

[@RS4LLLMM]

I just moved, not a fan of the cabinets , owners said I can do whatever I would like so cabinets in kitchen and the one in bathroom will be getting this treatment for sure !! Thanks

[@Thickdoublewide]

​@JustMe-jc2ft Stop being a hater it's overrated. He did a great job and he is still alive. Do you think mechanics all wear gloves when touching cancer causing oil and chemicals? Let the man be, what do you care about his skin?

[@colleenhaines3835]

​@@JustMe-jc2ftIf you rewind the video you will see he used "TSP Substitute". It's probably milder than TSP. Already saw that you had posted this same comment earlier and got a common sense reply. Given all the instructions he gave so explicitly, I would say he knows what he's doing...not his first rodeo! If you look at the "TSP Substitute" container you can see 2/3 of it has already been used. If he had received a burn/inflammation from it he'd definitely be telling viewers "wear gloves".

[@JustMe-jc2ft]

@colleenhaines3835 hey you all can all get cancer if you want, but make no mistake about it, degreasers move right across the skin barrier. Once thru they're going to be filtered out by the liver and kidneys. Im just thinking gloves are much cheaper than livers and kidneys. But you make your own choices

[@montsergirl]

The colour is beautiful! Love this. I wish I could paint mine, I don’t know if you need to sand it if it’s a dark colour to repaint it lighter? But wow this turned out so nice!

[@JustGrowUpAlready]

Hey! Great video! Planning to do this in my kitchen for the wifey. Our cabinets are already painted. So would we do anything different to remove the existing paint or just paint over?

[@sherryanncharter124]

Thank you for this video you are an excellent teacher. I would like to have your List of tools for beginner woodworkers

[@jimmyredtanner]

Thanks this was very helpful!

[@MidwestMotor]

This might seem trivial to some but I would recommend painting the inside part of the door / panel / drawer, etc first then paint the outside part - why?... because if you paint the outside part first then you have to flip it over and do the outside - well, the outside part can get scratched or pick up some debris or secondary paint, etc. and the outside of the door is obviously the part of the door you see. Great video!

[@678tucker]

Thx - So much. Getting ready to do a large kitchen. Very informative..

[@johnbritt3738]

Good day ! Great video ! Will that process work with laminated cabinets mine look so 1977 ish ! Thankyou in advance for your time !!

[@CasualBuilds]

I checked the FAQ section of the paint type I used and it said, "With ALL-IN-ONE Paint you can paint almost every surface inside and outside of your home.That includes wood, laminate, thermofoil, countertops, leather/vinyl, smooth fabrics, plastic, masonry, ceramic/tile, outdoor furniture, leather/vinyl auto seats, convertible tops, boat seats, shutters, front door and more!"

[@theresa2386]

Thank you for sharing your tips! For kitchen cabinets wouldn't I need to add a special coating so I can easily clean them or is the paint that was used not going to wear off from constant cleaning. Thank you.

[@danielles-cakes-pershore]

How has it held up to cleaning etc

[@Storm-paws]

So when you went back over with the roller to smooth it out did you dip it in paint first or just did it with a dry roller?

[@illuminenyc]

Does anyone know if I should first sand down builder-quality oak cabinets? Mine seem to have a poly coating on them. I've been told to at least sand down enough to create "teeth" for the new primer and paint to grab onto. Any tips appreciated. I am about to redo my cabinets as well. They look like the ones in this video.

[@raquelfigueroa]

SOOOOO GOOD 🎉🎉🎉 THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH

[@shure46]

paint the backside first , you always want to do all you can to protect the face side from marring ..... and if you're going to use a mini roller . might as well just use a mini roller , no need to apply with a brush then go over it with a mini roller

[@rollerball1972]

Did you paint the interiors as well? My cabinets are ebony colored and I want a creamy white.

[@arleneboesler9548]

[@stromboli1356]

[@MsRshinn]

Great job, any recommendations on painting over gray cabinets, builder grade cabinets didn’t turn out well, lots of chipping on the edges.

[@sandybuchanan3479]

Great video!

[@Ash_NuggTato]

I don't know what to do, i read that you need to sand first to repaint stuff and that you need to prime stuff but what if the paint already has primer? And is spray paint better or using a brush?

[@HollyHyland-lt4nq]

So I’m thinking you would generally want to paint the back side first to avoid any possibility of marks on the front facing side.

[@CasualBuilds]

Good call out. That’s what I did.

[@JulieErtmann]

Hi, thanks for this! I was wondering if I could do this without sanding. I didn't notice you fill the holes from the hardware, but you drilled new holes. How did you deal with this?

[@CaptainDickGs]

That’s what the tsp substitute was for basically if I’m not wrong. You could also use what they call liquid sandpaper. It’s basically paint stripper but it’s diluted so it just basically roughens the surface for the paint to adhere well.

[@michaelmccormack1732]

Would you recommend a couple of coats of clear varnish to stop nail scratches or chipping?

[@wendysilvernell3147]

I may have missed this, but did you paint the inside of the cabinets?
