How to Paint Kitchen Cabinets the Right Way | withHEART

[@dnsmithnc]

The best video I have seen for painting cabinets with a brush and roller. A few things I would have done differently. First, thoroughly clean the cabinet doors first. Sanding first will force grease and dirt into the surface which hurts adhesion. After sanding, use a deglosser to get in the areas that sanding has missed. The last would be getting the corners first with a brush and then following quickly with the roller. I didn't understand why you didn't do that with everything else being so well done. Makes for a more consistent and smooth surface. Still a great job. Far better than I have seen on the vast majority of videos on this topic.

[@asadiq1900]

finally a video that is quick, informative and actually shows what product to use..

[@donatosoto6176]

Great video! I watched several other videos but yours was the most helpful! Thank you!

[@Sierrafairy]

Wow, beautiful job, thanks for the clear, concise video!

[@j.carrier1762]

i painted out kitchen cabinets white using this tutorial and i have to add: 1) wear a mask when painting with the primer, 2) PRIME the outside of the cabinet doors and drawers - already the paint is chipping away (i used Behr's version of satin instead of Benjamin Moore, but I'm pretty sure the same thing would happen 3) make sure you really clean your cabinets before starting and maybe use a de-greasing agent if there's grease 4) drill holes for knobs or handles before you paint

[@j.carrier1762]

+Heather Hatch i really wish i had taken the time to go and find that paint! They didn't have it at Home Depot and the lady in the paint department there told me the Behr I bought would be fine. Everyone - go get the Benjamin Moore paint! Our cabinets look fine, but there are places where the paint has chipped away when we pulled away painter's tape and dinged an area when putting up the doors. but it'll do for a few years until we re-do everything!

[@nidhidshah]

+Jenna Carrier regarding pulling away your painter's tape, I've noticed (well I wasn't painting the cabinets but this experience was rather with the iron railing on my porch) that if we pull of the painter's tape when the paint is still a bit wet, it doesn't chip off (not immediately but before it is completely dry)

[@JenniferStagg]

Hi Jenna, thanks for your thoughts! Yes, I agree that Benjamin Moore Advance would have given you a different result. Also, our cabinets already had holes drilled. Thank you for watching!

[@ilovepashto7172]

Jennifer Stagg how are you

[@seanhatch4425]

Heather Hatch Nice name lol

[@bullish7371]

You just have a new subscriber, i really like how you painted the cabinets. Good job

[@JanetJenkins]

I'm currently doing this in my master bath with the same paint. Will be doing all of my home's cabinets.

[@JenniferStagg]

Janet Jenkins way to go! Hope our video helps!

[@akapatience5571]

I like that you got to the point and didn't drag this out😉

[@peaceloveandunity9624]

You sound and present like a PROFESSIONAL newscaster 😊

[@RobertDovLevin]

Looks good. I've got a two year old home with coffee colored cabinets in the small kitchen. Think I'll paint them white since I'm adding three sets of white IKEA cabinets.

[@JenniferStagg]

Good luck with your project! It's amazing what a transformation it can make!

[@cahris]

good job on your cabinets!! i have chestnut colored cabinets and i want to paint my cabinets white as well. do i clean it then sand it? or can i just go ahead and paint on it? i noticed your cabinets were already unfinished when you started.. what do you recommend me doing? i would really appreciate your help!! thanks in advance!! :)

[@russellbarton7565]

i had originally painted my cabinets poler bear white and they looked a lot better than they were but then decided to put an antique white glaze on them to give them more depth which i am happier with but staying with white cabinets really depends on wht color the floor is and counter tops.

[@TamiShey]

thank you this helped me a lot and that kitchen looks beautiful :)

[@bettyc2434]

Good video. I have the same cabinets. My question is, not that it is a year later - how have the cabinets held up? Would you do it again? Do you have any additional suggestions.

[@trichards100]

Great job! Did you mix any kind of paint thinner or water into the paint before painting? Just curious if their were any visible brush strokes on the cabinets.

[@FearedLyosome]

They look like new! I can only hope mine turn out as nice. What brand/finish of paint did you use?

[@optimisticroque4316]

Love your cabinets. Are they veneer or laminate cabinets? How do you clean the cabinet once it is dirty? I know my veneer cabinets are a nightmare to clean.

[@Doodahdoodles]

What is shelf paper?? And are you finding it’s holding up ok? I’ve just painted the insides of all my cupboards 🙄 worried it’ll all chip now!

[@Mack1906Mack]

Looks great. These were unfinished cabinets to begin with?

[@bewoldt1]

So you used satin on the outside of the cabinets and semi-gloss on the side?

[@melaniesmith1928]

Just redid cabinets using Home Depot kit. Hubby and I are exhausted, but it looks great. We were too tired to paint inside drawers. Just gonna put contact paper down.

[@JenniferStagg]

It's such a long process, but so worth it! I'm so glad your project turned out well!

[@nanaannabelgn2771]

Just found this video, how is the paint holding up?

[@dinkinsMONROE]

Hi, what is the color of White & sheen used to paint the cabinets?

[@maninom]

Hi there, what color of Benjamin Moore did you use your cabinets? Thank you!

[@nixelyfigueroa9489]

Looks easy I got to try it on my kitchen I need a little makeover

[@Zolani12]

Do you only put primer on the inside of the cabinets??

[@DinakarJayarajan]

Is the wood Oak? Do you see the grain after after painting?

[@mikekremer2053]

You gotta wash the cabinets down with TSP solution, prior to sanding 👍

[@myebiz92]

TSP Solution?

[@Avasings]

Did you use a primer on the cabinet doors before you put the BM Advance satin paint on? Also, what color white did you use? Thanks!! Did you take your backsplash down yourself? I would love to take mine down before we painte cabinets but afraid it will be really hard?

[@JenniferStagg]

Hi there! No primer-- just the paint. The paint is so high quality, no primer is needed. Just a light sanding and a clean surface. The color is simply the paint without any color added-- easy! We did take the backsplash down ourselves. You can watch a tutorial here: How To Remove A Tile Backsplash | withHEART Thanks for watching!

[@は私です彼の名前]

***** You guys did SUCH a good job. They look like *totally* new cabinets.

[@JenniferStagg]

Thank you so much!

[@Avasings]

***** thank you so much for replying to my questions!! I didn't realize the BM Advance was just white already? I will go down to our local BM and talk with them! Great news about no Primer!!

[@teresahall4033]

OK maybe I missed it but did you prime the outside of the cabinets also? Great video!

[@aprilhallwood4704]

I haven't seen any recent comments, so will chime in. I'm a professional painter, yes, oil prime those babies first!

[@JenniferStagg]

Hello, no we didn't prime the outside! The paint is so high quality, we didn't need to.

[@wolf360090]

in oder for it to last and get good adhesion to the old varnish ,you have to put an oil primer on it, or it will chip easy and will start to flake off

[@1marktran]

could you use this paint to paint over laquor finish?

[@JodyBeth]

This is a weird question, but how long are your hardware pulls? Like in inches? I'm looking at some online exactly like that online but can't decide what length to get. Help!

[@JenniferStagg]

Hi there! I'm not sure how long they are-- they were existing in the house and we just kept them. I would estimate maybe 4 inches. I found a really similar one at Home Depot. Hope that is helpful!

[@justasiam777]

Hi! Please tell me where can I buy these rollers. Thanks!

[@JenniferStagg]

Home Depot

[@annnewell3129]

I washed my kitchen cabinets to paint them with a cream color paint over medium color oak. The paint had the primer in it. I sanded, used a tack cloth and cheese cloth to prepare them for the paint. But the paint has chipped off around the handles. Anything to prevent or live with it.

[@kzhang1235]

Hey how much galons of bm did you need to paint your cabinets? and how much does it cost? thanks :) ps: awesome tutorial keep up the good work 👍🏼.

[@alexchaidez941]

Do u put primer on the outside of the cabinets too or not?

[@JenniferStagg]

No primer, just the paint

[@jacksoxman9000]

I used a Deglosser" to remove the top service. Stinks but far easier and cleaner then sanding.

[@tiladios]

Can you specify what brush brand did you use?

[@JenniferStagg]

Hello! We like Wooster!

[@tiladios]

Jennifer Stagg Thanks. What kind of material are the bristles?

[@ilovepashto7172]

Jennifer Stagg hello

[@は私です彼の名前]

Beautiful job. I love white kitchen cabinets. Also, there is no waste. Why throw out perfectly good cabinets? It is affordable and easy. It just takes patience to do a professional job. Well done.

[@jaj1eta]

Did you use any clear coat or polyurethane to seal?

[@JenniferStagg]

Hi Juanita, thanks for watching! No, we didn't use anything other than the paint. It's high quality so it leaves a great finish. No need for anything else.

[@jaj1eta]

***** oh ok. wow! the finish looks amazing! thank you.

[@JenniferStagg]

Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@od2437]

2:27 did you just rest on the freshly painted door lol

[@HelgaHimerPhotograph]

What kind of hinges are you using?

[@JenniferStagg]

Hi there! They are the hinges that came with the cabinets, which were there before we moved in.

[@eagle18hls]

Brush marks and roller marks on kitchen cabinets will lower the value of a kitchen. They will be less smooth than the original finish and not clean as easy as the original smooth finish. A smooth finish is important for long term cleanability. Claiming that this is the right way in your title is hackydoo and misleading. They do not come from the factory that way. Why not spray them if your claiming to do it the right way. Sure your cabinets will look good at first but cleaning them will be a tedious task when it's time to do so.

[@lad4944]

Advance is great paint but has 16 hr. recoat and 30-45 day cure depending on color.

[@seanhatch4425]

The rite way would be to clean with tsp before sanding.... SMFH!

[@turbinepower77]

The RIGHT way is spray painting them!

[@eagle18hls]

2:10 "Using a roller ... smoothest finish" I would have to disagree. A sprayer would be used for the smoothest finish. I will retreat now and let the professional take over ;)

[@bailey2624]

nice info for the DYIer but if you hire a pro that uses normal acrylic paint or hybrid like advanced hes a hack. hire a real pro that uses KCMA approved finishes

[@sajidullah]

You are so beautiful

[@420bars]

she said "is a quick and easy job" and then "it takes patience and that's hard work" lol god damn women always contradict themselves

[@laidirlive]

+Martin Godinez lol

[@jessielu9734]

She said painting a kitchen is by no mean a quick and easy job

[@heroguides9705]

Martin Godinez "god damn women always contradict themselves" and just like that you gave the "men never listen" a +1 lol

[@BurtBowers]

Turned out great..I have to paint my cabinets also replace out all hinges & replacing long handles to just knobs so have to fill in holes with wood putty etc which all this will be bit time consuming but all will look amazing when completed..

[@sheiladoerr1985]

Martin has selective hearing ,he only heard what he wanted to hear.

[@PimpernellP]

Why not use a brush for the whole door? Rollers are for lazy people.

[@JenniferStagg]

Hi there! A roller avoids brush strokes and it's faster. Call me lazy, but there were a lot of doors to paint and anything I could do to speed up the process was a great idea!

[@PimpernellP]

***** With the appropriate skills you wont see brush strokes. Less cleaning up and more efficient. I guess its all about the easy fix.

[@JenniferStagg]

***** Well, for me it was about cutting out some time as it was a huge project. I guess it all comes down to personal preferences! Thanks for watching.

[@josephfoster30]

Poor video, horrible primer used and doors should always be sprayed. That's gonna chip.

[@muzic4lyfe2005]

The diy way, not the right way

[@jacklucas7265]

There is no "right way" to paint kitchen cabinets that enhances the appearance of the cabinets in the long run, paint is an inappropriate finish for cabinets.
