Extreme How To - Painting Kitchen Cabinets

In other words- don't paint them if they are nice wood cabinets. Wood looks better than any paint you can buy.

If you currently have cabinets that had a wood look to them, and are finished in stain and/or laquer, and you decide to paint them, think twice! The moment you touch the paint brush to them, you just commited yourself to maintaining that paint forever. At least with natural wood cabinets that have a stain and/or laquer, they really don't need much maintenance. They will look great for decades. With paint, you will always have to keep them extremely clean, and repainte every 3 to 5 years.

Looks like a lot of work sometimes it's easier to get new cabinets.
