Painting cabinets can change the look of a kitchen for a fraction of the cost of new ones.
When paint works
Solid wood or well-built boxes in good shape are great candidates for a painted finish.
The process
Doors come off, surfaces are degreased, sanded and primed, then sprayed for a smooth finish.
Painted cabinets need a careful cure time, so plan a few days of light use.
How long it takes
Most kitchens take four to six days, including time for the finish to cure.
