HOW TO PAINT KITCHEN CABINETS / CUPBOARDS UK makeover on a budget

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

How to paint kitchen cabinets yourself for under £50! I painted my kitchen cupboards without removing the doors & without much sanding and priming. If you want a kitchen makeover on a budget by painting the units this is the video for you. I'm really pleased with the results so I would encourage anyone to consider doing this before ripping out their entire kitchen!

Further information:
I used kitchen cupboard paint, as an alternative to chalk paint / Annie Sloan. It's great to paint Laminate Cupboard doors, MDF doors, or Wooden cupboard doors. I used the colour 'Mineral stone' (grey / gray paint), I think white, antique white, dark brown or duck egg blue are all great kitchen door paint colours too.
I used half a tin of the primer & 1 and a half tins of the cupboard paint to do my kitchen which is made up of 11 units.
If you have any questions please post them below, and if you do a similar project, good luck and please let me know how you get on! Here are links to all of the products I used:

    If you have no foil try cling film ( cheaper and more of ) but in case you will not use it for awhile keep plenty of paint on it , ie leave it wet

    @chriscaine76894 жыл бұрын

    Thanks for recommending this paint. I bought the same colour too. I wanted to paint the cupboard framework but not the door fronts. It is very thick paint and went on brilliantly with a small sponge roller, I didn't need primer or a second coat as it was super coverage and glossy the next day so I have loads left. 🤔 I am leaving it to cure for a few days before putting doors back on too. I will say it is quite smelly as its oil based paint and needs very good ventilation. I did get a bit of a tight chest and a little short of breath, but maybe thats just me. Cleaning oilbased paint is not a thing I've done in years, so a bit tedious.... Great for anyone to revamp their kitchen on a budge Overall, excellent result for £20!!
