    Great vid!!! I did mine by rolling the cabinets and spraying the doors and drawer fronts. Spraying is much faster if your doors have more shape and corners to cover, but rolling can work but you will also need a very fine soft NEW brush to get into the corners. In this case do your light sanding with a fine sanding sponge.

    excellent work and can't wait to do mine

    One more thing!!! If you have adjustable hinges, mark the location of all the doors inside the hinge holes and mark the hinge location so everything goes back where they came from. This will greatly shorten getting everything lined up during reinstall.

    Hi I live in the UK and watched your video. I wanted to paint my kitchen cupboard doors, I unable to purchase Fleetwood Bloxx-It as the company Woodies don't delivered to my part of the UK, I was wondering do happened to know which paint can do the same as the one in your video?

    • @Shabbyie
      @Shabbyie  2 роки тому +1

      ZINNSER BIN will do the same. It's shellac based.

    thank you SO much ma'am! Clear and concise instructions. Excellent.
    One caveat: and I don't want to be presumptuous, but ya sound a wee-bit Anglish love!
    Do you have recommendations of similar products sold here Norhtwest, Florida, USA?
    again, thank you so much for your time, ma'am ;-)

    Thank you for the tutorial. You did a fantastic job! In a mobile home, I have mdf cabinets covered in what I am pretty sure is a thin glue on glossy paper. It is starting to peel off in areas that have gotten wet over the years, but the mdf has not swelled in those areas, thankfully. Do you think this method would work for these cabinets as well?

    • @Shabbyie
      @Shabbyie  3 роки тому +2

      Remove the foil and paint the mdf. I have done that and it works great

    They look great! I just got a brand new kitchen and absolutely hate it. I want to paint the cabinets White from Grey. I'm so scared after spending so much money. Can you advise me please? What would you do?

  • @sashsash6679

    I get a lot of steam from cooking in my kitchen. Would the condensation cause the paint to peel or chip?

  • @darreneves4060
    @darreneves4060 4 роки тому +1

    If you do these regular I would think about buying a graco ultramax cordless sprayer. They are expensive but pay for themselves in no time at all.
    Even on normal 6 panel room doors , I gloss those in around 20 seconds

    Love it ! What grit sand papers do you use?

    • @Shabbyie
      @Shabbyie  3 роки тому

      Only a medium one like 180. Nothing too coarse. You want to create scratches not break the laminate.

    Such a great video, very informative! Considering doing this to my Mum's old kitchen. Can you replace the hardware easily enough? The brackets are a bit rusty at this stage.

      Yes of course. Replace no problem.

    Thanks for the info. Looks great. I have a couple of cabinets that have been damaged bc of water & now have places that have curled out-not just the fiber foil layer but the MDF. I’m guessing I’ll just have to replace those doors. Any advice?

    • @Shabbyie
      @Shabbyie  3 роки тому +3

      You can remove the laminate easily with a heat gun and paint the mdf

    I’m thinking of painting my melamine kitchen cabinets this Christmas and your tutorial is very helpful. If you don’t mind, what are your thoughts on how paint dries on melamine/laminate surfaces? Will it be as smooth as it was pre-painting or should I expect to have some texture? I’m really hoping for the former! Thanks from Canada!

    • @Shabbyie
      @Shabbyie  4 роки тому +3

      If you use a roller that gives a really smooth finish to soothing the primer and paint AND use a superfine sanding pad in between coats, you should get a sprayed like finish.

    • @manuelsalgado8510

      Is melamine the same as laminate cabinets?

    • @blaster-zy7xx
      @blaster-zy7xx Рік тому

      No, melamine is a bit harder, but you still do it the same way.

    • @Shabbyie

      My personal opinion is , I wouldn't paint anything you are cutting / preparing food on to be honest .

    • @Shabbyie
      @Shabbyie  4 роки тому

      But you can buy new stick on foil that works very well .
