## Cabinet painting and refinishing A fraction of the cost of new cabinets, done in about a week. If your boxes are solid and the layout works, painting is the highest-return kitchen project there is. ### The process that makes it last 1. Remove doors, drawer fronts, and hardware; label everything 2. **Degrease** thoroughly — kitchen grease is why most DIY cabinet paint peels 3. Sand and de-gloss all surfaces 4. **Bonding primer**, especially over factory or oil finishes 5. **Sprayed** finish coats in a cabinet-grade enamel for a factory-smooth surface 6. Cure time before rehanging, new bumpers, hardware reinstalled or upgraded ### Typical cost | Kitchen size | Typical | |---|---| | Small (up to 15 doors) | $1,800 – $3,200 | | Medium (16 – 30 doors) | $3,000 – $5,500 | | Large or two-tone with island | $5,000 – $8,500 | | Add new hardware / soft-close | Quoted separately | Compare that to **$15,000 – $40,000** for new cabinets. ### When painting is not the answer Sagging boxes, water-swollen particleboard, delaminating thermofoil, or a layout you hate. Paint fixes color, not construction or a bad floor plan.
