The laminate on our old white kitchen cabinets had been peeling off for a while. So I took the affected kitchen doors and drawers off and peeled them all down to the bare MDF surface.

Materials and Tools needed:

– Wonderful wood filler – Kilz Primer – Cabinet Coat – sandpaper block, – spackling knife – paintbrush and roller Learn more

I patched some of the uneven surfaces with my favorite filler Wunderfil.

After sanding and wiping everything with a tack cloth, I spray primed the cabinet parts with my favorite Kilz Primer.

When the primer is done, I sanded everything with very fine sandpaper to smooth out the grainy texture. And then I wiped again with a tack cloth.

After that step, it was time to paint.

I used a roller and brush to apply the paint. I would have loved to try my new sprayer for this one but it was too cold outside in the garage.
