Repainting kitchen cabinets

[anonymous-user]

Has anyone ever gone about repainting kitchen cabinets?

We moved to a house with a great Mark Wilkinson kitchen but our young kids and a few years of hard wear has taken its toll.
The paint is chipped/cracked at the edges and looking tired.

I'm not sure how these kitchens are painted (presumably spray painted rather than with a brush?).
Has anyone refurbished their own kitchen cabinets or had a company come in and do the work?
Any advice or recommendations for companies in the South West?

Did one (lurid 90's yellow)

Clean well (Jif)

Use a good paint IIRC we used Little Green Oil Eggshell

and use a small microfibre roller

Thanks - Looks a great finish.

Thanks all - good advice here.

Just need to figure out whether or not to try and tackle this myself or not.

Here's the before shots (before my kids ruined it )





Will post some after shots when done.

I did mine a couple of years back.

I didn't want to do ANY prep work, so used Zinsser B.I.N, tinted the same colour as the Little Greene intelligent eggshell we chose.

Was really easy and done in a day.

Before...


After...





£150 all in and a days painting. The quote I had for doing it was £3500.

Looks great. I need this sort of inspiration to get me started!
