Easy Steps to Refresh Your Kitchen Cabinets 

Step 1: Clean Your Cabinets Thoroughly

Before you begin painting, it’s essential to start with a clean surface. Over time, kitchen cabinets can accumulate grease, dust, and grime, which can prevent the paint from adhering properly. Use a cleaner specifically designed to remove tough buildup, such as Dixie Belle’s Pristine Clean. Simply mix it with water, following the instructions on the container, and wipe down your cabinets.  Then rinse the cabinets with clean water to ensure they are free of any residue. This will give you a smooth foundation for your paint and ensure a flawless finish.

Step 2: Prep with Bonding BOSS for Shiny Surfaces

If your cabinets are made of laminate, glass, or have a glossy finish, you’ll want to prep them with Bonding BOSS. This product is designed to adhere to slick surfaces, giving you a strong base for painting. Apply Bonding BOSS in even, thin layers using a high-quality synthetic brush or roller. Let it dry completely before moving on to the next step. This extra step ensures that your paint will stick and last, even on hard-to-paint surfaces.

Step 3: Apply Silk All-In-One Mineral Paint

Now it’s time for the fun part—painting! Silk All-In-One Mineral Paint is a fantastic choice for cabinets because it has a built-in primer, stain blocker, and top coat, making the process simple and efficient. Use a synthetic brush or roller to apply the paint in smooth, even strokes. Start by painting the edges and details, then fill in the larger, flat areas. Depending on the look you’re going for, you may need two coats for full coverage. Be sure to allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.

Step 4: Add an Extra Coat of Protection

For added durability, especially in kitchens with a lot of traffic, consider applying one of Dixie Belle’s top coats. While Silk Paint already includes a built-in top coat, applying an extra layer like Extra Coat will provide even more protection against wear, moisture, and stains. Apply these top coats in thin, even layers for the best results.
