Kitchen cabinet painting: quick preparation and finish tips

Updated application note: This is our original short guide from 2016. For your project, follow the current product directions and the complete kitchen cabinet guide linked below. Armour used as a stain block requires three coats and a full 72-hour cure before painting.

Painting kitchen cabinets

1. Remove the cabinet doors, and give a good scrub-down with a solution of water, white vinegar and lemon
2. Apply 2 base-coats of Granny B's Armour - dry overnight 
3. Use a foam roller, don't over load it with paint, and lay down a thin base coat, followed by two more coats allowing a drying time of 1 hour between coats - allow the final coat to cure for 8 hours
4. Seal with our Classic Seal, or Armour (heavy-duty)  2 to 3 coats will give you a fantastic seal and professional finish!
