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
We often get asked this question, and our recommendation is always the same:- Remove the cabinet doors, and give a good scrub-down with a solution of water, white vinegar and lemon
- Apply 2 base-coats of Granny B's Armour - dry overnight
- 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
- Seal with our Classic Seal, or Armour (heavy-duty) 2 to 3 coats will give you a fantastic seal and professional finish!
For this project, browse Polka.Paint for cabinet projects and Armour protective sealer.
