Cabinet Painting

$200-500 vs. $15-30K for new. Skip bonding primer and it peels in months.

New kitchen cabinets cost $15,000-$30,000. Painting existing ones costs $200-$500 in materials and a weekend of work. The process: remove doors, clean with TSP, sand with 120-grit, prime with bonding primer (Zinsser BIN or STIX), and topcoat with cabinet-grade paint (Benjamin Moore Advance or Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane). Two coats each. The number-one mistake is skipping the bonding primer — latex paint on factory-finished cabinets peels within months. Do the prep right and the finish lasts 8-10 years.
