The process involved in painting cabinets depends on if the cabinets have previously been painted or not. If the cabinets have not previously been painted then you are going to want to lightly sand and scuff the cabinets, giving the primer and paint something to grip to. Then you will want to wipe them clean, prep your area by masking off and taping anything you do not want paint on, and apply one coat of primer. After your primer has been applied and has fully cured, you are going to want to go back with a fine sand paper and lightly sand them taking out any imperfections the and two coats of an interior enamel. If your cabinets have been painted before and you’re going to repaint them. You can skip the step involving the primer.
