Repainting cabinets?

sand them first get all the paint off and restain or repaint use a good primer first like killz

Depends on what look you want....

You will have to lightly sand them. If you are looking for a smooth finish, then prime with a good primer like Killz. If you are looking for a country, distressed finish - do you want the white to show through a little? Paint the color of your choice over the white with a glaze, then lightly sand the stress points to let the undercoat through ( corners, edges, etc.) When you get the look you want, finish with a clear top coat. You can even distress the cabinets more by lightly gouging them, even hitting with a chain. I know this sounds weird, but it does work well.

Use a product called wil-bond and wipe your cabinet door, if your old paint feels like its dragging on the rag it's water-based paint and you can keep using the water-based paint to re-coat, use a 100% acrylic and wipe every service just before painting with wil-bond. If it doesn't get tacky feeling when the wil-bond is applied its oil based paint and should be scuffed up with 150 gritt sand paper. Please remember you can put water-based paint on oil BUT NOT oil on water-based without using a primer in which case I'd recommend a Zinseer product called 123, it's a water-based primer sealer which can be top coated with oil or water-based. Anyone can paint but just read the label, all products aren't created equal. Good Luck.

clean them with TSP to get all of the kitchen grease off of them so the new paint will bond well. use a scotch brite pad, and sponge. when done with a section, rinse well with hot water. change the rinse water often so you don't just spread the tsp around. and wear rubber gloves since tsp is a very harsh cleaner and will wreak your hands. good luck, hope this helps

We recently painted ours. Its a 35 year old Quaker maid kitchen with a baked lacquer finish. We cleaned them completely, sanded them, coated them with BIN primer sealer (ammonia based). We then painted them with a premium semi gloss oil based paint.

Either call FaceLifters and replace them with new doors or pull them off and strip them with paint remover.
