See how we chose this paint color for cabinets using Samplize. We knew we wanted a rich green color, but have large peel and stick paint samples really helped us narrow down our choice.

Printable instructions are at the bottom of this post.
Set up a painting station where your doors will have time to dry. You can prop the doors on 2 x 4s on sawhorses in a separate location from your cabinets.
Take off all old hardware. Don’t be lazy and try to paint around. Trust us it rarely ever works. Create baggies and a labeling system for the doors and hardware.
On the old oak Merillat cabinets, we have the hinges are large. Write a number on the door with a sharpie where the hinge would be since it will get covered up anyway. Make sure doors are smooth and clean.
Lightly sand or scuff up doors with 220 sandpaper.
Use a deglosser to wipe down doors. You want your cabinet doors to be as clean and dust-free as possible.

With primer or paint use the brush first to go in the ridges where a roller won’t go on the back of the door.
Here is an example of the bathroom vanity cabinet door and where the paintbrush was used before the foam roller.
Then use the small foam roller to go along the edges and the back. You can check out all of our favorite rollers to paint cabinets here.
In the image below, we are painting over painted kitchen cabinets using Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim. We honestly couldn’t believe the results we were able to get with a simple gallon of paint in a fun color.
Lay flat to dry. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to get 2-3 coats of paint.
Once the paint is not tacky, you can flip over the doors and begin painting those.
Use the brush in the creases and ridges. Make sure you don’t have drips.
Use a small roller in all places you are trying to apply a smooth and even layer.

Repeat the process until you do not see any white or uneven spots coming through. Even with white paint, you will want to paint 2-3 coats of paint as we did for our upper cabinet doors.
Attach doors back on your already painted wood cabinet boxes. Allow as much time for the paint to cure as possible.
Your paint should not feel tacky. I will warn you that our favorite paint (SW Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel) does seem to take a while to cure. It is the biggest con to using this paint that we have found, but it is totally worth it for the finish.
Add plastic bumpers on drawers and doors to stop the cabinet doors from banging against each other.
You can always spray paint old hardware or buy new ones! If you need to spray the screws, stick them in old cardboard to help them stay up.
