Newly painted kitchen cabinets look great. And you need to coat it time-to-time if you love to maintain its good appearance. When it comes to kitchen cabinet painting, some of you make mistakes that create a mess and make your remodelling or renovation work worthless for you and others who come to see you at your home. Typically, these mistakes are the one you can easily avoid while coating the cabinets of your home pantry. Here are some of those errors:


1. Unrealistic expectations

You expect that your house pantry would have an amazing look after coating it with a new paint. Your expectations are unfulfilled due to the visible grain and grooves left after painting. And you haven’t the smooth in your coating you dreamt of.


For better smooth, you need to use putty coating in order to get rid of grains and stains that come out as your paint dries.


2. No cleaning

Most people avoid cleaning their kitchens as they think their home pantries have no dirt and dust. The presence of any invisible dust or dirt can stop your paint to stick to the surface. So, no cleaning before coating home pantry cabinets is a blunder, and you should avoid making it. Use a brush or something like that to dust every corner of your kitchen. Further, utilize a clean cloth piece to wipe those places again.


3. No allotment of enough time

Most of you think coating kitchen drawers and allied furniture items is a lazy weekend job while opting for a DIY. Here, you are wrong, as you are in hurry to execute this task by the weekend. And in this, you do everything fast.


4. No removal of drawers and doors

Many people coating their kitchen cabinets themselves start painting work soon and don’t remove the doors or drawers. After some time, your coating can break and the hidden part will have no coating of paints. The best way to make your remodelling last longer is to pull out doors, hinges, drawers, knobs, and allied hardware before you start painting your cabinets. The removal helps you to have maximum reach to your home pantry furniture and cabinets.


5. No use of primer

Escaping the use of primer can be tempting for you, but it can make your paint bleed after two-three weeks/months. And you can’t have the value for your money, time, and effort you will invest. To make your cabinet coating look impressive, you must have a layer of primer before you start coating your home pantry wardrobe.


Apart from the above, you make mistakes like wrong paint/colour selection, no use of the appropriate tools, avoidance of the right way to coat, and no sanding. These mistakes are bad and can break your kitchen renovation work. Get in touch with a professional painter to hand over painting project if you haven’t done painting before or you are unable to invest sufficient time to your cabinet painting.
