Laminate cabinets can become dull over the years from the accumulation of greases and oils. Using strong cleaners and normal wear and tear will also dull the finish. Laminate cabinets can be painted with proper preparation to make your kitchen bright and look like new. Painting the cabinets is much more cost effective than total replacement or re-facing.

Number each cabinet door and drawer for location. Place a corresponding label on the interior of the cabinet to insure doors and drawers are re-installed to the proper location.

Remove doors and drawers and place on a flat surface. Remove hinges and drawer pulls. Clean all surfaces of the cabinets, doors and drawers with a solution of TSP and warm water. Rinse the cleaning cloth often and clean until the cloth shows no dirt or grease. Change the cleaning solution and repeat if necessary. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Allow to dry.

Apply epoxy filler to any chips or dings in the laminate. Allow to dry. Sand all surfaces with 220-grit sandpaper. It is not necessary to sand aggressively, just roughen the surface. Clean with a tack rag until all sanding dust is removed.

Wipe each area again with the tack rag and apply primer with a high-density foam paint roller. Gently roll the roller into the primer to avoid creating bubbles. Use a light touch to avoid build up along the edges. Allow to dry.

Wipe all surfaces with the tack rag and apply paint using a fresh foam roller. Apply light coats of paint, allowing to dry between coats. Two or three light coats of paint is better than trying to apply too much paint at one time. Allow to dry 72 hours before re-installing the hinges and drawer pulls.
