We did the deglossing after sanding because it allows you to wipe all the sanding dust off and make sure after that step it’s all clean and ready for primer/paint. As for brushing putty we have never tried that so I’m not sure if it works or how hard it would be. Sounds intriguing though! Good luck!

I’m wondering about the prep order. Some tutorials I read recommended deglossing before sanding but I noticed that you sanded before deglossing. Which is better?
Also have you heard of brushing putty to eliminate wood grain? It is said to give the painted cabinets an almost glass-like finish. Do you think it is necessary?

Yes, I would give them even more time. Maybe touch them after 4 days and if there’s any tackiness it’s better to hold out than smear/dent them! As for the time between primer and paint I think you should still be fine. Good luck!

I just hauled all the supplies home to start on my cabinets TOMORROW. I’ve been looking at your time/day by day breakdown, and mine will be roughly the same, give or take a few things. (I don’t need to patch any old hardware holes! Hooray!!)

I did have a question on curing. I don’t have a nice sunroom to work in like you guys did in your last house, so I’ll be painting all the doors and drawer fronts in the garage. While it is an insulated garage, I’ll definitely need the door open for some light & ventilation, and it’s turning into a typical July here in North Carolina, so you know where I’m going with this. Should I allow more than the 3 days of cure time to fight the heat & humidity in my garage, or should I forget that entirely and bring them inside to cure after they’re dry to the touch? And do you think I should wait longer than a day between coats of primer and paint? It’s the one thing I’m stressing over.

The kitchen looks so much bigger! You guys have inspired me to repaint my kitchen as well :) I don’t think I’ll be ripping out any cabinets though!

Man, I love before and after pictures.

So sorry I couldn’t find them! It’s been a while so maybe they’re not there or are only in stores?

I NEED to find the cabinet hinges you used in this post. Is there ANYWAY you can send me a link to the exact ones you bought? I attached the hardware’s website below. Please help, finding ones that work (we have the same cabinet frames you did) is driving me crazy!!

In reply to Kelly.

They did great! Still looked mint when we sold! Most cabinet painting pros actually don’t use or recommend poly (it can peel or yellow over time) so any good paint that’s not a flat finish (ex: good satin or semi-gloss paint) should do the trick without any topcoat. The Advance stuff is made for furniture and cabinets without sealer :)
