Cabinet Refinishing Phoenix
Before I begin with this super duper guide, I must say painting your kitchen cabinets isn’t the easiest DIY project BUT the results are SO worth it. I started back in Jan. and it’s still lingering. So it takes some time. But remember I have 3 small kids that need me 24/7 plus the rest of my life. But for a normal human like yourself who has their act together,should be prepared to set at least 2 weeks aside to tackle this project.
First, a note about paint. There is always debate about using latex paint versus oil-based/alkyd paint. Alkyd is a synthetic oil additive to paint. Latex paint on wood cabinets is more easily dented than oil/alkyd paints, particularly if you have small children on tricycles. The oil/alkyd paint tends to be harder and stands up to wear and tear better, so it has always been the choice when painting wood cabinets. Latex also has natural mildew resistance to it, which is preferable when painting walls, particularly in the bathroom.

You can use Annie Sloan's unique decorative paint, Chalk Paint®, on kitchen cabinets using at least 2 coats of paint and then give it two or three coats of Annie Sloan Soft Wax to seal it. Soft Wax is water repellent and strong and makes a good connection to the paint. Chalk Paint® is meant to give character and interest rather than a perfectly smooth 'plastic' finish of some paints. Refresh every now and again with some more Soft Wax when its needed. Wipe over with a damp cloth to clean. Using a strong cleaner like Mr Muscle may be necessary for stuborn marks but it will remove some wax and the area will need rewaxing.
