Repainting Kitchen Units

EyeBlinks · 2011-08-08 16:56:17

Looking to repaint kitchen units. They are MDF. Should I be looking at buying a spray painter? If so, any advice? Thanks.

I was down in Woodies yesterday. There are paints out there specifically for kitchen cabinets. (Ivory, Magnlia, and some other light colour).

You can get any other colour made up, but you will need a lacquer undercoat. This will help avoid sanding. Plus, if you paint instead of spray, you can leave the doors ON. From what I heard anyway.
