Questions for cabinet painters

17 years ago

I want to have my kitchen cabinets painted white. What are the important questions to ask of cabinet painters. The cabinets are maple with a cherry stain. I want them to look like they came from the factory that way. Also, should they use latex or oil paint, roll or spray? Thanks Priscilla

If you are looking for a factory finish, then spraying is really the only option. High quality 100 percent acrylic paint would be my choice, two coats over a high quality primer like BIN.
