My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How can I repaint metal kitchen Cabinets?

10 years ago
My kitchen cabinets are mostly metal with the exception of the doors on the upper cabinets, which are wood. What would be the best way to have these cabinets repainted? They are currently lemonade yellow which really isn't me.

    You can paint your metal
    cabinets, but you would first want to clean them with an industrial cleaner to
    remove any kitchen grease and particulates. Then sand with 220- or 400-grit
    sandpaper followed by the application of a metal primer. Then you can finish
    coat with an acrylic latex paint. The key is in the prep work.
