Kitchen cabinet painting

4 years ago

I just had off white, maple kitchen cabinets painted white . Like all of the moulding in the house, the finish was very smooth. I chose a satin finish for the cabinets which were sprayed but the finish feels very rough . The painter said the satin finish is a rougher feeling than semigloss. He did very little sanding and used WilBond and BM Advance.

is this a common problem? i miss the smooth and professional feel of my cabinets before i had them painted😩

Sounds like a lot of crap. If he did not sand properly, then the paint job will not be be smooth. Both satin and semigloss paints will look smooth as long as appropriate prep work is done first. A good paint job is always dependent of the prep work.

Yes, its a common issue. The sheens are off a level in that trim paint product. It is not a professional finisher’s choice for a cabinet coating. It’s a paint guy choice. https://www.facebook.com/groups/PaintingKitchenCabinetsforProfit/

Thank you. What is the best type of paint for kitchen cabinets? Is semi gloss too shiny?
