am in the process of stripping back layers and layers of old, oil based paint from my kitchen cabinets. what type of paint would people recommend that i use? btw, in the process of removing the paint, the heat gun 'branded' my wrist, painful
thanksHello Brooklea,
I am painting my kitchen in an IP today too. Happy Easter.
Be careful with that old paint more than likely lead based if layers and layers one of them will be.Mask up!
You would be best to talk to your local paint shop like bristol or a similar trade supplier. They will be happy to help and not all treat novices like an annoyance. There are many new paints on the market but for cabinets you will need something hard wearing and probably full gloss. You might be best to see if a cabinetmaker in your area can recommend someone to spray in two pack. If you do the prep it will not cost too much. Otherwise you will probably be best to use an enamel if brushing, it takes a bit of practice to get a good finish though and might be worth paying someone if you are not confident. hope this helps.
and get some aloe vera on your burn, blood sweat and tears is not meant to be taken literally!
have funthanks for that jeff!! hopefully my "beef branding" will only last for a few weeks.. thanks for the tip on the aloe too
hi guys,
I was recently recommended a product lately which ive since used.
Its called Zinzer and theres 3 different types but basically what it does is cover anything and can be painted strajght over(including missed grease spots,stains etc)
.it then gives an awesome glossy finish on the top coat and you dont need to remove all the old paints.anyway worth a thought anyway
Kind regards
