Painting kitchen cabinets

Post by Nicole2933 »

I want to repaint my kitchen cabinets (both the fronts/backs as well as inside). I’ve attached pictures but wondering what paint will be best to use after cleaning/sanding. I was deciding between Benjamin Moore advance or johnstones revive cupboard paint but other suggestions are welcome. I will just be painting them white. I was also wondering I will need to prime prior to painting. Any help is welcome. Thank you.

You have to be careful as the doors look like they are an MDF core with a plastic outside skin. I think I would advise painting Zinsser BIN on as a primer and then the top coats. Clean down thoroughly with methylated spirits first. See my link below in blue which may well be useful as it applies as much to plastic as it does to varnish covering. keep sanding to very light and as needed.
