The sanding would be the killer for me
 
@Donnawisdom : It doesnt have to be vigourous, Just a light, quick rough up is all thats needed, literally 30 seconds to one minute per door with a sanding sponge is all it takes.
Yall keep saying "Doing it right", LOL Its literally putting paint on a flat clean surface not rocket science. Its almost impossible to do it wrong.

QueenB : Girl, yes i have! 3 years ago when we bought our house. Went from super dark brown to white. Yes. It was a *****. But, I refused to pay to 7 grand we were quoted. If you need any info/tips, let me know! I'll definitely say that you gotta use Kilz Primer. The rest are a waste of time. (Trust me) 🙄🤦‍♀️
 
@IzzysMommy : Thank you, I'll take you up on that offer!

@Labslady : has it held up the test of time I know that sometimes the paint even if you have it professionally done can start show me people are opening the cabinets. Did you do prep work prior to painting like cleaning the door and sanding it down and then paint?

Have you ever painted cabinets? I've never done much home improvement myself but I'm wondering….. would you prep and paint 34 kitchen cabinets, 20 drawers and an island, or would you pay a local company $9,000 to do it instead?
 
@QueenB : I would do it myself. When we moved in this house the previous owners painted the cabinets. They did a poor job. The paint peeled and looked bad very quickly. We removed all the doors and hubby sanded, primed, and pained them with his fancy spray paint machine. He also prepared all the other painted wood in the kitchen and painted that. It has been about 8 years or so and time to do it again cause I want a different color. Considering how long it has been they have held up really well. If you decide to paint them be sure you do all the extra work so the paint will not peel. I do not feel most companies will take the time needed to do it right.

@Sonbol : It's been 3 years and has held up better than I thought. Yes there have been a few chips- but very few. And the chips came from floor installation , but nothing from normal wear and tear. I have one coat of bond primer and 2 coats of semi gloss- so it's very durable- even in the sink area
Prep is crucial. The doors and drawers were new so came sanded and ready. I used Kilz Adhesion and the pamphlet said No or very little sanding. I didn't trust that so I did sand the outside, inside and trim and then applied the Kilz Adhesion. That stuff is THE best bonding primer I have ever used- it's pricey but worth it!!
 
On this new project I've done very little prep ( other than cleaning it) on the stained trim and true to its word- it has bonded like cement. I do have areas that weren't prepped properly( before we moved in and I painted the first time) that were chipping down to the paneling. I sanded those areas down - smoothed it out and applied the Kilz adhesion and it worked like a charm. That stuff is the best .

I did my own with foam rollers, good quaity Sherwin-Williams oil paint and most importantly Penetrol - it's like Floetrol but for oil paint. The oil paint is more durable than latex (I didn't want to have to do it again) and with the use of Penetrol it lays (in my opinion) flatter than latex using Floetrol. Mine looked sprayed. I had virtually no brush or roller marks. Using oil paint gets a bum rap, it's not nearly the pain in the neck it's made out to be. Most who tell you not t use oil paint, it's a hassle, it's too difficult, etc have never actually used it.
The brushes, after use, I would put into an old mayo jar with paint thinner to clean, that's really easy. The foam rollers are super cheap and I'd just toss them after using. Easy peasy. The cabinets looked sprayed, there was no spray prep or mess with tarps, etc, and the oil paint held up really, really well. Penetrol and putting on wet coats but not wet enough to drip are the keys.
