What type of paint should I use to paint wooden cabinets and desks? How do I paint over dark furniture? ?

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

I don’t want to use the spray paints I see at the stores for wooden furniture.

Also one of the desks is dark mahogany and I would like to paint it to a light color. Do I have to use a lot of layers of paint? Is a glossing coat needed for the cabinets and desks?

Best paint for metal cabinets?

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

I’m renting a house and the landlord is allowing me to paint. There are some ancient metal cabinets in the kitchen that are straight out of the 60’s. I’d like to paint them, but not sure what kind of paint I need to buy. Obviously I’d like it to be as cheap as possible, considering I’m renting the place. I don’t know what type of metal they are, but they are painted already and appear to have some sort of enamel finish. Do I need to sand them before painting?

what is the correct way to paint bathroom cabinets?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

we are remodeling our bathroom. The countertop is shot but our cabinets are still in great shape. They are not solid wood…they are wood faced. They have been painted once already but I don’t like the color. I am concerned about painting it as I don’t want the paint to scratch or chip off. Any suggestions as to how to assure this will not happen.
