There are so many things you hear from this blog post and that blog post, but we are here to tell you the myths and the facts on kitchen cabinet painting.
Myth #1
It’s too expensive
Yes, there are a lot of people who spend a ton of money to get their kitchen cabinets painted, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only way.
Fact #1
There are ways to save money
There are plenty of ways to save money on your kitchen cabinet painting, such as doing it yourself. If you’re not confident enough to DIY, don’t have enough time, or want a professional look, consider DIT. DIT means Do-It-Together. Sound Finish has come up with a system to get you professionally painted kitchen cabinets for half the price. Check it out here!
Myth #2
It isn’t worth it
Will painting your kitchen cabinets really pay off in the end? Many people think that’s it’s a waste of money to update their kitchen cabinets.
Fact #2
Adds value to your home
On average, a kitchen renovation should earn a 70 percent return on investment when you sell your home, given that you chose neutral things that will appeal to buyers. Not only that, but a kitchen cabinet remodel will make being in your kitchen more enjoyable, making you cook more and save even more money.
Myth #3
You can paint around the hardware
Sounds like a great idea, right? Paint around the hardware and you can save tons of time! – Wrong.
Fact #3
You need to take the hardware off
Painting around the hardware may save you time at first, but not when you have to repaint all of the cabinets. If you don’t take the hardware off, you will start to see where the hardware is rubbing off the paint.
Myth#4
Sanding isn’t necessary
There are so many blog posts out there that say you can paint your kitchen cabinets without sanding. But don’t be fooled and take the easy way out.
Fact #4
You need to sand
Not only do you need to sand to get a smooth finish on your cabinets, but you need to do it multiple times. Sand at first, sand between coats, lightly sand afterward. Sanding ensures that the paint will stick and not come off with cleaning or through wear and tear. If the paint doesn’t stick, you will be disappointed in all the work you put into painting your kitchen cabinets.
Myth #5
Priming is a waste of time
We’ll admit that paint companies have stepped up their game so priming is no longer necessary. But as for your kitchen cabinets, the primer is very important.
Fact #5
You need to prime
Why do you need to prime? Well, because you’re likely painting over your wooden kitchen cabinets, and wood tends to bleed through. If you don’t prime, the wood can add a yellowish tint to your paint. This would make your cabinets look old and grimy very quickly. Priming may take some time, but it’s better than having to redo the entire project later.
So there you have it. Follow these guidelines when painting your cabinets yourself, or choose DIT with Sound Finish for more detailed tutorials on how to do everything.

Kitchen cabinet painting can be expensive, so every little bit you can save is money you can use somewhere else. DIY is an option, but it can take a long time to get everything done. Hiring a professional would be ideal but can difficult when you’re on a tight budget. But what if you could hire a professional to do most of the work and only pay half price? This middle ground option is offered by Sound Finish. It’s called Do-It-Together or DIT. People who chose the DIT option saved an average of $2,000 on their kitchen cabinet painting. Here’s how DIT works:
How It Works:
Choose Your Paint
You choose your own paint color for your cabinets. However, Sound Finish will recommend the correct brand of paint and where to purchase it. By doing this, we can offer a discount so you will be getting premium quality paint at a lower price.
We Remove Your Cabinet Doors and Drawer Fronts
Schedule a time for Sound Finish to come remove your doors and drawer fronts. Sound Finish will give you an hour training and access to tutorial videos on how to clean and paint your cabinet boxes.
We Take Your Cabinet Doors and Drawer Fronts With Us
Sound Finish will take your cabinet doors and drawer fronts at the scheduled time to our spray shop. We will also take with us one gallon of the paint that you have purchased. This is to ensure that we are using the exact same paint and color.
You Paint the Cabinet Boxes

Painting your kitchen cabinets is a big job and takes a lot of preparation. It’s important to take the necessary steps in order to get the painted cabinets you’re looking for. Here are the top 10 things you wish you knew when you started painting your cabinets.
It Takes a Long Time
Cabinet painting takes a long time. You shouldn’t expect to be able to get it done in a weekend. For most DIYers, it takes about a week from start to finish.
Labeling isn’t Just Convenient
Labeling is convenient but it’s also necessary. Over the years, cabinets and drawers move a certain way on their own hinges and roll-outs. So if you put a cabinet back using a different hinge, it may not be straight or move as smoothly as before. Labeling your cabinets, where they go, and the hinges used will save you a lot of trouble.
Clean Everything Thoroughly
Kitchen cabinets get really greasy over time and it won’t come off with just water. You’ll have to clean it with a degreaser like TSP to really get off the grime. A dust cloth won’t cut it. If you don’t clean your cabinets well, the paint won’t stick and you’ll have to start all over. Don’t miss this step!
Fix the Dents and Nicks
If you want a truly smooth finish, you’ll have to take the time to fill in any dents or nicks with spackling and a putty knife or wood filler. Leveling out these flaws will make a huge difference with the end product.
Get Used to Sanding
Once you’ve filled in all the imperfections, it’s time to sand everything down. Sanding will give everything a smooth finish allowing the paint to go on evenly and stick. It’s important to get all the nooks and crannies too, otherwise, you may have some spots on your cabinets that aren’t getting as much paint as others.
Remove the Doors & Drawers & Hardware
Don’t be lazy in this area. Removing the doors and drawers will allow you to lay them down flat to get an even coat. If you don’t remove the hardware, it will rub against the freshly painted cabinets and strip off the paint.
Dust One Last Time
Sanding creates a lot of dust so the dust needs to wiped off or vacuumed. A vacuum will help get everything out of the nooks and crannies and save you some time.
Don’t Forget to Prime
Priming may seem like a waste of time, but it’s not. Primer gives your cabinets a base coat so the color you choose shows up as it’s supposed to. It also doesn’t cost as much as the actual paint you’ll be using, saving you from having to do more coats and costing more money. Choose a high-quality primer and it will save you time as well.
Make Sure You Have the Right Color
Use a color swatch to determine your cabinet paint color. As a general rule, look at the darkest of the colors on the swatch. If the darkest one has blue undertones, then the others on the swatch will too, even if you can’t see it. A lot of time the color you like will look different once it’s on a large surface area. Test the paints on your wall or a poster board to see how they look in person and in the light of your kitchen. You don’t want to buy a whole bunch of paint only to realize you don’t actually like the color. The samples will give you peace of mind and save you money in the long run. Be sure to use a high-quality paint as well! Your cabinets will last longer with high-quality paint and look so much better.
Wait to Put Everything Back
You may be eager to put everything back in its place once you’ve finished painting, but don’t do it! Paint has to cure for a few days or else it will smudge.

Why shouldn’t I have the person who painted the interior of my house also paint my cabinets?
Have you ever wondered if your house painter can paint your kitchen cabinets? This is a common question for people who are looking into redoing their kitchen. Only sound finish has a system designed to give customers an awesome experience from start to finish. We’ve thought of everything and you simply cannot get it anywhere else. The cabinet painters at Sound Finish are highly specialized which allows them to produce the highest quality of work in the fastest time possible. House painters are great, but should they touch your kitchen? They can paint your walls, ceilings, and accents wall but kitchen cabinets should be left to the professional cabinet painters. Your painter doesn’t know all of the intricate, minute details that we’ve learned while transforming hundreds of kitchens, which, when you add them all up, make all the difference when it comes to speed, quality, and overall experience. Since we do perform faster, the process we’ve pioneered translates into more savings for you. Your painter will have to charge more because it will take them longer to complete the job. Please take a moment to learn about our system and we invite you to contact us today and schedule a free bid. If you book the job now, we will even hire a professional interior designer to consult on your paint color options, ensuring that the finished look of your kitchen ties in perfectly to the rest of your home. Here are the main reasons why you should hire a professional cabinet painter for your kitchen cabinets.
Cabinet Painters Give You High-Quality Painted Cabinets
Since cabinet painters are trained specifically for painting cabinets, they know everything there is to know about cabinet painting. They have the techniques down and there is no guessing. Prep work for painting a house is very different than prep work for painting kitchen cabinets. Not doing cabinet painting prep work properly can be the difference between professionally painted kitchen cabinets and a subpar paint job that won’t last as long.
Cabinet Painters Charge You Less
Since cabinet painters are efficient with their work, they can charge you less. A house painter will likely charge you based on how long it will take them and since they do not usually paint cabinets it will likely take them longer. An experienced cabinet painter has all the steps down and won’t waste time figuring out what’s next. And since this is a cabinet painters profession, they have pricing figured out to give you the best deal but still make a profit.
Cabinet Painters Do It Faster
Cabinet painters know what they’re doing. They have a system in place to get your kitchen cabinets painted quickly and professionally. A house painter may not have the proper equipment needed to paint cabinets or hang them to get an even coat. This means it could take weeks to get your cabinets painted. That’s weeks that you won’t have a kitchen to cook in, causing you to have to go out to eat or get take out, and ultimately adding up your expenses. The cabinet painters at Sound Finish can paint your cabinets in 3-4 days, saving you a lot of time and money.
