How to Paint a Kitchen Island
Painting your kitchen island is an excellent way to make your kitchen look much better than it already does. It is extremely simple to paint your kitchen island, even if you are a beginner. Painting your kitchen island is an easy and cost friendly way to upgrade the entire space.
Materials:
- Screwdriver
- Tarp
- Wood cleaner
- Sandpaper
- Primer
- Paint
- Painting supplies
- Take off all of the cabinet doors that are located on the kitchen island using a screwdriver. Take off all of the hinges, handles and door knobs if needed. Put them somewhere where you will not misplace them.
Use a wood cleaner to clean off the island.
Run some sandpaper over the island. Brush away all of the dust that was left by the sandpaper and let it dry.
Put a tarp on the floor and put some primer on the surface of the island and the doors. Let this dry for about four hours.
Select what color you would like to paint the island. Use a paintbrush to paint the island the color that you have chosen. Apply a thin coat and let it dry for about for hours. Paint the doors in the same way that you have painted the island.
Repeat step five to paint one to three more coats on the island. Make sure that you allow each coat about four hours to dry before you start to paint the next coat. After you have finished painting, do not put the doors, handles, hinges, or door knobs on until the paint has dried. Once the paint has dried, use a screwdriver to attach all of them back on.
