It’s easy to breathe new life into your kitchen cabinets and units with our scrubbable, stain-resistant cabinet paint. Below are our step-by-step guides to painting kitchen cabinetry using our two toughest interior finishes: Flat Eggshell (low sheen) and Modern Eggshell (mid sheen).
Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, or other contaminants
Lightly sand the surface to improve paint adhesion
Apply Farrow & Ball Wood Primer & Undercoat in the recommended tone* to any knotty or resinous areas
Apply one full coat of Farrow & Ball Wood Primer & Undercoat
Apply two coats of Flat Eggshell or Modern Eggshell, depending on the sheen chosen, allowing the recommended drying time between coats
Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry, and free from contaminants
Strip and sand any areas where paint is peeling or blistering
Feather the edges of any previous paint repairs

Depending on how tightly bound the MDF fibres are, extra precautions may be required. If the fibres begin to rise during application, lightly sand between coats to achieve a smooth finish.
When sanding any surface prior to painting, keep dust to a minimum and wear a dust mask as a sensible precaution.
Lightly sand the edges to reduce paint absorption
Apply one coat of Farrow & Ball Wood Primer & Undercoat in the recommended tone*
