Your beloved cabinet can be on-trend once again with a fresh coat of colored spray paint. Bring a new favorite hue into the room with a few easy steps.

PREPARE: Always work in a well-ventilated area, such as a garage, and cover the floor and surrounding areas with a drop cloth to protect it from overspray. Remove all old hardware from the cabinet, and apply painter's tape to any areas you don't want to paint. Lightly scuff the surface with sandpaper.



PAINT: Shake the spray paint in Gloss Ocean Mist for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Then, hold the can 10-16” away from the cabinet and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion. Apply 2-3 light coats to the entire cabinet a few minutes apart. 



FINISH: Remove painter's tape 20 minutes after the last coat and let everything dry completely for 24 hours. Re-install hardware.

TIP: Use of a primer & topcoat provides added protection and longer-lasting color. We recommend 2X Ultra Cover Primer in White and Clear Topcoat.
