"As eager as you might be to dive right in and see the results, it helps to proceed with caution. Matt Boden, owner of Fresh Coat Painters of Tampa, has found that it helps to slow down and understand the ins and outs of painting your kitchen. Surface cleaning and applying a primer is a must, and you won't score any brownie points for painting in poor lighting."
"Even the glossiest paint won't be able to flaunt its lacquer if it is slathered onto stained, greasy walls. The latter is a bigger concern in the kitchen out of all the rooms in the house - picture the amount of steam, grease, and oily residue that clings onto the walls in this space. "If not cleaned before painting, these residues prevent paint from adhering properly, leading to peeling, bubbling, or uneven finishes. Paint also traps dirt beneath, causing discoloration over time," Matt Boden cautions."
Painting a kitchen can refresh the space without a costly renovation when done carefully. Kitchens accumulate steam, grease, and oily residue that prevent paint adhesion and cause peeling, bubbling, and discoloration. Walls and cabinets should be washed with a degreasing solution such as warm water and dish soap or trisodium phosphate, and allowed to dry completely before priming. Proper priming, adequate drying time between coats, and good lighting are essential. Rushing steps or reinstalling hardware too soon can ruin a professional-looking finish.
