The reason I’d see it as one paint job is that paint around the edges can get a bit gloopy (especially if you use too much paint) so what I like to do when painting around the edge of the door is to hold it upright and lightly brush over any paint that collects on the front and back of the door to smooth it out. It will hold up just fine and is preferred if you are doing a painted. (you’ll obviously have to let the paint dry before you can turn the door over). Veneer is often used for the center panel of cabinet doors in order to keep costs down. The order in which you paint them doesn’t really matter but I’d probably see the whole door as one and paint everything with primer, then sand everything, then paint everything the first time, then sand everything, then paint the whole door again, etc. They’re still amazing, help to achieve a perfect finish and we highly recommend them!Ĭongratulations on your new home, Corinne! So glad you found the post helpful and painting your cabinets sounds like a great idea! We didn’t bother to paint the inside of the cabinets (we were way too lazy for that), but it’s something you can do if you want.
