Rust-Oleum Kitchen Cupboard Paint is engineered for high performance in a busy kitchen environment. Its ultra-flat matt finish provides a contemporary, sophisticated look, while the highly concentrated formula ensures excellent coverage and deep colour from fewer coats. The paint's quick-drying property (touch dry in one hour) is a significant advantage for kitchen updates, allowing you to complete projects faster and minimize disruption. For example, you can apply a coat in the morning and have it ready for a second coat by afternoon. Its durability means it stands up well to the inevitable splashes and stains that occur in a kitchen, such as cooking oil, food splatters, and general wear from daily use, making cleaning effortless. It's specifically designed for kitchen cabinets, providing a robust and attractive surface that can handle regular wiping and light scrubbing without compromising the finish. Remember to always clean surfaces thoroughly before painting for optimal adhesion and finish.
Preparation: Ensure kitchen cabinet surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or loose debris. Light sanding may be required for very glossy surfaces to aid adhesion.
Priming (Conditional): For most surfaces, a primer is not needed. However, if painting over wood with visible knots or areas known to bleed stains, apply a suitable knotting solution or stain-blocking primer first.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply thin, even coats with a good quality brush or roller. Avoid over-brushing.
Drying: Allow at least one hour to be touch dry between coats. Follow label instructions for full cure time before heavy use.
Suitable for: Kitchen cabinets (wood, laminate, MDF).
Not Suitable for: Kitchen countertops, direct application to metal surfaces.
Cleaning: The durable finish allows for easy cleaning of spills and splatters with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that could damage the matt finish.
