Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering properly or peeling.

Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and completely dry before painting. For very glossy surfaces, a light sanding is recommended to create a 'key' for the paint to adhere to.

Uneven finish or brush/roller marks visible.

Apply thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint. Use high-quality brushes or rollers, and ensure proper drying time between coats. If spraying, ensure proper dilution and technique.

Poor coverage after one coat.

Two coats are recommended for Rust-Oleum Kitchen Cupboard Paint to achieve optimal color depth and durability, especially when painting over a dark or contrasting color.

Paint appears too thick for spraying.

Dilute the paint with 10-20% clean water. This will help achieve the correct viscosity for smooth spray application and prevent clogging.

Matt finish appears inconsistent or patchy.

Ensure even application across the entire surface. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to keep the matting agents evenly dispersed. Avoid applying in very cold or humid conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Prepare the Area: Clear the work area, remove cabinet doors and drawers if possible, and protect surrounding surfaces with dust sheets or painter's tape.
  2. Clean Surfaces: Thoroughly clean all surfaces to be painted with a degreaser or sugar soap. Rinse well with clean water and allow to dry completely. Any grease or dirt will prevent proper adhesion.
  3. Light Sanding (Optional but Recommended for Glossy): For very glossy or varnished surfaces, a light sand with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 180-220 grit) can improve adhesion. Wipe away all sanding dust before painting.
  4. Stir Paint: Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure consistent color and finish.
  5. Apply First Coat: Apply a thin, even first coat using a high-quality brush or roller. For spray application, dilute the paint with 10-20% water.
  6. Dry Time: Allow the first coat to dry completely. > Info needed: Specific drying time before applying the second coat.
  7. Apply Second Coat: Apply a second thin, even coat. Two coats are recommended for optimal durability and finish.
  8. Cure Time: Allow the paint to fully cure before putting cabinets back into heavy use to ensure maximum hardness and scrubbability. > Info needed: Full cure time.

Compatibility

This paint is highly versatile and is compatible with a wide range of kitchen cabinet materials:

  • Wood: Solid wood and wood veneers.
  • Melamine: Common laminated particle board cabinets.
  • Gloss Cupboards: High-gloss lacquered or painted surfaces.
  • Varnished Surfaces: Previously varnished wood.
  • Painted Surfaces: Existing painted cabinets.

Product Care

  • Routine Cleaning: For everyday cleaning, wipe down painted surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Stain Removal: Thanks to its `scrubbable` nature, tougher spills and stains can be gently cleaned using a mild household cleaner and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers, which can damage the matt finish.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong chemical cleaners or solvents, as these can degrade the paint finish over time.
