Rust-Oleum Kitchen Cupboard Paint is designed for practical, real-world application in busy kitchens. Its durable, scrubbable finish means it stands up well to the inevitable splashes and frequent cleaning associated with kitchen environments. The paint's formulation allows for direct application to common kitchen cabinet materials like wood, melamine, and gloss without the need for a separate primer, simplifying the process for DIY enthusiasts.
For example, if you have an outdated wooden cabinet, this paint can revitalize it with a modern Grape Soda matt finish, completely changing the room's aesthetic. Its increased durability against everyday spills and stains provides peace of mind, ensuring that accidental food or drink marks are easily wiped away without damaging the finish. When applied correctly (two coats recommended), the paint provides a consistent, smooth matt surface that not only looks good but also functions effectively in a high-traffic area.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure your kitchen cupboards are clean, dry, and free from grease or loose material. Lightly sand glossy surfaces for better adhesion, then wipe clean.
Mask: Use painter's tape to protect areas you don't wish to paint, such as hinges, handles, and adjacent walls.
Stir Well: Thoroughly stir the paint before and periodically during use to ensure consistent color and finish.
This paint is suitable for direct application onto:
Wood cupboards
Melamine cupboards
Gloss cupboards
Cleaning: The paint is tough against everyday wipe-downs and is scrubbable. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for general cleaning. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow adequate drying time between coats (as per label instructions) and before returning items to cupboards or heavy use.
