2. Clean all parts of the cabinets to remove grease, dust, food residue, and other dirt with Natura Safe Prep. Patch holes and gauges.
3. Sand cabinets with 120 to180 grit sandpaper to prepare the
surface for good adhesion to the top coat, and wipe clean. Note:
High-gloss cabinets will need to be deglossed with the use of a liquid
deglosser such as Natura Safe Sand).
4. No priming is
necessary. The Designer Series Cabinet and Furniture paint is 100 %
acrylic and is a paint and primer in one. It's stain and mildew
resistant too.
5. Apply the paint using a mini velvet or foam roller for large surfaces and an angled brush for remaining parts.
6.
Paint will be dry to the touch in 1 to 2 hours, however, waiting 12
hours for a recoat is recommended. Once all necessary coats have been
applied, the paint will cure to hardness in about 7 days.
7. Once the paint has cured thoroughly, reattach the cabinet fronts and hardware.
