Painted my yellowed oak kitchen cabinets

[niner]

Well this was quite the project. My wife was getting tired of our yellowed oak. So I said I would paint them. (Didn't like the quotes she was getting). Well now I know why they wanted so much money to paint them. Ended up buying a sprayer and sprayed the doors in the garage and rolled the cabinets in the house. Used a Benjamin Moore paint. Semigloss. End result turned out really good.

hahaha, did the mistake of showing your pics to my wife(our oak cabinets are solid and still very good shape, like new), but she liked yours... your kitchen looks awesome!!!

Looks good. What are you going to do when oak comes back in fashion?

 

[rzrgade]

It's kind of the best of both worlds, can still see the grain of the wood, but it's nice and bright. No style lasts forever but at least I got this project done before dark is the new style. I learned a lot the hard way though. At first started with one paint company who helped when I finished my basement, he used to work for Benjamin Moore but switched, gave me some bad advice and poor paint and then zero help. So sanded my ass off and started over. Switched back to Benjamin and everything went smooth.

Sweet looking cabinets. Now with all the money you just saved yourself there's no way the wife can blame you for dropping a few bucks and a couple flats of Wobblies.
just be careful because after sliding back the beers you might get talked into tackling another project on the honey dew list.

Looks great. M definitely not showing the wife the pics though... I've been caught in that trap too many times.

Definitely looks real good. But isn't there a law against painting over solid oak?

Oh I was pretty sceptical at first. Lots of eye rolling. But the more I researched it I found it is getting very common. My wife's father teaches shop and he wasn't in favour at first but I won him over with the results.

We will never have dark cupboards again. Shows way too much finger prints.

Looks great! That oak grain can he hard to paint nice. Lighter floors and cabinets is the way to do it!

 

[linktel]

That looks good
Lotsa brownie points after that should be good for the summer?

Those turned out great.
What did you use for a sprayer, and where did you get it?
I've been looking at sprayers for a while and know that I don't want an airless. I have considered a Wagner, because they have improved, since they first came out.
