Do you have to sand all the paint off before you paint and should you use a primer first?

I was just as the paint store today, and gazed at the Peppercorn you used. I thought it looked to black on the store, but in some of your shots it's clearly dark gray, which is what I am looking for. Would you say it shows up more black-gray or true gray to you? I'm sure that's hard to judge with different lighting, etc. I love your whole kitchen re-do, it's beautiful !!kimbobolinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827205124623631512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-49751046520518160422015-11-13T10:17:07.156-05:002015-11-13T10:17:07.156-05:00Any thoughts on re-painting kitchen cabinets?

I did end up caulking the corners of some of those frames though -- only with the white cabinets. There were gaps you don't see as much with the wood tones that I had to fill. If you get up close you can definitely see where the cabinet frames meet but that doesn't bother me -- you could see that before. You could maybe to black lowers? That would look beautiful!

I didn't do the panels because that part can move around and cause the problems you are dealing with. :( The spray covers that part well enough that it doesn't bother me.

And I'd use a BIN primer that's a shellac -- that will stick to laminate better. It can be done but the long term result is iffy and it's more work. Let me know if you try it!

Thanks! My quandary is I ...Great tutorial and tips. Thanks! My quandary is I have a 29 year old kitchen with original laminate cabinetry....which I hate. Mauve! Can you imagine anything worse? I've wanted to remodel the kitchen since we moved in nearly 17 yrs ago, but it's never been in the budget (appliances have been replaced, just not counters and cabinets). Fifteen years ago I SHOULD have at least painted the laminate, but I feared painting over laminate looking tacky (didn't have the same products we have today). Since then the years passed and the heavy wear and tear of a family of six left their mark. Now even painting them feels overwhelming and a waste of time. All that labor (and here's my biggest problem through the years) and what if, what IF I'm able to remodel. Why bother painting when the whole thing needs to be ripped out anyway? So there it stays for another year. Truly I've been my own worst enemy where my kitchen is concerned. I've remodeled the entire rest of the house and this darn kitchen holds me captive. Sigh. So I guess I'm asking you, is it worth trying to clean, prime, and paint these outdated laminate things?
