A Step-by-Step Process For Kitchen Respray

Preparation: Our professionals will meticulously prep the area. This involves removing cabinet doors and drawers, numbering them for easy reassembly. They then thoroughly clean the surfaces to ensure good paint adhesion. Degreasing and sanding are important steps we take to remove grease, grime and smoothen rough areas.

Masking:  To achieve this, we use plastic sheeting, tape, and paper. Your entire kitchen will be meticulously masked off, protecting your walls, countertops, appliances, and anything else from paint splatter.

Spraying:  Now comes the moment of transformation! Using high quality, state-of-the-art equipment and a professional spray gun, our team will apply multiple coats of primer and paint, ensuring even coverage and a smooth finish. The team will also apply different layers of coating to deliver a satisfactory finish. Depending on the chosen paint type, drying or curing time may be required between coats.

Quality Control and Finishing Touches: After the final coat dries, the  masking is removed. Our team inspects the work for any imperfections, touching them up if needed and making sure your taste is achieved. Finally, the hardware is reinstalled, and your cabinets are ready to shine again! You will then be invited to inspect the finished job. We consider a job done only when you are satisfied.

 

How to Prepare for Kitchen Respray: A Step-by-Step Guide

Changing the look of your kitchen with kitchen respray is an exciting project, but proper preparation is key to ensuring a flawless finish. You are about to read a detailed guide to get your kitchen ready for a revamp, along with some helpful tips on choosing the right colors and finishes and ensuring safety throughout the process. This is how we do it:

Step 1: Clear the Area

Before you begin, it’s important to remove all items from your kitchen cabinets and drawers. Clear countertops and ensure that all appliances are either removed or properly covered and protected from paint sprays. If you are unable to do this on your own, we are available to help.

Step 2: Clean Surfaces Thoroughly

Kitchen surfaces accumulate grease, oils, and other residues that can prevent paint from sticking properly. Use a strong degreaser to clean all areas to be painted thoroughly. This step is a crucial step we take seriously in achieving a smooth, professional finish.

Step 3: Sanding

Once your surfaces are clean, sanding is the next step. Sanding helps to remove the glossy finish on old paint and provides a rougher surface that enhances paint adhesion. Use medium-grit sandpaper and ensure to wipe down the dust afterward.

Step 4: Apply Primer

The next important step is to apply primer, especially if you are changing the color of your cabinets from dark to light. It ensures that the new paint adheres well and provides a consistent base for the topcoats of paint. Allow the primer to dry completely according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 5: Mask Off Areas

To protect areas you do not want to paint or spray, you can use painter’s tape to mask off those areas, such as hardware, countertops, and walls. This step requires precision, as it prevents overspray and ensures sharp, clean lines.

Step 6. Choosing the Right Colors and Finishes

Finally, selecting the right color and finish for your kitchen can give your kitchen an overall look and feel of the room.  It is advisable to observe how different colors look in your kitchen at various times of the day. Colors can appear different under natural and artificial lighting. Additionally , high-gloss finishes are durable and easy to clean, making them ideal for kitchens. However, they tend to show imperfections more clearly than matte finishes, which offer a softer look.

At Spray City, there are a thousand of colour options to choose from the Full Farrow & Ball Range and RAL Colour Chart.

While it’s tempting to go for the trendiest colors, remember that kitchens are long-term investments. Neutral colors can be appealing for their longevity and versatility, but we will give you the exact shade of any colour you decide to go for.

 

Kitchen Materials and Surfaces Suitable for Respray

You may be wondering if your kitchen is suitable for respray. Although most kitchen surfaces can be allergic to spraying, we have provided  a bit of information on materials and surfaces that we can spray. A wide variety of kitchen materials and surfaces can be resprayed, making it incredibly versatile. So you don’t have to be skeptical or worried about the possibility of spraying your kitchen to a new standard. 

There are numerous surfaces that spray paint stick with and the most common include:

1. Wood:

One of the most popular choices, wood, can be primed and painted to bring new life to old cabinets. If you own cabinets that are made of wood, be rest assured that we will provide premium workmanship to you. However, if your kitchen units are worn out, spraying may not give you that ” fresh from the oven” look, but what it will do for you is freshen up  your kitchen and help prolong the lifespan of your cabinets. If your kitchen units are in good condition, they can be as good as brand new when resprayed.

2. Laminate:

Another surface or material that we can spray is Laminate. Although trickier to paint than wood, with the right preparation and primer like what we do at Spray City, laminate cabinets and surfaces can be effectively sprayed.

3. Metal: 

The next item on our list of surfaces or material we spray are metals. Metal is often used for modern kitchen designs, metal can also be sprayed to either bring back its original luster or to give it a completely new color.

4. MDF and Particle Board:

This is very common in many kitchens due to their cost-effectiveness. They are capable of  holding paint well when properly prepared.

Each material requires specific preparation techniques such as cleaning, sanding, and priming to ensure the paint adheres well and lasts. The result is a high-quality finish that can withstand the wear and tear of kitchen use, offering a new look that revitalizes the entire space.

Equipment for  Kitchen Spraying

1. Professional Spray Gun: This pressurized tool ensures a smooth, even application of paint, unlike what can be achieved with a brush or roller. 
2. High-Quality Paint and Primer: These are formulated for kitchen use, being durable, easy to clean, and resistant to heat and moisture. 
3. Extensive Masking Supplies: From drop cloths to tape and specialized papers, professional masking creates a clean and protected environment. 
4. Safety Gear: Respirators and protective clothing are essential for safe paint application.

While DIY can be cheaper upfront, the cost of mistakes, purchasing equipment, and the time investment can make professional kitchen spraying a worthwhile investment, especially for a complex kitchen or valuable cabinets.

If done professionally with high-quality materials like what we use, they can last up to ten years. The longevity of sprayed cabinets often depends on the type of paint used, the application process, and how well the cabinets are maintained.
