• Select a high-adhesion primer
• Label all cabinet doors and drawers

CLEANING & PREP
• Degrease all surfaces (use TSP or degreaser)

SANDING
• Sand surfaces with 120–150 grit to dull the finish

• Remove dust with vacuum + tack cloth or microfiber rag
PRIMING

PAINTING
• Apply first thin coat of cabinet paint
• Let dry 4–6 hours (or as directed)
