While the whole point of using chalk paint is to save time we still have some basic maintenance to do on our cabinets before we paint them.
Give them a wash with soapy water no harsh chemicals needed.
I didn t even take the doors off no one but me really sees the room so it didn t need to be perfect.
No prep no sanding just painting.
Luckily chalk paints are thick but will also dry quickly and thus you can add another coating immediately.
Traditionally chalk paint is finished with wax but because kitchen cabinets receive such heavy wear i wanted to use a finish that wouldn t need maintenance.
The chalk part of chalk paint refers to the finish but the possibilities are actually endless.
You can use wax to seal the paint and make it more durable.
Painting oak cabinets or any cabinets for that matter is super easy with chalk paint.
Not the look i want with white cabinets.
Plus depending on how well you buff the wax you can create quite a nice sheen which has a great silky feeling.
Paint the cupboards in your chosen chalk paint.
My go to wood sealer is polyurethane but it s a finish that notoriously yellows.
Chalk paint is a fantastic option for painting cabinets since there is barely any prep work involved that s right no sanding and sanding and sanding it goes on easily you only need a couple coats and it has a beautiful finish.
