Cabinet painting updates the color and sheen of existing cabinetry using a professional spray finish, which is more durable than a DIY brush job and closer in appearance to a factory finish. It is typically the least expensive way to change the look of a kitchen without touching the boxes themselves.
What cabinet painting typically includes
Degreasing and sanding or deglossing existing surfaces
Door and drawer front removal for shop or garage spraying
Primer coat suited to the existing material
Sprayed topcoat in your chosen color and sheen
Reinstallation and hardware reattachment or upgrade
Cost and timeline in Northern Colorado
Painting typically costs less than refacing or replacement, with most Fort Collins area jobs completing in a few days to two weeks depending on the number of doors and whether boxes are painted in place or in a shop.

A properly prepped and sprayed cabinet finish using cabinet-grade paint holds up well to normal kitchen use. The prep work, not the paint itself, is what most affects long-term durability.
Can any cabinet be painted?
Most wood, MDF and previously painted cabinets take paint well. Laminate and thermofoil surfaces need a specific primer system and not every shop will warranty paint over them.
How does painting compare to refacing?
Painting changes color and sheen only. Refacing changes the door style and can update hardware and trim as well, at a higher price point.
