I went through and taped the interior lip, as well as where the cabinets meet the wall.
I used Zinsser Primer 1-2-3, I first painted the cracks and edges with a good paint brush. Immediately after use the foam rollers on the large surface areas. (I love these rollers, they are cheap and I have had great results, with no streaks! )
When painting/priming you will want to work in small sections. For example, don’t go through and do all your cracks, and joints, and then all your roller painting. Instead, follow up with the roller shortly after you use the brush, this will create a consistent finish. Be warned primer does dry very quickly.
While your cabinet bases are drying, you can start on your doors. I had my doors set up in the garage, and the kitchen. I set them on top of bins so that they would be elevated and I would easily be able to paint the edges.
PAINTING TIME!
Repeat the same steps from priming. I did do 2 coats of paint as well, make sure you sand inbetween coats. You do not need to sand after final coat.
So this is your itinerary:
1. Primer
(Allow dry time, if doing doors flip over and repeat)
2. Sand/Wipe Down
3. Primer
(Allow dry time, if doing doors flip over and repeat)
4. Sand/Wipe Down
5. Paint
(Allow dry time, if doing doors flip over and repeat)
6. Sand/Wipe Down
7. Paint
(Allow dry time, if doing doors flip over and repeat )
8. Stand Back and admire!
