The process of Painting your kitchen cabinet is very easy and affordable and you can have attractive colors if you do it yourself. Here are some tips on how to paint kitchen cabinets that you should take into consideration.

2) Remove pulls, knobs, handles and hinges from the cabinet with the help of a manual screwdriver. Remove the drawers and also the knobs and handles on them. It is advisable to remove the doors to the cabinet, as it will make your job much easier.
