2) Put down the plastic under the kitchen cabinets that are going to be paint. This will shield the floor and surfaces below. Use painter's tape for cabinets edges and areas you do not want to paint. Make a decision that which color you want as the primary color, and which as the accent. Do you want white kitchen cabinets with yellow accents or yellow kitchen cabinets with white accents? Open and stir the main color.

Take your time to avoid drips, runs, smears and mistakes. Soft hair brushes work the best to affect paint smoothly.

Calculate it carefully, apply the tape and paint the outer border for a trim look using the accent color.

All that's left is to take care of the plastic. Step back and take a look. Once the paint is dry, your kitchen cabinets are usable again. It's best to give them 24 hours.
