Default Using auto painting shop to paint your kitchen cabinets

An auto shop would do a good job, but you want a product that stands up
to oils and abrasions, maybe auto paint is not the best, contact 3m,
Dupont, for their product advise. See if Sherwin Williams has automobile
paints, best is ask a manufacturer that makes both. Now if it is wood,
you need paint that expands and contracts, paint for specificly wood
cabinets that hold up to oils and hands, auto paint may be to hard and
crack and look bad in a year.


there are specific places for cabinets, my neighbor at work is one such,
familiar with the paints and processes.

Biggest issue is that all auto paints are gloss, while most home
finishes are some matte etc, which is actually a trickty little
deal[paint is naturally glossy and needs additives to be 'flat'
