SWMBO has decided she wants the kitchen cupboards painted.

What do you think is the best way to achieve a good durable paint
finish?

Crown sell a special undercoat for cupboards and a special top coat.

International sell a one coat paint for cupboards.

Has anyone had good or bad experience with these or others?

Finally is it best to roll, brush or spray the paint on?

Thanks
Get cans of car spray paint from halfords ;-)

I guess you haven't done much spraying with aerosols then?
And not a good idea to do it outside at this time of year .It's a warm
weather job to avoid bloom.


If you do go the spray route, it must be outside, otherwise just about
everything will get painted, and you can get in trouble from the
fumes.


Wusses the lot of you.

Overspray isn't that bad, and is catered for by enough newspapers.

I do it in a spare room, open window, shot door, and leave it till the
next coat.
