First Stage: Painting Cabinets
- 1. Take out any items from your cabinets that you want to protect from dust or paint. Remove all the hardware with a screwdriver or drill. If you’re reusing the hinges or pulls, store them in ziptop plastic bags with a note indicating where each one came from. Set up some tables or sawhorses in an open area with good ventilation and bring all your doors and drawers to that location. This will be the painting headquarters for the doors and drawers.
