How Can I Fix My Ruined Kitchen Cabinet Paint Job?
Asked by CreativePineapple89
I attempted to paint my kitchen cabinets but ended up making a mess with drips and uneven spots. I really can't afford to hire a professional painter, and now I'm feeling super stressed about how to fix it. Does anyone have tips or tricks for making my cabinets look decent again?

It sounds like sanding and repainting are your best bets. There’s really not an easy fix for drips. Start by sanding down the rough areas, then apply a good quality cabinet paint. I've had success with Sherwin Williams Emerald semi-gloss. Just remember to brush it on first, then roll with a foam roller right after to reduce drips and achieve a smooth finish. After two coats, it should look pretty good! If you do see a drip or two, just sand it down and touch it up. You'll get there!

Definitely sand and repaint! I also use Sherwin Williams Emerald for a lot of my projects. Just be careful while applying it. After brushing, use a foam roller to minimize those pesky drips. If you notice some uneven spots after a couple of coats, don’t stress; just sand those down and repaint those specific areas. It should blend in nicely and give your cabinets a fresh look!
