Kitchen cupboard spraying has become increasingly popular in the last few years. Koolcreations, a leading kitchen spraying company based in Surrey UK, offers professional kitchen spraying services to domestic and commercial and even celebrity clients.

There are numerous benefits to kitchen cupboard spraying, instead of a costly and time consuming kitchen replacement. In this guide, we will discuss how to professionally respray your kitchen cupboards and explain the process’s different stages.

The kitchen spraying process can be broken down into various stages, preparation & cleaning, masking, ventilation, spraying and refitting.

If you are looking to achieve a professional standard of your kitchen respray, you should always seek out a professional kitchen spraying company such as Koolcreations.

Preparing For Kitchen Cupboard Spraying.

All kitchen cupboards must prepared using a specific sanding process depending on the surface i.e. wood, laminate, metal etc. Once sanded a deep cleaning process is carried out using a degreaser, this must be completed before any kitchen cupboard spraying can take place. This is to ensure that there is no grease or dirt build-up on the cupboards which could affect the paint’s adhesion to the surface. Koolcreations use specialist cleaning fluids to ensure that kitchen cupboard doors and drawer fronts are thoroughly cleaned.

Masking

Masking is a crucial step in the kitchen cupboard spraying process, it is important to make sure that all surfaces which are not being painted are protected from paint overspray. We use paper/plastic rolls of masking material to completely cover all the areas of your kitchen where the new colour isn’t being applied, we also utilise plastic/polythene sheeting as another method of masking.

Feature panels which cannot be removed such as tend panels are sprayed in situ, and the areas around these features are fully masked off.

Ventilation & Safety Equipment

As with any kitchen paint spraying project, it is vital to make sure the room/area where you are spraying is fully ventilated. This helps to ensure that any overspray and fumes from the paint are dissipated so that paint smells are minimised and the atmosphere is safe for working in. Koolcreations uses industrial extractor fans to ventilate the work area, we also wear full face masks when spraying to help protect our tec's from potential particle inhalation.

Spraying Kitchen Cupboards - Primer & Top Coat

In order to achieve the highest possible paint finish, we remove all kitchen cupboard doors and hardware (handles & hinges). We then transport these doors and drawer fronts to our purpose-built spraying unit, ready to apply the paint in a dust-free, ventilated environment.

The kitchen cupboards are now ready for spraying, we begin the process by applying a primer coat (2 coats). This is an essential step as it provides the new paint with a surface to adhere to, it also helps to give an even coverage and colour when the topcoat is applied.

Once the primer coat has cured we begin applying the top coat (2 coats), in a colour of your choice. The top coat is applied in multiple applications, building up the coverage of paint on the kitchen cupboard doors and drawers.

Once the kitchen cupboard spraying is complete, they are then left to fully dry on drying racks in our spraying unit, ready to be transported back to your property.

Refitting Doors & Drawers

The newly sprayed doors and drawers are carefully packaged up, using removal blankets to prevent them from damage during transit. We deliver the newly spray painted cupboard doors back to your property and carefully reinstall them, back onto the kitchen units. Their original handles (or new if you are changing these too) and hinges are refitted and all masking materials are removed.

Cleaning & Tidying Up

Now that the spraying and reinstallation are complete the process is nearly finished, the only thing left to do is de-mask and clean. All masking materials are placed in waste bags and taken away.
