Steps:

First, wash the cabinets well with Colorantic cleaner/varnish remover. Clean well so that no residue is left behind. Then let it completely dry.
Second, sand the surfaces, especially if it is melamine. Colorantic chalk-based paint adheres better to surfaces when lightly sanded.
Prepare your paint mix: Add 16 oz of Clear Translucent Window Glaze per Gallon of paint. This mixture gives the paint a smoother finish, making it easier to clean kitchen cabinets.
Afterwards, apply a coat of primer on your cabinet doors. However, wait until it is dry before painting. Sometimes it can take up to two days, depending on the primer used.
Next, apply the Colorantic Ballerina colour with our oval brush, as this gives better results than a foam roller. Note that our chalk base paint dries in thirty minutes. Two coats of Ballerina paint will be required.
It takes two hours for the last coat of paint to dry. After which you can add the clear translucent window glaze to your cabinets. For a grayer effect, add a few drops of Tractor Dust paint to your mixture. In this case, the Snow White brush from our collection is perfect for this step.
As we underline, it is necessary to wait a minimum of 24 hours to put the second coat of glaze. At this stage, take only the clear translucent window glaze without the Tractor Dust paint. Note that a regular Colorantic brush will be used for this step.
Finally, as soon as your cabinets are dry, put them back in place.
To conclude, sit down and admire the result ! 🙂
