List of products that were used to repaint the Kitchen Cabinets

• Colorantic Varnish remover cleanser
• Colorantic Oil Primer
• Colorantic Chalk Paint – Ballerina
• Colorantic Chalk Paint – Tractor dust
• 35 mm Colorantic oval brush
• Colorantic Snow White Brush
• Clear Translucent Glaze – Window
• Sanding Block

The stages

1. First, clean cabinets thoroughly with Colorantic’s Varnish cleaner and remover. Spray on and leave for 30 minutes. Once the time has elapsed, rinse well twice using a hot-water cloth. This removes all residues.
2. Lightly sand the surfaces to scratch them, allowing the paint to adhere very well. It’s important to dust well before proceeding.
3. Then apply a coat of primer and leave to dry before applying the paint.

The Paint

1. Add 16 oz of translucent window glaze per gallon of Ballerina Colorantic chalk paint. This mixture makes the paint smoother and protects it better, given that the cabinets will need to be washed very frequently.
2. Next, apply a coat of Ballerina colour using the 35mm oval brush.
3. Since Colorantic chalk paint dries very quickly, you can apply a second coat of paint after 30 minutes.
4. Once the last coat has been applied, wait two hours before pursuing the project.

The finish

1. For a greyer effect, add a few drops of Tractor Dust to the clear glaze, Translucent Window.
2. Colorantic’s Snow White Paint Brush is perfect for this step.
3. Wait 24 hours before applying the second coat of glaze. For this step, use only the clear glaze Translucent Window (without the addition of paint).

To conclude, sit back and admire the results!
