Living Room Cabinet Painting With Less Mess In Scappoose, OR

Though the living room cabinets in your home may be well built, it's entirely possible that after time has passed they are going to begin to show their age in other ways -- through their color, for example.

A good paint job is going to do wonders to bring them back to life but if you are not careful with how you go about the project, you will find yourself with a mess to clean after you have finished.

With a bit of good preparation and the knowledge we will be imparting upon you today, it's quite easy to make sure that you will have less of a mess due to your own painting project.

With that being so, let's have a look at some tips for living room cabinet painting with less mess when you want well painted living room cabinets.

1. Remove Hardware

One thing that's going to help you get your cabinets painted in a less messy manner is to make sure that you remove the hardware before you start painting the cabinets.

Not only does this make it less messy, it will make it easier to paint as you won't have to take your time slowly getting to the hardware and avoiding getting paint on them.

The good thing about removing the hardware on your cabinet is that you will find that there are other benefits, including the fact that you can entirely change your hardware and give your cabinets a new look in another way.

2. Cover The Floor

Though it might seem fairly obvious, some people just aren't aware of the fact that you will need to cover the floor nearby to where you are painting your cabinet or cabinets.

Indeed, for as carefully as you may want to think you are painting your cabinet, it's entirely possible that some paint is going to drip down from your brush or roller and if you have an uncovered floor that means it will end up there.

You can rest assured that the amount of time that you will inevitably spend trying to clean paint off of your floor, especially once it has dried, is going to be significantly greater than how much time it takes to lay down a drop cloth or tarp and then to collect it after you've finished painting.

3. Primer First

Another way that you can get your painting project to be less messy is to make use of a primer before you apply your first coat of paint.

Doing this is going to ensure that your paint sticks to the surfaces that you are painting better than if you were to not use a primer, and on top of that you can look forward to your paint staying on longer thanks to its adhesive nature.

Another positive aspect of making use of primer before your paint is that you will find that any stains that are present are going to be blocked much better by the primer than if you just try to use paint alone.

4. Ventilate Well

Lastly, we are going to recommend that you make sure that the area where you are painting is well ventilated, as this will help you to get your paint to dry more quickly.

Moreover, it is going to help you in that you will have a more pleasant environment in which you will paint because the air will be more fresh and easy to breathe than if you do not take care to ventilate the space in which you are painting.
