How to Refinish Metal Kitchen Cabinets
In this review I will focus on the metal cabinets and hopefully you will find the information useful and relevant.
One thing to keep in mind is that you can only finish cabinets that are still in good shape.
In addition, they should fit well with you're the style of the house.
In many of my reviews I normally just recommend DIY but in this case I think one best option is to have a local company work on them.
The reason is because some of the metal cabinets may have been made by companies that don't even exist right now e.
g.
I know a someone who had his done by "Artmetal' in James town NY but now he can't locate the company in James Town.
So the next best thing is to find a trained expert to work on them.
My best answer to the question of how to refinish metal kitchen cabinets is to have your them electrostatic painted inside and out.
It is very cost effective to refinish metal cabinets with electrostatic painting.
This process basically uses a wet solvent-based paint.
There is no baking or oven curing required as some suggest.
These people confuse powder coating with electrostatic painting.
You would probably need to first clean them with 409 and remove all the handles before painting.
Make sure that there is an open window when doing this and use an exhaust fan or something similar.
Furthermore you would have to live the windows overnight the next day in order to vent the house.
