Purple Painting did a complete interior repaint of a home in Santa Barbara, including all interior walls, and converted the previously stained kitchen cabinets to a paint-grade finish. The cabinets were sanded, primed with an oil-based primer and finished with a sprayed coating. Fronts and drawers were painted on both sides, the cabinet boxes on the outside only.

A new Santa Barbara resident with a strong sense of design set out to refresh their home’s interior with a complete repaint. The project introduced rich, inviting colors throughout all interior walls and transformed the previously stained kitchen cabinets into a sleek, modern paint-grade finish. The cabinets were carefully sanded, primed with an oil-based primer, and finished with a smooth, durable sprayed coating for a refined, designer-quality result. Cabinet fronts and drawers were painted on both sides and the cabinet boxes on the outside only.

How we do it

  1. Mask the kitchen

    The range hood, oven and everything not being painted were masked off before spraying.

  2. Sand the stained cabinets

    The previously stained cabinets were sanded so the primer would hold.

  3. Prime with an oil-based primer

    An oil-based CoverStain primer went on to convert the stained wood to a paint-grade finish.
