We painted a cabinet with flat black KRYLON Acrylic Latex Enamel two weeks ago.?
It is still too tacky to handle. We are in humid Central Florida so that is a factor but it appears that this paint is never going to kick. We brought the drawers indoors under air but they are still just as tacky. Any experts out there?
Some paints absorb moisture from the atmosphere and this causes the chemistry of the polymerization to change. Perhaps that is what has caused the slow setup of your paint. One very humid evening years ago I painted a truck with acrylic enamel automotive paint and it took 2 years for that to really set up. If it hadn't been my own truck I would have had to strip it and repaint it.
Did you use a primer compatible with the existing coating on the cabinets and also your paint? The wrong primer can cause all kinds of heartburn. Other possible causes could be an incompatible coating originally painted on the cabinets which has mixed with the acrylic paint to make a mess. Cooking oils can really screw up a paint job. Did you wash the cabinets thoroughly with TSP and thinner before painting?
You could have purchased a bad batch of paint from Krylon. I have used Krylon quick dry lacquer based paints for years with good results but recently I have had trouble with being able to apply a second coat without it lifting the first. I think they have changed the chemistry.
There is a customer service number on the can if I'm not mistaken and sometimes a call to them actually ends up helping.
Unfortunately, sometimes with paint jobs, if the coating you apply does not do what it is supposed to do, all you can do then, is clean it all off and start over with a paint product which you know works, applied on a properly prepared surface.
Every painter knows that 90% of the paint job is preparation of the surface for the paint. Applying the paint is the easy part. The importance of preparation is the part they leave out of the instructions.
Hope some of this is useful to you.

Painted VS Stained Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets can be considered the crowning glory of the heart of homes, being the most visually dominating surfaces in the area. Though a main element in achieving an appealing ambiance, they are also among the most functional features thus are branded the building blocks of kitchens. To help them achieve an aesthetically interesting façade, there are two main ways that can be done. They can either be painted or stained. And this article discusses various points comparing painted versus stained kitchen cabinets.
To start off, it is important to note that both painted and stained kitchen cabinets are not only attractive. The coats whether a paint of solid color, or finish of whatever combination of stains and glazes also act as an added protection. This ensures longevity of your cabinetry allowing your set to efficiently stand through the test of time and the common intensive nature of kitchen tasks which will sooner or later make their impression on the cabinetry.
Painted Kitchen Cabinets
One great advantage of choosing paints over stains is the almost limitless choice you have when it comes to color options. This makes up for versatility where you can easily select the perfect hue to complete the interior design color scheme and blend in with the rest of the décor.
Painting gives the impression of uniformity and allows you to give a more interesting character to the room that reflects the homeowner's stylish preferences whether it be bright and sunny, subdued, bold and daring, or anywhere in between. Painted kitchen cabinets can brandish one single color or a beautiful combination of many hues that depict a design theme such as organic, festive, neutral, etc. This can be a perfect choice whatever your kitchen design is from traditional, to contemporary and even eclectic.
Painted kitchen cabinets look great and will not allow any discolorations on the wood-natural or not, to show. But with semi-transparent stains, these flaws will stand out. However, if you decide to refinish and stain the cabinetry instead the work would be more intensive.
Stained Kitchen Cabinets
When you try to reminisce back into time and try to imagine kitchens of high-end homes, one common thing that links them are the luxuriously stained kitchen cabinets. With wood stains, you can achieve a more lavish look. This option is best taken if you want to highlight the exquisite, rich grains of the hardwood species of your choice especially oak with their open grains that delightfully imprint cabinet surfaces with unique patterns of knots and streaks of mineral deposits.
Though you still have many choices when it comes to stain options, the range still pales in comparison to your choices if you opt for painted kitchen cabinets. Still, whatever glaze and finish you will end up with will surely prove to be extremely captivating from the light touch of honey, to rich chocolate and to the intimate feel of espresso.
Another advantage of stained kitchen cabinets over painted ones is that if in the future, you decide to change the look of the cabinetry and paint them instead, you can easily sand them down a bit for adhesion and paint over the surface.

what color should i paint my kitchen cabinets?
My kitchen is pretty small, and the countertops are a slightly lighter wood color than the medium wood cabinets. I'd like to paint the cabinets and drawers and put knobs on them, but I want to leave the countertops alone for now. Thanks in advance.
Off white is always warm, inviting, classic, and looks great with wood. It is much better than a stark white for keeping clean.
Off white will brighten the look of your kitchen.

Choosing The Right Cabinet Finish
Installing new cabinets in any area of your home, be it the kitchen, office, or master bedroom, takes much thought and preparation. Aside from being functional, ideal cabinet systems are ones that can aesthetically blend well, as well as even enhance any given room. In order or this to be done, there is a wealth of knowledge concerning cabinet types, as well as areas of simple interior design that can help steer one in the right direction to choose cabinets. It is in researching different styles, shopping around, and taking advantage of these resources can really make a difference in choosing cabinets that coordinate well with a particular space.
Many cabinets, antique and classic, or simple and modern are made from different wood materials. This includes softer more flexible woods like plywood, or harder solid wood materials, such as birch or oak. With natural finishes such as wood, cabinets have neutrality in color, making them more versatile. However, even with specific wood finishes, there are ways to aesthetically coordinate cabinets. For example, many interior designers believe that matching several types of wood (i.e.-wood flooring and cabinets) can be too similar and can thus make a space look flat and underwhelming. Instead, creating a 'furniture look' for cabinets and its surrounding areas can be achieved by mixing different types of wood cabinets, like painted or stained wood, with natural wood. Also, different wood cabinets can be mixed in a single area. For example, cabinet doors do not necessarily have to match drawers. Instead, this visual contrast can create an interesting style that keeps any room lively and fresh.
When using colored or painted cabinets, the simple basic rules of the color wheel can be used to achieve both contrast and harmony-two elements must be balanced in order to create visual appeal. The relationships among primary, secondary, and tertiary colors are visually laid out in the color wheel, allowing for easy color combination. Colors on the very opposite ends create the most interesting contrast. Therefore, when using colored cabinets or cabinets that have been painted a solid color, opposite tints on the color wheel may be very ideal. Colors that are beside each other or are moderately closer to each other are usually very similar and can counteract the visual play of color schemes. This detraction is not ideal. With the use of a color wheel, simple color schemes with colored cabinets can come together easily.
Different styles of cabinets on the market make coordination a little more challenging. When deciding what styles to mix and match with the room or environment, it is important to balance cohesion and juxtaposition. For example, using rustic antique cabinets can go well with a more modern space, as to create contrast. Utilizing resources such as design rooms and supplier portfolios can help as visual aides to inspire and find ideas for cabinet coordination regarding styles, colors, textures, and more. Aside from function, cabinets can add the perfect look to any space, creating dimension and geometry to an open area.

What is a good paint remover product for wood cabinets?
I painted my wood cabinets with primer and white paint. However, it has turned yellow after a few years. I want to remove the paint and restore it back to its original color. What is the best product to use? How hard would it be restore it? The cabinets were in good condition when I painted them.
This is a very tedious process..you should reconsider trying to strip all the paint. There are tons of paint strippers but after 10+ years in the business I have found that once you decide to paint a natural wood you should make this a perminant decision. Since you have already taken that option off you might reconsider repriming/ repainting the cabinets. They have yellowed because you didnt properly prime the cabinets... You can still fix this by purchasing a stain blocking primer... perferablly oil based (Much better at stopping the yellowing or bleeding of the wood.) The products you choose are very important. If you are insistant on trying to return the wood to the original state, this is impossible but can be redone to look sometimes even better. You should block off several days to strip continously...many coats sometimes, depending on the paints you used. You will also have to resand with various grits of sandpaper to give an even finish. Then you will have to restain...or put a clear coat of a Eurathane- laquer... Gl with this but If I were you ..i would get in the phone book, call several painters and ask them if they 1) give free estimates 2) have experience in refinishing cabinets. You dont have to hire someone but when you get these estimates, you can ask several questions, which you can in turn use for your own benifits

How to Paint Your Kitchen Cabinets
Painting your kitchen cabinets can be done successfully by most homeowners and weekend warriors. All you really need is good information on how to do it correctly and the energy and desire to make it happen. I have been painting kitchen cabinets for many years now and the experience and knowledge I have gained over the years I will share with you in this article. So roll up your sleeves and let's begin your kitchen cabinet makeover.
PREPARATION: The key to a quality job
First, in order to do a real quality job with your cabinets it really is best to remove all the doors and drawers. This will allow you access to areas that would be difficult to reach with the doors and drawers left in place. Once the doors and drawers have been removed from the cabinet frame or boxes as they are sometime called, removed the hardware- hinges and handles. Now is the time to think about replacing them and giving your cabinets a completely new look, however, if your hinges and handles still look great than you're okay.
Try to find or create a good work area to lay out your cabinet doors and drawers. You will need an area to work comfortably in and with as much ventilation as possible. Remember, since you are painting your cabinets and not staining them you don't have to remove the existing finish unless it has failed or in a state of failing. But for the record we will assumed the worst and go from there.
Use a good cleaning solution to remove grease, grime and other oils from the cabinet surfaces. Trisodium phosphate and a host of other degreasers can be purchased at your local hardware store or home improvement center. Thoroughly clean the cabinets inside and out and allow them to dry before proceeding. Once the cabinets are clean and dry begin sanding. This can prove to be a daunting task if you have never done it before, but believe me it is essential to good wood preparation.
Start out by using a coarse grit of sandpaper that will cut and remove failed coatings, then progress to a medium grit and finally to a fine grit. When you reach this point your cabinet surfaces should be very, very smooth to the touch and smooth looking as well. The doors, drawers and cabinet boxes should all feel smooth at this stage.
Blow or vacuum away all dust before proceeding to the next step. Use a tack cloth or a damp towel to ensure total dust removal.
PRIMING
Before you start painting there is one more step that you should do to ensure a quality job that will stand up to all that kitchen cabinets must stand up to: humidity, temperature changes, constant abuse and grease and oily hands! I personally prefer to use an oil base primer to prime kitchen cabinets and I prefer one that will seal and prevent anything from leeching through to create problems for my new finish.
You might prefer to use a latex primer that is more easier to work with and cleans up with soap and water as oppossed to a solvent base primer that requires mineral spirits or paint thinner. But whatever your choice be sure and use a quality primer that is manufactured by an industry leader and not some cheap product that only cost a fraction of what a good product cost.
PAINTING
This really is my favorite part and I get excited about it every time I get an opportunity to paint kitchen cabinets. Now that your cabinets have been properly prepared and ready to receive paint, let's begin the fun stuff. Again, I prefer to use a quality oil base paint on the cabinets that I do and the reasons are: oil paint simply look beautiful in my opinion. It levels out perfectly and gives a rich and elegant look. It is my personal choice, however, sometimes using oil is not an option and it is mandatory that I use a water base paint.
When that is the case I always use a quality acrylic latex enamel that is manufactured by a leading paint company. You can still get a good finished look with latex paint on your cabinets, in fact, some people as well as contractors insist on it. But it is just not my personal choice for reasons I described above.Learn More

When painting kitchen cabinets do you need to paint the inside or just what you would see from the outside?
I know you need to paint both sides of the door, the piece in between the doors..but what about the actual interior of the cabinet..should it be painted?
It is up to you and your "tastes" as to what you wish to paint. It is a great hassle to try and paint the insides for you are at odd angles with the brush in your hand and not able to see that much.
If you live in a place where the bare walls behind the cabinets are the same as the walls around the kitchen, and your wanting to keep the color, then I would paint the "inside walls" the same as the other color you put on all the flat walls around the cabinet. If the cabinets have wooden backs, then I would think no, but that is up to you.
I have seen houses where the "underboard" of the shelving has been painted, which may coincide with a "multi-colored" cabinet scheme.
MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE ALL CABINET DOORS BEFORE PAINTING!! This is so when you paint them the paint will not drip and have stalagtites hanging from the corners. Also make sure you let them thoroughly dry over night so in the morning you can see if they will need to have a second coat applied.
Again, it is up to you and your tastes as to what to decide to do. Hope this helps and Happy Painting!
