STEP 1: PREPARE YOUR WORK AREA

This includes gathering all the necessary materials needed for this project. Then use your drill or screwdriver to remove the existing hardware from the doors and drawer fronts.  If you plan on reusing your hardware, place it in a plastic bag inside the corresponding cabinet to avoid confusing during re installation.

STEP 2: CLEAN THE CABINETS

Home Depot suggest cleaning your cabinets after removing them. Wipe each one with soap and water and use a de-greaser on the ones that might need it. Once the cabinets are clean you’ll need to sand them down, then wipe with a cloth to create a smooth clean surface for the primer and paint.
