Kitchen Units.

We recently had a oak kitchen to repaint, the units were about 25 years old, but still in very good condition structurally, the existing finish looked as though it was a medium to dark oak colour with a lacquer applied over the top, With 25 years of use and periodic washing and cleaning the finish was looking a bit tired, and the owners were looking for a change of colour.

The process was to remove all doors and  to thoroughly wash all surfaces with Krud Kutter original and thoroughly dry, to remove any grease or build up of dirt.


 We then sanded all surfaces with various grades of oxide paper and
sanding pads, any areas that required filling were filled with a Two part filler and sanded smooth , all knots were treated with 2 coats of zinnser BIN. The primer of choice was Zinnser cover stain which was applied to all surfaces followed by a coat of johnstones trade undercoat.



The final coats were little green oil based eggshell with more sanding between coats using various grades of Wet / dry finishing with a 400 grit. All doors and drawers were then replaced and new antique brass knobs fitted to complete the look.
