Kitchen makeover using Dulux Renovation Range

[Germ323]

Final product

Had a terrible colour old fashioned kitchen.  We called it the clown kitchen.  Painted all cabinets with laminate paint.   Installed new bench top and cooktop.   

Materials

Dulux renovation range primer, paint and sealer on cupboards. Kaboodle bamboo timber bench top.   New handles.   New cooktop.   Silicon sealants.  

Tools

Sanders.   Paint brushes.   Small rollers.   Drills.   Jigsaw.   

Steps

Step 1

Took all cabinets doors off and lightly sanded.   Painted with primer, waited 24hrs and painted with paint.  Another 24hrs and added another coat.  Same again with 2 coats of sealant.   Waited 72 hrs then turned and did the other sides.   Did the same with frame of cabinets in kitchen.   Levered old bench off.   Layed sealant and placed new bench on.   Waited 24 hrs then used jigsaw to cut sink and cooktop hole out.   Installed then sealed around with clear sealant.

Hi. 
yes the cupboards were laminate.   I lightly sanded and then used the kit from Dulux.   A small tip.   I got lengths of timber and put large nails in and balanced the doors on the nails so only got little pinprick marks on them once turned over

I only washed well and sanded very lightly.   Didn’t even sand the frame in the kitchen just cleaned really well
