26+ Can You Paint Wood Veneer Cabinets UK. My experience is with wooden cabinets, specifically 80's oak cabinets, if yours are melamine, the only difference will be a light sanding to rough up the finish enough to hold your paint and give you a good finish. Paint your kitchen cabinet veneer over a single afternoon for a modern look.
Knobs, handles, hinges and other areas can be masked using painter's tape.
In fact, i recently had a horror story with a professional painter, where if you use the right paint (benjamin moore advance is an excellent waterborne) and have the the tools and take your time, you can have great looking. Heavy sanding can damage delicate veneer surfaces, so you need to strip the paint with paint thinner. Before you can refinish veneer cabinets, you must strip off the old finish. Be sure to get into the cracks and crevices of the cabinet or piece of furniture.
