How To Paint Kitchen Island

Painting your kitchen island is a great way to update the look of your kitchen without having to replace the entire island. It's a relatively easy project that can be completed in a weekend. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to paint your kitchen island:

### Materials you'll need:

- Paint - Primer - Paintbrush or roller - Sandpaper - Tack cloth - Painter's tape

### Steps: 1.

Prepare the island.

Start by removing all of the hardware from the island, including the knobs, handles, and hinges. Then, clean the island with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or grease. 2.

Sand the island.

Lightly sand the island with sandpaper to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to. Be sure to remove all of the dust from the island after sanding. 3.

Apply primer.

Apply a coat of primer to the island. Primer helps to create a barrier between the paint and the wood, and it helps the paint to adhere better. Allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding. 4.

Apply paint.

Once the primer is dry, you can start applying the paint. Use a paintbrush or roller to apply the paint in even strokes. Allow the first coat of paint to dry completely before applying a second coat. 5.

Reattach the hardware.

Once the paint is completely dry, you can reattach the hardware to the island. ### Tips:

- Use a high-quality paint and primer for best results. - If you're painting a dark color over a light color, you may need to apply multiple coats of paint. - Allow each coat of paint to dry completely before applying the next coat. - Use painter's tape to protect the areas of the island that you don't want to paint.
