I thought painting kitchen cabinets was a huge waste of time
For years I told myself I would just save up for new cabinets instead of painting the old ones. I figured it would look cheap or chip right away. Then my neighbor in Portland did hers last fall and they still look perfect. She used a specific primer called BIN and let each coat dry for a full day. I finally tried it in my own kitchen, spending about $120 on supplies. After three full days of work, the change is crazy. The room feels brand new and I saved thousands. Has anyone else had a project they avoided that turned out way better than they thought?

Ever try a foam roller for a super smooth finish?

Your neighbor is right about BIN primer, it's the key. I put it off for years too, worried it would look bad. The real trick is the prep work. You have to clean them really well with a degreaser, then sand just enough for the primer to grip. Rushing the dry time is what causes most problems. Taking those full days makes all the difference for a finish that lasts.
