Cupboard painting questions
Quote from workerbee on April 14, 2021, 11:55 amMy wife has this fantastic idea for one of our "flip homes". She wants to take all the kitchen cupboards down and repaint them. She has already picked out the color (off white/gray tint). Would you take them off the wall or try to do it while they were still attached? They need sanding too. My fear is once we take them down, it will be a struggle getting them back up (level or not damaged).

However, if you're also sanding the cabinets, then yeah, I think your wife is correct. You'll get a better finish anyway and sanding will make a huge mess if you do it inside.
