Yes you can paint it. I would consult your local paint store as to which paint to use...oil or latex. As for the sheen, flat, satin...it really depends on what you like. In my business, I use a dull/flat on my cabinets.
In order to achieve the desired finish, I would recommend using a material like mineral spirits or methyl hydrate on a rag..depending on the paint used, to rub of the finish instead of sanding. Hope that helps. Geoff Marks YOUnique Designs Custom Cabinetry www.youniquedesigns.com http://s280.photobucket.com/albums/kk164/YouniqueDesigns/Kitchens/ |
