View Full Version : Wood and Laminate Cabinets

We have dark kitchen cabinets which are part stained wood and part laminate. What is the best way to paint them? I've read in this forum that Cabinet Rescue Melamine works great over the laminate without priming. What about the wood? The frames are wood but the cabinet boxes and inside panels are all laminated. Do I need two processes? The more I read the more confusing it gets. We sure would like to avoid 6 months of sanding and painting but our first priority is a quality process. Please help. ~Thanks

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with cabinet rescue melamine.

The only way I know of to get a job that will stay there is to scuff sand, prime, and paint...maybe another reader has better information.
