The Kitchen Cabinet Spraying Process at RS Interiors MK
Professional kitchen cabinet spraying is a multi-stage process. Cutting corners at any stage leads to poor adhesion, visible drips, or early peeling — which is why using experienced decorators in Milton Keynes matters.
Step 1: Initial Survey and Preparation
Before any spraying begins, RS Interiors MK conducts a detailed survey of your kitchen. This includes assessing the condition of cabinet surfaces, identifying any damage that needs repairing, and confirming the colour and finish you’ve chosen.
Step 2: Surface Preparation
All doors and drawer fronts are removed and taken to a dust-free environment for spraying. Frames and carcasses that remain in place are thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and sanded to ensure proper adhesion. Any holes, chips, or imperfections are filled at this stage.
Step 3: Priming
A specialist adhesion primer is applied to ensure the topcoat bonds correctly to the substrate — whether that’s MDF, solid wood, laminate, or vinyl wrap. Priming also seals the surface and prevents tannin bleed or staining showing through.
Step 4: Spraying
Using HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray equipment, our team applies multiple thin coats of two-pack acrylic lacquer. This achieves a finish that is smooth, even, and free from brush marks or roller texture. Each coat is allowed to cure fully before the next is applied.
Step 5: Reassembly and Final Inspection
Once the sprayed components are fully cured, all doors and hardware are refitted. RS Interiors MK carries out a final inspection under controlled lighting to ensure every surface meets our quality standard before the kitchen is handed back to you.
Choosing the Right Finish for Your Kitchen Cabinets
|
Finish Type |
Best For / Characteristics |
|
Satin (30–40% sheen) |
Most popular choice – subtle sheen, easy to clean, hides minor imperfections |
|
Matt / Flat |
Contemporary Shaker kitchens – fashionable but shows fingerprints more easily |
|
Gloss (70–80% sheen) |
Modern handleless kitchens – reflective, easy to wipe, shows surface detail |
|
Eggshell |
Period homes or hand-painted look – soft appearance with practical durability |
Can You Respray Kitchen Cabinet Doors in Any Colour?
Yes — one of the greatest advantages of professional kitchen cabinet spraying is complete colour freedom. RS Interiors MK can match any RAL colour, any Farrow & Ball shade, or any colour you specify from a paint card. Whether you’re drawn to Farrow & Ball’s Mole’s Breath, a bold navy blue, or a bespoke sage green, our spray system can achieve it with precision and consistency across every door.
