The Kitchen Cupboard Paint is specially formulated to provide a durable and beautiful luxury satin smooth finish and engineered for your busy kitchen environment where genuine hard-wear and food spills are inevitable. Once fully cured - normally 14 days from final topcoat in most conditions - you will be able to wipe the paint with a damp cloth and lift off grease and spills without affecting the paint finish. Finishing tables and work surfaces with Kitchen Cupboard Paint is possible with the correct preparation and paint application; however, as with any surface taking care to protect the finish against very hot or sharp objects is common sense. The Kitchen Cupboard Paint is also absolutely suitable for your utility areas, hallway and if you have a busy farmhouse style boot room where the dog sleeps too, this is your perfect panel paint.

Our sample paint set will provide enough paint to refinish 1.3m² More than enough to re paint a standard 60cm base cupboard door. Order your sample set from our Paint Shop.

Subject to a test patch being successful, yes you can. There are only a few surfaces that Kitchen Cupboard Paint high build primer and top coat will not stick to in a sufficiently durable way; high gloss Nitrocellulose or Polyurethane surfaces such as a Les Paul guitar or French Polished items. Check out the test patch process here.

Yes, this is a very durable paint for any place inside your home, so boot-rooms, wall boarding, bath panels and vanity units can also be painted with Kitchen Cupboard Paint.

No. The Kitchen Cupboard Paint High Build Primer provides the perfect durable and flexible foundation for further applications of Kitchen Cupboard Paints top coats. It ensures adhesion to the base surface and subsequent binding of the Kitchen Cupboard Paint topcoat to the primer for a unique long-lasting and durable finish. Other primers will not give the durability that kitchen cupboards require. Order your High Build Primer here.

Kitchen Cupboard Paint is measured using the traditional manual by weight measurement. Darker, more vibrant colours have more pigment, which is denser than pale colours. All our colours are available in 100ml sample tins and 5kg weight cans. These two sizes represent 100g and 5 litres, respectively, of liquid content.

The water-based Kitchen Cupboard Paint can be used on interior wood, MDF and vinyl wrapped doors and trims. We advise to always do a test patch first. And you can order 100ml primer and top coat tins for this purpose. Here is a handy how-to guide to test patching here.

To extend the service life of the Kitchen Cupboard Paint finish, any standing surface water and spilt liquids should not be allowed to pool on surfaces. Spills should be wiped off as soon as possible. Check our Product Advice Sheets for all the technical details you will need.

Yes. Kitchen Cupboard Paint has the necessary certifications including the European norm UNI EN 71.3 of 2002 that excludes heavy metals from every formulation making them suitable and safe for wooden toys and close contact with children.

Taking time to consider whether you are choosing the right paint for the job and that whatever claims associated with the product, especially regarding the impact on the environment, are accurate and can be justified, is a responsibility every person should embrace. There are several key contributors to the environmental footprint of household paint – the extraction/production of the raw materials, the cost of transporting paint from factory to retail outlet or direct to your home, and how long the painted surface will last until it needs repainting, i.e. how durable the paint film is. This last characteristic is the prime purpose of Kitchen Cupboard Paint; a durable longer-lasting paint is better for the environment, full stop. Kitchen Cupboard Paint has very low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions and 95% of toxic solvent emissions eliminated, making the Kitchen Cupboard Paint products for wood decoration and protection, completely non-toxic. Our paint is produced in plants powered with hydroelectric, wind, solar and biomass energy, ultimately aiming to reduce the polluting impact of the paint process system and to preserve and protect the environment. At the Kitchen Cupboard Paint office we have a 4R Environmental Policy of Reuse, Recycle, Relocate, Renovate with all our projects. We select our production partners and suppliers to ensure we meet our exacting standards of care for Our Environment and only print what is entirely necessary, buy what we need precisely and produce products with minimal waste and no maintenance wherever possible. To that end, we pack our Kitchen Cupboard Paints in metal tins that are always recyclable. We seal your order in a compulsory plastic dispatch bag made of biodegradable plastic, (a degradable plastic in which the degradation results from the action of naturally occurring microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and or algae). We pad out each carton with shredded paper and pack each order into a simple cardboard box, unprinted, as print involves extra energy, printing inks, solvents and other associated environmental nasties. You can recycle all of our packing with ease.

Ok, I’m now going to get technical about Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content in paint. VOC is a general term referring to any organic substance with an initial boiling point of less than or equal to 250 degrees Centigrade (EU definition) that can be released from the paint into the air, causing atmospheric pollution. VOCs are volatile organic compounds that can be naturally occurring (such as ethanol), or they can be synthesised chemically. The VOC content in water-based paints may be a very small amount of solvent or trace levels of additive in the paint that are needed to enhance its performance – for example, to help the paint flow out and give an even surface. Paint is made up of several components. Some of these may be of natural origins such as minerals, chalk, clays or natural oils, other ingredients such as binders, pigments and additives are more often synthetically-derived from different industrial chemical processes. All these components need to undergo some degree of washing, refinement, processing or chemical treatment, so they can be successfully used to make paint. These production steps necessitate the use of different process aids, including substances classed as VOCs. Although every effort is made to remove these VOCs through drying and purifying, there will still be trace amounts in the finished raw materials that are used to make the paint and the tinting pastes that need to be used. Therefore, there is no such thing as a truly 100% VOC-free or Zero VOC paint, as all paints will contain very small (trace) amounts of VOCs through their raw materials. Kitchen Cupboard Paint has minimal VOC’s Primer maximum 2.83% Topcoat maximum 1.79% The paint industry, along with 26 other piloted sectors, is currently working with the European Commission on a project to determine the overall environmental impact of consumer products, from the start of their production to the end of their lifetime (so-called cradle-to-grave approach). Focusing in on sustainability and measuring environmental impacts, not just in terms of VOCs causing air pollution but also in terms of water usage, ozone depletion, toxicity to soil and water, and a host of other parameters. This pilot project, called the Product Environmental Footprinting or PEF project, is due to be completed in 2020 and should lead to a better way to inform, probably through a new simple labelling system and possibly supported by legislation.

Use our handy calculator to check how much paint you need by entering your dimensions into the different sections for below work top cupboards, wall and tall cupboards.

An average single cupboard door front is a 60cm base unit – the same as for a full-size dishwasher or washing machine width. To repaint an average cupboard door of this size including the four edges front and reverse with two coats of paint equals a cover size of 0.95m² Our Sample 100ml can has enough paint in to paint an average 60cm door and you can order yours from each of our paint colour pages here

Regardless of the type of cupboard construction, you have already; there are only a few dimensions that need adding up to work out what quantity of paint you need to repaint your kitchen cupboards. There is no such thing as an average kitchen size so you do need to work out the square metre area that you need to paint, just like you would for wall paint. Measure each facing surface area for each cupboard along the cabinet frontals and if the run of cupboards ends with a panel back going to the wall, add those panel lengths on to your total width. In the example above: The Base Cupboard lengths are 3.4 m. Add 70 cm for the right-hand side end panel; 4.1 m x 0.87 m tall = 3.56 m² The Tall Larder is 1.20 m long. Add the 60 cm side panel to the right-hand side; 1.8 m length x 2.0 m tall = 3.6 m² The Wall Cupboard lengths equal 2.8 m. Add 2.1 m for the six wall end panels; 4.9 m length x .98 m tall wall units = 4.8 m² The three open shelves are 28 cm deep and 110 cm long 1.1 m length x 0.28 m deep = 0.41 m² A complete total of 12.37 m² to paint Double your total area to allow for painting two coats = 24.74m² Divide this by the Kitchen Cupboard Paint coverage per square meter average: 24.74 ÷ 13 = 1.9 litres of paint required

It is a 15% sheen which provides a slight light reflection and satin effect without making underlying nicks or bumps beneath the paint noticeable. A higher sheen level would be less forgiving and would show lumps, bumps and uneven application. An average Modern Eggshell paint will have a shiny 40% sheen.

No, it is a very smooth 15% sheen satin finish that does not need to be waxed after application like soft chalk paint. The Kitchen Cupboard Paint is technologically engineered for easy, smooth application by brush or roller and has a speedy drying time and smooth satin finish after laying off.

Yes. You can order a 100ml Sample Tin of our High Build Primer in White or Grey. Great to do a basic primer test with.

The Kitchen Cupboard Paint colours are unique. In each Kitchen Cupboard Paint colour choice you will find a similar paint colour by another brand. The Kitchen Cupboard paint has a unique colour and so this similar colour is just the closest we could find, but will not match.

No. Our paint is only availavle through ourselves.

That's the plan! Our production technique allows for industry standard Lab delta E < 0.25% matching of our paint batches meaning it would be hard for the human eye to see any differencein colour.

There are only a few surfaces that Kitchen Cupboard Paint high build primer and topcoat will not stick to in a sufficiently durable way; high gloss Nitrocellulose or Polyurethane surfaces such as a Les Paul guitar or French Polished items. If you are painting onto previously waxed or highly polished surfaces, remove all the existing coating of treatment by sanding back before painting. Our Product Advice Sheets will help you understand the process.

Do not shake the Kitchen Cupboard Paint tins before opening, instead use a paint stirrer to mix each paint tin thoroughly before you start applying. Note, on opening the 1litre tins – take care when pulling open and peeling around the flexible plastic seal. It takes some force and could spill or flick paint as you open it. Look at our Product Advice Sheets for more details.

The recommended Number of Coats is one or two. In many instances 1 coat well applied has been sufficient but often darker/stronger colours require additional coats. We calculate to allow for 2 coats as we do not know what you are painting on top off.

The normal Handling Time is 2 hours and Typical recoat time is 4 hours. Please note: These drying and Recoat times provided are based on applying paint in normal conditions - drying times may be longer in colder and higher humidity environments. Darker colours may take longer to dry.

We advise you to get more paint than you will need exactly to allow for different surface preparation, application methods and rates. It’s still a good idea to have some spare paint for emergencies but you may not wish to keep left over paint. If you have some left over paint, provided it is less than a year old, why not consider donating them to a needy cause such as a local club or school. Check out the Community Repaint Scheme https://communityrepaint.org.uk/i-have-leftover-paint/give-leftover-paint-new-life/ Local household recycling sites have varying rules regarding paint disposal, do check in advance of any visit. Kitchen Cupboard Paint comes in tins which are 100% recyclable and the sealing lids of the 1 litre cans are made from HDPE (high density polyethylene) which can be recycled too.

Remove the handles and doorknobs when you are painting kitchen cupboard doors. Removing doors from integrated appliances is slightly more complicated and may need specialist assistance. It is possible to paint an integrated door in situ by masking the appliance edges carefully before you start. Removing all the kitchen cupboard doors & drawers for painting requires plenty of clear space for laying out all items for the painting and also the drying time for each coat. If you do remove all your basic kitchen cupboard doors to paint them, draw a rough picture or your kitchen and number each part on it – take photos with your phone and print it out to write on if it’s easier. Individually number each door/drawer in sequence to your picture by writing on the reverse side and covering with a bit of masking tape alternatively write the door number in the hinge hole/space. Place the numbered door/drawer’s hinges and screws in the same numbered snappy bag to keep them safe. This system makes putting it all back together to finish up much straightforward. Counterintuitively, leaving the doors on the cupboard while repainting means you can have the door supported and open to dry as you paint. Take a look at our Product Advice Sheets for more details.

Yes, you can. We provide Product Advice Sheets to give you a guide to Kitchen Cupboard Paint application.
