What a lovely kitchen and because it has a classic Shaker style profile it will work beautifully as per the picture you posted. To Have the cabinets painted professionally will be expensive, you could speak to a car sprayer to see what they would charge to spray paint any removable doors and panels with a low sheen paint, not car paint.

. you would need to do all the prep work and paint the cabinets. Or you could hang the doors etc on a clothes line and spray them yourself, my sister inlaw did this very successfully .

Spraying will give a better finish than what a roller will do, if you are planning on doing it, hire a spray painting machine and practice to get the consistency right you don't want the paint running off the panels look forward to seeing your new kitchen.

I like the look of your kitchen, very nice.

In my experience I have found something done in the factory typically will give a better finish. You can nominate the level of gloss to keep the shine down!

Good luck.

I would suggest that engaging a professional painter to do the whole kitchen will give the best results. The problem with removing all of the doors and drawers and getting them sprayed in a factory is that not all of the elements, such as end panels, kick rails, filler pieces, fixed shelving can be easily removed. They still need to be painted so they match the doors and drawers, but if you use a different process for the fixed items then you will get an inconsistant look.

As with all painting good preparation is the key so I would engage a professional to prepare and paint. As it is a fiddly job that needs time and patience for teh best result it won't be cheap, but as your kitchen will be out of action for the duration then you want to have it completed in a time-effective and professiopnal manner.

Best of luck,

It's important that the same paint would be sprayed on by a Professional on their premises and what you use in the kitchen on the rest of the cabinetry, you don't need to remove fillers etc they can be done insitu, It will take time to prepare and paint the remaining kitchen.

I would prefer taking the doors away to be painted and then proceed to work on the kitchen one section at a time, and taking your time to do it right while still being able to use the kitchen.

My sister inlaw did this with a brilliant outcome.

A friend who's kitchen was approx 50% of yours was quoted $15,000 to be professionally painted, the profile was similar to yours, she decided not to proceed as it would be better value to have a new kitchen

Your Kitchen is absolutely gorgeous, but it is recommended to get a professional painter to come out to do the work. Hiring a kitchen company is another more costly alternative but hire a painter via word of mouth and make sure they have their insurances ect.. When you take it into a factory you just need the paint colour and code and let them know whether you want gloss, satin or matt. Factory spraying takes up to 10 days roughly from start to finish. Each company has its differing process but they usually will strip the door back and then repaint. The colour you choose is what you will receive and any change of mind after completion will fall back on you. They may offer pick up but you will have to take down the doors ect... Not every painting company will deal direct to the public.

Best of luck and hope we get to see the new colour combo once you have completed your reno.
