The schedule is all dependent on preparation, proper application, and mastery and knowledge of the correct product.

Is painting kitchen cabinets difficult?
Painting kitchen cabinets is an overwhelming endeavor with high risk. To the inexperienced do-it-yourselfer, what was hoped to be a shortcut can turn into irreparable damage to good-quality cabinets. Painting kitchen cabinets requires a deep understanding of the necessary products. A high-quality spray gun is the only way to achieve a professional finish. Anything done by brush will create an uneven appearance with brush marks. Proper masking of the surrounding environment and preparation of the cabinet surface is a must. Mistakes and errors will be noticeable and cause a lot of additional time to correct.

How many coats of paint should you put on cabinets?
Painters typically spray two to three coats of paint primer, three coats of paint, and then a heavy amount of high-gloss finish at the end.
