I'm planning a series of DIY home improvement projects for my 1950s ranch house, starting with a kitchen refresh that involves painting the existing cabinets and replacing the hardware, but I'm unsure about the best type of paint and primer for laminate surfaces. I'm aiming for a durable, professional-looking finish without the cost of a full remodel. For fellow DIYers, what specific products and techniques have you found most successful for cabinet painting, and what are the common pitfalls to avoid, especially regarding sanding and achieving a smooth top coat?
