Transform Your Kitchen Without Replacing Your Cabinets
If your existing cabinets are structurally sound, replacing them may not be necessary to achieve a completely different look.
Professional cabinet painting allows you to change the color and appearance of your cabinetry while keeping the existing doors, drawers, and cabinet boxes. But the quality of the finished result depends on much more than the paint itself.
The real difference is the refinishing process behind it.
At SN Star Painting, cabinet painting begins with careful preparation of the existing surface, followed by the appropriate primer and a professionally applied finish. Each step is designed to promote proper adhesion, create a smooth appearance, and provide a finish suitable for the daily use cabinetry receives.
Whether you're updating stained wood cabinets, changing an outdated color, or giving your kitchen a completely new style, professional refinishing can deliver a dramatic transformation without the disruption of a full cabinet replacement.
Our Cabinet Painting Process in Austin, TX
A professional cabinet finish starts long before the first finish coat is applied.
Cabinet painting is a refinishing process, and every stage—from cleaning and surface preparation to priming and final application—plays a role in the appearance and durability of the finished cabinetry.
01
Project Evaluation & Setup
We evaluate the existing cabinetry, substrate, previous finish, and overall condition before determining the appropriate preparation and coating system for the project.
02
Doors & Drawer Fronts Removed
Doors and drawer fronts are carefully removed and organized so they can be prepared and finished individually while the cabinet boxes and face frames are refinished on site.
03
Cleaning & Surface Preparation
Cabinet surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and prepared to remove contaminants and create the proper surface profile for the coating system. Sanding and additional preparation are performed as required by the existing finish and substrate.
04
Professional Priming
The appropriate primer is selected based on the cabinet material and existing finish. Proper priming helps promote adhesion, isolate the previous surface when necessary, and establish the foundation for the finish coats.
05
Spray-Applied Finish
Doors and drawer fronts receive a professionally spray-applied cabinet finish designed to produce a smooth, consistent appearance. Cabinet boxes, face frames, panels, and other components are finished according to the requirements of the project.
06
Reassembly & Final Inspection
Once the coating system has reached the appropriate stage, doors and drawer fronts are reinstalled, components are adjusted as needed, and the completed cabinetry receives a final inspection.

Cabinet Painting FAQs
How long does the typical cabinet painting process take?
Most cabinet refinishing projects take approximately 4–6 days, depending on the size of the kitchen, cabinet condition, preparation requirements, and the coating system selected. Before work begins, we evaluate the project and provide a more specific timeline based on the cabinetry.
Do I need to empty my kitchen cabinets for refinishing?
In most cases, you do not need to completely empty the cabinet boxes because the interiors are typically not painted. However, we recommend removing items near the front edges and clearing countertops and work areas before the project begins. If your project requires additional access, we’ll discuss that with you beforehand.
What coating system do you use for a professional finish?
There is no single coating system that is right for every cabinet project. We evaluate the cabinet material, existing finish, surface condition, and desired result before selecting the appropriate primer and professional cabinet coating system. This allows the refinishing process to be tailored to the actual cabinetry rather than applying the same products to every project.
Can you paint cabinets that have been previously stained or painted?
Yes. Many of the cabinets we refinish have an existing stained, clear-coated, or painted finish. The existing surface is evaluated first so the appropriate cleaning, preparation, priming, and coating process can be determined. Proper preparation is especially important when applying a new finish over an existing one.
