I have kitchen cabinets made by St. Charles from the late 60's. These
cabinets are metal painted with a rough finish. The finish is similar to
what Orange Peal on walls would look like. I would like to paint them and want to know if anyone has any information for me or hints on how to do this task.
Thanks.
I would check at a paint store about what to use to sand them with, as you'll need to knock off the texture. Then you'll need a good metal primer. This goes into general cabinet painting, but might help with the various steps. http://www.oldhouseweb.com/how-to-advice/painting-kitchen-cabinets.shtml

You might try appliance paint. We used it to clean up our frig before we put our house on the market. It made the frig look brand new. I got it at Home Depot. Good Luck

I would sand all of the gloss off of the cabinets and then spray them with a Rustoleum primer - followed by 2 or 3 coats of Rustoleum spray paint. Be sure to follow the directions on the can. Rustoleum makes so many colors and finishes, you should not have a problem finding the color you want.

I am wondering if anyone has painted metal cupboards. I have two that need to be painted or replaced. I thought if it isn't too major of a project, I might try it.
