Rust-Oleum tile paint is specifically designed for refinishing tiles on walls, backsplashes, and other tile surfaces. It is not intended for use on kitchen cupboards or any other type of cabinetry.
When it comes to kitchen cupboards, you'll want to use a paint that is designed specifically for wood or laminate surfaces, depending on the material of your cupboards. There are various types of paint suitable for this purpose, such as latex paint, oil-based paint, or specialty cabinet paints. These paints will adhere better to the cupboard surface and provide a durable finish that can withstand the wear and tear of a kitchen environment.
Before painting your kitchen cupboards, it's essential to properly prepare the surface by cleaning it thoroughly, sanding it to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to, and removing any existing finish or varnish. Additionally, consider using a primer before applying the paint, as it helps improve adhesion and ensures a more even finish.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for the paint you choose, and consider testing the paint on a small, inconspicuous area of the cupboard before proceeding with the full application to ensure you are satisfied with the results.
