Painting & Wallpapering - primer for cupboards


Expert: Rebecca Bushner - 5/6/2009

Question
My cupboards have a veneer on them what is the best primer to use before I paint them

Answer
Dear Linda
I assume the veneer is wood, so treat them like a regular wood cabinet only sand LIGHTLY so you do not sand through it. Prime and paint with a product appropriate for wood: whether oil or acrylic latex depending on preference. I recommend you go to your favorite premium paint store for information on the exact primer and paint you need.
Good luck with your project!
