How I Hand Paint Your Kitchen Doors
Every kitchen door is different, but the same careful approach is followed throughout. Thorough preparation, appropriate priming and careful hand painting are essential to achieving a smooth, durable finish.
01
Preparation
Existing kitchen doors and drawer fronts are carefully prepared, cleaned, degreased and sanded as required to provide the correct surface for painting.
02
Priming
Where required, an appropriate specialist primer is applied to provide a sound foundation and ensure good adhesion.
03
Hand Painting
Two topcoats are carefully applied by hand using high-quality paint in your chosen colour and finish.
04
Final Inspection
Every painted kitchen door and drawer front is carefully inspected before the project is considered complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hand painted kitchen?
A hand painted kitchen involves transforming an existing kitchen primarily by carefully preparing and hand painting its doors and drawer fronts. The result is a fresh, bespoke appearance without replacing the kitchen itself.
What parts of the kitchen do you paint?
James specialises in hand painting existing kitchen doors and drawer fronts. The structural kitchen units and carcasses themselves are not painted or refurbished.
Can my kitchen doors be repainted?
Many kitchen doors can be professionally hand painted, although suitability depends on the material and existing finish. James can assess the doors and advise whether they are suitable.
Do you spray kitchen doors?
No. James Lynn only hand paints kitchen doors. No spraying is used.
What paint do you use on kitchen doors?
James uses high-quality, hard-wearing paints suitable for kitchen doors and chooses the appropriate preparation and coating system for the existing surface. A wide range of colours is available, including shades from popular paint collections such as Farrow & Ball and Little Greene.
How long does hand painting a kitchen take?
Most kitchen door projects take between three and five days depending on the number of doors, the existing finish and the colour chosen. A clear timescale is provided before work begins.
Will the hand-painted finish be durable?
Proper preparation is essential to achieving a durable finish. Kitchen doors and drawer fronts are carefully prepared before appropriate primer and quality finish coats are applied by hand.
Do I need a new kitchen?
Not necessarily. If your existing kitchen units are structurally sound and you are happy with the layout, hand painting the doors and drawer fronts can transform the appearance of the whole kitchen without replacing it. James can advise whether hand painting is a suitable option for your existing kitchen.
Can you hand paint laminate kitchen doors?
Many laminate kitchen doors can be professionally painted after appropriate preparation. Each set of doors is assessed individually to confirm suitability.
Will there be a strong smell?
No. Modern water-based kitchen paints have a very low odour and dry quickly, making them ideal for occupied homes.
Do I need to empty my kitchen?
The kitchen doors being worked on may need to be cleared or made accessible before work begins. James will explain exactly what preparation is required when discussing the project.
Can you hand paint oak kitchen doors?
Yes. Oak and many other timber kitchen doors can be professionally hand painted following the correct preparation process. James will assess the existing finish and advise on suitability.
