  2. Use masking tape to protect any surfaces you don't want paint on
  3. Apply primer and then two coats of color
  4. Let dry for at least 24 hours before removing tape or moving furniture back into place
  5. Remove old hardware with an electric drill and replace it with new hardware that matches your kitchen's design
  6. Replace cabinet doors if they are not in good condition (or just change the color) so you can get rid of all those pesky fingerprints.
