If you're thinking about using the Nuvo Titanium Infusion Cabinet Makeover Kit, you might be wondering if you need to sand your cabinets first. According to the manufacturer, one of the great things about this paint is that it sticks well to surfaces like laminate, wood, and metal, without having to do extensive prep work like stripping or priming.
So, for most people, that cumbersome sanding isn't required.
From what we've gathered, though, doing a quick, light sand isn't a bad idea—especially for really glossy or slick surfaces—as it can help the paint stick better. Just basic prep steps like cleaning your cabinets and a light sand can sometimes make a big difference in how the final result turns out.
The paint is acrylic and designed to be pretty durable, with a nice satin finish that holds up well in kitchens. Plus, the manufacturer says you don’t need an extra sealer or top coat, which makes it even more convenient.
According to others who’ve used the kit, many have had success with just minimal preparation. Some folks did mention that if you have areas with a lot of use or contact, using a top coat can help with durability.
Also, just a heads up—some people noticed the paint color was slightly different from the promotional pictures, so testing it on a small area first to see how it dries might be wise.
In short, if you’re looking to freshen up your cabinets without a ton of work or cost, the Nuvo Cabinet Paint Kit seems like a pretty good option. It's designed for different surfaces and really simplifies the whole painting process.
