    Hello Carolyn!

    That Is a great question. Thoroughly sand all of your cabinet surfaces, whether it be wood, laminate, vinyl, or a painted surface. You do not have to remove your existing finish, just sand with a #300 grit sandpaper until all of your surfaces are deglossed. If you have wood cabinets then follow your wood’s grain with your sanding motions and avoid sanding in a circular fashion. If you have an electric palm sander then follow your woods grain as well.

    Be sure to sand extra well around your door handles and stove because of the potential oils and dirt located in these areas.

    For applications on an existing high gloss finish, it is optimal to apply a liquid deglosser to your finish first and then use the #300 grit sandpaper to lightly scuff up the surface.

    When you are done sanding, wipe up all of the sanding dust with a standard window cleaner since the alcohol and ammonia won’t leave a residue. Clean well with Tri-Sodium Phosphate (TSP cleaner or a degreaser) around the handles and places where you often touch the wood, as the oils from our hands get onto the surface and will keep the paint from adhering. Pay extra attention to the area above and around the stove where oil and grease accumulates. You may need to clean a few times depending on how much the grease has settled. After cleaning, wipe up with water or Windex® to remove any TSP or degreaser residue. This may need to be done a few times.

    **Note: Cracking may occur if you do not clean your cabinets well enough.**

    Here's some additional items you may need to complete the full project:

    - TSP substitute

    - De-glosser (if you have slick or glossy cabinets)

    - Small tipped artist brush (for tight spots)

    - #300 grit sandpaper (for all cabinet types)

    - Wood filler (for deep nicks)

    - FrogTape® painter's tape

    - Roller tray

    - Screwdriver
