Quick cuisine update: how to repaint facades with your own hands

We tell what paint it is better to choose how to prepare the basis and update the facades using a roller with a brush or a spray gun and a paint from the canister.

Before repainting the kitchen facades with their own hands, you need to choose a composition well adapted to high temperatures and constant humidity. If the coating can not rub, and when contacting with detergents, it comes in disrepair, it is better to choose another finish. When cooking steam containing fat, settles on the surface. To remove it, it will take wet cleaning using chemicals. The doors and boxes of the furniture headset must have high resistance to mechanical loads - friction, shocks. One of the important properties is the impermeability of the layer protecting the base - plastic, an array, chipboard or MDF. Under the influence of constant dampness, the material will start grew and collapse. Pre-training and finishing coating can be carried out at home. This does not need special skills and professional equipment.

What to take into account when selecting

• The durability of material for dampness - splashes and steam can destroy even a very strong base if its internal voids are open. The structure is destroyed when water absorbing water, the coating expands and cracks. During drying, the fibers and pores are compressed, creating deformations leading to the separation of the finish.
• Resistance to high temperature is the proximity of the cooking panel, oven, other equipment causes the deformations of the upper layer and the base. Polymer particles poorly withstand heat and start melting at temperatures up to 100 degrees. Just enough hot water to bring them unusable.
• Resistance to aggressive media - detergents, powders, acetic acid and substances containing alcohol, react with many materials, eating them and leaving traces on them.
• Strength - Wet premises are used more actively than residential rooms. Doors and boxes are rapidly wear out. The coating is erased or gets mechanical damage - dents, chips, scratches. It must have high wear resistance.
• Adhesion - Composition is often selected depending on whether it is possible to repaint the glossy facades of the kitchen. Than they are smoother, the better shine, and the weaker the relief is expressed, for which enamel can "catch". Wood-chip panels in contrast to the array do not have open pores and natural irregularities. They are not able to absorb the solution. As a result, he quickly flashes.
• Ecology is not allowed to use solvents and additives that are harmful to health. They should not distinguish harmful substances not only in normal conditions, but also with high humidity and temperature above room.
• Resistance to ultraviolet rays. Low quality products quickly burn out in the sun.

Types of compositions

• Acrylic - they quickly erase, destroyed under the influence of vinegar, acids contained in products. Acrylic solutions poorly tolerate dampness and heat. With gentle handling, they will serve for a long time if there is no washing and plates nearby. Possess a wide palette. Non-toxic. Aerosols and mixes for bringing brushes and roller are available.
• Oil, alkyd enamel - they are toxic and are not intended for the premises where food is preparing. Oliflates and varnish create an unpleasant smell at room temperature. They are fire hazard. Their operational qualities are worse than the analogues. They hold well, dry long.
• Water-emulsion - easily wash off with water.
• Automal - well suited for raw rooms with permanent temperature and humidity differences. It does not fade and well opposes loads. The aerosol strengthens the structure and protects it from destruction, making the surface more elastic. Available only in the cans. Colors can be mixed, getting new shades.

For processing all sections, including problem areas, only auto-email are well suited. Acrylic cannot be used near washing and plates. But if you need to handle parts of the headset, which are in a safe environment, it is better to use a canister.

Methods of laying solutions

There are only two methods - manual and mechanical. In the first case, roller and brush are used, in the second - a sprayer or a canister.

It is more convenient to repaint furniture by mechanical way. The aerosol lies better and leaves the divorces. No need to spend time in search of solvents and the necessary proportions when cooking.

Surface preparation

Tools and consumables

• Malyary Scotch.
• Film or newspaper.
• Grinding machine or emery sheets with different graininess.
• Alcohol solvent, removing fat spots.
• Putty or other material that can close cracks and chips.
• Putty knife.
• Construction hairdryer. If there is no construction, the usual is suitable.

Grinding and sealing cracks

To repaint kitchen facades with your own hands, doors and front panels must be removed from the case. On the canvas should not be decorative inserts, glasses, pens and locks. They can be closed with painting scotch. Work more convenient on the table. It is littered with a newspaper or polyethylene film. You can put a piece of organity so as not to leave damage on the tabletop. Windows should be opened - there will be unpleasant odors and a lot of dust.

The old varnish is considered a rough emery, then the remnants are removed small - it causes less damage to the base. Often use liquid to remove varnish. If the front panel is covered with a polymer film, it is moved by a construction hairdryer. With MDF, it goes worse than with chipboard. The base can be damaged. Formed irregularities need to sand or sharpen. The ground surface is cleaned from dust with a brush, then a damp cloth. If you rub a wet rag with a dust, dust will fill emptiness, and it will be difficult to remove it from there. Fat stains are removed with alcohol.

Cracks close up by the usual putty. It is more convenient to use ready-made mixtures divorced in water. They will dry for several hours, after which you can start up to the next stage. Panels and doors should be perfectly aligned. Even a minor error will be noticeable after painting.

An array and chipboard are impregnated with antiseptics that prevent the appearance of bacteria.

There are primers on wood and MDF based on an organic solvent. They are not suitable for plastic - they need special mixes that are unsuitable for wood. They cover not only plastic, but also metal, putty.

If an acrylic composition is planned, a special acrylic primer increases adhesion is selected for it. The solution is applied by manual and mechanically and give it to dry. So that he impregnate the base and completely grabbed, the day will be required.

How to repaint kitchen facades with brush and roller

When choosing a tool should be done on it. If the palms remain in the palm, they will stick to the surface of the panel. The foam roller is suitable. The paint container must be flat. It is better to take a special rectangular plastic tray.

The roller passes the main area, brush - only hard-to-reach places. Tools need to be washing with soap or other means. The door or panel laid horizontally either with a slight inclination. If the workpiece put vertically, the drops will be slid down, creating lower.

The solvent in acrylic compositions is water, but it is better to work in protective glasses. If you get into the eye, the drops will not cause burns, but little pleasant in such contact.

Paint is applied in two stages:

• Thick strokes are laid on a small area and rub in zigzag movements.
• The next layer is applied evenly along the fibers. If you repaint wooden facades or under a tree, thickness and consistency depends on whether it is necessary to show the pattern of natural wood fibers. The coating can be made translucent by simply adding water. If you need to fully close the area, the thickness increase.

The roller needs to move smoothly from the edge to the edge. It is impossible to turn it - the remaining track will have to shine long. The foam rubber does not need to soak too much so that there are no ilk. The layers are placed perpendicular to each other. With a large thickness, the lower dried, then continue to work.

How to use an aerosol cylinder and spray gun

Before repainting the facades of the kitchen, we remove upholstered furniture and things from the room - they can be sprinkled. What can not be removed is closed with polyethylene film or paper.

Acrylic mixtures are diluted with water according to the instructions on the package. They must be more liquid than when using the manual method.

After

Before

The covered area depends on the sprayer position. The larger the distance to the door, the weaker the concentration of the flow. As a rule, the balloon is brought by 20 cm. It needs to be constantly moving - otherwise it will appear due to too much application thickness.

Each previous layer must dry and harden. Drying time is indicated in the instructions on the packaging.

How to protect the surface from moisture and mechanical damage

As a finishing coating, a matte or glossy aerosol acrylic varnish is used. It is placed under the manual and aerosol method of application.

There is a special wax for a natural array. It happens transparent and dark. Transparent does not change the color, but creates a special feeling of a shaded tree. The coating goes well on a matte acrylic varnish. Dark wax rubbed the entire area, changing her color, or separate areas, creating the effect of antiquity.

How to artificially form a surface headset

What do you need

• High-quality roller, not leaving a vice. Suitable tool with medium pile length or foam.
• Brushes are wide and narrow.
• Slices of foam rubber.
• Spray can.

The layers are applied to the grinded primed base at intervals to give the composition to thicken.

Methods of artificial actions

• After the final drying of the coating, it is worn by small emery paper in those places that wear faster. Process the angles, knobs, other protruding parts. The main thing is to stop and remove the wood under the primer. Work is better in matte paint. Glossy will look unnatural.
• Apply an artificial patina. A tree with time darkens in recesses and in areas to which the hand is rarely touched. It is possible to achieve this effect by covering the material by the veneer and creating scuffs using emery paper.
• The effect of aging is created, rubbing the dark wax sash and the panel where they touch them especially often.
• The appealing old finish imitates erased the upper "new" layer, followed by the "old". First, one color is placed, which should come through the finish, then the second one that is slightly erased. The bottom is applied only where he sticks out. It makes no sense to cover them the whole area. Upper after the bottom drying is laid by light movements of the brush, barely touching the surface. When he grabbed, the petty emery is allowed. This method allows you to create the illusion that under the finish is not one, but several mess.
