Cabinet Hinges Black Questions
What type of paint finish should I use for kitchen cabinets?
I’m painting my kitchen cabinets white. I need to use an oil base paint because I’m covering varnish.
So, do I need to use Enamel paint or Acrylic?
Also, should I put on a Flat, Satin, Semi-Gloss, or High Gloss finish?
And why do you recommend that combination?
BTW. the counter top will be a black granite and the hinges are a black iron look.
Thank you very much for you help.
I would really consider buying new cabinet doors.
It is really poor painting practice to paint over varnish. Paint does not get a really good grip on varnish and also it is rigid and the top coat chips easily from it. So as a professional decorator I simply don’t do it full stop. If you insist, then at least abrade the entire surface of the varnish with a P120 grade or finer paper. This keys the surface to give the new paint something to grip on to. Dust down but do not wash the abraded surface as you awant those scratches sharp and not rounded off.
Normal primers which rely upon soaking into bare wood do not work well on varnished wood because they lay on the top. Therefore, you need to use a special primer like Bullseye 1-2-3, a water-based product you’ll get from a proper decorators merchants. These primers claim to glue themselves to the surface – however it is still an undeal compromise. Bullseye 1-2-3 is an easy paint to work with. Leave it to cure overnight before applying oil-based paints afterwards.
After you have abraded and primed, I personally would apply one undercoat and two satin finish coats. Dulux satinwood is a very nice paint to work with. And yes you can use oil-based paints over cured water-based ones.
Use a brush and a 4 inch foam roller (foam is not really for oil-based paints,but it works well for thinner coats). If you were slapping a job out and the finish didn’t matter then you would apply paint at a normal thickness, perhaps a little heavy. If you want a better finish, then you have to stretch the paint out with a roller – the thinner coats are flatter. Hence you cannot skimp on coats and may need to do more.
Hinges – So Many Finishes To Choose From
Until now, you may have thought the options for hinge finishes were black, brass or silver. You haven’t even scratched the surface of the kinds of hinges that are available to put on the doors and cabinets in your home.
Whether you know it or not, the making of hinges has a long history that varies in design, color and finish as much as clothing and furniture. You may be amazed to see the kinds of hinges that are really available if you do a little looking.
Let’s start with the pros and cons of what you know
Brass Hinges
These are those brassy colored hinges that you most commonly see. But did you know there are two kinds of brass hinges that you will find at most hardware stores? There are hinges that are completely made of brass, and others that are brass plated. The major difference between them is strength. Brass is a relatively soft metal, so a hinge made of all brass is going to be a little weaker than a hinge made of stronger metal. Brass plated hinges are usually steel hinges underneath that have the look of brass, but still retain the steel strength. Also keep in mind brass and saltwater don’t mix, so if you’re near a beach, you may want to avoid it.
Iron Hinges
When you think of strong black hinges, these are iron. Wrought iron is a metal that is heated and bent into shape, and will then retain that shape. Wrought iron hinges are very strong pieces that can handle a door of any size and weight, and will hold up to a lot of pressure.
Simple Steel Hinges
Many of those silver hinges you see out there are steel hinges. They are meant to do a job, at a lower price. Steel is a strong metal, but will only stand up to the weather for so long before it starts to corrode.
Other Hinges To Consider
Bronze Hinges
Much like brass, bronze hinges can be solid bronze or bronze plated. Unlike brass, the properties of these two hinges are the opposite. Bronze is a very strong metal, so solid bronze hinges will hold up to nearly anything you put them through. On the other side of the coin, the bronze coated hinges are weaker than the real thing, and also cannot withstand the elements, as pure bronze can.
Chrome Hinges
Looking for something a little flashier in your hinges, chrome is the way to go. These hinges have been given a chrome finish to make them shine and sparkle from a distance. They will put up with the weather, inside or out, and go perfectly well with a modern and contemporary home design.
Galvanized Steel Hinges
Instead of those plain simple steel hinges, you should look into galvanized steel hinges if you want a set of hinges that are going to last year after year. Galvanized steel is steel that has been treated and coated in a way where it will be as strong as regular steel, but also weatherproof.
