Oak kitchen cabinets are found in many homes. In addition to its durability and classic appearance, the wood’s distinctive grains add to the kitchen’s aesthetic appeal. But the question is: can oak kitchen cabinets be painted? The quick answer to that is YES.
This blog post will discuss how painted oak kitchen cabinets can be distinguished from other types. It could be challenging for some homeowners to tell which wood is oak and which is not when painted, considering the distinct features of the wood.
Examples of painted oak kitchen cabinets
The process of painting oak kitchen cabinets is complex, as they are characterized by prominent wood grain. Pine, maple, or cherry wood cabinets don’t have this issue. The grain is deeply engraved onto the cabinets’ surfaces.
The grain texture is still noticeable even after painting oak cabinets white. Most homeowners aren’t bothered by this, but it’s still a good idea to prepare the wood grain before painting. Although the process is time-consuming, the final finish will be flawless and worth it.
The process of painting oak kitchen cabinets white
To deal with the wood grain, we mainly seal it, not fill it. We don’t make it disappear but seal it so you do not have many pinholes in the finish. Grain isn’t a big issue if you paint with a brush and roller. We have to use this process to do a 100% spray finish.
- Once the primer phase is completed, we will use our grain filler by brushing it on and wiping it off. Our process lets us fill the grain without any brush marks
- Next, we will sand all the oak down before applying our finish coats
