What is the best way to paint metal cabinets?

The best method for painting metal cabinets involves using a paint roller to roll the paint on the cabinet. Preparing the cabinet is an important first step to achieving the best results.

Before painting metal cabinets, it's important to clean them with a high-quality degreaser, and then to use sandpaper or steel wool to rough up the surface a bit — a step that preps the surface and allows for better adherence of the paint. Apply primer to the cabinet and allow sufficient drying time before applying the paint with a paint roller in long, straight movements to give the cabinet's paint job a seamless look.
