Painted Finish

A cabinet finish achieved by applying multiple coats of primer and paint — typically catalyzed lacquer or conversion varnish — over a wood or MDF substrate. Painted cabinets offer unlimited color options and a smooth, contemporary look. They do require more maintenance than stained wood because nicks and scratches reveal the underlying material.
