Prep

Remove the cabinet doors, drawers, false drawer fronts, and any attached hardware. If the cabinet has working drawers, remove them from the cabinet. Then unscrew the drawer fronts, where possible, and finish them separately.

Clean

Using water and the degreaser dish soap, wash off all grease and oils that normally buildup on cabinetry over time. Then rinse twice with fresh water and sponge and allow time to thoroughly dry.

Tape

Use painter's tape to mask off the underside of the vanity top, adjoining walls, and floor.

Scuff Sand

Next, scuff sand cabinets, doors, etc., and apply a test sample of Sherwin-Williams Extreme Bond Primer in an inconspicuous area.

Allow to dry properly and test for adhesion. Because of the exceptional adhesion of this product, full sanding may not be necessary for most clean, paintable surfaces.

Prime

Once you have established good bonding/adhesion, you can prime the entire surface. Keep in mind that any surface prep short of clean, dry and dull will lead to poor adhesion, and may affect the adhesion of the painted top coat. Before priming, a quality wood filler/putty should be used to patch holes or imperfections in the surface.

Using a brush, edge a coat of Extreme Bond Primer to all exposed areas of the bathroom vanity. Use a roller to finish. Let dry for about 2-3 hours.

Paint

Brush or roll on the first coat of paint and let dry. Then add two additional coats to protect the surfaces from daily use. Remove the tape by pulling it away from the wall at a 45° angle.

Let dry overnight and reassemble hardware

Let dry overnight to ensure the Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel has fully dried. Reassemble doors and hardware, or switch out old hardware for a new stylish look.
