Project Description
Marlin Painting and Remodeling recently completed a five-day cabinet painting project for a new homeowner in Nolensville, TN. The cabinet painting involved removing all cabinet doors and drawers, transporting them to our shop, and giving them a professional spray finish. Using BIN Shellac Primer and two topcoats of Benjamin Moore Advance in Limousine Leather (satin finish), our cabinet painters transformed the look of the basement cabinets into a sleek, dark design.
Background / Story:
Rachel and her husband had just moved from Florida and were ready to make their new Nolensville home feel more like their own. The basement cabinets, however, didn’t fit their style. After finding us on Google and reading through our reviews, Rachel reached out for help.
The goal was simple—take builder-grade cabinets and give them the same rich, bold look you’d expect in a custom home. We started by carefully prepping every surface, then sprayed each piece in our shop for a flawless, factory-level finish. From cleaning and sanding to applying multiple coats, the process was detailed and time-intensive, but the payoff was worth it.
Scope of Services:
- Cabinet Painting: Complete refinishing of basement cabinets.
- Prep Work: Removal of all doors and drawers, cleaning, sanding, and surface repairs.
- Primer Application: One coat of BIN Shellac Primer for proper adhesion.
- Finish Coats: Two spray-applied coats of Benjamin Moore Advance in Limousine Leather.
- Final Touches: Reinstalled doors and drawers, adjusted alignment, and cleaned the workspace.
Paints / Products Used:
- BIN Shellac Primer
- Benjamin Moore Advance, Satin Finish
- Limousine Leather Color
Results:
The cabinets now have a dark, polished look that instantly elevates the basement space. Rachel was so happy with the work that she left us a glowing Google review and even offered to recommend our services to her friends. The deep Limousine Leather finish gave the cabinets a high-end feel that tied the entire room together.
