What surfaces can I paint? –

NUVO™ one-day cabinet makeover paints are designed to adhere to all bare wood, wood with a

varnish, painted wood, bare metal, painted metal, laminate and melamine cabinets. If your existing

cabinet finish is shiny, then it’s optimal to lightly sand the finish with a fine grit #600 sandpaper.

How much does one Kit cover? –

Each NUVO™ Paint Kit has sufficient paint to cover the typical kitchen - which is equivalent

to about forty running feet of standard cabinets or about one hundred square feet - Most

people use the ‘running feet’ figure because it’s quicker and easier to figure out -

NOTE: This amount of paint includes coating the front and back sides of all your cabinet

doors - the front of your drawers – and the front and sides of your cabinet frame. It does

not include coating the interior of your cabinet shelves –

NOTE: – if you’re covering very dark wood or paint with one of NUVO’s™ lighter colors –

then a third coat might be required – There is enough paint included for this occurrence -

How long will it take – and when can I use my cabinets again? –

From start to finish – your cabinet makeover should take you about eight hours. Of course, there

are variables - such your painting speed and amount of cabinets – which may impact the time. You

may use your kitchen in just a few hours after you apply your final coat. We simply recommend

you exercise caution around your new finish for the first seven days or so because the coating's

durability and adhesion builds with each day.

What other tools will I need? –

Here’s the other items you’ll need for your cabinet makeover. . .

1. “TSP” or “TSP-PF” heavy duty detergent - for cleaning the cabinets

2. Small tipped artist brush for reaching any unusual tight spots

3. Screw driver to remove the knobs and pulls from your cabinet doors and drawers

4. Frog Tape

Painter’s Tape to keep the paint off of your walls and appliances

5. Fast drying wood filler and #300 grit sand paper if you have any deep nicks to fill

6. Paint Roller Tray

NOTE - If you’re also going to be updating your countertops with Giani™ Granite

Countertop Paint – then be sure to makeover your cabinets first – because this will

eliminate the chance of getting paint on top of your new granite countertop finish -
