Further information:
I used kitchen cupboard paint, as an alternative to chalk paint / Annie Sloan. It's great to paint Laminate Cupboard doors, MDF doors, or Wooden cupboard doors. I used the colour 'Mineral stone' (grey / gray paint), I think white, antique white, dark brown or duck egg blue are all great kitchen door paint colours too.
I used half a tin of the primer & 1 and a half tins of the cupboard paint to do my kitchen which is made up of 11 units.

I love your video and I am going to paint my kitchen cabinets as well. I love that I could do it without taking the doors off. Also I love how honest and relatable you are. Great job😊
That tin foil lining for the paint tray tip has changed my life! Thank you.
Thank you for showing me I can paint my cabinets without removing them!!
Great job👍🏽
Very useful reference to the F & B colour chart, the angled-sanding pads tip, the good-quality roller tip, the truly amazing tin foil masking tape tip!! And loved the fact you didn't take the doors off! The best tutorial about painting kitchen cabinets I've seen, thank you.
If you have no foil try cling film ( cheaper and more of ) but in case you will not use it for awhile keep plenty of paint on it , ie leave it wet
What a great video! Very well done. Straight to the point and not over-complicated. Easy to follow.
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful :)
Kitchen makeover part 2: I painted the tiles! th-cam.com/video/KmdV6aV-vWU/w-d-xo.html Come and say hi on Instagram 😀👍❤️ instagram.com/mistercarrington/
I love this so much, I'm going to do my kitchen the same colour now I've seen how good it can look. You've really given me the confidence to give it a go thanks.
thank you so much for doing this video, was just pondering about which paint to use on my kitchen makeover, there are so many out there so its nice to see one been used and see the results, just to ask , how it it wearing , I had plan to remove all 16 doors and 9 drawer, after watching your video, I will leave them on, win win for me. THANK YOU
Hi Mr Carrington, I love this video, thank you so much. I've bought the Wilko primer and the Wilko cabinet paint today. The roller link you left doesn't work now, I'm presuming because the video is old so i bought a sponge roller but putting the primer on melamine with a sponge roller just didn't work, it was skidding all over the place so I have done my first coat with a brush but is very patchy (brown melamine). What roller should I buy for the primer (water based) and then then for the cupboard paint (not water-based) to get a smooth finish. Thank you so much and thank you for inspiring me to have the courage 😊 🙏
It's great to see your first video and then your most recent ones. It's cool to see how not only your home but you and your content has come along and become a great inspiration!
YAY, the relief I feel for not taking the cupboard doors off 😃 I’m currently painting the walls and ceiling!! Next is the cupboard paint 😊
thank you so much for this, bought some cupboard paint ages ago but was gripped(ha) by fear of messing it up. Watching this has given me the confidence to go ahead, really like your video, easy to follow and understand
Very useful and some good tips (like using tin foil, angled sanding pads). Presumably the same can be done for bedroom furniture (wardrobes etc.)?
I absolutely love this video, thank you, and your kitchen looks gorgeous. I have two questions, do you know what colour would be good to buy if I want cream cabinets? and how did you clean the rollers, brushes as some people are saying that the paint is so thick they can't clean it off. Thank you so much. I'm excited to start ☺️
Really impressed with the difference a simple paint job can do. I live in a beautiful but very old cottage. The last tenants painted the gallery kitchen cupboards a pale meadow green (lol my colour description) and while I like it, I want to change the colour. I have been putting it off thinking it was going to be a pain to do, but thanks to your video I now shall be painting kitchen cupboards next weekend. My now concern is what colour???? If anyone reads this please suggest some colours. My kitchen walls are cherise pink... Yes I paint my walls bright pink. Fridge freezer, microwave, cooker, kettle and all accessories are black.... But NO white units, god would be a nightmare to keep clean.
Enough waffle from me, thanks for a great video!!
I followed your advice and used the same paint, from Wilko, to paint my kitchen cupboards and the result is fantastic. Thanks!
This is my weekend project! Have tomorrow off so hope to get it all done by Sunday. Thanks for all the tips; it's a bit daunting, but clearly worth giving it a go :)
Great simple video! Wicked results your kitchen looks loads better, I’m trying this for my wife’s grandad tomorrow I said I’d have it done before Xmas for him so I’ve booked the day off! 👌🏻 wish me luck 🙏🏻
Did you finish Grandads kitchen? 😁
Iv subscribed, enjoyed ur vid. May i ask did u use any top coat? Or was it not needed? Thanks
Just came back for ideas as my husband is going to paint our kitchen doors. x 2023.
Quick simple and stress free! My cupboards are the same brown - sorry did you paint the inside of the doors ?
I'm wondering: did you paint the inside of your cupboards?
Good idea not having to take off the doors. The light wood colour, before wasn't bad, but the finished paint work is a big improvement. It looks stylish and creates a timeless look. Very nice indeed.
Your absolutely right buy the best when you buy brushes and rollers, makes the painting easier and the results are so much better. Money well spent. Looks amazing Mr. C! Your kitchen looks modern and clean. Great video.
this is the only video i have seen that you actually use a prime !!! so glad i watched this
I was able to persuade my sister to update her kitchen by showing her your video. Thank you
Yay!!! Yes. You have inspired me! Because of minor health reasons, time reasons and some laziness on my part... I just want to paint without taking every single door off...
dmr31 I'm so pleased! Good luck with your project :)
Hiya. Great video. If you wanted to paint cupboards from.beech colour to white. Do I just use the primer like u did before hand?
Yes. You might need to do more coats 🙌
Thank you I followed every step and I am loving my kitchen now
Looks great well done. I have just finished painting my kitchen cupboards and I am very pleased with the results
I have painted my kitchen cupboards a few times they are now yellow and grey lol makes a change yours look lush
Tin foil in the painting tray - genius!! I hate having to wash those things but want to keep re-using them to reduce plastic waste. Will give this a try.
Hi decided to paint my cupboards could I ask how many tins of paint you used for your size kitchen as mine is roughly the same size thanks great video
I think it was 2 I did a Q&A video too 👍
Even just the tin foil tip was genius!! Thanks for the great video 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Definitely a Hugh improvement, I want to have a go at mine. Thank you for video. I like the fact you didn’t take the doors off.
Thanks so much for this, how many tins of primer and paint did you use for your kitchen?
Witch paint roll did you use? I started to paint my cabinets and my small roller I assume is not really good cabinet surface looks not smooth , now I don’t know what to do 😢
Looks great!! My kitchen is that same boring colour your kitchen was. Happy to know there is hope!!!
I know this is ages ago but I was looking through your videos...I am so pleased to find this as I was debating whether to paint units too and now im confident to go ahead...oh and the foil tips are brilliant never thought of that...thank you Mr C
Looks fantastic, the finish you’ve got looks really good too. Want to give our kitchen a little make over, but like you said in the video, there’s so much information on TH-cam and the internet, it kind of puts you off doing it. But after I’ve seen how easily you did it, and the results you got from very little effort, it’s made me want to give it a crack!
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Yes they look great after painting BUT from looking at video I prefer them before painting. I suppose you have to seem them for real to make a proper judgement.
My cabinets are really old solid wood but have decades of grime etc on surface and I am wondering whether to revarnish or paint them.
"More painty" the technical term 😂😂 looks really good afterwards!
Alexishurricane thank you :)
Alexishurricane More grippy was also a techinical term i wasn't aware of 😂😂
Looks really good! Did you only need one can/tin? We have about the same amount of cupboards and drawers
I would of painted the kitchen blinds with the grey too. Looks lush. Great job.
😃Your tips are still as good now as back then.
I'm about to attempt my awful white cupboards myself, where did you get the roller and sand block from if you dont mind me asking? I'm looking at painting then grey too.
Clingfilm is superior for wrapping brushes and rollers to reuse, tinfoil wont be airtight I assure you, but using tinfoil to line a small roller tray is a good idea.
A VERY nice video. Thank you. Would you kindly let me know the name of the paint and the primer, please, as I can’t see it listed. Thanks. Kind regards. Jeanette
Omg I literally brought the same paint and colour today.. 😳 then come on here to see if I could do it without taking off the cupboard doors.. and your video was the first I saw 🙂
‘Grippy and firmy .....’ love the technical terms. Seriously though I’m a big fan of Wilko paint. I’ve recently done my bedroom walls in Cosy Grey and the bedframe in Storm Cloud. I’m very pleased with the results.
Sounds great Russell 😀
Mr Carrington I’d love to send you some pics.
Looks fab I've did mine about 6 months ago but they are chipping so gonna give this paint a go now thanks very helpful also think your great in the new show with Stacey great cleaning tips
I appreciate it
Some time since you did this. We’re your cabinets solid wood or like wrapped like most inexpensive ones are. I’m looking to wether I may have peel the wrap off , which is a lengthy process or if I can just paint ?
Looks great. Grey is so modern I love it too. Thanks for sharing 😊
2020, I'm a little late finding you. They look fantastic. Love from Florida 🌴
Been looking for someone who used wilko paint. Looks great! We even have the same blue tiles.
I'm thinking of either sandstone or ivory tusk as my kitchen is so dark. Thank you.
Trish Bowron This paint does reflect the light pretty well so those colours should work well for you! Good luck and please tag me in your pics if you do it!
This makes a project like this seem very do-able, but, my cupboard doors are solid wood and there are also melamine panels ... would this paint work in both surfaces?
I've just bought this exact paint and primer for my units, so excited to try your tips. And I love how down to earth you are! Literally no one cleans the top of their cabinets 🤣🤣
Chloe Martin haha I know we haven’t, and we’ve lived here for 5 years now😂
Nice to know they still stock this paint, I was looking at the dates on all these comments and it says 1-2years ago, then I saw yours from yesterday 👍🏻
Let the kitchen revamps begin!😁
Thanks for the tips can I ask what size paint did u need for your cabinet
Wish I’d seen this before I completely messed up my kitchen haha. Never mind, looks like I’ve got some sanding to do before starting again using your tips. Thank you
Wow... my cupboards are the same as yours and was unsure whether to try painting them...but it looks so good what you did.
Thanks for this as thinking of moving but hate the kitchen. So yeah gonna give this ago? Cheers looks good xx
I've had a quite a few messages asking me what colour Grey the paint is! It's called Mineral Stone. :)
Thanks for recommending this paint. I bought the same colour too. I wanted to paint the cupboard framework but not the door fronts. It is very thick paint and went on brilliantly with a small sponge roller, I didn't need primer or a second coat as it was super coverage and glossy the next day so I have loads left. 🤔 I am leaving it to cure for a few days before putting doors back on too.
I will say it is quite smelly as its oil based paint and needs very good ventilation. I did get a bit of a tight chest and a little short of breath, but maybe thats just me. Cleaning oilbased paint is not a thing I've done in years, so a bit tedious....
Great for anyone to revamp their kitchen on a budge Overall, excellent result for £20!!
I've been wanting to do this for ages but wasn't sure how to go about it. Going to do the grey as it will go with everything else I have. Thank you
Did you use a sealant after painting the cupboards? Also in terms of paint did you use gloss, satin or normal Matt emulsion?
This is all covered in the video 👍
It's May 15, 2020 today. Oh my gosh! You look like you're about 17 years old in this video. Lol. I'm just so use to seeing you with your beard and bed head hair. I love finding videos of people that are 4 or 5 years old. Cabinets came out really nice. Have a great evening. I forgot, your probably asleep because your like 5 hours ahead of where I live. Like I tell Kate, y'all live in the future 🌴😎💙😎🌴
Hi thank you so much fr all the tips as they really helped as im really thinking about painting the kitchen cupboards ... your kitchen looks fab 😍
The kitchen looks fab in the after photos.
I love that! Really quick,I was trying to avoid taking the doors down. I love your idea!
Terri Ingram thank you :) good luck with your project!
The units are looking great. Did you use the 750ml or 2.5l cans of paint?
Thank you! 750 ml :)
Thank you! You've given me the courage to try this. Should I still use primer if the paint already has primer in it? The cabinets are a light green and changing them to Grey just like yours.
I would prime if using the paint I used :)
@@MrCarrington I won't be using the same brand but the color I chose is very close, only it already has primer, but I guess for better coverage I should still use primer anyway?
Really good tips. Very clear instructions. Thanks.
You have inspired me. Thank you. Project cupboard doors begins.🙂
Morning I was thinking about using wilko paint for cupboards. After seeing this I will definately do this I picked whispering sage I think that's what it was called. I am gong to renovate after Christmas though. Thank you for your tips
Love the new colour on the kitchen looks nice
Thank you so much for the vid. Didn’t want to remove the cabinet doors and this definitely helped! 🙏❤️
I've just brought these paints and was reluctant to use them, this vid
has convinced me to use them. Thanks.
That's great to hear! Good luck! :)
Thank you, most helpful and looks fab!
Loved this, can't afford to get a whole new kitchen so defo going to try this to save money and give the kitchen a new look
did you paint the base and wall units or just the doors and unit walls?
It looks really good! I want to do this in my kitchen. My cabinets are wood veneer. Can it be done?
Started today..Great video, inspired me to give it a go...really helpful, I'm loving the results so far..i used B&Q self priming paint which is really good..Thanks..Doing the tiles next ...
The tin foil in the paint tray just blew my mind. Fricking love that hack
Well done matey on the Kitchen units, And a big thanks for the tin foil advice
Great video! By pure coincidence I began painting my kitchen yesterday with the exact same paint/roller on the exact same cupboards! I’ve primed all cupboards and tried first layer on first 2 panels. Finish doesn’t look great at this stage but will apply a second layer this evening. I didn’t sand prior painting and am worried. Is this a major concern? Hope you can respond! Many thanks
Richard Hamill i think the primer is good so hopefully it will be ok! Tag me in a picture when you’ve finished if you can I’d love to see it 😀
I'm going to try this out as I need 3 new cupboard fronts but cant get the 1s I need as they are to old so I'm going to buy 1s that dont match and just paint them like you did in your video thanks bro
Liked 36 seconds in...just because of your warm intro...
Ooooh this is perfect as I’m hoping to get painty painty, although did you paint the inside of the cupboards? And the drawers? Where do you stop, I’m a little scared to start!
It looks so great, I think you should tackle those blues tiles next? Maybe go white...........I say this knowing I want a tile painting video also :) xx
I really love this video. I hate my kitchen cabinets and can't afford to replace them, but the idea of taking the doors off, etc., is very intimidating. Seeing you do a nice job without removing them does make it more approachable. That said, how about coming for a visit? :D
gayla gavin It’s actually quite easy with just a screwdriver. (Drill with screwdriver bit makes it faster). Most important though, is to # each door so you know where it goes (or lay them out in order). You could start by doing a section at a time. Make sure doors are clean. Mr. Carrington doesn’t take the doors off. I think it will go faster if you do, but he shows it works! What a lovely change it will be and you would be proud of yourself. Just do it! 😄
did it last well? i notice this video is several years old now so just wondered how well it lasted, i want to do mine but am worried that over time the paint will come off
Yes 👍
Hi how many times of primer and grey did you end up using please?
Did you paint the insides as well?
No :) I've also done a Q&A on this where i explain more if you fancy watching that for more info.
@@MrCarrington Oh yes, I'll check it out, thanks :)
It looks great, it doesn’t matter about the colour it’s how you did it. People are going to chooses their own colours anyway, but it looks really cool ❤️
What kind of paint is this is it special for the wood, is it silk or what else could you tell me please? My English is not perfect I hope I could manage to explain
It’s linked in the description if you click the link you can read the full product description 👍
Hey, brilliant job! Seeing as this is a couple years old now, do you have an update on the wear of the paint?
Hi Dawn, there is an update video in the description box with Q&A - but in short it's still going strong :)
Iv watched your video and got paint. Kitchens exactly like yours. So far painting isn’t 😂 how many coats do you think? First one isn’t seamless. Waiting for it to dry ... 😬
2 or 3 :)
Thank you for the inspiration! Did 3 and I love it x
Thankyou for your advice, I am now doing my kitchen
Thanks for this video. Going to tackle my kitchen this week 🙏🏾🤘🏾
Love it !!!!!
Seen your latest videos your tiles are white!! Did you paint them also ?? Subscribed ❤️
Did u use a foam roller? Im currently doing priming my doors it says on the tin to wait 2 to 3 days before applying the paint but you did it after a day was all ok? I really don’t want to wait that long before the top coat goes on 😭.
Did you do yours straight after the primer about to start and want to get it done asap
