Painted Cabinets: Repairs and Touch-Ups |
Touch-ups for a chipped or scraped cabinet are most effective if you use the manufacturer's original paint or stain colors, although your cabinets may have faded over time.
If you know the brand, contact a local distributor or cabinet retailer, who usually stock touch-up paints, even for cabinets and colors that are no longer produced.
Spot painting touch-ups are more difficult on cabinets that have become discolored, such as around cooking areas affected by heat and airborne grease and soot. Often the best remedy is to repaint or restain the entire area.
Start and end at a cabinet edge, and the slight color change from the original shade will be less noticeable.
