Cabinet & Trim Paint (93 items found)

A fresh coat of paint can give your space new life, whether it’s the kitchen cabinetry, the trim in the living room, or the door in your bedroom. From bold and bright colors that make a statement to subtle neutrals that compliment any decor style, Ace Hardware has cabinet, door and trim paint that’ll help you achieve the look of your dreams.

What Kind of Paint Do You Use on Cabinets?

Manufacturers produce paints for specific applications, which means that the interior paint you use for your walls might not be suitable for other spots in your home. For example, ceiling paint tends to be thicker to reduce the risk of drips and splashes, while wall paint has a lower viscosity that makes it easier to brush on. Furniture and craft paints are specially formulated to adhere to surfaces other than walls, such as metal and wood.

Like other types of paint, cabinet, door, and trim paint have unique formulations. Some have enamel paint formulas or special ingredients that allow the paint to resist fading and scratching. This extra durability for cabinet and door paint helps the finish withstand the effects of frequent opening and closing. The products can also hold up to scuffs and scrapes when used as trim paint on baseboards and other areas.

How to Choose an Interior Cabinet Paint

To choose the best door, cabinet, and trim paint for your needs, consider the following:

• Blendability: Some cabinet paint products have additives that enhance blending, making brushstrokes less visible. These formulas are a good pick for people who prefer not to see brushstrokes once the paint dries.
• Coverage: The level of coverage of door and trim paint varies. If you choose a lower-coverage paint, you may need more coats to achieve your desired results.
• Self-leveling: Some cabinet and door paint self-levels, meaning it becomes smoother while it dries. These products work well on molding and cabinets that have intricate carvings as it helps the paint better adhere to these areas. However, a self-leveling paint may cover the wood grain of cabinetry and trim. If you still want to see the wood's texture, paint with high self-leveling potential may not be the best option.
• Care: If the cabinetry and trim around your bathroom sink or stove frequently ends up splattered during your daily routine, look for paints you can scrub once cured. Doing so will simplify cleaning in the future.
• Moisture-resistance: To ensure durability, select moisture-resistant cabinet paint for damp or humid areas like the bathroom.
• Color: Select a color that coordinates with your palette. Paint samples can help you give a new shade a test run to see if you like it.
