How to Apply BEHR PREMIUM® Cabinet & Trim Enamel

Easily bring a whole new look to your kitchen by adding a pop of colour to your cabinets.

For Best Results:

If you are painting a cabinet that was previously painted with a glossy paint, thoroughly scuff-sand or degloss the surface for proper adhesion. Maintain your painted cabinets and safely wipe away dirt and common household stains with BEHR SWIPES™ Interior Wall Wipes.
