What DIY really takes
- A sprayer. Brushed cabinet doors show every stroke. A decent sprayer costs real money.
- A spray space. Doors need a clean, dust-free area to be sprayed and cured.
- Days of prep. Degrease, sand, fill, prime — the unglamorous 80% of the job.
- Cure patience. The kitchen is disrupted for a week or more.
When DIY makes sense
A small vanity. A laundry cabinet. A low-stakes project where brush marks will not bother you. See touch-up — small fixes are very DIY-able.
When to hire
The main kitchen. Oak that needs grain filling. Any deadline. And anytime you want a warranty behind the work — see warranty guide.
