20 Years Worth of Painting Hacks! Every Painting Hack The Idaho Painter knows!

What happens here

To prepare cabinets for painting, apply painter's tape to the back of the cabinet face frames. This simple step ensures that no paint gets inside the cabinet boxes, which are typically made of melamine and do not accept paint well. After taping, some plastic sheeting is tacked over the opening to protect the interior further. This method is used when spray painting the face frames.

Goal: Protect the interior of cabinet boxes from paint overspray when painting face frames.

Tools and materials

  • Painter's Tape — Securing plastic sheeting and masking edges
  • Plastic Sheeting — Protecting the interior of the cabinet boxes from overspray
