AMAZING Cabinet Painting Tips!!! Holes in Cabinet Doors....
What happens here
After painting and reinstallation, any visible holes from the cup hooks can be easily concealed. Apply a small amount of spackle directly into each hole using your finger. Allow the spackle to dry completely. Once dry, take a natural bristle brush and apply a single coat of lacquer paint, matching the cabinet color, over the filled area. This process is quick and effective, especially since most cabinets are painted white, and white spackle blends seamlessly. While caulk can also be used, spackle is preferred as caulk may shrink and leave an indentation, whereas spackle provides a smoother, more flush finish.
Goal: Make the drilled holes inconspicuous or invisible on reinstalled cabinet doors.
