How to paint oak cabinets FAST/EASY

What happens here

Begin by removing all cabinet doors from their hinges and taking off any existing hardware such as handles or knobs. Using 3M Advanced Masking Film and painter's tape, meticulously mask off all surrounding walls, countertops, floors, and any adjacent appliances or furniture to protect them from paint overspray. As you remove each cabinet door, use a marker or pencil to clearly label it and its corresponding hardware for easy reinstallation later.

Goal: Prepare the work area and cabinet components for refinishing.
