I am going to be painting some laminate kitchen cabinets.  They are

home that I own that I will be renting out.

My plan is to clean the cabinets, probably lightly sand the surface,
then prime with Zinsser B-I-N shellac-based primer.  After that,
paint with either latex-based or oil-based paint.

The Zinsser B-I-N shellac-based primer says to not clean the cabinets
wit
h
TSP.  One website I found suggested cleaning them with Xylol.  Any
suggestions on what to use for the cleaning part?

I assume that oil-based paint would be better and would result in a
harde
r
and more durable finish than latex-based paint.  Is that correct?

Any other suggestions or thoughts on how to go about doing this?

Cabinets can he hard to paint and make it work because the grease from
hands gets imbedded in the finish. A plastic laminate? Plastics can be
hard to bond to even clean. I would go to a real paint store and talk
primers. XIM is plastic primer, I would probably after washing the
cabinets remove grease with Laquer thinner or similar. There could be
nothing worse than having a finished job where the paint comes off
with your fingernails around the knobs


I don't know about on plastic but that XIM stuff appears to be the bomb.
Appropriately pricey.

Some may recall but early last summer I had posted that I had to repaint
some metal garage doors that bake in the afternoon sun in the south.
Eventually went to Sherwin Williams and asked them about it. They gave me
XIM. TSP'd with scrub brush, primed and painted it with 100% acrylic
latex. Today it looks like the day it was painted with no signs of
fading, peeling, etc.
