Before applying, ensure the cupboards are clean, dry, and free from grease or wax. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Apply the paint using a brush or roller, following the grain of the wood if applicable. For spraying, dilute the paint with water by 10-20%. Two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and durability. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Clean up spills immediately with a damp cloth.
