I apologize in advance!The rundown on painting cabs again please?

Sorry, sorry, sorry! I know this has been asked five bazillion times.

What's the rundown on properly painting oak cabinets?  I'm ready to jump in and try it in our bathroom.

Re: I apologize in advance!The rundown on painting cabs again please?

  • I'm in the middle of painting our kitchen cabinets.  I don't think they're oak though.

    I started by sanding (20+ hours), then cleaning the sanding material, now I'm priming w/Zinnser's oil-based primer (15 hours), then sanding again, then painting w/2 coats of professional semi-gloss latex.

    Good luck!  A bathroom cabinet should be much faster.
