I really think the key is a good oil based primer. Don't got for anything water based when painting something like knotty pine. Do a couple of coats of primer and a couple of coats of paint. I just used an eggshell finish - a lot of people don't like that finish on cabinets but if you have a lot of imperfections to hide then it's a great choice. It will still wipe up pretty well - although not the absolute most durable finish. I have a 20 month old and he hasn't ruined them yet though :). I also painted a wall in our house that was knotty pine and it's still awesome looking as well. Hope this helps!!The Remodeled Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10191094532208035282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176687840130609855.post-67695107896544010592012-07-03T00:44:50.154-04:002012-07-03T00:44:50.154-04:00So, I realize this was posted quite a while ago, b...So, I realize this was posted quite a while ago, but I was googling "can I paint knotty pine cabinets" and came across your site. My question is, have any of the knot holes bled through the paint? We had this problem with a pine armoire I had as a teenager and I'm so afraid of that happening in our kitchen. However, I do not want to paint them a dark color. I want white. Anyway, if you could let me know how its looking now that it's a year later, I'd be most appreciative! :-)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00288832335156868282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176687840130609855.post-73032313638539721422011-12-05T23:07:03.925-05:002011-12-05T23:07:03.925-05:00So glad you found us!
