In your kitchen travels, have you developed a preference when it comes to painted cabinets? We’re moving end of the month and the new house has natural wood cabinets, trying to figure out if it’s feasible to hire someone to paint them or if I should just order new fronts that have been factory painted

I'd run the costs myself. See what the difference is.

That’s the current plan, just wondering if anyone had been successful long term with having them painted on site.
With my current cabinets, I painted all the boxes but bought new drawer fronts and doors from a custom cabinet wholesaler who matched the color and sprayed everything offsite.
The new kitchen has some really nice existing cabinets, just not our style. So if painting them is something that will last, I’d prefer to preserve what’s there as replacing them would be kinda wasteful.

I’ve sent them out a couple of times ...
Had to super clean them to make sure there’s no trace of any oil..
My cabinet guy sprays a lacquer finish and the oil (dirt) causes fish eyes in the finish product...
These where not painted but refinished with satin sealer...
Painting a color May be more problematic me thinks...
Hurry up, it’s almost time to fish....

This one is getting subbed out. 4 week project that is done May 4th whether it’s complete or not. I learned my lesson last fall... not letting another season get messed up by my insatiable appetite for home projects

Not wasteful if you are able to recycle said cabinets in a newly built out work shop.....

Excellent point....
I should have specified that the thing that isn’t our style is simply the color (they’re natural cherry) but since we’re staining the floors, natural wood cabinets just aren’t gonna work. Probably going to give it a shot as a hire out for stripping down the existing cabinets, painting them, and putting things back together.
