| Here are my current thoughts in terms of painting over my cabinets, and window trim over the kitchen sink. House built in 1921, so probably lead-based paint.
Sanding is out, especially as I have a 13 month old and a 6 year old in the house. 1. Clean with TSP, Dirtex, or KrudKutter (opinions appreciated). 2. Apply de-glosser (although would love to skip this step if it won't help) 3. Use a bonding primer. So far, XIM bonding primer (400? UMA?) and Zinsser BIN seem most recommended (again, other thought appreciated!) 4. What do do exactly about chips, holes in paint? Wood filler? XIM Peel Bond Trim Magic (Was thinking I could use this and sand over to even out just the spots that are failing... (?) 5. Top coat with either Cabinet Coat or BM Waterbourne Satin Impervo Thoughts anyone?? |

| If you are priming, just make sure cabinets are clean. You can use TSP, but don't drive yourself nuts. Repair holes and such w/a spackle knife and spackle. Let dry, lightly sand and then prime. I use BIN, but it is smelly, so you can go with the BM Fresh Start. Then paint. Either of your choices would work. I always prefer BM. Have fun!! |

| You can skip step 2, not necessary. As stated, you can fill small nicks and stuff with joint compound( not spackle), lightly sand, prime all with BM fresh Start and then you're Satin Impervo, done. IMO spackle is for filling nail holes on drywall and I do not even trust it that far, but that's me. |
