painting previous painted kitchen cabnets

[bobbones]

Hi all

Got kitchen cupboards to do.
Previously painted ( maybe 5 or 6 years ago in a decent flat oilbased eggsell.) The client wants a simular hard wearing flat finish. Any ideas?
Dulux and Jono eggshells at the moment have too much sheen..... Worried that F and B waterbased is not tough enough and takes an age to harden off b4 denibing.
Sikens? Flat oil? Floor Paint???? has to have a low sheen. Primers U/C?

Cheers chaps

The modern oil-base eggshells start off shiny but they do dull down after a week or so? I'm going back to a kitchen I did before xmas in Dulux e/s so I will see how it looks now. But that would be my first choice, going with the same type of paint. If you go water-base then you have to consider a primer as well

Cover stain and then little green eggshell w/b ?

little greene oil based eggshell all the way! - no contest - nothing comes close at the moment.

good wet flat then away you go on previsouly painted surfaces.

Thanks chaps. Good advice. Be interested to hear whether that Dulux egg did sheen down.

F&B is strong enough, it's all I ever use. I continually hear bad things about f&b and can't understand why.

The system I use is a dulux ultra grip two pack primer followed by f&b. The ultra grip drys in such a way that the surface can sanded exceptionally smooth so the need for any subsequent denibbing is limited and I only ever need to use a very fine sponge scotch pad. I have done dozens using this system over various substrates and the finish has always been exceptional. I also still work in many of the houses, some I done more than 6 years ago and they look as new.
