Where the inside panel meets the exterior trim piece? I doesn't look like it but I've read through several different blogs and only one that I read specifically said they chalked. We did one door with out and the paint gets in the most of the area but before we start all the other doors I wondered if I should chalk or not? This is are first attempt at painting cabinets and in the end I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not?

I painted my cabinets about 2 years ago, but the paint is chipping off in some places and I'm contemplating painting again-correctly this time. Do you know, or anyone else reading, do I need to sand off the paint back down to wood?

My cabinets are not painted or stained but instead are covered in some sort of hard finish that after fifteen years, it simply pealing off (photo attached.) Behind the finish is plain particle board. Do you have any thoughts on how to prep these for paint? I have painted two vanities with similar finish and just pealed off the finish, cleaned the cabinetry and painted. Not sure how it will last in the long term over a more throughout prep process like you did. Laurenhttp://houseandhome493.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
