Painted Cabinet Doors
Allstyle offers standard or custom colour painted finishes of our doors.
We use the best equipment and chemistry available and our finish is "professional quality".
The colors represented on this web page are for guidance only. Please visit our showroom for samples or request using our online request form.
People tell us that our painted doors feel "really nice" and touching our painted door conveys a sense of high quality. That is because we use a six step painting process without shortcuts.
Our Paint Process
After the door is made it is first prepared by hand sanding the edges and surfaces on the front and back.
Next we apply a first coat of primer followed by a second hand sanding.
That is followed by a second coat of primer and a third hand sanding.
Finally the door is ready for the final colour which is called the top coat.
We use a post-catalyzed industrial lacquer that cures to a durable and long lasting finish that looks great and is easy to clean. The result is a final product that has a very pleasant silky smooth feel.
Process Step - Hand Sanding Primer
This video illustrates the vitally important step of hand sanding the primer coat preparing for the next layer of paint finish on a large sectioned cabinet end panel.

Clear Coat Lacquer
We offer a beautiful and durable Lacquer clear coat finish in 25 sheen for natural wood doors.
Custom Colours
We can custom finish our doors to match Benjamin Moore colour codes. Benjamin Moore colours which are not included in our standard offering have an upcharge, a minimum order charge of $250, and adds one to two weeks to our standard lead time.
Painting Solid Wood Doors
We are sometimes asked if we can paint a solid wood raised panel door. We do not recommend painting solid wood panels. The reason is that wood shrinks and swells slightly with changes in heat and humidity. This happens even under a coat of paint. The door frame is narrow, usually between two and three inches, and the dimensional change is minimal. However a center panel is four to five times wider. Small paint cracks can form over time at the joint where the panel fits into the rails. This is because the panel expands and contracts within the wood frame. Our solution is to use a dimensionally stable MDF center panel surrounded by wood rails. Experience has taught us that this is the best way to construct a five piece door for painting.
Examples
An island panel in the Tilford design finished in Benjamin Moore Salisbury Green HC-139. This green goes well with OC-17 White Dove.
