OUCH! I would definately strip...take the doors down mark them so you remember where they came from and strip them. Otherwise you will be sanding forever, exspecially if they used the overcoat.
If the cabinets have decorative edging...the dremel tool works wonders!Previous owner of our house crackle painted the cabinets-is there a way to cover up without sanding/striping?
Looks like you have to strip them or replace with new ones. Striping is a lot of work. I know of no tool that would make the job easier, belt sanders plug up with paint, rotary sanding discs leave swirl marks. If you don't have a lot of cabinets, there are inexpensive ones on the market, that when put together correctly look quite nice. Sometimes what seems like a lot of money up front, pays off down the road.Previous owner of our house crackle painted the cabinets-is there a way to cover up without sanding/striping?
no way to just go over that
you are going to have to put some work in to it
unless you want them to look worse............thicker and cracklier
I wouldn't recommend painting over a crackle finish. It would be better, though a lot more work, to strip the paint down to the wood, sand the wood lightly, then prime coat it and repaint the cabinets with two finish coats of enamel, or stained and varnish them after the sanding.
No way. Sorry but your going to have to break down and do it.
