Sure, it has “dirty” in its name but that doesn’t mean it should look it! Your dirty kitchen also deserves love and attention. Keep it looking inviting with a fresh coat of paint. We’ve got recommendations for products you can use.
What is a Dirty Kitchen?
Dirty kitchens are common in Philippine homes. Not to be taken literally, dirty kitchens are simply additional or secondary kitchen areas that are found partly outdoors. This keeps the main kitchen—which is found indoors—clean and presentable, especially during gatherings when large amounts of food are prepared for guests. In some instances, the dirty kitchen is also the primary kitchen of the house.
Boysen Quick Drying Enamel
For wooden cabinets
For painting on high-touch wooden surfaces, Boysen Quick Drying Enamel is an excellent choice for both exterior and interior applications—perfect for your kitchen cabinets. It’s durable, so whatever you paint will look good for a long time. It has good hiding, so you don’t have to worry about those minor stains on the surface of what you’re painting.
Plus, you’ve got a good selection of color options too. There are 22 readily available colors for Boysen Quick Drying Enamel, including black and white. They all come in a glossy finish for that sought-after shine which also makes cleaning your cabinets a breeze.
Boysen Permacoat Latex
For walls
For the concrete walls in your dirty kitchen area, consider Boysen Permacoat Latex in semi-gloss. Semi-gloss is more water-resistant compared to less glossy finishes like matte and flat. It’s easier to clean too which is always a plus in the kitchen.
Boysen Permacoat Latex is a 100% acrylic paint. This makes it outstandingly durable, excellent at hiding imperfections and flaws, and dirt pick-up resistant. It dries to the touch in just an hour, needs only two hours per recoating, and already looks great with two coats of paint.
With Boysen Pemacoat Latex you get more than a thousand paint colors to choose from via the Boysen Mix and Match stations (list of locations here). It also has a wide selection of readily available colors.
Boysen Acrytex
For wooden cabinets and walls
Dual purpose, you can use this product on both your walls and cabinets! You may know Boysen Acrytex as the extremely weather-resistant paint for home concrete exteriors. Here’s some good news: you can also use it on wooden surfaces. If your cabinets are exposed to the outside elements, such as for outdoor dirty kitchens, it’s definitely a smart choice.
Boysen Acrytex has excellent adhesion and long-term durability. This acrylic solvent-based paint forms a watertight film that allows it to repel water so you won’t have to worry about your outdoor kitchen cabinets and walls even when it rains. It comes in flat, semi-gloss, and gloss finishes in a white paint color. If you want to achieve other hues, you can tint it using Acrytex Tinting Colors.
