Custom Cabinet Refinishing
Factory-smooth Italian conversion coatings (Renner & Milesi) transforming Santa Barbara kitchens at a fraction of replacement cost.
Breathe New Life into Your Kitchen and Bathrooms
If your kitchen cabinets are solidly built with sound hardwood boxes, tearing them out to remodel is unnecessary and environmentally wasteful. Replacing luxury cabinetry in Santa Barbara typically costs $60,000 to over $120,000 and disrupts your household for months.
Paradise Painting provides an artisan alternative: professional cabinet spray conversion. Using high-solids 2-component Italian polyurethanes and waterborne conversion varnishes (Renner and Milesi), we deliver a finish as silky, durable, and cleanable as brand-new custom European cabinetry.

Our Factory-Grade Cabinet Process
- Careful Hardware & Door Removal: We catalogue every hinge, handle, and drawer front. Doors and drawer fronts are brought to our climate-controlled spray facility.
- Complete Degreasing & Mechanical Etching: Kitchen cabinets accumulate invisible cooking oils. We use chemical denaturants and mechanical sanding to ensure absolute chemical bonding.
- High-Build Bonding Primers: We spray catalyzed stain-blocking primer that fills wood grain pores and permanently locks out tannin bleed.
- Two Catalyzed Finish Coats: Applied via HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray systems for a velvet-smooth touch with zero brush strokes or roller stipple.
- Dust-Free On-Site Containment: In your home, cabinet boxes and face frames are sealed under negative-air plastic containment with exhaust scrubbers.

Endless Color Possibilities
Whether you desire a soothing coastal palette from a vibrant rainbow of colors—such as soft sea glass, bleached linen, or dove gray—or want to make a statement with a contrasting kitchen island featuring navy, charcoal, or custom purple painting hues, our color technicians calibrate every sheen from dead flat to high-gloss piano finish. We guarantee true paradise finishes that resist moisture, detergents, and daily family wear.
Hardware Upgrades & Soft-Close Conversions
While your cabinets are being finished, we can fill old knob holes and redrill for modern pulls, or install soft-close concealed European hinges. When we reinstall, your kitchen looks and functions like a newly built designer showcase.
