Paint an old cabinet with matt paint

The cost to paint an old cabinet with matte paint is €55 per hour incl. VAT. This rate is based on Zoofy’s pricing for furniture painting.

On average, the total price is around €110 to €195, based on 4 completed furniture-painting jobs. The final cost mainly depends on the size of the cabinet, how many coats are needed (especially when changing colors), and how much prep work is required.

With Zoofy, pricing is transparent and you also pay no call-out fees, so it stays clear upfront.

On average, painting a cabinet with matte paint takes about 2 hours and 38 minutes, based on 4 jobs.

Cabinets with old paint layers, damage, or lots of details (doors, drawers, trims) often take longer due to extra cleaning, sanding, and small repairs.

A professional ensures your cabinet gets a smooth matte look and a durable finish. The job usually includes:

1) Inspection & preparation
The cabinet is checked for damage, loose paint, and grease/dirt. Then it’s thoroughly degreased and lightly sanded for proper adhesion.

2) Masking & protecting the area
Parts that shouldn’t be painted (hinges, edges, glass) are masked off, and the workspace is protected.

3) Priming (if needed)
For tricky surfaces or major color changes, a primer may be applied for an even result.

4) Painting with matte (furniture) paint
The matte paint is applied carefully in one or more coats for a clean, streak-free finish.

5) Finishing touches & clean-up
After drying, details are checked and touched up, and everything is cleaned up neatly. If you want extra protection, a matte protective coat can be added (in consultation).
