We are having our varnished solid wood cabinets sanded, primed and painted. I have previously oiled them. Our contractor said we need a high bond primer. Would any of the AFM Safecoat primers work? The paint will be water based, probably AFM Safecoat. Which paint would you recommend also? SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, Ecolacq Sandable Primer Paints & Primers

If all the old varnish is stripped or sanded down to bare wood, then use one coat of AFM Transitional Primer + 2 coats of AFM Zero Voc semi-gloss paint. You could also use 1 coat Ecolacq Sandable Primer + 2 coats Ecolacq which was made for furniture and cabinetry. It is a tintable lacquer substitute and is more durable than the Semi-gloss paint.
