        "text": "Painting cabinets requires specialized, high-durability coatings rather than standard latex wall paint. Professional cabinet refinishers typically use industrial-grade waterborne alkyd enamels, urethane-modified acrylics, or conversion coatings. These specialized formulas dry to a hard, smooth finish that resists chipping, scratching, and frequent hand contact around handles. Standard interior wall paint remains too soft and rubbery, making it prone to peeling, sticking to face frames, and breaking down quickly under regular kitchen heat, cleaning chemicals, and moisture.",
