I am currently refinishing some under-sink bathroom cabinets.
The inside walls are MDF maybe with a coat of poly slapped on during construction about 15 years ago.
They're ugly, dark and rough. And they harbor dust. When I encountered the same problem with some identical kitchen cabinets, I slapped on a few coats of poly. That helped but I'm less than thrilled with the result. I'd like to use a light color to help make the inside of these cabs look a little less dark.
One simple option would be some white semi-gloss latex which I happen to have. I also have some primer so that's not a problem.
It may be a bit soft but the finish doesn't need to handle a lot of knocks and scrapes -- these cabinets are only used to store supplies of toilet tissue, soap, toothpaste and some cleaning materials.
Do you think this will work, or am I creating a disaster?
Other suggestions welcomed although I don't want or need to spend a lot of time or money on this.
