I am having my old kitchen cabinets spray painted and am searching for pulls. If I buy plain wood pulls and have them spray painted, would they hold up? Thanks a lot. Pat
Painted Cabinet Pulls

Possibly. Probably not.
It depends on what you have them painted with and how good a job the painter does.
If I had to do this, I would use highest-quality enamel intended and specially formulated for hard use. I would sand and prime carefully. I would apply at least three coats of paint. I would let the pulls dry a month (or twice whatever time the paint manufacturer recommends) before installing them to allow the paint to harden.
If you use regular paint and install right away, the paint will probably be wearing off before a year is out if the kitchen gets high use.
Good luck.

Probably not. I would buy finished pulls.
