Need some Advice....

[dre271]

Guys,
Need some advice. I installed these cabinets from my old kitchen into my garage. Does anyone have any ideas on what color combination to paint these cabinets? The wood grain isn't working... I was thinking a combination of light & dark gray. Any ideas or garage pictures with painted cabinets?

Thanks....

Looking at that picture, I'd say black or red.

Not the greatest picture but you get the idea. The paint is Rustoleum Oil based industrial grey...got it at Lowes

JUST my .02 your garage looks to be a one car? if so I'd make a checkerboard pattern to make it look deeper. or use a dark color on the frames and something light on the doors. Like I said just my .02

gray then a red stripe horizontal across all of them

Another vote for red here.

Looks like you were pretty lucky in that the cabinets fit perfectly between the two walls. Looking good!!!

Thanks for all the replies. I think I am going take estanley's advice and paint the walls a light gray and the cabinets a dark gray. I think that will blend with the table & tool cabinet. I also plan on having the floor painted a gray/black spec mix. I did find a video with some good advice for painting the cabinets:

Anyone got a better tutorial video?

Thanks again for the help & advice.

I'd keep the wood look. Paint looks cheap compared to what you have now.

paint the cabinet red and the doors the dark grey/black and then make some c-man decals to put on them
