Professional Cabinet Refinishing with a Factory-Quality Finish
Sherwin-Williams Gallery Series® 1K is one of our preferred cabinet coating systems, delivering the smooth, factory-quality finish homeowners expect without the expense of replacing their existing cabinetry. Specifically engineered for cabinet refinishing, bathroom vanities, built-ins, and architectural millwork, this advanced waterborne coating produces an exceptionally smooth, durable finish that rivals the appearance of newly manufactured cabinets.
Unlike conventional wall or trim paints, Gallery Series® 1K is formulated specifically for high-use surfaces that experience constant handling and everyday wear. Its advanced resin technology provides outstanding adhesion, excellent hardness, and superior resistance to scratches, scuffs, moisture, grease, and common household cleaners, helping cabinets maintain their beauty for years to come. The coating also offers exceptional leveling properties, allowing brush and spray marks to settle into a smooth, furniture-quality finish with crisp lines and rich, uniform color.
One of Gallery Series® 1K’s greatest advantages is its incredibly fast recoat time—up to eight times faster than many traditional architectural coatings. This allows our team to complete projects more efficiently while maintaining the premium craftsmanship and attention to detail that every cabinet refinishing project deserves. Homeowners benefit from reduced downtime, allowing kitchens and bathrooms to be returned to service sooner without compromising the quality of the finish.
Available in virtually the entire Sherwin-Williams color collection and multiple sheen options, Gallery Series® 1K offers exceptional color depth, long-term durability, and a refined appearance that complements everything from modern kitchens to timeless, traditional cabinetry.
At Kensington Valley Painting, we recommend Sherwin-Williams Gallery Series® 1K for homeowners who want a professional cabinet transformation with a beautiful factory-quality finish, exceptional durability, and outstanding long-term value—all while saving thousands of dollars compared to a full cabinet replacement.
