Popular Kitchen Paint Colours & Why We Use Renner Wood Coatings
Choosing the Perfect Colour for Your Kitchen
One of the most exciting parts of transforming your kitchen is choosing the colour. A new colour can completely change the look and feel of your home, making the space brighter, warmer, more contemporary or timeless.
At First4Spraying, we help homeowners across Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding areas choose colours that complement their home, lifestyle and personal taste.
While colour is important, it’s only part of the equation. The quality of the coating is what determines how your kitchen will perform over the years. That’s why we exclusively use Renner Wood Coatings—one of the most respected furniture finishing systems in the industry.
Why We Only Use Renner Wood Coatings
Your kitchen is one of the busiest rooms in your home. Cabinet doors are opened and closed countless times every day, exposed to steam, cooking heat, moisture, grease and constant cleaning.
Standard household paints simply aren’t designed for these conditions.
That’s why we use Renner Wood Coatings, a professional furniture finishing system trusted by cabinet makers, furniture manufacturers and specialist sprayers throughout Europe.
Renner products are specifically developed for timber and MDF furniture, providing a finish that is exceptionally durable while maintaining a beautiful, smooth appearance.

- Outstanding durability
- Excellent scratch resistance
- Superior adhesion

The result is a kitchen that continues to look fantastic long after the project has been completed.
A Finish Designed for Everyday Family Life
Kitchen cabinets experience constant use.
From children opening cupboards to preparing family meals, your cabinetry needs to cope with daily wear.

- Finger marks

Cashmere
One of the UK’s most requested kitchen colours.
Cashmere creates a warm, elegant appearance without feeling too stark.

Greige and Warm Neutrals

Choosing the Right Sheen Level
Colour is only one part of the final appearance. The sheen level also influences how your kitchen looks and performs.
We can advise on the most suitable finish depending on your chosen colour and the style of your home.
A lower sheen creates a soft, contemporary look, while a slightly higher sheen can enhance durability and make cleaning easier.
During your consultation, we’ll explain the options and recommend the finish that best suits your kitchen.
Why Preparation Matters Just As Much As Paint
Even the highest-quality coating cannot compensate for poor preparation.
Every kitchen we spray undergoes a thorough preparation process, including:
- Deep cleaning and degreasing
- Careful sanding
- Specialist priming
- Multiple spray coats
- Controlled curing
- Detailed quality inspections
This attention to detail allows the Renner coating system to perform exactly as intended and ensures a long-lasting finish.
