Kitchen Cabinet Trash Can Pull Out Paint Protection-advice needed!

lcg1221

última modificación:hace 6 años

Hi all...this may seem relatively incidental but I know I can't be the o n l y person who deals with this annoying issue so I am asking/pleading...what do you do to protect the paint finish on that pesky edge of trash & recycle can pull outs??!

I have dealt with this excessively fast wear and tear on every trash can pullout, not just this recent set of cabinets...of which I just spent thousands of dollars on custom cabinets (factory finish/paint with protective sealant) that are less than 6 months old, and I am already seeing the beginning signs of wear looming : ((

On the cabinets we had before the remodel I applied a thin layer of clear latex poly coat, but it got gummy to the touch and started to collect imprints, looked even worse, and then eventually peeled off with the paint.

Sadly I can't contact the cabinetmaker for a solution because things ended badly so I am wondering if anyone has any insider tricks for this ridiculously high-use cabinet?

I really want to catch this before it gets super unsightly (maybe too late) but I can't find any helpful info online...not sure what exactly I am looking for maybe...but I was wondering if there is some kind of thin clear plastic film that I could apply or something of that nature??

Any-all ideas/information welcome...thanks in advance!

Here are some pics, hopefully you can see where the paint is chipping:

Here's the new cabinets and why i care so much:

    There is a product called Cabinet Hero door protector. It is a cut to size slip on or off top edge cover, that can easily protect your cabinet doors and drawer fronts from damages due to nicks, water, grime, and other elements that might affect those areas. www.cabinethero.com

      Go to a big box store, look for somebody who actually appears to want to be helpful, because "it" could be in any department. See if they have a clear or white u-shaped plastic piece that can fit over the top of the cabinet. If they don't, maybe the l-shaped protectors used on wall corners might work. Those have sticky stuff on inside edges. Or the cord covers in electrical to hide cords along walls or baseboards. You could cut to fit and replace it as needed. By the time you "teach" everyone the damage has already been done. It's a weird hack but why not try?

      Hi! I know this is an old post, but I’m having the same problem. It’s possibly the most used cabinetry in he entire house there is going to be some wear and tear no matter how careful you are! We haven’t even been in the home for a month and it’s chipping. I randomly ran across a builder (Cardinal Crest Homes) on instagram who had an amazing solution. They add a spiece of stained wood at the top. I wish I could tag them on here but I’m uncertain how to. Hopefully this helps anyone one else that runs across this thread in search of a solution :)

      Same problem. There are only two of us at home, older adults who are extremely careful. But, this gets the most wear and tear. I am checking out Cabinet Hero.

      Same issue here. Seems like cabinet hero is the way to go. I cleaned and touched up the whole edge with mohawk ultra mark marker.

      There are stainless steel 3/4” edge covers to help keep it wipeable but protect /cover that top edge of cabinet.

      Can you be specific about manufacturer, and where to obtain this? Thanks!

      I was looking for something to cover the obnoxious lip of the cabinet, that dishes and corningware get dragged over. Home depot (and probably others) have "Alexandria Moulding 3/8 in. x 3/4 in. x 96 in. PVC Shelf Edging Moulding" that should work for drawer and cabinet door tops' protection. (Non-adhesive) Only in white.

      I also ran across the cabinet hero website, they come in pre-sized sections, clear or black, but only in multi-packs (smallest is 4), and cost twice as much.

      Check them both out and see what suits your needs.

      For my needs, we'd need to trim one side down an 1/8". Can't believe that's not an already available product. The need is there. Cabinet lips get marred easily.
