Backsplash

Paint your backsplash tile to give it new life and change the color. Paint it with a paint that is made to cover tile. You can use a primer over the tile to help remove the shine from the tile and to help ensure the paint adheres properly to the tile. Use the primer first to paint the tile, then apply the paint after the primer has dried. Failing to use the primer may cause the paint to bubble or even peel off easily later. Use a paint that is easy to keep clean, especially if you have a backsplash behind your sink or your stove where it can stain easily.

Walls

Your kitchen is used often, so you need to clean your walls to ensure the paint adheres properly. Clean the walls using a mild dish detergent and rinse your walls thoroughly with warm water to prevent the paint from adhering properly. Use a primer on your walls if you are painting newly drywalled walls, or walls that have been through a lot, such as walls that have had wallpaper on them, or walls that have soaked in cigarette smoke or other damage. Paint your walls with a primer first, then paint them with the type of paint you want to use. 

Cabinets

Painting over cabinets is tricky and can be a lot of work. This is something that you need to do in steps and be careful to ensure the paint adheres properly to the cabinets. You should use primer and clean the cabinets thoroughly, and you should also make necessary repairs to the cabinets as well. Remove the cabinet doors and drawers to ensure a more thorough job.
