How to update my caravan?

scurbs

My caravan is a gaudy colour and I would like to update it with new cupboard doors and some form of product for the doors to make it look and feel fresh, all the locks on the cupboards are shot. I did sand and paint the doors, but I’m not happy with the result. The paint did not adhere to the shell and is chipping off. Any advice would be appreciated

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @scurbs. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about caravan refurbishment.

So our members know what you're working with, is that your caravan or an inspiration picture? If it's yours, it looks fantastic! If not, could you supply some images, including the areas with which you are having issues, like the doors and locks? If you have any specific questions, our members would be delighted to answer them. 

You might like to start by reading through this helpful three-part guide: How to renovate a caravan.

I understand you'd like to replace the cabinet doors. I suspect they'll be somewhat custom-made, and nothing I could suggest off-the-shelf would likely fit. Could you shoot us some measurements of the doors so we can check? Are the doors beyond repair? What led you to be unsatisfied with the painted coating? Perhaps this could be rectified. Did you use a primer before painting?
 

We have a variety of cabinet latches that you can use on your project. One again, if you can show us the type of lock that is currently in use that would help in identifying suitable replacements.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
