How to paint kitchen cupboards?

Can I paint my kitchen cupboards? They are a high gloss moulded lamenting, not sure what it’s called. 
if I can paint them, will they look good or am I better off to buy new cupboard fronts?

Re: redo kitchen cupboard

Hello @bushypak 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your kitchen revamp plans.

 

Yes, you can paint your laminated gloss doors, the most important part of the painting process is the preparation of the doors. I suggest having a look at this guide - How To Paint Laminate Kitchen Cabinetry. The general steps are to remove and tag the door parts to make sure they don't get mixed up. The doors themselves will need to be wiped down and sanded to prepare the surface. The door is then wiped clean and prepared for the painting process. I recommend looking at the Dulux Renovation Range as it has a paint system for benchtops, cabinet doors and kitchen tiled splashbacks.
