Kitchen Door fronts

Harry1970

Hi Guys,

Just need a bit of advice as to the easiest way of transforming the old 80's look cupboard door fronts to something new. I was thinking of a spray paint? Dont want to replace the doors completely as they are still in excellent condition.

I recommend workshop member @ProjectPete's magical kitchen makeover. Its an inspiring make over without the atronomical price involved with kitchen make overs. Theres also White Knight laminate paint from Bunnings that should work on those doors and give it a new look!

Hi @Harry1970 and thanks for the shout out @redracer01. White Knight Laminate Paint is the product. Bit of prep/time involved so be ready for that. Great result though!

Thanks guys, great help. Will be tackling that one soon.

Chat again shortly

Great, thanks @Harry1970. We look forward to seeing the results.

I have recently done just this! 80s kitchen cabinetry vs White Knight laminate paint - will post results soon and let you know how it went

Hi @Harry1970

This is with zero previous experience with painting/other DIY things. Almost everything that can be WhiteKnight'd has been WhiteKnight'd

Clearly the base cabinets could do with a few more coats..

Harry1970

@RohanH. That looks great. Is that the same treatment to the benchtop too? If so, thats exactly what I need here.

Will send thru' photos once omplete.

RohanH

Same paint on all of it. Didn't actually apply a primer coat to the benchtop because it was an afterthought, but definitely recommend putting the WhiteKnight laminate and tile primer on first. Depending on the original colour you may need extra coats. And it can be tinted to any colour, good luck!
