Paint or oil my kitchen cupboard?

Hi folks

 

Different sections of my kitchen cupboards are peeling off, I was thinking whether to sand and paint it or sand and oil it.

Any ideas to renovate it?

Re: paint or oil my kitchen cupboard?

Hi @AJ-DIYer,

 

These cabinets are likely laminate-coated chipboard made to look like a timber veneer. As the coating is not actual timber, oiling them is not recommended.

 

With these cabinets, your best option would be to paint them using a cabinet paint such as the Dulux Renovation Range Cabinet Doors Paint.

 

Check out How to Paint Laminate Kitchen Cabinetry and Rejuvenate your cabinets with Dulux paint for some guidance on this project.

 

Let me know what you think and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Jacob
