Hello @LachlanP 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about painting your sisters wardrobe cabinet.

I'm sorry but I am not familiar with the Brimes cabinet. I suggest contacting the manufacturer in regards to the process of painting the surface.

Generally speaking, the process involves sanding the surface, cleaning the surface, priming the surface and then covering it with a top coat. But some steps might not apply to this cabinet or rather there are extra steps that we are not aware of. It would best to contact the manufacturer as they will tell you the steps to paint the cabinet.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
