smythe74 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm in the process of buying a property which has darkish wooden kitchen cupboards. As I cant afford a new kitchen I was wondering if it would look ok painted with new handles. Has anybody ever done this type of job and if so was it a nightmare to do? Better still does anybody know of professionals who would do it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dongle Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 be cheaper just to change the doors than paying somebody to paint them, average price for a vinyl kitchen door is around £30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil peachums Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Well I am in the middle of painting my kitchen doors with paint from asda. Its easy enough with the right brushes and rollers to get each space. Now looking av handles there slightly more expensive then I thought they would so. Have to look around for a decent price. Our cabinets had a plastic wood effect cover on mdf ripped that off and easy. If your are dark solid wood process may take longer. Sanding and base coats then after top coat give a light sand .

CompServs Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 The price of handles shocked me when I did my kitchen last year. Can I recommend looking at Screwfix and Ikea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I once painted some with gloss, it was a fail, way too streaky. I've also spray painted some silver, which was a bit better! I then got lucky the last time I wanted to do it, and managed to get some beech coloured plain doors that someone was throwing out (they were unused, they had bought the wrong sizes, and plus they didn't have the holes in the side at the back for hinges, rejects I think), and I just screwed them to the front of my existing dark oak, dated ones, and put cheap silver handles on, worked a treat!
