Kitchen Cupboard Doors - Vinyl wrap or Resray?

[Chunkylad]

I’m looking at what to do with the Kitchen cupboard doors.

All the carcasses are pristine as are the worktops and units. However 4 of the high gloss white doors look slightly faded (sunlight) and one has damage to the j handle (dishwasher door).

Anybody have experience of either wrapping or professional respray?

I really don’t think it warrants a new kitchen for just a couple of doors but don’t have any experience in this area…

We had ours re-sprayed in a different colour a couple of years ago. Look fine. I asked for a tin of the shade in case we had some chips/etc but not had any problem.

Couldn't you just replace the doors?

That’s what I was looking at but was told to respray or vinyl them as lower cost?

I vinyl wrapped a horrible black 80s style counter once, looked fine for a bit but once it rips there's not a lot you can do and it looks terrible. They're also a bit tricky to finish off without an edge.

Paint the fuckers or chill out, just doors innit.

Plenty of online retailers doing good quality gloss doors, if you’re handy get them un-drilled and save more money. Easier,quicker and less messy imo

You're loaded buy a new kitchen. There's a Kitchen door replacement near me and take a door in and they'll make a replacement. Sorry it's South Birmingham.

Just reframe the way you see your kitchen mentally. Imagine it's 'shabby chic' and voila, you're happy again!

I'll accept my fee by bank transfer or cheque.

One option take the damage door to Howdens see if they can match it ,they will you do a trade discount if you set up a trade account with them.

They'll also probably deliver the wrong one.

Put posters over the faded doors…..perhaps that one of the tennis bird showing her arse and one of Echo and the Bunnymen….faded doors hidden and you look real cool to any visitors

That reminds me, I'm still waiting for my laminated poster of the girl in the stripy dress...
