This is the question we get asked most after price. The short answer is that almost every kitchen door can be resprayed. What changes is the preparation and the primer we use.
MDF and painted doors
The easiest of the lot. A clean, degrease and sand gives the primer a perfect key, and the finish is as good as factory. Shaker style MDF doors take colour beautifully.
Laminate and melamine
Laminate is smooth and non porous, so it needs a bonding primer rather than a standard one. Prepared properly it holds the coating just as well as MDF. Prepared badly it peels, which is why the sanding and primer stage matters so much.
Vinyl wrapped doors
Vinyl wrap can be sprayed, but the wrap needs to be sound. If it is lifting at the corners or bubbling with heat damage near the oven, that section has to be dealt with first. We will tell you at the quote stage if a door is too far gone.
Solid wood and veneer
Solid timber and veneered doors spray very well. Open grain timber such as oak will still read as grain under the paint, which many people like. If you want a completely flat finish we will discuss filling the grain first.
High gloss doors
Gloss surfaces need to be flatted back so the primer can grip. Once that is done they take a new colour in matt, satin or gloss just like any other door.
