Was excited about the idea of painting my

It’s a plastic wood veneer over plywood.

It’s called thermofoil. You can peel it off to paint them if you want.

You can use a heat gun and peel that off then paint.

Yeah. It’s particle board covered in plastic.

You should be able to peel and paint. But if it’s in your budget, get new doors.

If you paint that it will look terrible.

You can’t get particle board smooth enough for pain to look good or stick to

if you can afford it buy new cabinet doors made out of real wood instead of that garbage.

It’ll look like shit if you peel and paint, the boards are typically treated and you’ll get a weird texture on the surface of the wood

looks like melamine is peeling off..replace the doors with real wood..they take paint better

Join one a couple of the popular cabinet painting groups on FB – there’s at least one group that has pros who offer advice/guidance to DIYers. I’ve seen this ‘thermofoil’ type door discussed.

Heat gun, peel, prime, paint. Will look and be just fine

I peeled them off in the kitchen from our first condo then I used a cabinet kit. It held up for years and helped with resell. You can not paint traditional way. In the kits, I think it was rustolium, it had a good base that filled the board to give a smoother surface.

You could try to use drywall mud on the particle board and sand it down smooth then paint- it would be easier to get new doors

Rip it off then paint it. That’s what I did with this kitchen.

Laminated cabinets, we have the same here im SA. Lightly sand, prime then paint.

Sand the bulge down and cover wood with epoxy Lightly sand it to smooth it out and then it’s ready to paint

I saw somewhere that you can remove that plastic with a heat gun and paint it

Laminate is peeling. Not real wood cabinets.

Is thermofoil the same at laminate? When I looked for cabinets the thermofoil ones were among the more expensive options.

We peeled ours and painted. We plan on one day redoing the kitchen, but wanted to make things look better until then (pretty much all doors were peeling)

Get a new melamine strip and iron it on

Use heat gun and take all the plastic off in one piece
