    Hello all,

    I am in need a of someone who paints kitchen presses and i dont mean normal paint. i have been reaing up on people who instead of getting a new kitchen they just get the old one painted and it looks great.

    Unfortunally i cant find where to look for one, the golden pages has given me 400 painters but i dont know if they do that type of thing.

    can anyone shed any light on my dilema.

    Thanks all

    Hi Bungler,
    Most panters should be able to do this for you but may not want to.It can be easy enough to do but can also be quiet tedious and time consuming as it can require at least 4 coats to achieve a decent finish.Depending on what type of doors you have can effect the amount of labour required also.
    I have done a couple of kitchens myself and the finish is ok but i would personally replace the doors if there standard sizes as you can pick them up as a decent price in a few places.

    Game.

    We moved 2 years ago, were about to pull out the kitchen and it was decided just to paint it and put on new fittings. Worked a treat. That being said cost about 1500 euro, but it's a bigger than average kitchen. New one would have been a fortune. However the painter was excellent, the best I have ever come across, now semi retired. Bottom line is it can be a great job. It's perfectly possible to do it yourself, but it will take days & days & days to do the job properly. As with all painting it's all about prep. We used farrow & ball paint, gives just the right look.

    I agree with you apart using from Farrow and ball paints.Its so over priced designer rubbish imo.Dulux,crown and some types of fleetwood are just as good and alot cheaper if got in the right place.
    About ten years ago i was painting a boardroom in an office and the customer wanted F&B just because it was a trendy paint.It was about 3 times the price of fleetwood at the time and not worth it as the finish was not any different.
