    Won't mention the war mad.png but someone painted my previously much loved... walnut veneered wardrobe doors in cream paint. Is there anything I can do to fix them other than repainting them in another coat of paint. I presume and please excuse my ignorance... that if i strip them i will just strip the veneer off too.

    Also if I was to sand them am I right in thinking I would just be left with badly finished MDF. I was thinking worst case that I could paint them in chalk paint using a bright color prehaps. What do ye think would be best option

    Put up a picture so we can see how much paint has been applied? Was it water based paint or gloss paint?

    Can't put a pic up at the moment as I am not in the property but alot of paint was applied... 3 full length built in wardrobe doors worth to be exact.... I believe its a water based paint and its been painted a month or so now.

    Panelling centre. Change the doors. Unlikely you will recover them at this stage.
