New Painted kitchen - paint chipping

swirley

Hi,
We got a new spray painted HDF kitchen a few months ago, the bottom cabinets are navy and the wall cabinets are white. 
On the navy part, the paint has chipped in several places, you can see white on the chipped parts. The chips aren't big but I worry what its going to be like in a few years.  We are not rough with it so I don't know how this has happened.  I have been told by the kitchen supplier that this is normal for spray painted kitchen in dark colours and that we should consider getting it hand painted! they gave use a little bottle of paint to touch up the chips. I am really annoyed because it was not a cheap kitchen. 
Has anyone else got a spray painted dark kitchen ? Do you have this problem?

That sounds very frustrating, I am wanting a navy kitchen and now I'm concerned about this, ridiculous with the money that's paid,, would you mind pm me the name of the company? There aren't many that do the navy!
