    Can this be done if the carcass is covered with the laminate?
    If so, would you give it a light sanding first?
    What primer & paint?
    Zinnser BIN or 1-2-3?
    Undercoat & topcoat of satinwood?

    Plan is to replace all the doors as they are a standard size and paint the carcass with the same RAL number colour paint as the carcass
    Might have to replace the cornice but otherwise I'll have all the doors ordered and can just replace in sections to minimise disruption
    Thanks

    We did it.
    Wash with degreaser afew times.
    Sand to provide key.
    Prime with pegaprim isofix tinted to the finished colour.
    Painted with Tikkurila empire .2 coats.
    Very happy with finished job.
    Hold in to some paint to cover chips in future

    The best finish realistically will be to spray them. Painting them with rollers or brush they will always look painted by hand.

    I sprayed mine. Sand degrease and three coats emulsion sprayed on.

    They look factory finish. Been in since December last year.

    Laminate will fail eventually. Best practice is to remove. Heat the doors first before peeling. If you peel them cold, you will leave glue residue or it will pull tiny poc marks out of the mdf, which will require more work to rectify

    Tbf whilst common. Not all laminate comes off.

    Pulled out various cabinets installed in the 70s many times . And skin was the same as it would have been when installed.

    Depends on use , humidity and conditions in the house.

    It's a while since I last did it, cleaned it thoroughly with krud kutter (recommended by pat macs in Cork, you don't need to rinse it off,
    Then used zinnser bin primer, ( read the instructions), then oil based satin, preferably with a simlated mohair mini roller (not the foam) , worked really well,
