    Default mdf kitchen or vanity door finish

    Hi

    I would like to make my own doors for my kitchen and vanity units. The missus just wants plain white doors in a gloss or satin poly-u type finish. What is the best way to achieve this?

    Is it to order doors from Polytech/Laminex etc.? Has anyone ordered direct from themPlease could someone give me rough prices for these as every kitchen place I have visited is very non-comittal. I have 25 doors to replace, most of them 300-450mm wide.

    Or is it to buy some MDF and route the pencil edge she wants and finish in white? What is the best way to achieve a nice gloss finish? Do I prime and then paint/sand about 2-3 layers of gloss enamel? Or can I paint the doors white and then coat with 2-pack poly-u such as that sold by Wattyl.

    All help appreciated,

    Regards
    PJK

    Sounds like you want the easiest way. Well that would be to get someone to do them for you. Bathurst should have someone there that paints kitchen doors & panels. Look in your phone book under kitchen renovations or try under Doors.

    I have sprayed thousands of square meters of kitchens and it really ain't somthing the home DIY'er can do easily.

    Cheers

    try A&I industrial coatings
    i'm pretty shaw they moved to bathurst area
    or you could even try parburys wilsonart or laminex industries
    they should deliver to your area
    or even your local kitchen manufacturer they should be able to do it for you
    hope this helps
    cheers
