Painting or kitchen cabinet doors
Posted: September 19th, 2009, 8:33 am
I have question about possibility of painting kitchen cabinet doors instead of putting laminate. The kitchen doors would be made of marine ply. Most of the doors I have seen made of ply are completely flat with laminate on top. I instead want to put have a elevated border. The side cross section like this.

The green part is the front. Now laminate cannot be applied properly here. So I am considering the option of painting it ( olive green) and want to get a very smooth finish.
Is painting of kitchen cabinets advisable?
Would it be durable, and cleanable?
Is there any specific process to be followed or specific kind of paint to be used?
Lastly do I need to put veneer on top of ply or can the ply wood directly be smoothed and painted.
thanks,
Neeraj
