Painting a solid wood kitchen

cozzie55

Hi all

Currently thinking of doing up the kitchen in the parents house. Current kitchen is a solid mahgony kitchen and needs a new lease of life and I need to change layout slightly but nothing too major. The timber itself is in good condition other than needing new hinges and handles etc. I'm thinking of getting the current wood striped and painted in a different colour then adding new handles/hinges and maybe a new quartz/granite work top. This should make the kitchen would be good as new.
Would I be recommended getting a solid mahgony kitchen painted though?
Also what could I expect to pay for say a standard door to be stripped and painted?
Thanks

There's no reason why it can't be painted. Just make sure that it's primed properly with BIN Zinsser or Colourtrend Prime, then it's given an undercoat and 2 top coats.

You won't have much change out of 2k with paint and labour but a lot cheaper than buying a new kitchen.
