Re laminating MDF Kitchen doors?

    The laminate started peeling off the kitchen doors. I was going to buy new doors but noticed the MDF is perfect underneath. Is there anywhere that "re-wraps" doors?
    Can you paint or spray MDF? What would I use?

    If you want to go a cheaper route and have a colour scheme in mind then get a good primer/sealer (zinsser) and eggshell final coat. Sanding in between coats. Maybe use a foam roller to get the most acceptable finish. It will never be perfect.

    Cost maybe 100 euro

    Or new doors for average kitchen would be maybe 500-600

    Would not vinyl wrap. It is far too fiddly and there will be a fold on one part of the door and most likely you will not wrap the door all around. Price for 3M stuff would be costly also.

    You can spray doors with car primer and sand down but again finish from a can will never compare to an airless sprayer.

    Thanks. I definitely wouldn't try the wrap myself, I can't even get sellotape straight!
    Just wondering if there are any companies in Ireland that does it?
