We bought some paint that the salesman recommended from a builders merchant to paint the wifes daughters bathroom door, and it was painstaking to paint, the paint ran better than Sebastian Coe, It did look better but not great. I would go with your idea and buy a new door, not expensive to buy if my memory serves me well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could mess them up with the paint then she would agree to new ones😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bigger job if you also need to replace the frame (casing). Still, I'd take them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Do home (khon Kaen) this morning and the had a door sale display outside with some very good prices,. I think the paint might cost as much as buying a door, but I understand if you don't feel confident , don't feel like changing a whole door, hinges and lock.

MangoKorat Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Having said that, I installed some plastic doors, well a kind of composite on my bathrooms because of the moisture problem. There are plastic doors and there are plastic doors. The ones I bought were pretty decent but I wouldn't want them on a kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I suppose it is up to the ability of the person doing the work. I think the doors I saw in the Mega store were around the 1000 baht price.

Korat Kiwi Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 You could try rattle (spray) cans. Leyland make some great paints/colours. Their R2000 is a base prep especially for plastics. I use Leyland religiously when painting motorbike plastics. Lazada is your friend. Cheap as chips. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korat Kiwi Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Yep they are fairly ugly doors! Leyland are about 50 baht a can plus postage, but cheaper on postage if you buy more. Economy of effort and all that stuff. It's an acrylic lacquer and dries super fast. They may have enamel as well but I've not used that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Normal water based paint works you will need a few coats. It works on blue pvc water pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are cabinets the size shown is pretty standard the doors come with the framing. What you have runs around Two thousand baht today stores like Homepro, Mega, Thaiwasadu. Carries them you can check their showrooms and upgrade from these plain ugly not much more worth it. Lots of nice selections these days I wouldn't paint if not done right will peel and chip. Measure the doors and framing if you are lucky they are standard. I believe the framing is held to cement with a few screws if not caulking.
