Re-finishing doors for kitchen cupboards and bath room vanity
The doors for the kitchen cupboards and the bath room vanity units are MDF with white melamine on the inside and a woodgrain white vinyl on the outside. The vinyl has been coated with some sort of gloss coating. The sides of the kitchen cupboards also have vinyl on the outside but this has not been given the gloss coating.
The problem is that the gloss coating on the doors has undergone an uneven yellowing where cooking oil vapour and oils from peoples skin has come in contact with it near the door handles.
Worse still the side panels which have not been coated are still stark white making the yellowing on the doors really stand out.
Question.
Is there any way I can remove the yellow gloss coating without removing the vinyl????
I have been told by a door manufacturer, who obviously wants to sell me some doors, that the only solution is to replace the doors.
I have also been told by people who do urethan coating that they can't coat over the vinyl.
It seems such a waste to send the existing doors to the tip just because the coating has gone yellow.
