Hi there, looking for some advice from anyone that has had experience painting over melamine veneer kitchen cabinets.
The previous owner of our house looks to have put a single coat of paint straight over the veneer without priming or preparing the surface at all, so we are looking to strip the paint off the chipping paint completely and start fresh.
We have heard mixed things about the Dulux Renovation Range so are trying to work out what alternatives we might have.
If we sand the veneer back a little and prime it, can we get with any primer and water-based paint or is it best to stick with something like the Dulux Reno Range?

We had the same cabinets with the wood trim and we brought a door to Sherwin Williams and had them color match the cream veneer. We left the veneer as is and only painted the wood trim and added brass hardware- they looked awesome and no one ever knew they were the melamine cabinets! Just an idea- good luck :)
