kitchen cupboards.

Can anyone please tell me the easiest and best way to paint the end sections of my cupboards (not wood) to match new kitchen cupboard doors. Do I need to use a primer and what type of paint is the best.

If the ends of your units are not wood, they're probabaly laminated. You could 'google' & ask 'how to paint laminate'? There may be some tips on there for you. Good luck.

Other than that, I would give the surface a scrub, then apply an undercoat, then top coat. I can't see that you'd need a primer as that's usually for bare wood - but no doubt a decorator on here will say otherwise.

Ronseal do a range of specialised paints. (I've never tried doing kitchen cupboards but I'm thinking about it. I'm very good at thinking about diy!)

That must be just what boswell is looking for noddy. Handy to know.
