Kitchen cupboard doors painting - car body shop?

Recommended Posts

Last ditch attempt: we'd like to have some kitchen cupboard doors painted in high gloss paint. It's a new kitchen from Howdens, but they don't do the colour we want for some of the doors. Elsewhere on the internet it has been suggested that a car body shop might be able to do this, but the two I have tried locally don't do this. There is a specialist outfit in Camberwell that do something like this, but at what seems like a very high cost and with a 4 week turnaround time.


Does anyone know a business that could do this job within a reasonable time (say a week, or a fortnight)?


Any help would be much appreciated.

For posterity: in the end we used Sandapaints, and they did what seems like a pretty good job. They were a lot cheaper than the other similar outfit in Camberwell (Paintworks), but I should probably note that our job (brand new kitchen cupboard doors) may not have been the most complex in the world. They communicated pretty well, and got the job done sharpish (10 days for high gloss finish).


Spio - of your 25 posts, all of them seem to be recommendations for one business.

    • There are two causes for this problem Β  The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure. Β  The second issue is electrification. Β  Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.Β  Β  That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.Β 
    • Pretentious status vehicles.Β  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.Β  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.Β 
    • I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.Β  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.Β  Dean RichardsΒ  07888 651798 Β
