Nbo14854085 on Nov 20, 2016I used those sunken areas as a contrast trim. My cabinets are painted white semi-gloss. I painted the recessed area with high gloss black. I also repainted the knobs with a black and white water marbling nail polish effect after doing a base coat of self etching primer and white spray paint. I get tons of compliments.Helpful Reply

William on Nov 20, 2016Fill the grooves with drywall patching compound. Lightly sand the whole doors to remove any shine and roughen the surface for paint. Prime with KILZ, BIN, or Zinssser. Then paint with your color and seal with at least three coats of water based polyurethane, sanding lightly in between coats.Helpful Reply

Janice on Nov 20, 2016I will use wood filler but I will have to take my old door in because I have no idea what the color is. I am sure the colors available now have changed drastically since the time these were done.Helpful Reply
