    you can use filler to fix dents and scratches, sand it, and paint them

    Depending on how deep the chips are, you might need to use some wood putty to fill them. Then match as a (probably) custom shade of ivory to the existing (probably) high-gloss paint as closely as possible and use an artist's brush to paint and blend the repair into the original finish.


    Suggestion: Take the smallest drawer in the kitchen to the paint store with you so one of their experts can help you match the color. Another suggestion: Go to an independent paint store, such as Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams or Glidden. In my experience, their employees are much better-trained and more experienced.

    Wood filler, this is tricky to do, but can be done. The finish is shiny, try a clear sealer. Good Luck!

    Once you have a large can of the right paint, use a detergent scoop to fill a pint container with the paint. Once a year or more often, go through the whole house with the small container, wherever you used that color, and touch up the doors. Look especially at the edges. Carry a damp cleaning cloth with you so you can wipe away smudges from the door. Best wishes 😇
