Peeling veneered particle board cabinets

by Lora Y
Can anything be done to them to renew them? Can they be sanded, painted, & maybe sealed? These came in a mobile home made in 1993. Any suggestions are truly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    Hello! Here are Hometalk's instructions to renew a particle board cabinet. However, this process would work well on your cabinets -- if it appeals to you.

    Sand off any peeling areas smooth.


    Make sure they are clean and dry. Use acrylic latex paint. Remove the doors and hardware. Mark the doors and cabinets with tape where they go. Lightly sand the doors and cabinets to remove any gloss and roughen the surface for paint. Prime with a stain blocking primer like Zinsser 123, KILZ,or BIN. Then paint with your color. Seal with at least three coats with a water based polyurethane. Use a small foam roller and foam brush for a smooth finish.
