Need ideas to renovate particle board kitchen cabinets.

Years of cooking and coffee brewing steam caused my kitchen cabinet doors to swell at the bottom. The doors are particle board covered with vinyl that looks like contact paper. What can I do to hide the swelling and renovate these doors so it looks better to sell the mobile home?
I would leave it alone or paint over it - not the whole cabinet, just underneath. You can't sand down where it is swollen as it is particle board. Let the new buyers decide if they want to replace to cabinets or whatever.
Don't paint the cabinet it might show off the swelling more. Try to glue it down with maybe E6000 or some other heavy duty glue. If you need to touch it up a bit you could use a little stain in the right spots. Good luck
Try sanding and painting first.... if that does not give you attractive results... replace the doors with flat panes plywood doors, with nice hardware.... repaint the whole kitchen to give it a fresh modern look.
You can just replace cabinet doors. Try to find some old cabnets same size. If colors don't match, paint a contrasting color.
You can replace the kitchen cabinet doors. Melamine faced chipboards/Particle boards are a sure bet. Particle boards are cheaper, durable and easy to clean. You can always contract your local custom Kitchen cabinet maker. Thanks.
