We built our home in 1989 and the spec cabinets used were Merillat. Turns out that the doors and drawer fronts are pressed wood with a "grained" type laminate with "wood-grained" something...but not real wood. I'm guessing some sort of paper type covering. I don't know how to get the laminate off to paint or do anything to update the doors. The cabinets have held up really well over the years, with a family raising 3 children and 2 grandchildren. I would love to do something to the doors, as they don't look special at all, but I am not interested in new cabinets, nor refacing. It appears that at least the cabinet boxes are wood, but I don't feel that the end panels are. I suspect its the same "wood look paper" that is on the tops and bottoms of each door. I can't locate a picture online that shows these cabinets, and I do not know how I can upload one here. If anyone feels that they can help, please contact me. Sure would appreciate any help. BTW...papers from the build of the house do not indicate anything important regarding the cabinets, only that they were spec cabinets.

Just prime over the laminate and the paint. Don't take off any of the paper
