| Refinishing cabinets
I am trying to come to a decision on how to repair/replace the cabinets in my 64 globetrotter. Due to rain coming in through a broken window for a couple of years most of the cabinets are badly delaminating. I believe I will be replacing ALL of the cabinet DOORS with something much like what is original (dark stained plywood doors), while salvaging the hardware for what goes in their place. I believe I can save the cabinet boxes in the kitchen and bathroom, but all others are beyond repair.
To avoid having to match the stain and wood type and allow myself the ability to make repairs with putty and glue, I am interested in PAINTING the cabinet boxes that I am keeping.
What are your thoughts on painted boxes with stained doors? If I go with paint, where can I find a good color for the 64? Is this hardware worth saving? Any other thoughts or advice?
