Yep. Having the doors covered is definitely the visually better option than painting the things yourself and then putting a foil on them. We also have similar cabinets standing around; we quickly installed new doors there.

As mentioned at the beginning, I want to paint and not stick. In this regard, I would like to know whether this is technically feasible or not.

Sure. Brush or roller, paint, paint. Technically, it works. You just need the right varnish. Usually, though, it will look pretty crappy. But if that's enough for you, you can give it a try.

And for the materials, it's best to get advice from a specialist dealer. You can bring a sample piece so they can see what condition it's in.

That is a laminate, meaning pressed paper soaked with glue, top layer with wood imitation print. Can it be sanded? Without sanding, neither smooth nor a firmer hold of the varnish. Good varnish, from Sikkens, should work then. "but whether that makes more sense than to foil it?

Hey, great tip with the sanding. I should have thought of that too! I'll give it a try.

Thanks

On plastic, a proper primer is applied instead of sanding. I once painted balcony boards with it. It lasted several years, and that outdoors.
