Painting Thermofoil Cabinets
We are asked quite often if you can paint over this surface. The answer is yes. Thermofoil actually paints very similar to normal cabinets. The prep is critical to ensure the new paint adheres. The cleaning and proper primer are a must, to ensure the finish lasts. You can expect your new paint to last roughly 10 years. The cost should be about the same as painting wood cabinets.
