Laminate, Melamine & Thermofoil Cabinet Painting
Many homeowners think laminate or melamine cabinets can’t be painted. With the right preparation and bonding primers, they can. Our laminate and melamine cabinet painting services give smooth, non-wood cabinets a fresh, durable finish. At Toronto Custom Painting, we also paint MDF and thermofoil cabinets, and offer wood-grain and faux finishes for a custom look.
