I don't know any one who does it professionally- we sanded ours down, sprayed with car paint (Spray cans), and lacquered. Works well, cost was next to nothing, and looks great (until a curious puppy checking to see if the cupboard was edible)....
You can buy spray paint in B&Q specially for kitchens- we've used that in the past, and don't think was any more or less effective than car paint!

Just to add, I am in no way an expert painter, but I did my own with specialised paint for melamine surfaces from B&Q, applied with a small sponge roller. It was very easy to put on and the sponge roller gave a very good finish, no streaks or runs but very slightly textured. Paying someone to do it might end up costing you more than buying a cheap set of cabinet doors and replacing them.

thetope: can you use that paint on the work surface as well? or just on the cupboard doors?
I would quite to smarten my utility room up. We put the old kitchen units (white ) in there about 10 yrs ago and it looks a bit rough now.
After 10 yrs I should probably be replacing the main kitchen units again but no way!

We used tile paint (experimenting) on the worktop- it was fine for quite a few months.... Next up is spraying them black (car paint again) and lacquering..... which should work!

Seriously thinking of doing the kitchen spray paint route, any other specialists recommended?

Glassact, did you go ahead with this, how did it turn out, cost?

Bumping this.....anyone else done this, thoughts?

I see you can buy cupboard paint, anyone know if there is a DIY spray kit available?

Anyone used the Plasticote system?

I had used Plasticote, didn't find it terribly lasting though.... Most cupboard paints I tried I had been fairly unimpressed with TBH. Just by chance, as I'd said in an earlier post I had some paint left over from refurbing alloys- it's worked fantastic and lasts well.
