    i did mine with the primer and a top coat of silver/grey.
    they were dark mahogony before.
    new worktops and the kitchen is revamped for less than 300 quid.

    I'm intending to do the same Dizziblonde so please do tell us if this was a success or not.
    Your kitchen sounds like the twin of mine, which made me start a bit! Good luck :)
