How to paint Magnet unit doors to match existing

We have quite an old kitchen in Magnet Old English oak White (painted). It is in good condition and can hang on a bit longer so we are planning on spending this year's renovation budget on the garden.

However we have a new wall hung central heating boiler in the kitchen with lots of visible pipes and would like to cover this with some matching doors on the front. We have found the same Magnet style, Old English, on the internet but in Limed Oak, not white painted oak.

How difficult would it be to repaint these doors to be white to match the rest of the units? Any tips on how to set about this?

    Assuming you can take off one of the doors, nip into any of the sheds with paint mixing facilities (my B&Q) does it) and they should be able to scan the colour and mix the paint.

    If you are considering closing in a boiler make sure you leave enough air vent. It should be in your installation/service manual.
