    Depending on the style of your current cupboards, would a plastic wrap give a suitable effect?

    Alternatively you can buy verdigris paint, I'm not sure how hard wearing it would be though.

    Yes, I realise now! And I wouldn't try to replicate wood in any case.
    No, they're MDF with a melamine 'foil'. Most likely I'll be sticking with my original plan of hand painting them.
    Cheers.

    Interesting, but the doors have frames and surrounds - ie they sit inside decorative outer frames. Far too hard to have a sheet applied.
    I'll be sticking to paint :-)
    Thanks all.
