I prefer vinyl any day over paint. But that's just my opinion! With 25 years kitchen experience and a passion for what I do, I have joined this forum to offer advice or at least my opinion on all things relevant to kitchens. I was a cabinetmaker by trade and am now a senior manager of a kitchen company. Re: Vinyl Wrap vs 2 Pack/Handpainted 10Oct 12, 2015 4:15 pm Kitchenpro ah the old 2 pac versus vinyl debate again. I prefer vinyl any day over paint. But that's just my opinion! When you say "paint" do you mean brush paint or 2pac?? Unfortunately for kitchens vinyl has some very large problems even when fitted correctly!

My mum had her kitchen cupboards done in vinyl wrap and after a few months we noticed the vinyl wrap on the cupboards next to the rangehood and oven had started to melt. She ended up replacing the vinyl wrap on the cupboards three times only to have them melt again after a few months. Eventually out of complete frustration she replaced the doors with painted doors. They look fantastic and we cannot tell the difference between the doors with vinyl wrap and ones that are painted. Vinyl wrap doors are not worth the hassle. Hope that helps Re: Vinyl Wrap vs 2 Pack/Handpainted 12Oct 24, 2015 1:25 am lenarufus CuttingEdgeKitchens lazandjohn [quote="CuttingEdgeKitchens"]The paint is purchased from a local hardware store and applied with a brush!

All a matter of personal taste, and I don't think the quality of hand painted is necessarily inferior to sprayed paint Understand your point but 2PAC doesn't need to be high gloss. [/quote] Both 2pac and hand paint come in matt, satin, semi gloss and gloss. There is a huge difference in quality. 2pac is basically the same paint as on your car, yes sure it can chip and scratch(like a car) but imagine painting a car by hand with normal paints(the type people paint kitchen doors with) it just would last. It gets dirty very quickly and doesn't clean anywhere as easily as 2pac! I have seen and built many many kitchens that have had a hand painted finish and with in 3-4 years they look dirty and in need of refinishing. You don't have that issue with 2pac! Hand painted is fine for low use doors like wardrobes but a kitchen is a whole different story!
