The doors I have are really old (70's) but a hideous colour. Can't afford to re-fit and the units are not a standard size, so I can't just buy new doors. I want to paint them red and white.

On doors in the kitchen, I use a high gloss laytex enamel. It is a super tough coating that will take many cleanings. It also releases cooking greases more easily than most other finishes.

Any DIY shop worth its salt will stock a good range of special paints for doing kitchen unit doors. I know that Homebase do them and I'm sure I've also seen them in B&Q

Give them a good clean with sugar soap to get rid of any grease. Apply Eggshell paint in desired colour (would recommend dulux trade ) If in doubt get a good decorator in!

Use a gloss paint specially for kitchens, and bathrooms, it will stand up to the heat and steam better.
