Anyone ever repaint laminate cabinets? How'd it come out?

First off I have $0.00 money to buy new cabinets. My house came with these bullshit laminate boxes. Funny this is their pretty strong and in solid. So i decided to repaint them and add new hardware

I already tried tiling the counter top but bought the wrong tile, now my sink wont go in or its sitting on top of the tile but with a gap. Plus the mortar is set:lol::angry: I'm gonna put plumber putty and chaulk the shit outta the gap underneath.

Should I bother priming and painting or just quit while im ahead??

They make that shit look sooooooooooo easy on HGDTV:angry::lol::hmm:

prime with kilz and repaint or strip then prime and paint

if the wood is nice you could consider stripping then staining and laminating

add new hardware to a nice refinishing and it could look like new

I know u dont want to hear it but rip that tile up, and redo it with correct measurements.

Thanks Makk. thats whats up. I'm dreading ripping up that tile again :smh: Only thing making me feel a drop better is that at least I tried it myself

For the cabinets I just saw a DIY tip that I can use wood veneer like birch to cover the cabinet doors

I was going to say you can purchase veneer from places like Home Depot and Lowes.
