@JobAndKnock, thanks for the advice as I didn't know the options. The acrylic option looks very promising so will get some samples and decide.

Hi there, I was hoping for some advice. I am looking for a very hi gloss white range of kitchen cabinets. The ones that I have seen in Wickes, B+Q, Magnet etc are shiny but you can still see the uneveness of the coating as if the coating is thin and the chipboard is showing through. I wondered...
