I am currently decorating the kitchen. In order to save money on buying new cupboard doors I am trying to change the colour of my exisiting doors which are dark wood stain and varnished. I sandpapered the doors down to roughen the surface and applied two coats of undercoat and a final coat of white gloss.
This appeared to look quite good but the slightest knock seemed to chip the paint right down to the original dark wood. Would it be helpful if I applied a coat of clear varnish over the white gloss in order to make them more resilient to chips, or would it change the overall appearance of the colour?
