Hi all,

We live in a 12 year old house with Merillat 'spring oak' cabinets.
They are in fine condision except fo the finish. In some parts the
finish is worn off and the wood has begun to discolor from water and
in other parts there is just the usual wear and tear.

Because the basic box of the cabinets are fine, I was wondering what a
reface involves. Obviously new doors, but what about the faces and
frames?

I'm no stranger to wood so I'd consider doing it myself. Can anyone
point me to a good resource?

Or...

If we decide to paint, what (specifically) paint should be used and
what techniques to paint the cabinet parts that are mounted to the
house to avoid overspray?

Thanks all!
