Hi,

I don't get what this is. Looks like a fine film that came off a bathroom
cabinet in a couple small places and was overhanging an edge. It curled up
as I removed it from the edge. If someone knows what this is and how to
repair the small spots I'd be appreciative.

It's paper with printing made to look like real wood. Not at all
unusual. Probably cheap pressed board underneath. No repair. Try to
strop off all the old stuff and replace it. Available at all home
improvement stores.

It's paint. Probably oil paint.

Seems awfully brittle for paper. Flakes easily. The cabinet itself is only a few months old.

The photo looks like there is real wood under a really bad, peeling and
cracking paint job. Is the peeling stuff brittle? If so, it looks like
enamel that was applied without a primer and then perhaps got some
moisture intrusion to cause it to peel.

I suppose thst's possible The finish material is very thin and brittle.

Looks like a lacquer paint applied to a poorly prepped surface.
You can try to repaint, but probably best to remove all of it first.

Seems awfully brittle for paper. Flakes easily. The cabinet itself
is only a few months old.

The picture isn't particularly great owing to what is the background but
I think the other poster's more than likely correct.

What would help make sure would be better closeup of the piece and then
a closeup (in focus ) of the area of the cabinet from which it came...

If it's very new your best hope is to see if you can get the builder to
upgrade to something better would be my best guess...

I put the best pictures I could get up for viewing This house was a flip
and I don't know who did the installation. Some posters seem to think it's
enamel. It is quite glossy.

May have to have someone look at it and determine what it really is.

Hm. Stripping the entire cabinet is not exactly what I had in mind but it
may be best to do that. I'm pretty big on DIY but I may let a pro handle
this.
