Default Odd Kitchen Units

Hi All

I've got to replace some fire damaged kitchen wall units. The floor units
are fine.

The doors & drawer fronts are laminate, with a wood planked effect in blue.
No texture, it just looks like wooden planks stained blue .

Ideal solution is to find out who supplied the units, but nobody knows!

Anyone seen this particular design anywhere?

Plan 'B' is to replace the floor unit doors & drawer fronts to match the new
wall units. Are these replacements pretty well universal? Don't want to
order a load & have trouble fitting them.

Plan 'C' is to paint all doors & drawer fronts the same colour. Are these
laminate primers all they are cracked up to be?

TIA

Or...
Cover the fontage in thin plywood and stain. ;-)

I'd say plan B is your best bet if the carcasses are metric.
B&Q sell doors/drawer fronts separately, and the measurements are all on
the website. Quite a few "on special" at the moment (aren't there always!)
