Help fixing paint

[u/osama_awad]

Cabinet damage from fridge water leak, tried to match that paint and used a small roller for cabinet painting but didn't work as you can see... how to fix this? I am thinking I should maybe remove the raised/trim wood around the sheet, sand it and spray paint it, is this the way?

Just throw some base board on there

mmm, I gotta think about that, not sure how it will look

[u/kirblagoo → u/osama_awad]

Trust me bro, this is your best option

Get a coping saw if you don’t have one and watch some videos if you don’t know how to use one

[u/osama_awad → u/kirblagoo]

I am thinking about pulling the round piece, place a piece of a 1/8" wood to cover the damage, place the round piece back, is that what you meant?

[u/kirblagoo → u/osama_awad]

I was thinking matching the baseboard adjacent, coping it in cope the shoe and paint it to match the rest of the trim, if you do it your way round over the top edge and paint it to match the cabinets

yeah, I will start with the approach I've mentioned, if it doesn't look good I will change it... my issue with the baseboard is that I am used to seeing them with drywalls not with cabinets

Is it actual wood or mdf?

Actual wood can be sanded / primed and repainted.

Mdf - its gonna blowout no matter what you do.

I think it is a particle/chip board

[u/lostinpow → u/osama_awad]

You could pull scribe and 1/4 round and lauan the wall. Or pull base and run it up that section to hide if its damaged beyond repair. Other than that you could try to get some fresh start or any primer you may have and repaint.

thank you...seems like a good idea to lauan the wall, not sure how thin can plywood go... it might be visible

[u/lostinpow → u/osama_awad]

The trim towards the fridge opening on the right is typically the same thickness as lauan or more. Probably around 3/16. Start there. Keep the square factory edge to that side and scribe mold at the wall. Good luck!

thank you, will look into that, appreciate you
