If there is such a product, Can i have the name of it ?
I think this would seem a much more inexpensive way that painting or buing new doors and drawer fronts.

There used to be a product called FABLON – maybe still is. Certainly you can buy rolls of that kind of stuff and Wilkinsons and B&Q (probably elsewhere too) in the UK. The only trouble is that it is very hard to get an acceptable finish with no air bubbles or creases.
I honestly think that painting would be easier and give a better finish. You’d use a scotch-brite pad to gently buff-up the surface and then use an aerosol paint spray. You can get a lovely finish that way, especially if you spray clear lacquer over it when the paint is dry.
yes, its called FABLON,okeedokee.
Fablon is the stuff you are talking about, but I’m not sure whether they do a plain white..I have seen a sort of marble effect white though..usually big DIY stores such as B&Q or Homebase stock it, and it comes in a range of colours and finishes, so it might be worth checking somewhere like that
Putting vinyl on your kitchen cabinets is always going to look like a cheap way out. It will be shiny and like contact paper prone to bubbling. The least expensive way to re-do the cabinets is to sand them and paint them and then update them with new hardware.
Rub down the wooden doorframes with sandpaper and paint or varnish as necessary. you can try to either recover the existing panels with a self-adhesive decorative vinyl such as Fablon or replace the panel’s altogether.
