Paint for Westflia kit-chen unit?
Whilst in storage (ie. crammed into my shed with all manner of stuff piled on top of it), the top surface of my Westflia kit-chen unit has been badly scratched. I'd like to re-paint it if possible, but am having trouble locating the paint. It's the dark brown one. Does anyone know whether you can get aerosols of this paint, and if so, where from?

Are they deep scratches?
I recently used T-cut with surprisingly good results to get light marks and damage out of one. It goes slightly shinier but at least saves the grief of repainting.

Problem is that it's a different colour underneath, so it shows through. Need to repaint or re-cover the worktop-lid somehow.

I would've thought it was a laminate surface on there not paint. Gunzl has them new:

Hi, Have you thought of using this stuff that is used when jointing k1tchen work surfaces, it comes in a range of coulours, it would fill a scratch and colour it in at the same time.

Re: Paint for Westflia kit-chen unit?
Sorry lads, you're missing the point - or rather, I didn't explain myself correctly. It's not gouged or anything like that, I just need to re-paint the top panel of the unit, so I need to know if the paint is available. If not, does anyone know of a paint that might match the dark brown on these units?
