Interior Cabinet Repair
Thank you all for your responses. I have already tried everything that was suggested. I even tried asking Lowes if they could do a paint match to the veneer color but was told not an exact match so did not wish to waste their time or my money hunting for a good match.
The piece was broken when removed. We had a refrigerator water leak so it needed to be removed. In the process the repair person thought he could easily safely remove the molding strip of frame work around the refrigerator cabinet space thinking it was glued or nailed on. We found out Thor screws the molding in from the rear so while prying it off it did break.
I had first tried contacting Dawn Thompson, Thor MotorCoach Parts Specialist but she has not responded to my email. I also tired emailing the parts department of Motor Home Specialists in Texas were we bought our Motor Home but they too have failed to respond so I came here hoping someone had a similar experience and answer for me.
The problem is the veneer used and finding out if Thor has it available to order replacement parts
The other problem is trying to find the exact color match if we use real wood to replace that veneer molding piece. All Home Depot and Lowes have been able to suggest is using the color charts from the various stain makers. So we have an assortment of colors from our carpenter guy and so far not finding a good color match.
Thor's method of building the interior cabinets makes it difficult for service work on the Refrigerator and Washer and Dryer as it seems everything is screwed on from the inside as you will find out if you ever have to do the service work.
So still looking for the answer to our problem and I have to feel it is finding the veneer parts Thor uses in the building of their Motor Homes.
