Attached are some photos of a cabinet installation that is now 3 years old, The silver veneer has been experiencing some discoloration along the bottom edges of the cabinet doors and drawers, The finish is a 2 part catylized clear coat. Does anybody know what this could be and or prevented?

Difficult to say without inspecting in person but look's like moisture damage. Happen's when underside edge of door isn't finished. All to common mistake while finishing cabinets. Remove a drawer to inspect for lack of finish on bottom edge. At 3 years old I'd be calling installer and/or maker.

Have to agree.Or maybe the edges of the veneer are failing (curling) allowing the finish to fail.Hard to tell without a visual.How do you clean the cabinets?Do you spray a cleaner directly on the cabinets?
