    Default Painting over melamine

    I know this has been asked many times before but I want to get the current best thinking.

    I am wanting to paint over melamine faced boards.

    Either melamine faced pineboard (carcass satin)
    Or that very luxurious, thicker looking melamine on mdf.

    I could be painting with either opaque water based lacquer, rattle-can paint, tinted precatalysed lacquer, or maybe even Dulux Aquanamel.

    I assume I need some type of sprayable primer first to overcome melamine’s inbuilt tendency to repel just about anything ? Maybe also rough up the surface with sandpaper ?

    What’s the current best practice ?

    Cheers
    Arron

    Have a look at Zinzer or ESP as a primer, there are also ceramic tile paint primers
