    Default painting ikea window shutters

    we bought some shutters a while ago which originally came from iKEA. they were white once but now not so much. to rectify the situation i gave them a little sand and have begun to repaint them. problem is, they are coming up really furry like. two coats of duragard exterior gloss white and they still look . so, should i give them an emery paper rub down and keep painting. or, is there a better way all together.

    An oil-based paint might be better, as it is unlikely to raise the grain like the water-based Duraguard.

    Perhaps this was for a question that asked where to shop. Having reread what I posted, it definitely wasn't about shopping. It was about painting. That's where you apply liquid colour to surfaces. Hope this helps in future.

    Thanks Jack. Will try with oil based. It's weird though. The pair of shutters on the opposite side of the corridor have come up a treat using solarguard.

    Yep, a light sand will knock the furry bits off

    It was my personal opinion of Ikea and a failed attempt at humour.
    Sand with a course wet and dry, spray with a primer, wait 48 hrs to cure properly, dry sand with medium to fine wet& dry then spray with your preferred choice of white
    Just a moment...
