Best type of paint for veneered wardrobe
Hi all,
I inherited a wardrobe when I purchased my house. It is made from veneered chipboard, and is of the cheap budget range - the type of thing you would get from B&Q, homebase, Argo and MFI. The veneer has a wood effect on it. The doors are shaded green, but still have a wood effect on it as part of the veneer. Rather that chuck it I thought it whould it would make reasonalby good shelving material as it is not marked in any way. However I would like to paint the shelves once I fit them. What is the best type of paint to go for. I have loads of Satinwood, but I guess the veneer is not really wood - some kind of man made material say melamime? The shelves are for a kids room, so I cant have the paint flaking off too quickly. Since the veneer is not wood, there is no point sanding the surface to key the surface. Any ideas, tips etc Bhupesh |
