I'm looking to touch up one of my worktops which has been badly burnt
by a pan (ie the missus). Some of the damage will probably see me down
to chipboard when preparing the job. I've looked into the topic and
I'm confident that with patience I can tackle it if I can find the
right colour match. A lot of 'melamine' paints I've seen around seem
limited in thier range of colour so I'm wondering if there's an
approach I can try that involves using paints not specifically
designed for use with melamine (model paints such as enamel for
example) and still achieve a convincing effect. I won't need large
amounts of paint if just restoring this area so if I can save money by
doing so then all the better.
