Le_Jars Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Anyone found a product here to paint melamine with? I have to do a quick fix on some kitchen cupboards and wondered whether it was worth trying anything like this, as I don't believe you can actually paint the stuff and get it to last. Unless anyone knows any different? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryliner Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 i do not know of any product available in france but in the uk you can buy zinsser (solvent based) or supergripp (dulux water based) use as a base coat then paint surface with paint of your choice,i have painted loads of different surfaces using one these primers first including plastic and melamine then i use ordinary emulsion to colour the surface and i finish using dulux diamond glaze or ronseal diamond floor varnish this dries rock hard and is very tough and hardwearing.

YCCMB Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Both ronseal and International Paints do paints specifically for melamine. I took some over to France to repaint a particularly revoltingly-pink bathroom cabinet combo. It worked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le_Jars Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Thanks, but does that mean these paints don't exist in France? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le_Jars Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Ronseal were less than helpful and 'International' paints, aren't! [:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Oh dear - back to the drawing board then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 An old friend who can't post here any more had his kitchen cupboard doors resprayed at the local garage. Good if you want a plain colour, and they looked ace. Provided they are given a good degreasing first I imagine it would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
