Painting built in wardrobe cupboards

Hi there the best way to repaint your wardrobes is firstly use and oil based under coat and apply twice before applying the final finish which ever you decide to go for.. I have done many kitchen, and fitted wardrobe units this way and you will have no problem with this method. Any further questions do not hesitate to ask me?

Hi there i would recommend to use ESP solution first before you put any primer on the wardrobe ,it's fantastic to stop scratches or peeling from ever happening and you just wipe it on with a cloth and leave it dry out over night ,then put a red bin zinseer and then you can start to put whatever top coats your going to use

Hi. I would use a super-grip primer, the best of which is zinnser b.i.n applied with a mini flock roller. Then paint with a suitable top coat. Just make sure the surfaces are clean and free from any contaminates. I believe ronseal do products also, that are suitable and self-priming

I have used Grip primer and grip extreme both are water based and good products but expensive save your money and buy acrylic water based undercoat you can buy this in 1 litre cans which can be bought at Dulux trade centres ,buy the amstrad brand as its a lot cheaper and the results are the same ,like any painting preparation decides the finish, as long as you rub down the shiny surface of the melamine first with a fine sandpaper then dust of surface and apply the primer /undercoat it will dry fast enabling you to apply several coats before applying oil base satin finish also make sure you have good ventilation while applying the satin finish
