Furniture/cabinet paint

My advice - You need a product called Zinsser BIN as a primer, then two coats of Dulux quick dry satinwood. good luck!

Hi Jane, Great question! For painting old-style sliding wardrobes with a wood effect finish, you’re on the right track looking at furniture or cabinet paints. ✅ Recommended Paint Options: • Rust-Oleum Furniture Paint – A solid choice. It adheres well and has a good range of finishes (matt, satin, eggshell). Use their primer if the surface is glossy or laminate. • Zinsser AllCoat (Interior) – Excellent for tricky surfaces, including laminate or melamine. No primer needed in many cases. • Dulux Cupboard Paint – Designed for cabinets/wardrobes. Very durable and smooth finish. 🔧 Application Tips: 1. Clean the surface thoroughly (sugar soap works well). 2. Lightly sand to give the paint something to grip. 3. Prime if surface is glossy or factory-finished. 4. Apply 2–3 thin coats of your chosen furniture or cabinet paint. 5. Finish with a clear furniture lacquer if you want added durability.
