Hello all,
I am busy trying to plan out a job to paint some kitchen unit doors / sides. I think the doors are MDF but have a wood effect finish (quite smooth rather than grainy).
Just after some advice / confirmation that this is the right thing to do;
This is how I plan to carry out the work:
1. Remove all doors and hinges (each one will be marked up with masking tape so I know which unit they go back on to)
2. Remove Handles
3. Lay out doors on the floor on small raised blocks
4. Wash down doors with sugar soap
5. Apply one coat of quick drying primer to front and sides (with foam roller / brush for indented parts)
6. When dry apply primer to back of door
7. Light Sand
8. Apply 2 or 3 coats of Craig and Rose 1829 Acrylic Eggshell Paint to fronts and backs, light sand between coats
9. Apply same process / paint to ends of units, shelving etc so that colours match
10. Re attach doors / hinges
11. Attach new handles
Any comments or suggestions before I begin would be much appreciated as this seems to be a bit of a minefield!
Cheers
