I have a couple of office storage units in our home office, covered in textured melamine with an ABS edge banding.
It's currently a beach/maple colour and I'd like to paint it white rather than replace the units. I'm concerned though that the paint isn't really going to stick to the melamine surface. My plan was to sand the units down to key the surface, apply a primer and then coat with Ronseal Stay White Ultra Tough Paint. I'm just wondering, am I wasting my time attempting to paint the units? If something is dragged along the surface, will it scratch easily and review the old colour?
I can buy the units in white for £120 each, but I already have the paint from another project, so it would be far cheaper to paint them.
