Hello! A year or so ago I had some plywood cabinetry installed in my kitchen. I finished it with Fiddes Hard Wax Oil (not sure if that was a good idea...) but since then some of the plywood has got scuffed and discoloured. I'd like to paint a nice bright colour over it to hide the scuff marks.

My question is - will paint adhere to the hard wax oiled plywood? Should I sand and use a Zinsser BIN primer for adhesion?

The wood feels dry to the touch and not waxy, and it's been a year since the HWO application. Any advice much appreciated as I am a newbie to all this! Thanks
