Painting Panelling
Panelling is a simple and effective way of creating a focal point within a space.
Whether you have existing architectural features or are creating panelling for your home, follow our painting tips to ensure you achieve a beautiful finish.
- Fill any holes or imperfections in the panelling and sand to a smooth consistent finish.
- Rub down all areas with a medium grade sandpaper.
- Use Decorators Caulk to fill any gaps within the inserts and joints of the panelling.
- Apply one coat of Little Greene ASP (All Surface Primer) For MDF panelling, the grain may raise slightly but this can simply be gently sanded down by hand.
- Remove all dust and make sure all surfaces to be painted are clean then, once dry, rub down the panelling with either a 240 grit sandpaper or a decorating sanding pad.
- Apply one coat of Intelligent Matt Emulsion to both the panelling and wall. For larger areas, we'd recommend applying the paint with a roller.
- Allow to dry for 4 hours before gently rubbing down the panelling once again, you can then apply the final coat of Intelligent Matt emulsion.
