Hi,

I am the process of refurbing my robin, i have bought roseal one coat mdf and melamine paint to paint the kitchen and cupboards with - it states it needs no primer. but when i lightly scratch it it comes off, luckily i have tested on a draw whch cant be seen.

What am I doing wrong? any ideas?

I agree with the above - I used a similar product and wasn't surprised that it didn't quite do what it said on the tin. Kitchen and bathroom fittings have a very smooth finish and paint just isn't going to stick well without keying the surface first.

I sanded it down, but did not sugar soap it before painting.

Thanks for that, will do that in a moment

I'm no expert on painting , but although it says one coat i would put on a very thin coat first and allow it a day or two to dry , then apply a finish coat .
