Going away in our old van a week on Saturday. We decided to lighten & freshen the interior so we decided we would paint the woodwork 2 colours, light blue & off white.
To keep the wife happy i bought expensive paint - ronseal for the blue & crown for the 'champagne' kitchen cupbaord paint.
The wife & i read the instructions on the tins - key the surface with 200 grain sandpaper before painting.
Unfortunately the paint doesn't seem to stick at all well. We have had to apply several layers to get any kind of coverage. The tins are 750ml at nearly £20 a tin.
We have bought 3 tins & progress is slow & dissapointing to say the least.Whats more it will take several more tins & a dented wallet to complete. Any tips to speed up the adhesion i.e pva the surface. I appreciate that the units are some kind of laminate but feel robbed paying so much for small tins of paint with poor adhesion & coverage.
Thanks in advance for any help
