Paint Over Wood Surface

[ciligaz 0]

Any advise on painting over wood surface (eg. plywood) etc ?

Can I just use the normal paint used for walls or need special paint ?

Need any surface preparation or I can just paint over it ?

Thanks

check on nippon paint website. got guides there.

for long lasting effect, should do:

- sand

- clean

- apply primer

- paint & re-coat.

sanding and cleaning the surface as well as the edge is a must. the paint itself doesnt matter that much.

painting with a roller will be better as compared to by a brush. apply a layer of gloss or another layer of paint after the initial layer completely dry will give the wood a better finish

I tried painting the edge of the plywood. Used nippon wood paint, and painted 3 layers over a period of 1 week, result not what i had hoped for. See photo below (the 2nd photo), the edge is patchy, the wood edge somehow absorb the paint in the end give up and finally found the edging strip to cover it.

huh, painting can hide the plywood layered design leh. U gotta prime it. Painting looks way better than that strip in my opinion.

Unless you are not expecting a good smooth and lasting finishing, whatever treatment done on plywood and whatever brand of paint and primer you use,

it's a waste of your effort. The plywood just keep on absorbing the liquid, you will see a lots of grains appearing.

A light sanding of the surface, and any paint for wood is ok.

For edges, you will need to smooth out with filler and than sanded, before painting.
