chrysalis1972 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2016 Hi guys, need some advice here. I have erected a partition board in the common bathroom In an attempt to conceal ugly sewage and water pipes. Through wear and tear, the paint of the board which are in contact with water / moisture has peeled. My concern is that it may become mouldy and further peeling may occur. What are my options now? I have read that using a primer and a PU paint on the board may solve the problem. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
w7_lee 11 Report post Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) Partition board do not like water, so I don't think it is the best material to use at this location. Maybe you can consider using acrylic or Perspex, they are water tolerant. And you have no more headache in future. Edited November 22, 2016 by w7_lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Idealpaintinganddecorating 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2017 I would like to suggest Oil-based paint because it is more durable, but it will take longer to dry, and cleanup requires turpentine or paint thinner. oil paint is more common because it is less expensive and tougher.
