Hi all,
I inherited a wardrobe when I purchased my house.
It is made from veneered chipboard, and is of the cheap budget range - the type of thing you would get from B&Q, homebase, Argo and MFI.
The veneer has a wood effect on it. The doors are shaded green, but still have a wood effect on it as part of the veneer.
Rather that chuck it I thought it whould it would make reasonalby good shelving material as it is not marked in any way.
However I would like to paint the shelves once I fit them.
What is the best type of paint to go for. I have loads of Satinwood, but I guess the veneer is not really wood - some kind of man made material say melamime?
The shelves are for a kids room, so I cant have the paint flaking off too quickly.
Since the veneer is not wood, there is no point sanding the surface to key the surface.
Any ideas, tips etc
