Painting over melamine
I know this has been asked many times before but I want to get the current best thinking.
I am wanting to paint over melamine faced boards.
Either melamine faced pineboard (carcass satin)
Or that very luxurious, thicker looking melamine on mdf.
I could be painting with either opaque water based lacquer, rattle-can paint, tinted precatalysed lacquer, or maybe even Dulux Aquanamel.
I assume I need some type of sprayable primer first to overcome melamine’s inbuilt tendency to repel just about anything ? Maybe also rough up the surface with sandpaper ?
What’s the current best practice ?
Cheers
Arron

Have a look at Zinzer or ESP as a primer, there are also ceramic tile paint primers

ESP should work I have successfully painted on glass
Wipe with ESP as recommended
