Quick kitchen update: how to repaint facades with your own hands

Before you repaint the kitchen facades with your own hands, you need to choose a composition that is well adapted to high temperatures and constant humidity. If the coating cannot be wiped, and if it comes into contact with detergents it becomes unusable, it is better to choose another finish. When cooking, steam containing fat settles on the surface. To remove it, you will need wet cleaning using chemicals. Doors and drawers of a furniture set must be highly resistant to mechanical loads - friction, shock. One of the important properties is the impermeability of the layer protecting the base - plastic, solid wood, chipboard or MDF. Under the influence of constant dampness, the material will begin to rot and collapse. Preliminary preparation and application of the finishing coating can be done at home. This does not require special skills or professional equipment.

Technologies for painting MDF facades

Kitchen furniture with MDF fronts is the most popular today.
This is not only the strength and beauty of the finish, it is primarily the high functionality of the furniture element. It should be noted, and this is confirmed by sales statistics, such kitchen sets are considered very popular. But time passes, the facades fade, fade, get dirty, and so on. Yes, even a banal story - I’m just tired of it. What can be done? Previously, they were changed or a new headset was purchased. Today there is no need to do this; such financial expenses are too expensive. There is a simpler option - painting MDF facades. For this simple operation, colored enamels are used, which can be applied to the surface to be finished – a couple of trifles. But you must first choose the right paint for the kitchen facades.

Types of patination

There are several types of artificial aging of furniture sets:

Paint selection criteria

It should be noted that the modern market is simply overwhelmed with paint and varnish products. But from this whole variety, you need to choose the necessary paint with which you can repaint the doors of the kitchen unit.

Let's start with denial. You should not choose acrylic types. The thing is that acrylic-based varnishes and paints quickly wear out under the negative influence of the aggressive environment in the kitchen. That is, from changes in humidity and temperature. In addition, acrylic surfaces quickly lose their presentable appearance when exposed to cleaning agents.

The ideal option, according to experts, is the paints that are used to update the car. It's all about the properties of this material.

• Car paints easily tolerate temperature changes from too low minus to high plus, and changes in humidity. Even a large volume of water is not scary for them.
• Durability is determined by decades.
• Such a painted surface is not afraid of damage. Of course, we are not talking about impacts and other powerful mechanical loads here.
• A huge variety of design support in terms of colors.

A rich palette of paint shades for MDF

The last criterion makes it possible to paint MDF with your own hands, precisely fitting the finish into the interior design of the kitchen itself. The main thing is to strictly follow all the rules and requirements for shade compatibility.

What types of furniture plastics are there?

The article would be incomplete if we did not, as usual, conduct a small educational program.

What is used for cladding?

Currently used for cladding:

• homogeneous plastics based on PVC, ABS (and their mixtures)
• laminates of several varieties.

Single layer films

Single-layer films are divided into films with a finish effect, that is, coated with varnish during the production process and without a finish effect.

Sometimes melamine resins are used to impregnate papers in such films, so their common technical name is melamine films

Multilayer plastics

Laminates are divided into low pressure plastics (CPL) and high pressure plastics (HPL). The common technical name for these materials is laminate.

HPL plastics can have a finishing layer of veneer - reconstructed or even natural, varnished.

Homogeneous plastics based on PVC

To clad figured facades using membrane presses, as a rule, homogeneous plastics (since they are thermoplastic) based on PVC are used.

These materials have low heat resistance; during operation, they may shrink at elevated temperatures.

How to paint MDF

So, let’s move directly to the main goal of our article – painting furniture facades. When carrying out a painting operation with any other surfaces, their preliminary preparation is required. The same applies to MDF facades.

• The doors are removed from the installation site.
• All fittings in the form of handles, inserts and so on are removed.
• If there are decorative elements on the doors in the form of mirrors or metal accessories, then they also need to be removed.
• There is no point in dismantling the hinges; it is better to cover them with construction tape.

Before painting a kitchen unit, meaning its facades, it is necessary to remove old paint or varnish from its surface. This can be done with regular sandpaper or a sander. The second option is faster and better quality. The only thing is you need to know how to use power tools. Here it is important not to squeeze or create uneven pressure on the facade surface, so that dents do not form on it, which will be very noticeable after painting.

Painting MDF furniture facades using a spray gun

So the old trim has been removed. All that remains is to remove dust and degrease the treated surfaces. To remove dust, it is better to use a brush rather than a rag or sponge. Both of these materials are not effective in this matter. And the last stage is primer. To do this, you need to use a primer solution used to coat wooden products. Today, manufacturers offer primers that contain antiseptic components. This option will be the best for a wet kitchen. It should be noted that properly painted kitchen facades involve applying the finishing material to a dry surface. Therefore, it is recommended that after priming, the façade elements should be put aside for a day and let the primer dry one hundred percent.

Attention! You can move away from the dusty work associated with removing old paint or varnish from MDF surfaces. They can be treated with special solvents that easily corrode the paint, but are gentle on the MDF product.

All preparatory work is completed, you can move on to painting the MDF furniture facades. You can apply paint using either a brush or a roller. But it is best if the MDF facades are painted using a spray can or a spray gun. Thus, the paint will lie on the surface evenly with a certain uniform thickness. In this case, paint consumption will be minimal compared to application with a roller or brush.

But this painting method also has its disadvantages.

• Firstly, it has a large spray area. Droplets of paint fly in all directions.
• Secondly, paint dust will begin to pollute nearby objects. This means that this method of applying finishing must be carried out either outdoors or indoors with good ventilation. But it should not be a house or apartment, optimally a garage.
• Thirdly, you will have to take into account safety requirements. That is, protective gloves are put on your hands, goggles on your eyes, and a respirator or gauze bandage on your nose.

Do not forget that if you do not completely paint the kitchen facades yourself, then the unpainted areas will have to be covered with construction tape or cellophane film.

What you will need

What devices, tools and materials will be needed in order to properly paint the kitchen set.

• Sandpaper of medium and fine abrasiveness. This paper is needed to sand and prepare the wood before painting, freeing it from dust, dirt and old coating. Along with sandpaper, you may also need a sanding machine for better processing.
• If there are chips, cracks or deep scratches in the kitchen set, then to disguise them before painting, you will need putty and a small spatula. Select a putty that matches the paint composition.
• Primer for wood. This product will make the surface of the facades smoother and the paint will adhere better.
• Gloves and goggles are needed to keep your hands clean and to keep dust and paint out of your eyes.
• Construction hairdryer. Using this device, you can “blow off” the top coating of chipboard facades, cleaning them for further painting.
• Screwdriver or hand screwdriver.
• A brush for painting hard-to-reach and small parts, and a roller for processing the main body.
• Painting tape - you can use it to cover those surfaces that you do not plan to paint - fittings, handles and glass in doors.
• Glizal or varnish for the final coating of facades.

Process nuances

It should be noted that the MDF facades themselves are only the main one. But their external finishing can be of different materials: wood veneer, plastic and even metal. Everything said above applies to veneered surfaces. However, it should be noted that during long-term use the veneer itself may become unusable. This means that the question of how to properly paint the kitchen facade will have a completely different context.

The experience of craftsmen shows that if the veneer has peeled off, then there is no point in gluing it to MDF. First of all, it's not easy. Secondly, a fairly large amount of work will have to be carried out. Therefore, in order not to replace the facades themselves with new ones, it is better to paint them. Therefore, the work is done this way.

• First, a special liquid is applied to the veneer surface to soften the polish. It will soften the glue under the veneer and the thin layer of wood itself.
• It must be removed with a spatula or any other sharp tool.
• Then you need to remove the adhesive. This can be done with the same grinder.
• Then the MDF is sanded, primed and painted.

If the MDF surface is covered with plastic, then practically no action is performed. You just need to degrease the surface and apply car paint from a can to it.

If the facades are covered with decorative film, then first of all you need to get rid of it. To do this, you can use a small hair dryer. The hot air will cause the film to peel off and bubble. After which you just need to pry it with a sharp tool and tear it off the surface. Next, the glue is removed. It can be removed either with a grinder or with a solvent. After which the MDF is sanded and primed. And in the end, you just need to paint the kitchen facades with your own hands.

There are questions regarding the poor quality of the MDF façade, when, for example, during the process of sanding or removing the adhesive, recesses have formed. The same technology is used here as with any damaged surfaces.

• The primer is being prepared.
• After drying, a layer of acrylic putty is applied.
• After drying, a layer of primer.
• And one more layer of primer solution.

By the way, it is better to apply the putty with a rubber spatula.

Varnishing

After painting, in most cases it is also necessary to varnish the product. The first layer of varnish, prepared for use, is applied at the same rate as primer (150 g per 1 sq. m).

The second layer is applied after the first layer has completely dried. Then, when this paint dries, you need to sand the MDF panel again. First, coarse-grain sandpaper is passed over its surface, and then fine-grained sandpaper is used. To prevent lumps from rolling off, the treated area is periodically moistened with water.

Another week after this, the MDF must be additionally polished with a sander and abrasive paste. This is the most correct technology, although at home, when working with your own hands, it is sometimes not followed, limiting yourself to ordinary varnishing.

Do-it-yourself painting of kitchen facades

Everyone knows what the process of applying paintwork is. When deciding what paint to paint the facade, you should take into account that for kitchen furniture the main requirement is the choice of a safe and sustainable material. Oddly enough, car paint, the so-called auto enamel, best meets these criteria. Resistant to damage and temperature changes, forming a uniform, fairly thick coating, auto enamel is the best way to cope with this task.

When giving preference to acrylic paints, it should be taken into account that the use of aggressive substances, alkalis and acids can have a detrimental effect on the composition of the paint and contribute to the release of harmful substances into the air and the food being prepared. And every housewife will confirm that these substances are used on the kitchen “battlefield”: vinegar and detergents, accidentally spilled boiling water - all this causes visible and invisible damage and reacts with the painted surface.

The benefits of auto enamel are not limited to chemical neutrality and resistance. A big plus is the huge color palette. The choice of color and brand of paint is a separate topic, here everyone is based on their own preferences and financial capabilities.

KM polyurethane-acrylic composition

The water-based polyurethane-acrylic composition for painting PVC has all of the above characteristics. The manufacturer offers PaliPlast RP 2040 base for use. This is a semi-matte acrylic with a base composition for PVC in white, which is later tinted to the desired color.

The result of the work will be a uniform coating that is not subject to deformation. CM dries quickly. Additives are added to the composition, which allows you to create different textured coatings. You can add pigments yourself and get the desired shade. The color is selected from 2000 shades proposed by the manufacturer.

There are traditional design options in color and non-standard solutions: glitter is introduced into the composition, a metallic color is selected, and a pearlescent coating is applied. This painting of a PVC profile will add uniqueness to the building or its facade.

The coating will last at least 10 years with daily use. Since the paint is non-toxic, it can be applied even in rooms with poor ventilation.

The polyurethane-acrylic composition creates molecular adhesion on the plastic, which allows you not to remove the gloss from the surface being painted, but to apply the material on top. It is important that the coating will be of the same quality wherever the PVC is painted: at home or in the production workshop.

Preparatory work

Preparation for painting facades is an equally important and necessary process. To begin with, it is advisable to prepare all the tools and available materials.

Approximate set of painter:

• automobile enamel of a given color or colors (depending on the general idea);
• suitable primer;
• brushes and rollers of various sizes, a paint sprayer (if possible, this will significantly improve the quality of work);
• sandpaper of various grits: for rough sanding 40, for finishing at least 240;
• masking tape;
• available equipment: rags, paint trays and other convenient containers, paper, film or cardboard to protect surfaces;
• goggles, respirator, gloves - don't forget about safety.

KM in aerosol cans

A small plastic object can be painted with CM in an aerosol. Since the entry of air into the container is completely excluded, there can be no film on the CM.

Pros of using spray paint:

• high degree of tenacity with plastic;
• The dye is easily applied in all hard-to-reach places;
• small parts are covered in an even layer;
• no additional painting tools will be needed;
• the can can be easily delivered to any distance.

This method of painting is often used for PVC surfaces in car interiors. In order for the coating to be smooth and evenly distributed over the entire area, experience is still needed. Pre-training won't hurt.

Painting of facades

It is best to apply paint on a flat, clean surface, observing all necessary safety precautions for paint and varnish work:

• using personal protective equipment: gloves, goggles, respirator;
• carrying out work in a well-ventilated area;
• good lighting, comfortable temperature;
• no heating elements or open fire.

We cover up defects and unnecessary holes

Painting with a spray gun will significantly speed up the work and have a beneficial effect on the quality of the applied coating, but it also requires free space and minimal skills.

Painting with a brush and roller is also easy, it can even be done directly in the kitchen, the main thing is to choose a convenient size of the devices and, as they say, “get your hands on it.”

Primer and paint can be applied with a brush

Immediately before painting, the prepared surface is sanded, thoroughly wiped, and degreased. Applying a primer for the desired purpose (for example, for wood, plastic) will also improve the final result. Drying time is a very important point; artificial acceleration using a fan, a hairdryer in cold mode and other tricks, although it will reduce the wait, will have a negative effect on the quality.

Painting facades with a brush

Painting facades with a spray gun

After allowing the surface to dry for a period of time and obtaining perfectly painted parts with the required number of layers of coating, you can dismantle the insulation, install the necessary fittings and secure the updated doors in place.

We fix the facades in place

This is, in fact, the whole process of conventional painting, which in a short time and at minimal cost will completely transform the appearance of the kitchen.

To give additional “special effects” there is a special product - glisal (glaze, glaze).

Special transparent iridescent shades of any range have a longer drying time. The surface can be covered with relief designs using decorative rollers, sponges, and just an ordinary wad of newspaper or cellophane. The unusual texture will remain even after the paint dries.

A good property of glitz is its versatility: if the result obtained does not bring proper satisfaction, with a slight movement of the roller we erase the “art” and start, so to speak, with a clean slate. When the drawing is acceptable, leave it to dry. Applying the varnish a few days after painting (you need to wait about a week for the coating to set) will ensure long-lasting beauty, and the additional “aging” effect will provide interesting accents in the design.

For quick results, there is a large assortment of aerosol cans with similar properties; the main thing is to carefully study the instructions and choose the right product for various surfaces.

PVC painting technique

PVC dyes are applied to the surface using a spray gun. First, the polyurethane-acrylic CM is completely prepared: pigment is added and mixed until a homogeneous composition is formed. Tinting is carried out before painting itself. The viability of the dye after mixing with the hardener is confirmed for 2 hours. After this, the spray gun is filled with it by passing it through a funnel filter.

When a factory container of paint is opened, a film is often visible on its surface. It must be removed and not mixed with the dye. The film composition has solid insoluble particles and if you do not remove them, the spray gun will constantly clog.

The consistency of the paint resembles thick sour cream. Thick material is diluted with water (no more than 10% is added). Viscosity is checked with a VZ-6 viscometer. Recommended viscosity: 30 sec.

Advice: if the polyurethane-acrylic material froze during storage, then after it was thawed, all technological characteristics were lost. Therefore it is not suitable for use.

The work is carried out in dry, warm weather. The thermometer should show at least +5 o C, humidity no more than 80%. But not at high air temperatures.

CM application thickness: 80-120 microns. After application, the dye does not flow off a vertical surface and adheres well. Usually one coat of coating is sufficient. But if necessary, the coloring can be repeated. The second layer is applied at the moment when the previous one has become semi-matte. If the air temperature is +18 o C, then it is enough to wait about 20 minutes between applying layers.

After 2-3 hours the coating becomes dense. After 48 hours the material is completely dry.

In specialized industrial workshops, plastic products are dried at a temperature of +50 o C. This technology is called forced drying. The paint dries completely in 2 hours.

Metallic coating technology

The metallic effect on plastic is achieved in 2 ways:

• the process proceeds with the application of 2 layers: the first layer is paint with a “metallic” effect with a thickness of 60-80 microns; the second is a colorless varnish for PVC with a thickness of 60-80 microns. Between application of the second layer, a drying time of up to 4 hours is maintained.
• one layer is applied. Metallic paint is pre-prepared. It contains 20% colorless varnish. The plastic is covered with a material 60-80 microns thick.

How to paint kitchen facades so that they can be painted and not thrown away?

How can you update your kitchen if you don’t have enough finances to purchase a new set? Options: buy new facades, order furniture restoration from the company’s craftsmen, or repaint the furniture a different color yourself. How to paint kitchen facades to avoid bitter disappointments? What is the difficulty of recreating a beautiful coating on your own: high-quality painting of furniture with your own hands is only possible after a thorough, long-term cleaning of the old decorative layer. If the removal of paint and varnish residues is carried out carelessly, the surface of the furniture takes on an unsightly appearance: sagging, streaks, peeling paint and varnish appear on the uneven surface.

Paint has improved the kitchen set

But the beauty of kitchen facades can be ruined not only by insufficient processing. Another mistake is choosing decorative paint for individual items without taking into account the combination with the interior. Imagine what a careless look you will get if you repaint French Provence style furniture, which gives lavender or milky-creamy languor and tenderness, into bright orange or poisonous scarlet shades. Colorful cabinets, decorated with antique vignettes, carved shelves, and gratings will literally hang over you with a stupefying weight. Therefore, before starting work, it is important to calculate all the nuances: the materials from which the kitchen is made, the selection of paints and varnishes, and the determination of the interior style.

Original special effects

• The “chameleon” effect allows you to see new colors of the facade from different lighting angles. Day and evening they constantly change their color, making the kitchen mystically mysterious. The chameleon can demonstrate its unusual beauty only on radius facades.
• The crackle effect and decoupage are often used to create classic interiors, kitchens in Provence or retro style. With its help, the surface of the furniture slightly ages and acquires a whole history of use. The crackle technique is used to imitate a web of fine wrinkles. The decoupage technique allows you to cover any thematic image with a web of wrinkles.
• The effect of pearls or mother-of-pearl is formed due to special processing, during which a coating with an optical effect is applied to the product. It creates a slight shimmer and clearly demonstrates how beautiful the play of shades can be.
• The “metallic” effect is created by mixing the coloring composition with special components that form a recognizable metallic sheen on the surface of the product. It is suitable for creating voluminous cabinets in golden or gray color.
• Stencil tint – creating an additional pattern on a painted surface. It is applied using stencils or an airbrush. Designers recommend using a similar effect only for decorating one or two facades of upper or lower cabinets.

Crackle effect

Photo printing looks elegant on painted facades. Using it, designers apply an openwork silver pattern and create a whole world using complex plots or floral prints.

Features of processing materials for kitchen facades

Most budget furniture sets are made of chipboard, fiberboard, and MDF. Each coating, before painting the furniture, needs preparatory cleaning in different ways. Let's consider the main preprocessing methods.

MDF facades

The covering material for MDF cabinets and countertops is a layer of polished veneer, film, plastic or enamel.

How to remove veneer

• According to the instructions, lubricate the surface with a thick or liquid compound that dissolves the polish.
• After some time, use a spatula to scrape off the softened wet layer in the direction of the wood grain.
• Remove the remaining part of the coating using special iron wool or a grinding machine.
• Clean the surface first with coarse sandpaper, then with fine sandpaper.
• Clean the dust thoroughly.

Some more useful information

1. Do you want to turn a minimalist kitchen with solid fronts into a classic one? This is possible by gluing moldings or carved parts onto them and then painting them following our instructions.

Also, before painting, the headset and wall cabinets can be supplemented with shaped brackets (they can be purchased ready-made or cut out yourself), and the base can be supplemented with baluster legs.

1. For the best result, it is worth approaching the “update” of the kitchen in a comprehensive manner and, if necessary, changing not only the color of the facades, but also the countertop with an apron, curtains, dining table and chairs.
2. Sometimes the thirst for change can only be satisfied by replacing/painting furniture handles.

1. Of course, before painting the kitchen or covering it with vinyl, it needs to be repaired: tighten/change the fittings, glue and iron the peeling film a little, polish the scratches, and fill the chips, cracks and holes from furniture handles with furniture putty.

Preparation methods: primer and putty

A prerequisite for beautifully painting MDF and chipboard products is to apply layers of primer to improve the adhesion of the compositions, then putty to create a smooth surface without cracks or scratches, and prime again.

The shades of the primer and putty material are selected to match the color of the paint, in order to avoid glimpses of the lower layers and changes in the color scheme.

• a coat of primer for wooden surfaces to reveal scratches and pits,
• acrylic putty,
• primer 2 layers.

After the composition has dried, you can begin the main operation: painting the kitchen facades.

The correct selection of paint composition and the quality of tools are of great importance.

Proper preparatory measures before painting are always necessary

Grinding

When the putty solution dries well, the base is brought to perfection. Use coarse sandpaper and sand the surface until it is smooth. Then replace the sandpaper with a smaller version so that the smoothness becomes better.

It is optimal to choose the sandpaper grain numbers P400 or P600.

When the putty solution dries well, the base is brought to perfection.

Methods for painting facade surfaces: coloring composition and more

Which paint to choose so that the appearance of the products is impeccably even and smooth?

How are furniture facades painted?

You can paint chipboard with brushes or spray guns with oil paints, water-based acrylic paints, alkyd enamels, drying oils, stains, and furniture varnishes. The advantages of water-based compositions are the ability to make adjustments before they dry: change the shade, or dilute a bright color to a delicate shade. But we get a more beautiful surface when using a special aerosol enamel composition.

Painting of MDF facades with plastic is done using colored aerosol enamels for cars. At the same time, painted MDF facades for kitchens are waterproof, resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures, and durable. Coating with automotive enamel guarantees an even, sag-free layering.

Tools

Achieving an ideal kitchen surface with painted facades is impossible without the right tools and auxiliaries.

The following items will be required when carrying out this work.

1. The brushes are new, wide and narrow, flat.
2. A roller made of velor or foam rubber.
3. Painting tape.
4. Container for paint.
5. Rubber spatula.
6. Gloves.
7. Soft (lint-free) rags.
8. Acrylic paint, oil paint, or alkyd enamel, varnish.

Enamel and acrylic synthetic composition give a shiny gloss, oil paint and stain create a matte surface. Transparent dyes highlight the beauty of the natural structure of wood.

Learn to use a spray gun - it's not difficult

Technique for continuous painting of furniture

You can repaint chipboard furniture with your own hands using brushes or a roller. Spreading with a roller saves paint and distributes it more evenly. Decorative patterns must be applied with a brush.

To paint chipboard with your own hands, movements on the surface are made in one direction. The final layer is placed along the entire length. Each layer is applied after the first has dried: aqueous composition - after 30 minutes, acrylic - according to the instructions. If it is necessary to differentiate the color or material of the facade, use masking tape. Entrance doors cannot be opened until dry.

Painted MDF for the kitchen is obtained in the following ways: select a dye according to the coating material: for plastic or a wooden surface. When the composition thickens, dilute according to the instructions.

If you paint MDF with a roller or brush, then place the initial layer on the prepared area and dry it thoroughly.

Then apply the following layers one at a time, or alternately, with drying two, if the composition has low hiding power. A brilliant mirror gloss can be achieved using alkyd or acrylic transparent varnish.

The gloss effect adds individuality to the furniture

Decorative processing

Creating a refined, beautiful surface is achieved using additional materials.

1. The lace pattern is obtained using a stencil - lace tulle.
2. The technique of creating a relief surface is made using glissal.
3. Do-it-yourself two- and multi-color painting of kitchen facades is done by delimiting the area of ​​the product with masking tape, or by applying stencils.
4. Gold and silver patterns are drawn out with a thin brush and after applying (drying) a layer of varnish.
5. Artistic 3D painting is carried out according to sketches using an airbrush.
6. Marble surfaces are created by applying cling film; it must be glazed, highlighting the relief structure and drawing veins.
7. The relief graceful structure of the loach can be drawn with a simple comb.
8. If you apply a rough canvas or mesh to the surface, you will get unique facades for a rustic kitchen.
9. The use of bubble wrap allows you to create embossing that imitates alligator skin.

Painted facades for the kitchen can be colored with thin brushes and artistic Gzhel paints, in the Palekh style, to depict picturesque flowers, seascapes, cute faces of cats.

Painting kitchen facades with your own hands is a complex process, but an interesting and creative one. The time spent is more than compensated for by contemplating the open mouths of neighbors and acquaintances who have stopped by to see the light. In addition, how pleasant it is to have tea in a room where the painted facades are reminiscent of the splashing of sea waves on the southern coast, the tropical sultry jungle, or a wonderful forest forest, if you paint the kitchen set yourself. Fantasy is limitless, everyone can choose an element close to their heart. Good luck to you in your pleasant creative endeavors of decorating your home furnishings with your own hands!

Color palette

The variety of colors is impressive, you can easily choose the desired shade. There are ready-made shades that can be mixed if necessary to obtain the desired shade. Pigments can be added to the white base color to achieve the tone you like. There are also additives that provide the following effects:

• Matte, this option is usually chosen for furniture;
• Chameleon You can paint all the cabinets in the set, but stick to one tone so as not to overload with color, because the effect is complex. It is advisable that the shade be still somewhere in the interior;
• Gloss is also popular;
• Mother of pearl, experts recommend using it as an accent solution;
• Glow, looks stylish;
• Shimmering.

In order for the shade to turn out well, it is important to monitor the density of the layer and also dry it under natural conditions. Then the paint will adhere securely.

Be sure to read the instructions from the manufacturer, where the nuances of application may be prescribed.

The variety of colors is impressive, you can easily choose the desired shade.

PVC painting details

Before painting PVC, the required volume of dye is calculated. The area to be painted is measured. Knowing the consumption of paint, which is indicated by the manufacturer on the can, the sales consultant will help you calculate how much paint you need to purchase.

Despite the high price of polyurethane-acrylic CM, it is economically beneficial. Since one layer of paint is enough, which means the material consumption is small. The coating is durable, thus the costs will be justified over the years of service.

The coating will last a long time if the dye is applied in compliance with the technology.

Polyurethane-acrylic compounds are environmentally friendly and do not contain components hazardous to health. Therefore, they are used in children's rooms, hospitals, and catering buildings.
