Painting Melamine Cabinets. The primer bonds to the MFC. In the video above Im using Leyland Acrylic Primer Undercoat and this seems to work pretty well.
My DIY desk is made from IKEA sektion cabinets with Grimslov doors. This type of cabinetry is often found in lower-end kitchens melamine and thermofoil are similar plastic materials that are applied over particleboard or MDF to inexpensively.
