I am estimating a kitchen repaint (Nursing Home), along with drywall surfaces the customer wants FRP panels painted. Two paint stores are not sure what to recommend (BM & SW) I am leaning towards deglosser and bonding primer and then one top coat of gloss white. Anyone else everpainted this surface before?
Thanks
Jim

What is the FRP panel made of? I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about.

First you will have to sand the entire surface to give it some "tooth" for paint to adhere to. You will then have to wash it all down with TSP . Rinse this off REALLY well. Use a good grade primer and paint on top of that. The real secret is going to be a good sanding, a good cleaning, and a good grade of primer.

Yup, wash it real good and give it a scuff, prime with 123 and topcoat with your favorite paint. I've done a few just like it and havent had any problems.
