1. Fill any holes or imperfections in the panelling and sand to a smooth consistent finish.
2. Rub down all areas with a medium grade sandpaper.
3. Use Decorators Caulk to fill any gaps within the inserts and joints of the panelling.
4. Apply one coat of Little Greene ASP (All Surface Primer) For MDF panelling, the grain may raise slightly but this can simply be gently sanded down by hand.
5. Remove all dust and make sure all surfaces to be painted are clean then, once dry, rub down the panelling with either a 240 grit sandpaper or a decorating sanding pad.
6. Apply one coat of Intelligent Matt Emulsion to both the panelling and wall. For larger areas, we'd recommend applying the paint with a roller.
7. Allow to dry for 4 hours before gently rubbing down the panelling once again, you can then apply the final coat of Intelligent Matt emulsion.
