Hello everyone, I am planning to paint an Ikea Platsa system myself in order to match the color with my living space. Since the parts are made of particleboard with a melamine finish, I am unsure about the best way to proceed to achieve an optimal result without chipping or uneven surfaces. Which types of paint are especially suitable for PLATSA? How should the surface be prepared to ensure the paint adheres well and looks even? I am looking for a detailed guide on painting PLATSA, including tips on priming, sanding techniques, types of paint, and drying times. Thank you in advance!

If you don’t have professional equipment, you should still sand carefully and use a primer. It is best to paint in a dust-free room and apply several thin coats. This prevents drips and uneven surfaces.
