When it comes to finishing wood, there are a lot of options available. You have a variety of finishes you can apply to solid wood. You can apply stain, polyurethane, varnish, shellac, oil, wax, and even paint it. However, for pressed or manufactured wood, like particle boards, you don’t often have a lot of options available. If it is a veneer top, then you can treat it like normal wood. However, the best finish for particle board is none other than paint. To give you a hand and save you time searching for the best paints, we did it for you. Here are the top 3 best paints for particle board to give it a new look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best paints for particle boards are Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint, Rust-Oleum Latex Paint, and Rust-Oleum Universal Enamel Paint. Chalked paint is very famous these days among people who flip over old furniture and refurbish it. It gives a rustic look to old particle board furniture. Water-based latex paint takes on particle board well, it also repels water once dried. Enamel is all-purpose and once it dries repels water and stains really well. It can be cleaned with ease too.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Particle boards are very susceptible to water, so applying a coat of paint is a great way to prevent water damage. Enamel and latex paints form a layer of protection which gives the dull particle board an aesthetically pleasing look, and also prevents it from absorbing any moisture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are refurbishing an old drawer or cabinet made out of particle board, you need to apply a primer and filler before painting over it. Otherwise, your paint won’t adhere as well as you want it to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rust-Oleum brand has products that usually cater for a multitude of materials. This matte chalked paint can be used not only on normal wood but pressed wood, like particle boards without problems. Not to mention it gives old particle board a very rustic look which is trending amongst people these days. People prefer the look of rustic looking furniture with chalk paint over glossy one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint has a latex-based formula, however, it dries to a smooth chalky finish with a matte look. You can repurpose this paint to use it on other surfaces as well, like metal, ceramic, wood, and plastic. So if you have any other materials used in the furniture, like metal hinges, you can use this same paint to cover the whole piece uniformly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, it has a low odour, which is great since you can use it indoors with little ventilation. Usually, it is recommended to paint outdoors so that the fumes do not bother you. However, the low odour formula of the Rust-Oleum Ultra Matte Chalked paint does not bother you too much and can be used in a garage or indoors with proper ventilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
