Description
Fleetwood Melamine Primer is a high-performance adhesion primer specifically formulated for difficult, low-porosity interior surfaces such as melamine and kitchen cabinetry. Designed to promote strong paint adhesion where conventional primers often fail, it provides a durable and reliable base for subsequent topcoats, ensuring a long-lasting, professional finish.
This specialist primer is ideal for refurbishment projects where existing surfaces are smooth, factory-finished, or previously coated. It creates a firm bonding layer that allows decorative finishes to level evenly while reducing the risk of peeling or flaking over time.
