Should I Spray Paint Edgebanding?

12/10/2014


From original questioner:

I am refinishing a kitchen. I would like to sand and spray the plastic edgebanding. Do you have any advice? Will it bond well?

We spray hpl and pvc banding after scuff sanding with 150/180 with Chemcraft Aquaprime. It seems to stick to everything including glass. It can be top coated with precat, cv or 2k.

The Aquaprime sounds a lot like Zolatone SP-97 waterborne primer (see data sheet link below). We use it to paint over laminate - without sanding - and it works very well. After it dries overnight it can be topcoated with pre-cat, CV, or 2KPU. Do NOT thin before spraying - it will get mud cracks.

Another option when you're using 2KPU is the Tie Bond primer from Matthews paint. It also does a great job - see link below.
