No doubt a stupid question: I've got some primed MDF panel doors. The texture of the primer looks similar to the texture of paint applied with a roller. So do I need to sand this smooth and touch up with mdf primer before undercoating - some advice appears to be to fill all the uneven bits?!? Surely the whole point of pre-primed is to make the job easier? I've recently done some primed mdf skirts, sanded them smooth (but all primer came off obviously) the re-primed under coated and glossed ( with dulux exposure) but took ages. I must be doing something wrong. Advice would be gratefully received. Cheers.
Where were the door purchased from? A few years a go I brought some shaker doors from Wickes which were primed, there was no need to sand down this surface, it took paint nicely.
I used one coat satin wood, the only bit where it is a bit rough is where the panels have been beveled. My doors look like there were spray finish when primed.
Fulham timber I think. I've attached a photo. You can see that the primer finish is pitted everywhere.
They don't strike me as being dodgy as they're all the same which implies that is how they are meant to be. A light sand seems to smooth them down, but takes all the primer off which sort of defeats the object. I guess nobody else has come across this...
