I used primer on the inside of the cabinet to seal the wood. I did not paint the inside, because paint is somewhat expensive while primer is dirt cheap so the less surface area you need to paint the better. I did 2 coats of primer on both the inside and outside of my cab. |

I would always paint all exposed wood (esp. MDF / chipboard). Better safe than sorry in my book. I'd recommend a topcoat over primer too, in case anything ever gets spilled on it (primer will soak it up). I painted the inside of mine light grey for the same reason as sonicflood, it makes it easier to see (it's pretty dark inside!): http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=10;action=display;threadid=18812 |
